What do you think? Who will win the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2021? Let us know in the comments below.
Im very glad with Portugal´s online result. They totally deserved that, after being again ignored by the national jury
Portugal smash online with no fandom support and any hype.
Imagine that with normal televote.. what they could have done.
Serbia the same.
Good for them
If it weren’t for the low jury score, Portugal could’ve actually made the top 10! I told you that song will do better than expected. I guess going last really helped it.
It was like Italy 2018 Esc all over again.
Performing last also.
Once again people know what’s good and authentic
Unfortunately a lot of people vote for their country and 2 of the ones that think have the least chance.Its funny how it backfired and Portugal almost won the peoples vote.
Congrats to Malena and Armenia! Yerevan 2022 it is! All the best! 🙂
I am glad that Portugal scored better than it was projected.
ARMENIA WON!
UKRAINE IS IN THE LEAD NOWWWW
Kazakhstan is going way better than everyone thought they would! Im super proud of them!
I think France might win again..
Loll imagine azerbaijan winning the year armenia is the big favorite. Big oof.
Ikr , i mean i wouldnt mind if France won again but Azerbajin.. :/
The jury is loving France , Azerbajin and Poland . I never expected the jury to love France that much! Enzo deserves it tho!
I can see a lot of these kids going the Destiny/Stefania route. Amazing performers who can do well at the adult contest.
While I stand that JESC should have a friendly competitive aspect in terms of winning (that’s something that pushes them further in effort), I think that it would’ve been better if the voting sequence wasn’t public, and we got only top 5 places, with each getting a medal. Other places would be available for delegations to see if they choose so, but nothing would be public, unless they themselves wish to share it (with an agreement with performers and their parents). I don’t believe that anyone should be seen as less successful tonight. Honestly, all of them gave better performances… Read more »
My heart melted 19 times now. They are all adorable, as well as talented, and should do well. 🙂
I went with my instinct tonight, giving my votes to Ukraine (Olena has not only brilliantly performed, but also written her entry), Portugal (his voice is just stellar, and I like the melody), and Serbia (adorable nostalgic melody and lovely staging). Seeing people’s lists and polls, I find Serbia so underrated, and I also think that Portugal could easily be overlooked in the televote, as the song is so vintage. Nevertheless, whoever wins tonight, it will be deserving.
I voted for the them countries! I totally agree with ur reasons!
It’s cool that we have a 3/3. In the case of Serbia, I got so emotional, as this is the exact type of children’s tunes which were popular when I was a kid, and even when my parents were. So, it brings me to some older days when being optimistic wasn’t seen as being naive. The lyrics are so cute.
guys no matter what we think of kazakhstan’s song/vocals this year you have to admit that Beknur is a great example of defying adversity
Georgia and Niko still have my heart. I loved it.
France was amazing. Enzo’s energy was incredible.
Ukraine and Olena was just stunning
Niko is amazing!
I voted for italy , geogira and NM in the first round of voting ( i based it off what studio version songs i liked the most ) but now i solely based my votes on performance ( vocals , staging ) i voted for Ukraine , Portugal and Serbia! Ukraine bc she performed amazingly , she had amazing vocals and simple but amazing staging , Portugal , cause i think he is an amazing singer and by far one of the best! The staging was amazing and it took me away! And Serbia cause they sounded and looked amazing!… Read more »
Before the show, I voted for Armenia, North Macedonia, and Georgia
After the show, I voted for Armenia, Ukraine, and Italy.
Armenia’s high note was amazing! I wish her good luck! She’ll definitely be in top 5 this yr!
Poland and Ukraine all the way
For me, the most underrated entry this year is Serbia. Their song is so beautiful and harmonies are just perfect.
Ikr! I just voted for them like a min ago!
Same haha! I voted for Serbia, Poland and Ukraine. <3
I voted for Serbia , Ukraine and Portugal! I was close to voting for Italy , NM and Poland!
It was a very hard decision on who to vote this yr cause of how talented everyone is!
I must say that the biggest grower for me was North Macedonia. I didn’t care for this song before the show, but live performance was really good. I also wanted to vote for them.
The biggest grower for me was definitely Serbia and Ukraine , i used to not like both of the songs but they both gave great performances!
Unfair they make interviews and give more screen time to only a few contestants.
Agree, but it’s also the problem of adult ESC.
No, it is not!
GO MALENA AND ARMENIA <3
Gokd luck to our Queen
THE LIVE SHOW IS IN 1 HOUR AHH
The exact same as my top three! I hope either Armenia or Poland wins, but regardless I will be happy with whoever wins as they all deserve it!
Are any of y’all watching the live show in 3 hours? 🙂
Armenia overrated as usual, Germany is in the top 10 tho, that’s a nice surprise
Whoa that’s a great difference, hopefully the result will be the same in the actual contest, at least for the winner
Hopefully? lol
Azerbaijan is so underrated. A very strong year tho.
Sounds about right.
Armenia is clear winner. Poland seems like obvious runner up.
There’re multiple candidates for 3rd spot. Italy, Russia, Ukraine, N.Macedonia, France, Albania even
Malta is way too low. I think it will do better than everyone thinks. I think it might sneek in the top 10.
My top 5 is the following:
6 to 10 places:
6.Italy
7.Russia
8.Malta
9.Albania
10.The Netherlands
I don’t like 6 songs: Bulgaria, Portugal, Kazakhastan, Serbia, Ireland and Azerbaijan
I’m not surprised that Armenia is on top of the poll. Malena is a queen and will therefore seek great success for the years to come in the Armenian pop industry.
However, I’m shocked to see Kazakhstan ranking last. Alinur and Beknur are a perfect duo despite the latter’s physical imperfection, and they can be a dark horse and wow everyone in Paris tonight.
‘physical imperfection’ ?! Just wow. Do you know that basically, the human body isn’t biologically perfect to begin with ? Even when one’s have a disability ? It’s disgusting of you to consider Beknur’s body as imperfect. Plus he’s just a child!
I know nobody’s perfect. But behind Beknur’s imperfection, he has talent. He raps in the song, and he speaks English well. Also he raps in French – something nobody from Kazakhstan had done before.
If my comment about Beknur upsets you, I’m sorry.
Kazakhastan is my no:19 (last) I don’t like the song and he shouts too much.
Ikr, it’s cute but clearly worse than other songs. It’s song competition, not voice one
A song is a musical composition WITH vocals. Vocals matter too.
If only people focused on moral imperfections and not the way other people look. Anyways, it’s time that arts get truly inclusive. It’s a song contest, anyone who can sing well should be allowed to participate and broadcasters should be proactive about that.
It’s so sad seeing Russia ranked so low. Looks like people don’t know she is sick. I heard she suffers from inflamed vocal chords .Anyway I hope she can sing today and good luck to eveeyone:)
