North Macedonia in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest

North Macedonia participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2019 which took place on 24 November 2019 in Gliwice, Poland. Macedonian broadcaster MRT was responsible for organising their entry for the contest. Mila Moskov was internally selected on 9 July 2019 as the Macedonian representative.

Background

Prior to the 2018 contest, Macedonia had participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest thirteen times, under the provisional reference of "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia", since its debut at the inaugural contest in 2003.[1][2] Macedonia were absent twice from the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2012 and 2014.[3] They have never won the contest, with their best results being at the 2007 and 2008, represented by the duo Rosica Kulakova and Dimitar Stojmenovski, and Bobi Andonov respectively, achieving fifth place.[3] In the 2018 contest, Marija Spasovska represented her country in Minsk, Belarus with the song "Doma". The song ended 12th out of 20 entries with 99 points.

Before Junior Eurovision

On 9 July 2019, the Macedonian broadcaster revealed that they had chosen Mila Moskov internally to represent North Macedonia in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2019. Her song for the contest, "Fire", written by Lazar Cvetkoski and Magdalena Cvetkoska, was revealed on 15 October 2019.

Artist and song information

Mila Moskov (born 8 March 2005) is a Macedonian child singer. She represented North Macedonia at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2019 with the song "Fire". She is of Macedonian and Croatian ancestry. She started her music career when she was six years old. Her singing career began at her local music school where she learned to sing and play the trombone.

Fire

"Fire" is a song by Macedonian child singer Mila Moskov. It represented North Macedonia at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2019. Before the contest, the song went through many changes and revamps, including an occasion, where Moskov plays a trombone solo in the middle and the end of the song. However, the trombone would have to appear in the live performance, which could have removed many choreographic elements featured in the performance. In the end, it was decided to not feature Moskov’s trombone playing skills in the live performance.

At Junior Eurovision

During the opening ceremony and the running order draw which both took place on 18 November 2019, North Macedonia was drawn to perform fourth on 24 November 2019, following Russia and preceding Spain.

Voting

The results of the 2019 Junior Eurovision Song Contest will be determined by national juries and an online audience vote. Every country will have a national jury that will consist of three music industry professionals and two kids aged between 10 and 15 who are citizens of the country they represent. This jury will be asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently. The first phase of the online voting will start on 22 November 2019 when a recap of all the rehearsal performances will be shown on junioreurovision.tv before the viewers can vote. After this, voters will also have the option to watch longer one-minute clips from each participant’s rehearsal. This first round of voting will stop on Sunday, 24 November, at 15:59 CET. The second phase of the online voting will take place during the live show and will start right after the last performance and will be open for 15 minutes. International viewers can vote for a minimum of three countries and a maximum of five. They can also vote for their own country’s song. These votes will then be turned into points which will be determined by the percentage of votes received. For example, if a song receives 20% of the votes, thus it will receive 20% of the available points. The public vote will count for 50% of the final result, while the other 50% will come from the professional juries.
