Canada’s five Eurovision 2027 hopefuls will perform live this weekend as they look to win over the public and secure their place at next year’s contest in Bulgaria.<\/p>\n
CBC\/Radio-Canada has announced a special program, Horizon Eurovision, which will see each of the five competing artists deliver a 10-minute live performance while voting remains open.<\/p>\n
The performances will take place on Sunday 1 November, giving Canadians another opportunity to hear from the artists before deciding who should represent their country at Eurovision.<\/p>\n
The five artists competing are:<\/p>\n
Josiane<\/p>\n
R\u00eave<\/p>\n
Tyler Shaw<\/p>\n
TALK<\/p>\n
William Cloutier<\/p>\n
Hosted by Catherine Pogonat and Odario Williams, Horizon Eurovision\u00a0will broadcast live on CBC Music and ICI MUSIQUE at 4pm Eastern Time on Sunday 1 November (8am Monday 2 November AEDT).<\/p>\n
The program will subsequently be broadcast across CBC\/Radio-Canada’s television, radio and digital platforms, including CBC TV and CBC Gem on Tuesday 3 November.<\/p>\n
More opportunities to get to know the artists<\/p>\n
Ahead of the live performances, the five finalists will also feature in Eurovision Song Contest: Meet Canada’s Finalists.<\/p>\n
Hosted by Tom Power, the program will feature individual interviews with each artist on Canada’s Eurovision stage.<\/p>\n
It will air on CBC TV and CBC Gem on Thursday 29 October, followed by CBC Radio One on Friday 30 October.<\/p>\n
How will Canada’s Eurovision artist be chosen?<\/p>\n
Voting is already underway, with Canadians able to cast one vote each day for their preferred artist, up to a maximum of 10 votes during the voting period.<\/p>\n
Voting closes on Thursday 5 November at 11:59pm Pacific Time, with the public deciding which of the five artists will represent Canada at its Eurovision debut.<\/p>\n
Unlike traditional national finals, Canada is selecting its artist first, with the Eurovision song to be chosen afterwards.<\/p>\n
Canada will make its Eurovision debut in Burgas, Bulgaria, in May 2027, becoming the first new country to join the competition since Australia in 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Canada’s five Eurovision 2027 hopefuls will perform live this weekend as they look to win over the public…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":644342,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[156,111,139,69,437],"class_list":["post-644341","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/644341","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=644341"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/644341\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/644342"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=644341"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=644341"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=644341"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
