MANILA, Philippines – One of Europe’s biggest music competitions heads to Asia, and the Philippines will be part of it.
Eurovision, the widely popular song competition first launched in Europe in 1956, holds its inaugural Asian edition on Saturday, November 14, in Bangkok, Thailand, bringing together 11 countries — each represented by an artist and an original song.
The winner will be determined by jury votes and audience votes, each accounting for 50% of the final score.
Bicolana singer Carmelle Collado, the Philippines’ first representative to the Eurovision Song Contest Asia, aims to make the country proud with the song “Sobra-Sobra.”
Unlike other music contests, Eurovision is a country-based competition.
From established performers to rising talents, meet the 11 artists bringing their countries’ sounds to Eurovision.
Philippines: Carmelle – “Sobra-Sobra”
The pride of Camarines Sur is no stranger to winning music competitions.
And Carmelle Collado hopes to add Eurovision to her triumphs, which includes copping seven gold medals at the 2019 World Championships of Performing Arts and bagging the title in a noontime show singing contest, Tawag ng Tanghalan: The School Showdown, in 2025.
A Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition 2.0 contestant earlier this year, she first caught the public’s attention as runner-up on The Voice Kids Philippines in 2019.
