About Valentina

Valentina is a part of the 'Kids United Nouvelle Génération' and has previously recorded two albums with the group. She was selected to represent her country by FranceTV at this year’s Contest. Besides singing in her own native language, the 11-year-old also likes to sing Italian music too. Valentina’s super fun performance included 4 dancers, one of which balanced and twirled on their head! Her staging was equally impressive and involved bright and colourful LED effects that displayed famous European landmarks in the background - even a dancing Eiffel Tower!

This year’s show was hosted by Polish TV presenters Ida Nowakowska-Herndon, Rafał Brzozowski and Małgorzata Tomaszewska. Today's show was quite a bit different from previous editions not only because it took place during a global pandemic but also because of how it was broadcast. The 2020 competition combined prerecorded performances with a live show in Warsaw that included the use of augmented technologies that have never been used before in Junior Eurovision. The Contest was watched by millions on TV and on the official Junior Eurovision YouTube channel. Do you want to hear the song from this year's Junior Eurovision Song Contest?
