🇦🇿 Azerbaijan internally selects Yağmur for JESC 2025
After a brief hiatus, Azerbaijan return to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest for the first time since 2021. From a total of 60 applicants, Azerbaijan chose 12-year-old singer, Yağmur as their artist for the Tbilisi stage on December 13. Although no song details are known yet, Yağmur has perhaps given a clue to her music style. She lists famous Azeri export Aygun Kazimova and international Blackpink superstar, Jennie among her favourite musicians.
Azerbaijan in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest
Back in 2012 Azerbaijan made their Junior Eurovision debut in Amsterdam with Omar & Suada holding the honour of being Azerbaijan’s first representative, with the entry ‘Girls and Boys (Dünya Sənindir)’. During the final, they placed 11th overall in the competition with 49 points. After one more participation the following year, Azerbaijan took a break from the contest until returning in 2018. A disappointing 16th place coincided with another departure until 2021.
In 2021 the Caucasus nation selected Sona Azizova with, ‘One of Those Days’ for the Paris final. During the contest they placed 5th overall with 151 points. To date this remains Azerbaijan’s best ever result in the junior contest.
