There has been, indeed, a great shock, just like the RTVE Communications Director, María Eizgarre, predicted when making a statement about the hosts and the interval acts. Radiotelevisión Española has recently announced that the famous and globally-known Luis Miguel, and one of the faces of Christmas' soundtracks of the 21st Century, Kelly Clarkson; will share the stage of EuroVoice 46 and present the Grand Final, which will take place 26th and 30th of December. The announcement has taken place after voting for this edition of the contest has opened.

Both Clarkson and Luis Miguel have been interviewed by Radiotelevisión Española this morning, prior to the press conference that has taken place in the Palacio de los Deportes Martín Carpena. Luis Miguel has confessed this is the "biggest challenged he has faced" in his entire career: «many could say that singing in front of thousands prepares you for things like this, but the truth is they do not. In this case, millions will be watching, not only on the arena but also abroad; and Kelly and I both want to provide the best entertainment as possible. We have some surprises prepared and I think everyone will have a good time». Kelly Clarkson told the press something about the surprises: «All I can say is that we have a costume change and that something really funny will happen, and that we have to reherse a lot. We hope that nobody is spoiled by the indoor rehersal videos!»

Michael Bublé, Benson Boone, Pablo Alborán and Malmö 040 will be the artists performing in the interval acts

Concerning the interval acts, four artists will take the stage of EuroVoice 46 and perform: Michael Bublé, Benson Boone, Pablo Alborán and Malmö 040. María Eizgarre has confirmed that only Boone's performance will take place on the Martín Carpena, while the others will perform from different sites around Málaga: «We want to show the atmosphere and the magic of Málaga during Christmas and how lovely the nights here are, and we have chosen three different places around the city to share it with the rest of Europe. Pablo's performance will be very special, that is all I can say right now».

In Málaga, people remain excited and some's excitement has grown after the announcement of the hosts and the interval acts. Julia Garrido has been an Eurofan for 10 years, since she was 15, and is a huge fan of Pablo Alborán. She has been able to get tickets for the special rehersal of Pablo Alborán in the secret spot where his performance will take place: «I am so excited that I will be able to watch Pablo Alborán rehersing live, but I do not know where the performance will happen yet! I am nervous, and I cannot wait for the contest to actually begin!»

THE PALACIO DE LOS DEPORTES MARTÍN CARPENA, READY FOR EUROVOICE 46

The stage for the 46th Edition of the EuroVoice Song Contest is ready

Radio Televisión Española has released the first pictures of the 46th Edition of the EuroVoice Song Contest this afternoon alongisde the European Union Broadcasting Corporation. The Palacio de los Deportes Martín Carpena is now a step closer to hosting the song contest, that will take place in Málaga between the 26th and 30th of December. According to sources of the public broadcaster, seven contestants have already confirmed their presence in Málaga, where everything is getting ready and hotels are close to being fully booked for those dates.

The stage has been designed by a stage design studio from Granada, with the aim of reflecting Málaga's essence into the stage, with a Christmas touch. Aurora Domínguez has been in charge of supervising the construction of the stage in the Martín Carpena, and has explained to us why the design has been so important for her studio: «We wanted to make the Palacio de los Deportes look Christmasy, but also to show Europe what Málaga and Andalucía are truly like. There will not be another chance like this for our region to advertise, and the whole thing starts with the stage, which is based on Málaga's Cathedral, moorish architechture in Andalucía and also our Catholic heritage, represented in the polar star over the stage».

María Eizgarre, the Communications Director of Radiotelevisión Española, has also been asked about the hosts and the interval acts that will take place in EuroVoice 46: «I cannot reveal any details yet, my friends, but I can assure you there will be a huge shock when their names are revealed. There are a lot of surprises incoming, and everything I can tell you is that the Martín Carpena will not be the only facility where EuroVoice will take place». Some Eurofans are still trying to decript this statement, with some guessing that the city will have a main role in the celebration of this 46th Edition.

Ladies and gentlemen, a very good evening and welcome to the 46th Edition of the EuroVoice Song Contest!

We are finally back. Ten months after Ineland's Cherine victory, Spain will hold this EuroVoice edition after being chosen by the EUBC to do so; after Ineland's inactivity on the preparations that the competition requires. We apologise for the delay on behalf of the Inelandic broadcaster and the EUBC.

With that said, Christmas is around the corner and the European Union Broadcasting Comittee and Radio Televisión Española (RTVE) would like to welcome you to Málaga, the 2nd largest city in Andalucía. Tonight, we embark into our first as most as possible Christmas-themed edition, as Málaga is one of the most visited places in Spain during this festive season, when millions travel back home to reunite with their families and friends.

However, as we understand Christmas might not be celebrated everywhere in Europe, this edition's Christmas theme is not mandatory, but encouraged. So, if nations find a good Christmas song to send, feel free to do so! But if your nation does not find one, you have nothing to worry about - your entry will still be accepted!

BREAKING - MÁLAGA TO HOST EUROVOICE 46

The Andalusian city will host this 'Christmasy' edition

The mystery has been solved. Málaga, located in Andalucía, will host the 46th edition of the EuroVoice Song Contest, after the decision of the European Union Broadcasting Corporation of removing Ineland from hosting and holding the contest, due to inactivity on the preparations that the competition requires. Radio Televisión Española was the selected broadcaster after an internal discussion, with the offer being presented solely to the nation that had been selected by the EUBC, following some strict requirements.

Despite not being one of the typical winter cities -the closest snow resort is 140km away from Málaga, in Sierra Nevada (Granada)-, Málaga has been selected as the host city for its very well known Christmas atmosphere, congregating around 1,200,000 visitors during Christmas. The lights installed around the city, especially those located in the central Calle Larios, atract loads of people from around Spain and Europe, searching not only for good weather, but also for an atmosphere hardly found anywhere else. According to the Mayor of Málaga, Francisco de la Torre, visiting Málaga in Christmas is "a unique experience nobody should miss".

The Palacio de los Deportes Martín Carpena, located in the outskirts of the city, and well-connected with the city centre through buses and underground, has been the elected facility. The venue has a capacity of 11,000 people, and currently serves as the home stadium of the local basketball team, Unicaja de Málaga. During past years, the Martín Carpena has held many prestigious events, including the tennis Davis Cup, which came to an end last weekend.

Next Generation Network Alliance Officially Releases DAGK Protocol to the Public

VERINTENO - The NGNA, a joint committee of the Duxburian Central Bank and Federal Blockchain Alliance, has now launched their highly advanced DAGK 1.0 consensus protocol. Programmed by world-renowned computer science experts Grandmaster Brandeus Devoy, Grandmaster Andres Marian, and Master Kade Nelson, DAGK utilizes much higher mathematical algorithms than previous partially-synchronus, directed acrylic graph of blocks protocols such as LINK X and Ripple X.

The permissionless, paramaterless protocol's transaction ordering logic is agnostic to its network latency, enabling it to scale to the size of the hardware that runs it, rendering its transactions-per-second cap theoretically infinite. DAGK's capabilities are limited only by the speed, size, and power of the internet itself. The protocol can finalize some closer transactions at speeds under 50 milliseconds vs the 2-5 second window of the older Ripple X network.

DAGK is published as an open source specification that anyone may use free for any purpose. The Duxburian government and financial sector plan on implementing a closed-source version of the protocol for payments processing by the end of the year, while some smaller credit alliances may be up and running with it far sooner.

The FBA will now deprecate the LINK X network, although as a decentralized specification, any entity running it may continue to run it indefinitely.
