Azerbaijan wins the ESC 2026. True or false? Stay with me to the very end of this text to find out if this is possible at all. And if you read the text till the end, youโll be able to hear my song โIโm Choosing a New Eraโ that I submitted to the Polish Preselection for the ESC 2026.
Hello, Guys!
This is your EurovisionaryVoice calling! My nameโs Janusz Jacek Siwiorek JJS. I present my reactions here.
This time Iโm going to show you my most sincere reaction to the song that will represent Azerbaijan in the Eurovision Song Contest 2026. This is โJust Goโ by Jiva whose full nameโs Jamila Hashimova.
Letโs watch the video:

Well, first things first.
The Azerbaijani entry was chosen internally.
This yearโs Azerbaijani song was created by Fuad Javadov. Itโs sung in English and Azerbaijani.
What genre is that? Pop ballad (with R&B/soul elements).
Whatโs the song about?
โI carried your love inside my heart each day
You said our fire would never fade away
Your name was my dream at night
Your name when I saw the light
Oh, I was yours all the way
But now I see through your disguise
The truth is burning in my eyes
Go, I don’t love you anymore
Go, without you I’ll shine
You know
I’ll erase you from my soul
Go, I don’t wanna see your face
Go, no more tears will ever flow
I’m begging you – just goโ
The song is about is about letting someone go after a painful relationship.
The singer is heartbroken but realistic.
She knows the relationship is over, even if it still hurts
Instead of fighting, she chooses to say: โJust goโ โ meaning leave, itโs better this way.
Jiva is an Azerbaijani singer and songwriter. She won The Voice of Azerbaijan. Her repertoire includes pop, dance, and R&B, which she performs in Azerbaijani, Russian, and English.
A fun fact: Jiva was born in Moscow. In 2011, she participated in the national selection rounds for the Eurovision Song Contest 2011.
Vocal analysis (simple English)
- Tone:
Warm and smooth, slightly airy. It sounds emotional and gentle, not aggressive. - Verses:
She sings softly and intimately, with good control. The delivery feels personal and honest. - Chorus:
The voice opens up into a clear, stronger sound, using a light belt but still keeping softness. - Emotion:
You can hear sadness and acceptance. It feels calm rather than dramatic, which fits the song. - Technique:
Good breath control and clean phrasing, no oversinging.
Overall:
Soft, emotional, controlled vocals that focus more on feeling than power
Is this going to be a banger? Hmm, first letโs ask a question: Is this song going to make it to the Grand Final?
All in all, Iโd say this is a very good song with great vocals.
As each juror is going to rank all the competing songs in each show based on the given criteria, I will assign points in the same categories (eurovision.com):
– composition and originality of the song, 9 out of 10;
– quality of the performance on stage, 10 out of 10;
– vocal capacity of the performer(s), 10 out of 10;
– overall impression of the act, 9 out of 10.
So the total is: 38 out of 40 points that is 95%.
Will Jivaโs โJust Goโ lead her to victory? Weโll see if they will get the best result for Azerbaijan. To do that she would have to win the whole Contest (as the best result for Azerbaijan so far was the 1st place; it happened once: it was in 2011).
In the end, I can only say: Well done, Jiva! Congratulations, Azerbaijan! I assume this song might qualify for the Grand Final but of course it depends on the other entries as well. What do you think, Guys?
What do the bookmakers say about the Azerbaijani entry? Well, at this moment (26th March 2026) Azerbaijan is in 33rd/35 place.
Letโs hear it for Jiva and the whole team!
