30 November 2012 [12:40] - TODAY.AZ
The Azerbaijani representatives Omar Sultanov and Suada Alakbarova have started their second rehearsal at the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The duos from Azerbaijan, Omar & Suada, are surrounded by boys and girls dancing with them.
Song number three comes from Azerbaijan which is represented by Omar & Suada with the song Girls & Boys (Dünya Senindir) a performance full of joy and energy.

The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2012 will be the tenth edition of the contest, and will take place at the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam, Netherlands on 1 December 2012.
Dutch broadcaster AVRO will be the host broadcaster for the event. For the second time the Netherlands will host the contest, after hosting the contest in 2007 in Rotterdam. The motto for the contest will be "Break The Ice".

The show will be hosted by Ewout Genemans and Kim-Lian van der Meij. Twelve countries will be taking part in the contest, making it the smallest number of countries participating in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest history, and equalling the number of countries participated in the 1970 Eurovision Song Contest held at RAI Congrescentrum. Israel, Albania and Azerbaijan will be making their debuts at the Junior Contest.

The competition has many similarities to the Eurovision Song Contest from which its name is taken. Each participating broadcaster sends an act, the members of which are aged 10 to 15 on the day of the contest, and an original song lasting between 2 minutes 30 seconds and 2 minutes 45 seconds to compete against the other entries. Each entry represents the country served by the participating broadcaster. Viewers from the participating countries are invited to vote for their favourite performances by televote (though a back-up jury may be used if a broadcaster does not screen the contest live or there is a technical failure with the televoting)..
