The R.I.P. Eurovision Show

The R.I.P. Eurovision Show was the preselection round chosen by Mlo to pick two or more entries for the Mlovision Song Contest 2020. All the songs are from the Eurovision Song Contest, which was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe. This marked the first time in the contest's 64-year history that it had been cancelled. This was the second time that Mlo sets a pre-round qualifying show to select some entries, after the Kvalifikacija za Mlovision 2017.

Two semi finals were held in the same running order from the original event. Twenty songs qualified from each semi final and competed in the grand final with the "top five" and the host country.

Four songs were chosen from the final of the event: "Tears Getting Sober" by pop singer Victoria Georgieva (from Bulgaria), "On Fire" by alternative rock band The Roop (from Lithuania), "Répondez-moi" by pop songwriter Gjon's Tears (from Switzerland), and "Release Me" by trip hop band Hooverphonic (from Belgium), that got first, second, third and in fourth places respectively.

Format
It was decided that the format would be the same as in the Eurovision Song Contest as every year. Two semi-finals were set to choose 10 entries from each one and then, they qualified for a grand final which included the "Big 5" (France, Spain, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom) plus the host country from the event, The Netherlands.

All the entries were choosen by Mlo at the end of every show. The first semi final was held on 10 May, the second semi final on 17 May and the Grand final on 24 May, 2020.
