Questions around Azerbaijan’s Eurovision entry “Just Go” have resurfaced after a demo version of the song with female vocals appeared in online discussion.
The Telegram channel “Евровидение • Eurovision” reported that the “Just Go” demo had previously been available on YouTube. According to the channel, access to the video was later restricted or the clip was made private. The video, however, remained available in the Telegram post.
A file reviewed by VestiBaku is an MP4 video titled “Just Go _ Female Demo version.” It runs for about four minutes. The video itself is mostly static, showing a singer at a microphone with the words “Just Go.” The audio track contains a female vocal.
The file does not, by itself, prove that the vocal was generated by artificial intelligence. Its metadata does not contain a clear AI label, a reliable creation date or any technical marker that would allow such a conclusion without separate expert analysis.
Still, the existence of the demo helps explain why Azerbaijan’s Eurovision entry drew questions during the season. Fans and Eurovision-focused pages had discussed whether the song or some of its early material may have involved AI tools.
Azerbaijan’s official Eurovision 2026 entry was JIVA’s “Just Go.” Eurovision.com reported that the song was released on March 9 and was written and composed by Azerbaijani-American composer Fuad Javadov. The official music video was directed by Farhad Ali.
After criticism emerged, İctimai Television rejected claims that the song had been created using artificial intelligence.

According to That Eurovision Site, the Azerbaijani broadcaster said “Just Go” was an original work produced through a professional songwriting and creative process.
Eurovision.com describes JIVA, whose full name is Jamila Hashimova, as an Azerbaijani singer known for strong vocals and live performance experience.
That leaves several separate facts on the table.
A female-vocal demo of “Just Go” exists as a separate file.
The Telegram channel “Евровидение • Eurovision” says the video was once available on YouTube and was later made inaccessible.
The file does not technically prove AI-generated vocals.
The official Azerbaijani broadcaster has already denied AI-related allegations about the entry.
That is why the question needs careful wording. The available material does not support a hard claim that Azerbaijan used AI vocals in the official Eurovision performance. What it does show is that questions around the song’s early versions, authorship process and public presentation did not disappear after the official denial.
For Eurovision, the issue is wider than one song. AI in music, demo production, video imagery and vocal drafts is becoming a serious question for contests built around live performance, authorship and public trust.
In the case of “Just Go,” there is still no public proof that AI-generated vocals were used in the official contest version or on stage. But the demo controversy shows that the question of how Eurovision songs are made is now part of the competition’s new reality.
