Junior AleziRadio Festival of Songs 1999 is the second edition of the annual Junior AleziRadio Festival of Songs, which was held in the Mall of Alezia's Auditorium of Metropolitan Zafizamarrah in the region of Zafizamarrah. The competition was born from a petition from schools throughout North Alezia asking for a "child" version of the annual AleziRadio Festival of Songs, in order to "raise competitive friendship inbetween regions, and to promote each other's regional culture in the midst of the economic boom".
More so, months after the first edition was held last year, The Premier of North Alezia at the time which was Mukhlis Krasnaya Novogrody gave AleziRadio national funding and support to continue the Junior festival as one of his last edicts in order to "Increase creativity and the spirit of it in children by encouraging them to create their own music."
Around this time, the system was also updated in order to prevent any song from reaching zero points, where the voting would be initiated by 45-member jury and then followed by a public vote using SMS and Internet where 450 points would be allocated based on percentages of the vote count.
Another notable fact is the fact that the competition was initially planned to be held in the (at the time) newly built studio inside of (at the time) newly built spherical building called the ABASphere. While it was already 95% under construction and it was possible to hold the event in ABASphere, the ABA committee refused to let AleziRadio hold the event in the venue as ABA have other plans and also said that no events shall be held in the building before December 1999.
And thus, the AleziRadio committee moved the event to the Mall of Alezia's Auditorium, which is next to the Grand Theatre. Built in 1990, the auditorium can hold 2.000 people and it's already including the orchestra pit and a special room which shall be used for the festival's scrutineer room.
In the first time of the festival's history, the orchestra was pulled from the competition, fully embracing backing track. This created a divide on ARFOS Fanbase, one side suggesting that pulling the orchestra pushed the festival to the 21st century, while the others suggesting that pulling the orchestra destroyed ARFOS. The general director of AleziRadio Children Programming suggested that "Orchestra brought in unnecessary weight to our children. Backing track might encourage them to just have fun."
