Destiny also talked about how much work she had done to love her body, her skin and be able today to shout “I’m beautiful”. The JE ME CASSE singer also wished the very best to all moms as the INTERNATIONAL MOTHERS DAy is today and thanked all moms for raising children and do all this remarkable work. Destiny is not following the bets and odds but she thanked everyone for supporting her.

The delegation representative said there were some problems with the lights and the camera but they expect to solve them.

Destiny started her press conference where she admitted pink is her colour. When she was backstage she was trying to calm down but when she entered the stage she gave a big wow “this is happening”.

The band’s favourite Eurovision songs are Sweden 2012 and Ukraine 2007. The band also discussed where their inspiration comes from. The and answered that their everyday lives, nature from the singing of the birds, reading a book.

All of their lives are related to music and when they need to relax they travel or go to university and reading books, while Katerina speaks about her cat. The cat’s name is Kat and that’s why the cat is special…

Go_A explained about the traditional instruments they used on stage, one of them similar to an Australian traditional one (don’t ask how they are called, it’s impossible to get them). They are trying to use various instruments in all of their music.

The band seems satisfied with their performance although they spotted some technical thing needed to change that’s for the delegation and not for them, actually.

Pyro-rain is used at the end of her performance… Not sure how thrilled the delegation is for the overall outcome!

Don’t forget our daily giveaways. Today we are giving away a ZERO EURO BANKNOTE with the face of Stefania from Greece. More info here.

Slight changes after Ukrainian and Maltese rehearsals. Malta, although remaining in the top, has now 16% chances (not 20% as previously marked) to win Eurovision, France gets better odds and Ukraine gets higher in the winner’s ist by two ranks.

We have the first change. The song starts with lit Destiny and not darkly shadowed as originally did. What we notice is that the staging resembles that of Loreen in Melodifestivalen in 2015 while Destiny keeps smiling all over the performance.

While everyone loves Destiny and the song, there on and off discussions about the camera work which is awful and must be corrected immediately since this concept will be used. The neo lights and the static (although dancers are present) performance is not working as perfect as most of us expected.

Pink sexy outfit with hyped pink boots is what Destiny wears. The pink and yellow neon colours change during the performance which resembles more of a music video than a stage camera result. Wide screenshots are used. Yes, you will love it but the camera work definitely needs something extra to make it more coherent.

The Maltese Lizzo is in da house!

Tiem for the last (but not least) rehearsal as the top favourite comes on stage and we can’t wait. Let’s hope she won’t disappoint us…

Definitely a song which you don’t notice before the contest but surely a song which you will dance to during the broadcast.

Kateryna Pavlenko is giving an outstanding high note at the end of the song, which made me love the Ukrainian entry. Simply wow!

Two dancers accompany GO_A lead singer playing with led lights all over the stage. Tree props with led lights are used. The band and the dancers are wearing minimal close to futuristic outfits.
