Finita la comedia!
General hysteria! Premonition of the End! Going home
soon...
Mama, take me away!
With the shield - or on it?
Finally, all these will be over today.
The "Big Five" showed up fresh and full of
energy... no semi-finals for them.
On our left - the dressing room of "Blue" that
howl their "I Caaan..."
On the right - the tortured Lena from Germany with a
security guard from Yakuza...
And we are in the middle! What a great company!
In the morning – rehearsal, and in the evening – the
Final is already here! Yesterday there were two more rehearsals...
The Irish are walking down the corridor - two out of
the casket, the twins from the "diabolical" box,
The Frenchman smokes nervously on the balcony,
Alyosha Sparrow grasps the girls by the knee...
Four expanders are brought to the "Blue"
dressing room. Probably they will pump up their chest and biceps...
In the corridor - dancers in elastic costumes creep on
the floor,
Mika Newton from Ukraine sleeps in the
"embryo" position on a sofa from the backstage,
The Dane runs around with a guitar... and smiles.
The lift is off, for security purposes, and the
dressing rooms are on the 5th floor. All are training their legs
several times a day…
Volunteers shout to us: “Make-up in 10 minutes”
Then
“In-ear monitors in 15 minutes"
Around us – an atmosphere of a traveling circus!
I cannot concentrate. My head is spinning around...
Noise, shouting, chaos!
Everyone is taking pictures...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA ...
But being calm,
complete peace of mind -
This is the most important thing now!
15 minutes left until going on stage.
We are already downstairs, the in-ear monitors are on,
the palms are getting wet, some people... artists move around, everybody’s
looking at the screen.
The pumped up and shiny British, looking just like from
a cover of a magazine, go to the stage...
We are the following.
It is very cold.
The stadium roars.
Switzerland performs. Lena comes to the waiting room.
The palms are too wet already, and the throat gets dry...
"Blue" with the back-vocalists sing on
stage: "I can, I will, I know... I can... "
We smile and our kushmas cling to everything!
Finally, we are at the stage.
Hurray!
There will be no more rehearsals, so we need to rock
it big time!
I read what I’ve written on a piece of paper:
- Breathe, do not rush, groove, facial expressions
- Move easily, do not forget about the trumpet. Be elegant
with Tanya, 2 and a half circles, before "I see" - a deep breath, and
wave the kushmas to the beat.
- Get the monocle in advance...
Camera in our face - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, we shout - "So
Lucky"!!!
On the stage – the technical staff is taking away the
LED-screens of the British, the countdown starts and the seconds before our
performance are melting on the floor…
Everyone nervously stands on his place.
ZERO seconds, I clearly feel my fast heartbeat, "So
Lucky", slow breath...
Let’s GO!
Flashes,
Ray
Ban glasses...
Wonderful report! For some reason when reading this it made my heart beat really
fast like you were about to perform all over again!!!!
I love how you explain everything in all of your reports!!! They make me smile
:D
P.s You looked amazing and were totally more awesome than 'the pumped up and
shiny British, looking just like from a cover of a magazine'... You were BETTER
;)
Much love from United Kingdom! Xxx
ajuns...
iar notele au fost ca de obicei doar politică. Noi suntem cu voi.
absolutely rocked Europe. Thank you for this performance! :)))
Congratulations on your performance - I saw a lot of UK support for you on
Twitter and Facebook :-)
mehr ich von Ihnen höre und lese um so mehr steigt die Begeisterung !!! Vielen
Dank !!!! Viele Grüße aus Deutschland
Честно говоря не смотрю Евровидение, но когда услышал что Вы были там, сразу же
нашёл Ваше выступление в Youtube. Спасибо ребята, это было искромётно и просто
замечательно, я от Вашей музыки прямо всегда в пляс бросаюсь. А Европу фиг
поймёшь им похоже очень нравится один и тот же поп корм. Удачи во всём,
приезжайте с концертами почаще from Russia ;)
that! thanks for the music and the nice poem!
much non-stop since seeing you on ESC, which doesn't leave much time for things
like writing and shopping and eating. Thank you for a great performance and song
on the night, and thank you for all the stuff of yours I have now found out
about. See how many well-wishers you have from the UK and Ireland? You should
try to get over to this side of Europe with your new album! Hope to see you soon
(& pass on my best wishes to Tanya!) -- Mark in the UK :-)
Всё было суперрррррррррррррррррррррррррррррррррррр!

is completely uncultures and I was embarrassed he thought this song was not
serious!! he obviously didnt do his home work as he would have seen your proven
career record. I really want to see this band after researching other records
you have done but here are no gigs in UK. I wanna come Moldova!! HELP.
Great show, brilliant song!
Kiitos!
Thanks!
