Intars Busulis from Latvia opened the press conference that started yesterday, early in the morning. Intars answered questions in a very easy manner and told that he always behaves like this. He also added that he has some masks but he does not show them because he just does not need them. All that he needs is his natural charisma.

The cheerful climate created by the Latvian singer was further backed up by the Serbian musicians. They started to improvise straightway in the press conference room. Marco – a member of the Serbian group – has already acted at Eurovision. Last year he represented Montenegro as a song writer. He said that he likes the German song, because it sounds like something very amusing from the 90-s. Marco also likes Norway, as well as Montenegro, Slovenia, Bosnia, and Armenia.

Lidia Kopania, a Polish singer, confessed that initially she wanted to be a doctor. However, if she really were a doctor, she could hardly come to Eurovision. Lidia also remarked that she is not going to astonish the audience with open clothes and half-naked body, as it sometimes happens at Eurovision. Her act is full of good mood and encourages people not to be afraid of any changes in their lives.

When Alexander Rybak started to rehearse his act, there were so many people in the room that one could have thought that ordinary viewers were allowed to come in. These people were Eurovision staff members and journalists who came to watch the first rehearsal of the young Norwegian singer.

At the press conference it became obvious that not only bookmakers think that Rybak is going to win the Contest, but journalists too. Alexander did not try to conceal his joy when he heard all these compliments. He spoke to the journalists in English, and even in Russian. However, Dmitriy Shepelev, who administered the press conference, had to help Alexander with his Russian. Although Alexander Rybak was born in Belarus, most of his life he has spent in Norway.

After the press conference, Alexander gave an interview. When the journalist told that at the press conference people were laughing until they cried, Alexander said: “I hope they were laughing WITH me, and not AT me”. No doubt, they were laughing WITH Alexander.

“It is very good that the journalists here are so benevolent. Eurovision is a great thing. Everybody stops thinking about wars. Some people try to bring politics into it, but it is not right. The main thing here is music. I have a lot of free time and I want to meet Russian people. I have already met Kirkorov. Yesterday I watched a TV program about him and was thinking what a nice person he is, and here he comes and says that he is my fan”.

“Kirkorov came to “Olimpiyski” especially to meet you.” – “Really? Thank you!”

After 11 years of absence Slovakia has come back to Eurovision. The Slovaks insisted on Eurovision broadcasting in their country, because they believe that Eurovision is an integral part of European culture.

The Danish singer Brinck was the last one to rehearse his performance. In his song, called “Believe again”, he tries to convince us that we should always believe in love.
