Eurovision winners The Roop: “Social media is full of messages; we write to ourselves”

After winning the Eurovision Song Contest, The Roop thanked the audience that supported them. The group members said they felt great support from Lithuanians before the end of the song contest.

“Our social networks are full of messages. However, we are not yet a big star and we wrote the messages ourselves, so we do not always guess,” laughed group leader Vaidotas Valiukevičius, who along with other members often receives drawings from the fans.

However, one of the greatest achievements of the winners of the national “Eurovision” is the fact that their song “Discoteque” is already played on almost all radio stations in European countries. “It is not easy for Lithuanians to meet on radio stations in other countries, so for us it is a great achievement. Foreign listeners write that they are happy to hear us. It is very important how the song will reach viewers around the world. before the competition. We’ll work on that now. “

The group leader Vaidotas Valiukevičius revealed that he has not listened to the songs of artists from other countries, as this may knock him out. However, he did not hide the fact that the song with which he will travel to Rotterdam is particularly credible.

“I didn’t watch a single show. I try not to compare myself to others. Still, no matter what the songs are, I think we’ll stand out. I feel like. I felt it with the song” On fire. “I believed in that and now I have exactly the same feeling, ”Vaidotas opened during an interview on LRT live, adding that before the competition, his performance with the song“ Discoteque ”can be adjusted slightly to achieve an even better result.

Along with other members of the group, Vaidotas Valiukevičius boldly declared that he believes in the success of the song on the big stage of “Eurovision”. “Our work and performance can come first. We have to believe in that and enter the scene with this force,” he said.

Due to the global Eurovision pandemic, the organizers of the Rotterdam Song Festival have several plans in place, but none of them promise the best setting. There will likely be a minimum number of spectators in the large concert hall at a safe distance or the competition will take place remotely.

The organizers view the decision of the organizers in a positive light and believe that with their rhythmic performance they will be able to move people behind the screens.

“This competition for screens is seen by two hundred million viewers. So, whether in Rotterdam Hall or virtually, I think the most important thing is to be able to reach the heart of the audience. The most important thing for us is to reach the audience as wide as possible with the Lithuanian name. Since last year, our goal has been to show that our country can do a lot, “said V. Valiukevičius on the LRT air immediately after winning.
