Distinctive features Israeli representative Eden Alene The Rotterdam sand fascinated me with the set “Free me.” There was also no lack of energy for this performance, as the performer’s dancers swayed with similar dance steps. Just before the show, it was thought that the country would not stray from its main format; for them, the stage was like a podium.

Belgian representative Hooverphonic appeared with The Wrong Place. It seems that the performer wanted to create a serious atmosphere in the arena, which was helped by the shades of black and white. The representatives themselves, whose clothing did not present distinctive features, also contributed to this. By the way, sometimes you can get the impression that the main actor is a bit angry or even scared.

He went on stage with a lot of attention for his work Russian representative Manizha, featuring the song “Russian Woman”. It was believed that the interpreter tried to highlight social problems and show the importance of love for oneself, the body, the rights of women and children. He did not miss the opportunity to mention national, cultural and sexual identities, and all this is based on simple tolerance.
In addition, the biography of the woman is interesting: the Tajikistan-born artist likes to write not only music and lyrics, but also directs and edits videos. As a UN Goodwill Ambassador, she appeared at concerts in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Representatives of the Portuguese group “The Black Mamba” and his work “Love Is On My Side” created a great atmosphere. Half of his performance was shot in black and white, the other in normal color.

Stefania, for Greece performed the piece Last Dance. The message of the song is that nothing ends, that no dance is the last. It is true that Stefania has represented the Netherlands in the children’s “Eurovision” with the group “Kisses”.

Representatives of the Icelandic group Daði og GagnamagniðUnfortunately, he did not appear live in the final due to the coronavirus detected in a member of the group. We listened to a recording of the May 13 dress rehearsal. They performed the song “10 Years”, which is about the friendship of the band’s vocalist with his wife, who, by the way, is currently waiting. The band is often compared to ours at The Roop. The performance was distinguished by its playfulness and synchronous movements of the group members and harmonious harmonies of voices.
