Duncan Laurence, the winner of the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest, was supposed to perform live just before the ceremony, but due to the coronavirus that was found on him, these plans had to change.

Therefore, we invite you to support not only Lithuanians, but also other artists participating in “Eurovision” in a 15-minute poll:

The first to appear in the final was probably the most understanding Elena Tsagrinou, Cyprus, which featured the tremendously hot play “El Diablo”. It seems to have shown once again why she is considered one of the most talented artists in the country.

Elena previously belonged to the band OtherView, but decided to pursue a solo career releasing hit songs. They instantly received attention on social media and beyond. In addition, he also has his own television show, K-POP Stars.

Soon entered the stage Anxhela Peristeri, for Albania with the play “Karma”. Different colored smoke could be seen on the screen. The artist on stage was alone, dressed in silver clothes. At the end of the song, smoke appeared on the stage itself..

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.

He took the stage and turned out to be a favorite of some Destiny, Malta with the song “Je Me Casse”. The artist has excelled in the past as she won the Malta Youth Competition in 2015, became a young pop star and has been involved in various projects such as Britain’s Got Talent for many years.

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. The singer’s exceptional timbre and live performance distinguish him strongly from previous “Eurovision” performances for its tranquility. On the screen was a virtual orchestra.

He conquered the scene with his movements and voices and once again Representatives of Serbia, Hurricane”, With Loco Loco. The girls weren’t disappointed with not only the lyrics of the song, but also the moves.

Many probably stumbled upon hearing James Newman from the UK name, but it is not the famous performer, but his brother, who performed the play “Embers” on stage. Alice has written songs for the biggest stars in the world, like “Little Mix”, Zayn, Liam Payne and others.

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”. We were able to see cosmic images on the screen at the beginning of the song, then replaced by buildings and silhouettes of dancers. The performer on stage seemed confident and confident. Subsequently, four dancers took the stage.

Powerful voice Swiss representative Gjon’s Tears appeared with Tout l’Univers. The performer on stage was alone. The singer surprised with her high-pitched voice and her sensual song.

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.

Few who know, however Blas Cantó, representative of Spain for almost two decades he wanted to represent Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest. Initially he participated in the Junior Eurovision 2004 competition and even tried to participate in the usual Eurovision in 2011, but also without success. However, this time he immediately reached the final and with the piece I’m going to stay tried to win the hearts of Europeans.
