– It is difficult to understand how big it is to take part in Eurovision until you actually stand in it. I’m incredibly grateful to be here and I’m really looking forward to performing, says Alessandra. In the last week preparations have been in full swing in Liverpool – the city where the Eurovision final will take place. But in order to get to the grand final, Alessandra and the rest of the contestants must get through the semi-finals. 10 participating countries advance from each semi-final. The “Big Five”, i.e. France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Great Britain, are already pre-qualified together with last year’s winner Ukraine. This is the sequence in the semi-finals Semi-final 1 Norway – Alessandra, “Queen of Kings” Malta – The Busker, “Dance (Our Own Party) Serbia – Luke Black, “Samo Mi Se Spava” Latvia – Sudden Lights, “Aijä” Portugal – Mimicat , “Ai Coração” Ireland – Wild Youth, “We Are One” Croatia – Let 3, “Mama ŠČ!” Switzerland – Remo Forrer, “Watergun” Israel – Noa Kirel, “Unicorn” Moldova – Pasha Parfeni, “Soarele şi Luna” Sweden – Loreen, “Tattoo” Azerbaijan – TuralTuranX, “Tell Me More” Czech Republic – Vesna, “My Sister´ s Crown” Netherlands – Mia Nicolai & Dion Cooper, “Burning Daylight” Finland – Käärijä, “Cha Cha Cha” Semifinal 2 Denmark – Reiley, “Breaking My Heart” Armenia – Brunette, “Future Lover” Romania – Theodor Andrei, “DGT (Off and On” Estonia – Alika, “Bridges” Belgium – Gustaph, “Because Of You” Cyprus – Andrew Lambrou, “Break A Broken Heart” Iceland – Diljá, “Power” Greece – Victor Vernicos, “What They Say” Poland – Blanka, “Solo” Slovenia – Joker Out, “Carpe Diem” Georgia – Iru, “Echo” San Marino – Piqued Jacks, “Like An Animal” Austria – Teya & Salena, “Who The Hell Is Edgar” Albania – Albina & Familja Kelmendi, “Duje” Lithuania – Monika Linkytè, “Stay” Australia – Voyager, “Promise” Alessandra in the top 10 On Tuesday, Norway, represented by Alessandra, will open the ball. The odds are currently in her favour. At the time of writing, she is in sixth place in the ranking of EurovisionWorld, which has collected the odds on Eurovision from various betting companies. The Swedish Loreen, on the other hand, is the odds favourite, and stands to win a full eleven years after she last took part in the competition. That time she went to the top with the song “Euphoria”. – Basically, I don’t see the other artists as competitors, as we have a lot of fun together. But Loreen is probably my strongest competitor in Eurovision, admits Alessandra. Alessandra during the second test before the first semi-final on Tuesday.
