“I am so happy to be part of Eurovision again. But now that I’ve finished the first rehearsal, so much weight has fallen off my shoulders. We were smiling all the time and finally we can enjoy the results of our hard work.”

Norway will participate in the Second Semi-Final on Thursday, the 10th of May.

Like already comment Watching Your 1º Reahersel, the following Press-Conference and Knowing that Your Music was or is Placed in 2º Place on the Odds Was MY BEST ANNIVERSARY PRESENT!!!

You’re Brilliant, as Always, Singing and Playing Yours SO FAVOURITE VIOLIN with Your Elements Team, during the 1º Reahersel, and at the Press-Conference Being So Warmhearted by Answering and Hanging Some people, like a Fan of Yours!!!! Although I’ve to say How ASHAMED OF THE JOURNALIST FROM RTP…Portugal and/or RTP Deserve a NOBEL PRICE OF FAILURE!!!! Among several things, You Had to Ask for Water!?! DA…Didn’t they know How To Host a Eurovision Contestant!?!?! Then the Bottle instead of Being Delivered Kindly to You, is THROWN IN THE AIR!?! What Were They Think Of!?!?! Adding that ‘Famous Question’ that NO ONE KNEW THE RIGHT WAY TO EXPLAIN YOU, ESPECIALLY THE JOURNALIST FROM RTP AND YOU SO HUMBLE EVEN SAID THAT THE FAULT WAS YOURS FOR THE PRESS-CONFERENCE ENDED SO SOON!!! Think that, now, You already Know and Comprehend the ‘FAMOUS QUESTION’…if not here is my explanation: YOU+VIOLIN= FUSE/MERGE IN ONE!!!!

PLEASE, FORGIVE ME, But I’m a Sincere, Honest, Genuine and Direct Person…Because I KNOW HOW YOU HATE EURO FANS AND YOUR FANS SAYING BAD THINGS BUT IS THE REALITY OF WHAT HAPPENED!!!!! HOPE THAT ALL THIS DOESN’T HAPPENS AGAIN Not Only With You, but Also with the Other Contestants at Eurovision 2018 because WAS AN ENORMOUS LACK OF RESPECT TOWARDS YOU!!!!!

Like I read and Total Agree with a Comment of one Fan of Yours, Relative to YOUR JAMS: “Alexander Rybak with his violin turns each music so Amazingly Wonderful”!!!! Adding, like many euro fans and think also Rybak Fans mention and I, once again, Completly Agree because Laugh So Much when saw before you turn your backs to the camera, You’re always So Funny and So Hilarious with the String Bag of the Singer of Czech Republic, Ha, Ha, Ha!!!!

Wish You THE BEST LUCK AND THAT YOU WIN AGAIN EUROVISION 2018!!!!!

Best Regards,

Carla
