Sanja tells that she is still a little bit ill. She sounds better than at the first rehearsal, but she is still not fit as a fiddle. This might explain, why I thought she was singing: "Gonna take a miracle to save my song". Sanja asked the press, which suit they prefered her to wear. There was one vote for the white suit, and a big majority for the gold cat suit.

Gabriela confess, that the first time she heard "I stand", she got goosebumps. She was very happy with the song, and really wanted to represent her country with that song.

Probably the most visited press conference of today is Russia. Filip Kirkorov said that, what we saw on stage today, was only 50 % of the show. They still have things to fix. Sergey's brand are the wings, that we see in the grafics on stage. But he also has the wings as tatoos. He says with twinkle in his eyes, that he can fly. I guess he doesn't need to learn this from IVAN from Belarus.
