Kristall introduces her backing dancers and vocalists who are Kirill, Dasha, Lena and Ram. It happens that Kirill celebrates his birthday today and Kristall had prepared special present for him. They speak about song Europe, it's message that everyone should stay himself, not trying to copy anyone else, and then you will become first and the strongest. From Eurovision she expects to get a lot of new friends and represent Ukraine on a good level. They feel they are totally ready for the contest.

No press is the final word here, not even camera crews of the participating broadcasters. The exclusive coverage will be done by official site of the contest. They also hope to present view of the stage later today.
We will cover departure of delegations to the party, so stay tuned for that, we've heard some of them have prepared really special outfits.

All Junior Eurovision 2011 contestants are now here in Yerevan, and thus we round-up our coverage of arrivals of delegations.

Moving on, we've caught up with Swedish entrant Erik Rapp, who revealed some information on his staging!

Katya says that her flight was really well, landing was good. She wants to represent her country on a good level and find a new friends.
She also says hello to her father who stayed at home and certainly will be watching our video.

Quite contradicting information comes on arrival of Dima Bilan who promised to support Katya Ryabova. According to some sources he will arrive on Friday or Saturday, on other sources, he had rejected the proposal last week. Anyway, you can see article on Dima and Katya in the new issue of Hello magazine.

It goes in Russia, English, Armenia and Japanese languages :)

Translation of Russian part: Our song is very childish, it is easy to remember by anyone, funny, sweet, dance. Now they are getting prepared for the welcome party, and are worried before their first performance here in Yerevan.
Translation of Armenian part: We want to perform in such was, so that Georgia is proud of us.
No Japanese translator was available at the moment.
And, by the way, Candy brought 7 versions of outfits - new one per every day of the week.

blame organizers, a third mistake in the schedule we've been provided, so Sweden had arrived this night before Belarus, and hopefully we will see them a bit later. We're waiting for Georgia now who will arrive on train.
