MIKA NEWTON AND NADINE BEILER MADE TRUE FRIENDS
5 May 2011, DUSSELDORF. The Ukrainian entry to Eurovision 2011 Mika Newton has already made friends with many participants of this year’s contest. But her closest friend in Dusseldorf became Nadine Beiler, who is representing Austria. Yesterday the two girls met in Euroclub to hang out and to chill after their hectic working days. Mika and Nadine shared with each other their first impressions of rehearsals and of the atmosphere at the Contest in general.
“We like talking to each other as we are both singers and almost of the same age. We both have experience on stage, interesting stories about show-biz, personal opinion about every song. It’s nice to realize that among many contestants there are people which I made friends with. When we meet inside the walls of Esprit Arena or at the parties, we enjoy it very much and share our opinions on what is going on. This is also some kind of countenance. In addition, Nadine is such an adorable lady!” - Mika says.
Nadine Beiler: “Mika and I indeed became true friends. We met for the first time in Austria. Our next meeting happened in Amsterdam during the Eurovision in Concert party. After that, Mika invited me to perform at her farewell party in Kyiv. I am so glad that we will see each other many more times here in Dusseldorf. And I think our friendship will last even after the Eurovision. I love Mika’s song. I am sure many Austrians will vote for her and she will make it to the final. In any case, I will be keeping fingers crossed for her. I am also impressed by Kseniya Simonova and her sand animation show. It’s a great idea, very new and unusual!”
Both singers will perform in the second semi-final but this doesn’t affect their friendship in any way. Nadine has already invited Mika Newton to join her in watching the first semi-final which will take place on May 10th.
Beside this, during the first rehearsal Mika and Nadine have already revealed their stage costumes. During her performance Nadine will be sparkling in a specially made little black dress with attached Swarowski crystals (4 mm to 2 cm). The Austrian singer will sing her ballad The Secret is Love on a japanned pedestal which reminds a polished crystal. The pedestal itself is decorated with 3mln Swarowski stones. The microphone of Nadine will be placed in a special case also decorated with the crystals of the famous Austrian brand.
