Slovenia opened their press conference with an improvised concert ‘for violin and cello’. The Slovenians presented a fragment from their song that features classical and pop tunes while Martina Maerle sang a few of 20 words that make up the lyrics.Martina is a real Eurovision cosmopolitan: this is her fourth contest, and although in previous years she was back singer and now she will take center stage. Martina said: “Now I have new opportunities for my solo career. It is not difficult to be a back singer, but a lead singer is always in the spotlight and carries great responsibility. At the same time lead singers have more creative freedom in what they do” listen.
The press wondered about how the musicians managed to use violin and cello to play difficult tunes while moving on stage so fast. “It’s all about practice, it’s something we got used to”, was the answer.
When asked whether they think that violin could help them win the contest, the way Edwin Marton helped Dima Bilan to win last year’s competition, the violinist said: “We are sure that it will also work this time”.
