Ok, I’m always very meticulous for entries from my country and Alyosha was fresh new singer then (that is the thing I hate the almost at ESC - ok that that’s a young singers song contest, but that doesn’t mean that they must be not known at all). I didn’t like her, her outfit, her manners and the most the song at the Nationals BUT at the first time I saw her on stage in Oslo that was like WOW. She was standing all alone at stage - she did not need any back singers or dancers, only her and her amazingly strong voice - the way she worked then, she didn’t work even 50% of that at Nationals. Amazing talented girl!
