Mika and Nadineshared with each other their first impressions of rehearsals and of theatmosphere at the Contest in general.
“We like talking to each other as we are both singers andalmost of the same age. We both have experience on stage, interesting storiesabout show-biz, personal opinion about every song. It’s nice to realize that amongmany contestants there are people which I made friends with. When we meet insidethe walls of Esprit Arena or at the parties, we enjoy it very much and shareour opinions on what is going on. This is also some kind of countenance. Inaddition, 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 Amsterdamduring the Eurovision in Concert party.After that, Mika invited me to perform at her farewell party in Kyiv. I am soglad that we will see each other many more times here in Dusseldorf. And Ithink our friendship will last even after the Eurovision. I love Mika’s song. Iam sure many Austrians will vote for her and she will make it to the final. Inany case, I will be keeping fingers crossed for her. I am also impressed by KseniyaSimonova and her sand animation show. It’s a great idea, very new and unusual!”
Both singers will perform in the second semi-final butthis doesn’t affect their friendship in any way. Nadine has already invitedMika Newton to join her in watching the first semi-final which will take placeon May 10th.
Beside this, during the first rehearsal Mika andNadine have already revealed their stage costumes. During her performanceNadine will be sparkling in a specially made little black dress with attachedSwarowski crystals (4 mm to 2 cm). The Austrian singer will sing her ballad The Secret is Love on a japannedpedestal which reminds a polished crystal. The pedestal itself is decoratedwith 3mln Swarowski stones. The microphone of Nadine will be placed in aspecial case also decorated with the crystals of the famous Austrian brand.
Mika Newton’s dress is designed by the popularUkrainian couturiere Olga Navrotska and was inspired by the latest fashiontrends. It is made of the superfine ivory chiffon and absolutely keeps stepwith one of this season’s trends – new interpretation of neutral colors. The dresscame out totally beautiful and different due to the expert use of decorativedetails and textures. The same tendencies we can observe in the latestcollections from DKNY, Chloe and Nina Ricci. Olga Navrotska also took intoconsideration another fashion hit – glitz and pomp: Mika will wear a featherbolero above her dress. These feathers were ordered by Olga in New York in thecompany which makes wings for the fashion shows of Victoria’s Secret.
