Artist thoughts by Brussels Eurettefriend (Designed by Carolina Añazgo Leo):

“Say Cheese! I’m Brussels and my job is of course: making people smile in Eurovision makes me happy. I like to take photos of everything and everyfriend around me and I have a photographic memory, so I can remember who is who in Eurovision Land! Ready for a selfie? I do! With the other Eurofriends and beloved ones I put happiness in their faces.

I’m happy for Bianche. She made a lot since her appearance in a music reality show. But now, she’s ready to share smiles here and there with her song “City lights”. Many Eurofans are happy with her song, and I’m happy with her too! I’m sure she’ll bring my 2nd Belgian victory in Eurovision or top 5, what happens first, I’m smiling whatever happens during the Contest. My motto to my Eurostars: “Keep smiling in every situation, even in Eurovision” It always worth a million smiles!”- By Brussels Eurettefriend

Artist Announcement by Sydney Asiapacettefriend (Designed by Carolina Añazgo Leo):

“G’day everyfriend! I’m Sydney, but my Eurovision Land friends and family call me Syd and I love that nickname! My koala pet and I love to share Asian culture to each of the Eurofriends… Like singing k-pop and j-pop music, dancing to those Bollywood movie dances (those songs makes me move my feet) and watching anime with my friends (specially the long running ones including the one with the ninjas with lots of adventure, or that with the pirates who have powers that are looking for a treasure at the end of the Song Contest starring all veteran (and favourite) Japanese voice actors). And currently, I’m embracing the Eurovision culture, like dancing to the tune of a Nordic schlager, Balkan ballads and ethnic Greek music! My favourite part is when they say 12 points and i’m loving those words.

My country already found a place in everyfriend’s hearts across the Song Contest since my debut and that makes me happy. Last year, Dami Im gave best result yet… And I’m esc-cited to see my 3rd Eurostar. Maybe, the song will be a top hit that will make sure that will bring the 1st Aussie Esc victory! And I know that each of my friends that are in a Eurovision Event has to do something heroic for their country they represent! And that’s also true for me. Just like my favourite heroes(from my fave anime heroes, my eurostars Guy and Dami. And even my 2 big brothers London and Dublin Eurofriend)!”- By Sydney Asiapacettefriend

“I’m Lisbon eurofriend and it’s nice to help you and help others! I’m a friend who loves helping my friends to give a warm welcome to Eurofans around the Song Contest when they host Eurovision. And I’m esc-cited that i’m also returning to Eurovision this year. Isn’t that Esc-citing?

You know what? Along with my country returning to Esc, it’s also the return of Festival da Canção. It makes me happy in that sense that, I’m going to need extra hands… I mean extra help from everyfriend to find out the next Portuguese representative in Eurovision.

“What’s up, Everyfriend? I’m Bucharest and I’m the fun-shaped Eurofriend who loves to turn things funny and enjoyable for the Song Contest living it up my heartflag colours! That’s esc-xactly what I do for my friends and they’re fun to be with!

But, tonight, it’s time to have fun and find out who’ll be the Romanian Eurostar at the upcoming ESC in Kyiv.

Artist and Song Announcement by Tallinn Eurettefriend (Designed by Carolina Añazgo Leo):

“Hello, my sweeties! I’m Tallinn Eurettefriend and as you can see, I’m Eurovision Land’s expert in baking sweets… along with my love for sweets and sharing them with others. I’m always living with my own philosophy called “a little sweetness can solve the sourness of the situation!” and that’s truth for me, since I have a sweet vision for things around me and maybe, I can return to the Eurovision Final in Kyiv and reach top of the scoreboard and even a sweet victory!

And tonight is Eesti Laul. Is the most sweetest National final you’ll ever seen with your own eyes, and heard with your ears (In my opinion). So, I’m doing my best to add some sweetness to everyfriend around town. And while and my friends are enjoying the show, I made pies, cookies, cupcakes and lollipops to enjoy the show! Oh my Song Contest! Maybe the winner will have a sweet tune and I love that music with 12 point sprinkles on top!”- By Tallinn Eurettefriend

Artist thoughts (And Song Announcement) by Amsterdam Eurettefriend (Designed by Carolina Añazgo Leo):

“I’m Amsterdam Eurettefriend and I’m sharing my opinions of how my country chose O’G3NE as Eurostars. I love to talk about it all day… that I can even tell their lives connected to the Eurovision Events:
Where do I start? Oh, I can remember! Lisa, Amy and Shelley were my Eurostars in Junior Eurovision 10 years ago, they grew so fast! So fast as my love of doing videos for my videoblog and I’m always figure it out what topic should I make next (Like how Eurofriend fans should be called, or how some countries win by surprise).

Now that they’re returning to a Eurovision event, I’m making sure that my country can reach top 10 or be in the Esc final and do well! And speaking of the Song contest, many friends are choosing their Eurostars and speaking of how they feel about it! Right now, I’m feeling happy. And I can’t wait for my girls to sing again on stage and they’re ready to share the song with all of us via livestreaming. Do you agree with my country’s stars and song?”- By Amsterdam Eurettefriend

Artist thoughts from Nicosia Eurettefriend (Designed by Carolina Añazgo Leo):

“I’m Nicosia Eurettefriend and i love turning ideas into innovation and technology for the future! I always improve over and over to make sure those creative lightbulbs shine bright and see those positive results into action. I know people are brainstorming a new idea that can help the Song Contest Go Round each minute and I’m enlightening them to find success and make those gears work in the process!

And about Hovig! It was my idea to be the 1st friend to choose Eurostar for the upcoming Esc in Kyiv. He tried to participate twice in my national finals, but ended in 3rd and 4th place. But, now it’s time to this Cypriot singer to amaze and shine the lightbulb (a.k.a seeing Cyprus in the grand final for the 3rd time in a row). Have you checked his video? It’s friendmazing indeed!”- By Nicosia Eurettefriend
