GLIWICE, 21 November (BelTA) – Liza Misnikova, Belarus' contestant at the Eurovision Song Contest 2019, views the song contest as a big adventure. She shared her impressions of the competition with a BelTA journalist.
“The Junior Eurovision contest has a special vibe. It is a huge adventure for me and I will cherish memories about it my entire life. I am enjoying every moment,” Liza Misnikova said.
The young singer feels comfortable on the main stage of the music contest - Arena Gliwice. “I was a bit nervous during the first rehearsal, but I became much more confident at the second one. I feel comfortable on stage, because it is magical. It is hard to guess preferences of the European audience. Therefore, what we will do is to perform at our best. I am sure we will be able to do it,” Liza Misnikova said.
The first set of delegations took to the stage of Gliwice Arena for their second rehearsal on 21 November. Liza Misnikova was among them. During this rehearsal organizers will select a clip of each performance that will be used for recap in the online voting. Liza Misnikova's postcard was shot in Gliwice the other day.
