New interview:
http://www.stern.de/kultur/musik/eu...it-dem-schweden-schmusen-moechte-2189722.html

Translation (by Google):
Why Ann Sophie does not want to cuddle with Sweden
She will represent Germany at the ESC: The star interview reveals Ann Sophie, as she wants to score despite poor forecasts in Vienna and whether the Swedish participants is a guy for her.

Ann Sophie , you regret it already?
What?

Participate in the ESC.
Not at all. While it is becoming more and more stressful. But it is positive stress. I'm really looking forward to Vienna.

With bookmakers you are trading only on the 23th Place. What do you say to critics who say that this is nothing in Vienna.
The club have also said before the concert my people. For the ESC to sing is a huge opportunity for me, which I will use. And I experience the exact opposite. On Facebook and Instagram I get a lot of support from fans. That makes me happy.

But your contribution ESC "Black Smoke" is only moderately successful in the German charts.
When I "Black Smoke" heard for the first time, I immediately thought, wow, I want to sing the song. I think the mega, and I will show in Vienna. I love to be on stage. And no matter what place I do, I'm going to have fun and hope this note also the spectators.

Feel great pressure to perform well in Vienna?
Not at the moment. The closer it moves, the more real it is, and then, of course, also increases the pressure. But I feel hope of the people. A place among the top ten would be great.

The ESC is known for wind machines and pyrotechnics. How is your website?
This is clear not exactly. But I will not deliver blatant dance show, but want to concentrate on my song. In keeping with the principle that less is more.

We get to see the red suit again?
What to wear, even is not yet clear, but a red pantsuit it is definitely not. I could imagine something in the direction of "gentlewoman". But it also needs to adjust to the stage, yes. Let's wait. It is important that I feel comfortable.

Have you had time to listen to the songs of the competition?
All 40 tracks I do not know yet, but a few I've been listening to. There are many songs here, which I find very cool. I like Sweden, for example, quite well.

Sweden sends singer Måns Zelmerlöw. Would this be a guy for you?
Visually, yes. But there is always yes to the character, does not it? I do not know whether two artists work as well. Maybe I'm wrong but there also.

Speak from experience?
No, I'm single and cuddly currently only one: my boxer dog Ella.

Russia steps up with a world improve anthem in which it is about love and peace. How political is the ESC?
I think everything is political. That was always like that. I am trying not to make so much about them and think the idea is nice that Europe comes together to make music.

Located in the ESC-stress you have just recorded their first album "Silver Into Gold", which was published on Friday.
Yesss! Juhu! I am very happy that my baby is in stores and I am very curious to see how the album will arrive! I write my own songs that we have selected four of them. These are again, "Get Over Yourself", "Have You Ever", "I Think It's A Love Song" and "Silver Into Gold". This is of course great. Basically, the album is a good mix of pop, soul, rock and jazz - so there is something for everyone.

Is it true that you have also written a children's book?
Yes, via Hoppy the ladybug. He has lost all his points and then goes on a journey to rediscover it.

You said before the German national final, you would tremble the eggs. How nervous you are in front of Vienna?
I think then the eggs are only a peanut size.

Watching her several performances, I think that the dress and the hairdo that she had on the bavarian tv are the ones that suit her best.

But, regarding the staging, I think that the best option is to have the back vocalists on one side, and some spare musicians on the other side, like on NDR.

That's what former Austrian Eurovision participant Marianne Mendt said in an interview:

"I have watched the Austrian National Final and I have to say that all of our six finalists were not bad at all - unlike the German National Final which was a catastrophe and appalling by every standard. Horrible. I thought to myself: 'poor Germany. They have so many great artist but they most likely don't want to participate! On the other hand I was really proud of Austria - everything in our NF had quality and authenticity" :lol:

If I would know who this women is, I would probably feel insulted. Anyway I think it's not really a good move to post such an interview on an official site.

I suppose that she spoke out of rivalry between german-speaking countries, much like what happens between scandinavian countries.
I'm confident that Ann Sophie will get good points from Austria anyway. ;)

Of course she will (maybe 1 or 2) but that's not the point for me. I think it's just very uncool to post such an interview on an official site. :lol:

Everybody has the right to offer his/her own opinion. Sometimes to the amusement of others. :rolleyes:

The performance on "Schlag den Raab" was pretty damn cool imho! I imagine something like this for Vienna too - dark, mysterious and sexy. A bit like "taken by a stranger"! And her outfit tonight was amazing :cool:

So eager to watch the video. xyaay
I've found only a picture so far.

I think that the belt is a bit too big, but gold on black is a good choice.
And I reckon that she's probably going to wear a jumpsuit in Vienna and it's great because she looks wonderful in them. xcheer

Edit: Found two unrelated videos: one for ECUkraine and one for the austrian fans:




Edit2: found an old (1 year ago) performance of "Silver into gold". It differs from the version in the homonym album (the new one is much better IMHO), but she looks so sweet here. xlove



Edit3: found a schedule of her future tv appearances:
27.04.2015 - 16:10 Uhr - NDR - NDR Mein Nachmittag
03.05.2015 - 11:00 Uhr - ZDF - Fernsehgarten
08.05.2015 - 18:00 Uhr - NDR - Bettina & Bommes
08.05.2015 - 22:45 Uhr - Sat.1 - Luke! Die Woche und ich!
09.05.2015 - 20:15 Uhr - ARD - Verstehen Sie Spaß?
13.05.2015 - tba - ZDF - Markus Lanz
12.05.2015 - 18:45 Uhr - NDR - DAS!
