Ok, thanks for your feedback. What language did she sing in at the end then?
Did she manage to include her Portuguese words?
i'm hearing "obrigada não"????????

Albania Superstar
It feels like a mistake to count this out of the final after that performance.

Finally!She's so on point vocally! What's the language at the end? Is it Hebrew? I feel like she just included that for the occasion.
She says at the end TODA, LO (thanx, no) in Hebrew. However, the "Hebrew version" sounds strange to me, as Hvala has the stress on the first syllable, and TODA in Hebrew has the second syllable stressed. So, thanx, but no. She should stick to Slovene or Portuguese version
On the other hand, Predjama castle looks astonishing from the outside, but unfortunately, like 99% of our castles, it is rather empty in its inside, cuz all our castles were either "emptied" by their last German/Italian/Austrian owners when they ran from here, or they were sacked by invadors during WW2. One of the rare exceptions is the Ptuj castle, which has superb collections and some fine original inventories.

If you are looking for places to visit and what to see, I suggest you to visit the website of Slovenian Tourist Board. They have a splendid webpage, great pics, and tourist offer in Slovenia. However, keep in mind that the website largely advertises only the Western parts of Slovenia, which are crowded with tourists, whereas the Eastern parts are usually overlooked and poorly visited, though there are some tourist pearls too. In my opinion, I would suggest you to do a lot of outdoor tourism, I think Slovenia is really clean and green, and there are numerous opportunities to do sports indoor and outdoor, hiking, cycling, mountain biking, you can still ski in Krvavec as they still have a lot of snow. Oh, and don't forget to taste potica (for non-Slovene speakers, please, read it as "poteetsa"). Even the Pope was asking Melania Trump if she was feeding Trump with it
Finally, if you visit Bled, you have to eat/try also the "kremschnitt", a vanilla desert. Gush, that is really tasty and worth of getting fat

Her official version on the ESC Youtube channel is her live performance from the National Preselection. That video clip is not a studio version. If you watched our EMA live, you saw this clip. I am slowly starting to realize that many people thought/think that her YT clip was/is a studio version.

As I posted two weeks ago, I talked with Lea Sirk personally over her FB account. And no, I don't know her and we are not friends. But I sent her a question about the lyrics (and I was not expecting any answer), but she replied to me (to my surprise) and said she would not change anything at all, though she and her team considered various options how to "improve" the song. Finally they have decided not to change anything in regard to the lyrics. I guess she changed the final HVALA NE to TODA LO for this particular occasions, and that's it.

According to the list of acts published by Wiwibloggs, it seems like Lea will perform in Amsterdam
And if you watched her interview for ESCCAZ, then you would hear that she will perform also in Barcelona.

Tinkara Kovač (2014) "Round and Round" - she was proclaimed the best back-up vocalist that year along with Nika Zorjan and Manca Špik.
Maraaya (2015) "Here for you" - she was pregnant, last months of her pregnancy.

already standing out
I must correct myself. In Wiwiblogg's interview, Lea says she was a backing singer to Mozarella (Blue and Red) in Stockholm 2016, and not to Maraaya. Ooops, my bad. Sorry.
no worries! i'll see the performance later
this interview
she is slowly getting into my top three favorite entries at eurovision overall. too bad i won't be coming to lisbon the disadvantages of not being europeanHere's LQ video of Lea performing during Eurovision In Concert. Hopefully, we'll get a better one soon because the end is missing. :?
And another great performance! She gives the song so much character live, her energy is infectious. One can hear some people sing with her, that's cool And her outfit was classy sexy: very fitting imo!

I'm posivitively surprised by how well the song seems to be received by the audience too, compared to the ridiculous odds it has at the moment. I still believe "Hvala, Ne!" can surprise big time in the contest.
