Jamala’s recent interview where she talks about her win, bookies, pressure. Russia, Lazarev, money spent on Eurovision etc.
Erdogan really called her. She was very moved. Didn’t expect that. TV presenter and Jamala laugh (when talk about Russia) that only thing Russians didn’t do yet - is voodoo doll of Jamala. "Maybe they did?!" - laughs Jamala.
Says they stood next to each other with Lazarev before artists were coming on stage in the beginning of the final. He wished her luck, she wished him luck. She imagined how much pressure he was getting from his country. For them, "russian delegation", was even hard to say "Hi" at the end. Pressure on everyone was too big. But she always smiled and said "Hi" when they were bumping at each other. She was getting pressure too. Everyone at home wanted her to win or at least not be lower then Russia.
Basically it was hard for everyone.
They (Jamala and her team) spent around 100 000 euros on Eurovision. It was worth it.
Televoting still proved that Russia is not perceived as an enemy by the majority of Middle and Eastern European countries. So, for me, Russia (= Putin) is the one who's laughing the last (= the sweatest).
So many classy and beautiful songs... jazz, soul, blues, folk, all combined into one peculiar style! And her unique and unmistakable voice... omg!! She's really among the best and classiest artists who ever graced the Eurovision stage...
