‘For me, everything is a stage’
When asked about returning to the Vidbir stage, Mélovin mentioned how happy he is to just perform for a live audience once again:
For me, everything is a stage. Not the Eurovision stage, the National selection, but just the stage. Here I can perform, show my song, delight the audience, perhaps even those who have never seen me

Following this, Mélovin was asked if he is worried about their vocals on the night of the competition.
KAZKA’s last performances were incredibly cool. I know that she was perfecting her vocals, it’s cool that a person works on herself.

It is very interesting what will be on the show.
Mélovin was also asked about his thoughts on MARUV replacing TAYANNA in the competition.
I do not really see MARUV on the Eurovision scene. Because there are very few vocals, this is more a project for which you want to have a good time somewhere in the club, at a party.
