Our new guests here in 12points.gr will be Valentina Monetta and Jimmie Wilson from San Marino. We just  tried to ask Valentina which her favourite song would be out of the four including those from the past of course. Jimmie however interrupts us reversing the question regarding his first time in the contest  that we should ask about...Valentina claims that she cannot answer that question and all songs are just one inside her. She goes on singing a couple of her songs in one  making fun out of it. Jimmie informs us that his collabotation with Valentina was introduced within the Esc but it will go on in the future with more concerts and recordings. Jimmie notices that his experience with the Eurovision Song Contest is amazing and that as an American he has not seen something like that before apart from a talent show in Poland. Finally just in case San Marino wins - much to Valentina's wish -  apart from her backyard as Jimmie argues, she thinks that the whole country within its borders could be used as an arena since it offers the same size apparently!!!

   We are glad  having here our next guest, Mr Jacques Houdek, the Croatian representative in this contest. Our first question is whether he was always a Eurovision fan...He replied by singing "Hold me now" the winning 1987 song by Johny Logan... This is when he fell in love with Eurovision is at the age of five and he has been a fan ever since. We continue our talk by asking him about his first impression about the contest and the stage. He told us how privileged as well as honoured he felt by doing his first rehearsal on stage. Although as he said he feels scared a bit, all of his emotions are mixed but good ones."It's amazing being able to represent Croatia on stage". He reminded us that he has tried five times in the past and in 2011 he ended up 2nd with his entry becoming a big hit. His fate though as he noticed was to take part at this year's contest though...Finally we could not avoid asking whether he feels more of a singer or an opera tenor! He stressed the fact that he started his career as a classical tenor and how much he loved the whole thing. At the same time though he used to listen to pop singers so his heart was taking him to more popular music. Classical music as he said always stays at the back of his mind but this time he's happy to do something different for this contest especially now that it fits in so well with the "Diversity" concept. For the end of our talk Jacques wished to say a big "thank you" in advance for any votes that may come from Greece. There is a lot of passion as he said in both countries along the same coastline.
