| Istanbul by night - a feast for the eyes!
|
| You will find many antique relics from ancient cultures here in Istanbul.
|
| The wild Ruslana with the even wilder horse - here as a caricature.
|
| Ruslana is celebrating herself. The press conference was more fun than seriousness.
|
| One of the greatest national stars this year is Sakis from Greece. In his home country he is a living icon and a sex symbol and he has pretty good chances.
|
| Probably the most beautiful female singer of this year: Sofia from Portugal!
|
| The Portuguese delegation convinced their singing talent.
|
| Lisa sing for Cyprus and enjoys the quieter time before the live-transmission.
|
| A very sexy choreography by Sarkis from Greece offers more than you expect!
|
| Marta from Andorra at the photo-shooting-wall.
|
| The quite wild, a little bit crazy Ukrainian singer Ruslana promotes Deen from Bosnia. She shouldn't be scared to do this favour for her competitor.
|
| The loveliest stage appearance has been choosen for Malta with green meadows, flowers and flying butterflies. This contribution should not be underestimated!
|
| David D'Or has impressed everybody with his incredible counter-tenor voice.
|
| Fomins & Klein from Latvia have been proven as multilingual and sung their song in Dutch for us!
|
| The German composer Ralh Siegel is back, but this time for Malta as a producer - he wrote Germany's first winning song in 1982 "Ein bisschen Frieden" sung by Nicole.
|
| The Swiss on the slightly visited press conference.
|
| The Lativans on the impressive stage with a strong performance.
|
| Alexandra & Konstantin from Belarus received their caricature - it's a nice memory of Istanbul.
|
| The arena is still empty - on the top there are all the commentator-boxes.
|
| The rehearsal of Belarus went a bit unhappily - there has been an accident with one of the band, who had to be brought into the hospital.
|
| Jari from Finland with his caricature - a quite happy press conference.
|
| The background dancers from Finland can do far more than just Tango! For eurovisionlive.com they offered a special show!
