She won the competition and will represent Norway in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool.

In an interview with Eurovision Fun, Alessandra revealed that she is bisexual and that her song "Queen of Kings" reflects her experiences as a bisexual woman.

The song received the highest number of streams during the national final and has already gone viral on popular platforms like TikTok and Spotify. Its popularity has even earned it airtime on international radio stations.
