This evening’s Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest will feature a performance by a renowned artist.
The identity of the performer is closely guarded by the event organizers, who are conducting rehearsals in a confined set in Liverpool, United Kingdom.
There have been events that have rendered the set completely off-limits, so no one has been permitted to enter. So, what is happening there? No one will inform us, I assure you.”
“There are some secrets.”
It is known that the Ukrainian victors from last year, Kalush Orchestra, will begin the evening with their song Stefania. In addition to Jamaal, other Ukrainian performers include Tina Karol and Verka Seduchka.
Sonia, who placed second for the United Kingdom in the 1990s, will join other Eurovision performers for a rendition of the “Liverpool Songbook,” which will include an impassioned rendition of the city’s anthem “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”
The global audience for tonight’s Grand Final is expected to surpass the 160 million who watched it last year. Sweden’s Loreen, who previously won in 2014, is the odds-on favorite, but Ukraine hopes to achieve a historic double of two consecutive victories, not accomplished since Ireland in the 1990s.
