Tonight at 20.30 local time Marija Serifovic, this year's Eurovision Song Contest winner will be performing Molitva on the popular Dutch show Mooi! Weer De Leeuw. Earlier today Marija met with this year's Dutch participant Edsilia Rombley, the local press and hundreds of fans.

Marija started the day today at the Café Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam where she had various interviews with the local media and – weather permitting- an outdoors photo session. Afterwards she went to the Magna Plaza shopping center where hundreds of fans had gathered to meet her and Edsilia Rombley.

Edsilia kicked off the show by singing her Eurovision entry On top of the world to a cheering crowd before introducing Marija saying : " Marija's victory at the Eurovision Song Contest was well deserved". Marija went on to stun those present with a great performance of her winning song, Molitva, before sitting down with Edsilia to meet their fans in person and sign autographs.

At 20.30, local time Marija will be performing on Mooi! Weer De Leeuw. You may be able to watch the show online later on tonight or tomorrow here or here .

Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain.

I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
