Andorra: nice girl!
Marta Roure seems to be a friendly person! After the first rehearsal of this brand new Eurovision Song Contest participant, which went pretty okay, Marta took enough time to take some pictures with her fans.

Portugal: to final or not to final?

On the contrary, others said that Foi magia sounds much more powerfull on stage compared with the CD version. During the press conference we took some pictures of Sofia!
