After her victory, an emotional Kate Ryan did her winning song once again. To give the performance an extra touch, two of her backing vocals came from Sweden to sing the backing vocals of Je t'adore live, something which is not common at Eurosong in Belgium. “I am going to Athens and I will do some serious stuff there!”, she reacted.
