Malene W. Mortensen – from 'Star for a Night' to star for a week? At a reception on Monday evening, Tallinn's new Danish queen greeted an oceans of fans – and made a most positive impact on them.
The interest in Danish entrant Malene W. Mortensen and her song 'Tell me who you are' increases more and more – especially since yesterday's press conference.
An ESC fan – fighting an idealistic but impossible to win war to bring back the native language rule – openly criticized Denmark for not singing in Danish, whereafter Malene politely invited him up to the podium to sing a song for her in Danish. The fan declined the invitation – and then remained silent.
Last night, Malene W. Mortensen had her first rehearsal and entered the stage in one of her two costumes.
Malene and the rest of the delegation have yet not decided which of the two she is going to wear.
After the third rehersal it really seems as though Malene has made herself at home on the stage, which for the record takes up one third of the floor area in Saku Suurhall.
The only problem are the acoustics within the hall. It was primarily built to host sporting events and therefore emphasize the audience's cheers and pep shouts, but this now means that the ending of her song does not sound too well inside the hall; Malene's voice and those of the backing singers crash into each other.
ETV sound engineers say that this will not be noticed in the television transmission.
