@14:00 Elnur’s stage team consists of two dancers Lukas McFarlane from Canada, the winner of UK’s So You Think You Can Dance, and Julia Spiesser from France, directed by choreographer Ambra Succi, experienced in staging Eurovision acts. Through their “wolfish” contemporary movements, the dancers tell the mystical story. All the choreography and stage colours are well-though-out underlining Elnur’s powerful voice.

@14:45 Iceland is famous for its volcanoes, geysers and sagas, but also for great music musicians. Even though she is taking »one step at a time«, Maria Olafs already has a promising career. "I'm so excited. Can hardly wait to perform on the stage«, Maria told Eurovision.tv, right after she got out of dressing room wearing a pink fluffy dress, which makes her look like a little fairy.
