Škrube flew in from Los Angeles for the occasion. “Me and Anže are currently working on my choreography so that I can be relaxed and confident on stage – and full of energy,” said ManuElla. Her rehearsals are mostly focusing on her facial expressions and eye movements.

Slovenia’s entrant last week wrapped up her promotional tour which saw her hit the stage in Amsterdam and Tel Aviv. In the Dutch capital, she performed at the Eurovision in Concert event. In Israel, she guested at the Israel Calling concert.

“It was great in Amsterdam and Tel Aviv, but the visits were very short and work-related. I’m glad I met the contestants from the other countries. I got a feel for how things will go down in Stockholm, and that was a really great experience,” said ManuElla. In both Israel and the Netherlands, she gave a number of interviews and performed her Eurovision entry, “Blue and Red”.
