I am so happy CROATIA has returned
I did meet DEEN in 2004, but not sure if I will recognize him now?
I thought I read that Bulgaria won’t be participating due to financial reasons??
Anyway, really excited to see Kaliopi in Stockholm!!! I expect to feel chills running up and down my spine with her amazing voice!
