CHIARA’S INTERVIEW AT EUROFEST

CHIARA’S INTERVIEW AT EUROFEST

If you’re a fan of Eurovision then we really don’t need to introduce Malta’s Chiara Siracusa. One of the most successful Eurovision contestants ever, she came third in 1998 (losing to Dana International) and second in 2005 (finishing behind Helena Paparizou). When she returned in 2009 fans went crazy. Not even her 22nd-place finish could dampen their love for this diva from the Med.

So when she went to the UK in July to perform at Eurofest — London’s hottest Eurovision club night — and gave an interview. She talked about everything from her album LOLZ to her experience almost winning to her edgy (and very pink) hair. You can watch the full interview below.

On her wild hair style and edgy look

“I’ve always been this kind of person, but for Eurovision they always try to tone you down. This is the real me. This is how I feel comfortable.”

On her snub from Macedonia

In her three appearances at Eurovision, FYR Macedonia has never awarded her any points. “I’ve finally accepted that I’m not their kind of music,” she says.

On losing to Dana International

“For me it was very disappointing. I remember before the last votes, Kevin Bishop [a producer] from the BBC came up to me and said take off your tag because you’re going to sing again. Then all of a sudden the cameras turned to Israel and she won…I remember going to my dressing room and crying and not wanting to see anyone.”
