Eurovision is back! Stars stunned with glamorous gowns on turquoise carpet in Turin

Eurovision Song Contest 2022 kicked off with stars on the turquoise carpet for a star-studded photo shoot in Turin on Monday, ahead of the highly anticipated live finale on Saturday.

Amanda, who will represent Greece elsewhere with her song Die Together, opted for an elegant strapless fuchsia pink dress with a ruffled skirt.

Sam admitted on Monday that he wasn’t focused on winning the match and that his “personal goal” was just to get on stage and sing.

My newspaper said: ‘My personal goal here is to sing with the same intent that I always say, and then walk away with the happiness it gives me.

“To strategize it and keep the happiness it gives me depends on where I’m going on the leaderboard, it’s something I really don’t want to deal with.”

Last year the United Kingdom was last in the standings after James Newman’s entry scored zero points, while Michael Rice Us Bigger Than Us’ 2019 entry also saw England finish last, although Sam had previously “stamped” defeat to join the fun. He insisted that he would not interfere. .

I love ‘Eurovision’. I think it is a great privilege to be able to do this. I don’t want the stigma or fear that sitting at the table in a certain place will keep me from doing something and being a part of something I love very much,” she added.

At this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, Graham Norton will once again comment to BBC audiences on Saturday’s final, while Rylan Clark and Scott Mills will report on the semi-finals on BBC Three, which will air on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
