Yesssss! 😀
They were very underrated last year but I understand that the song was too serious for a kid contest. I just thought that the juries would love it and I was disappointed to see that they didn’t.
Anyway, I hope they will send something as good as last year (or even better, why not?) 🙂
Let’s find out! 😉
Still waiting for the following [countries] to confirm participation:
