“Perfect Life”, the German entry for the Eurovision Song Contest has had no changes to the instrumentation or lyrics during the revamp.
Levina revealed in an interview with Prinz Blog that “Perfect Life” during its revamp has only been cut back to 3 minutes. NDR had announced that the song would be undergoing a revamp ahead of the contest in Kyiv, however like the Italian entry in this years contest has only undergone changes to ensure it falls within the three minute rule.
Levina was chosen by the German public to represent her country in Kyiv in early February, and her rendition of “Perfect Life” prevailed in the superfinal over her other entry, “Wildfire”. The song received an impressive 69% of the votes. It remains to be seen whether the song will be found guilty of plagiarism, or what action would be taken in the event of this.
Levina is currently in the midst of a six nation promotional tour across Europe. She has already traveled to Georgia, the United Kingdom and Israel to promote her entry and will be travelling to the following three countries across Europe in the coming days:
- The Netherlands – Eurovision In Concert – April 9
- Slovenia – RTVSLO Vikend Paket – April 10
- FYR Macedonia – MRT “100% Eurovision Show” – April 19
