We are glad having here our next guest, Mr Jacques Houdek, the Croatian representative in this contest. Our first question is whether he was always a Eurovision fan...He replied by singing "Hold me now" the winning 1987 song by Johny Logan... This is when he fell in love with Eurovision is at the age of five and he has been a fan ever since. We continue our talk by asking him about his first impression about the contest and the stage. He told us how privileged as well as honoured he felt by doing his first rehearsal on stage. Although as he said he feels scared a bit, all of his emotions are mixed but good ones."It's amazing being able to represent Croatia on stage". He reminded us that he has tried five times in the past and in 2011 he ended up 2nd with his entry becoming a big hit. His fate though as he noticed was to take part at this year's contest though...Finally we could not avoid asking whether he feels more of a singer or an opera tenor! He stressed the fact that he started his career as a classical tenor and how much he loved the whole thing. At the same time though he used to listen to pop singers so his heart was taking him to more popular music. Classical music as he said always stays at the back of his mind but this time he's happy to do something different for this contest especially now that it fits in so well with the "Diversity" concept. For the end of our talk Jacques wished to say a big "thank you" in advance for any votes that may come from Greece. There is a lot of passion as he said in both countries along the same coastline.
