ESC star Malik Harris completely at the end before the finale: "I only work"
Musician Malik Harris started for Germany.
With his song "Rockstars" he wanted to convince the jury and the ESC fans (The ESC final in the live ticker).
IPPEN.MEDIA reporter Mario Hanousek was on site in Turin and met the 24-year-old before his performance and spoke to him.
At this point, the nervousness increased and the performance on the ESC stage was getting closer and closer.
"I'm just functioning, I'm just living from hour to hour because every day is so packed.
It's been like this for a few weeks.
Every day from eight o'clock in the morning until one o'clock at night, here in Turin it's usually even three o'clock at night.
But I want to experience this hustle and bustle again after Corona.
Sometimes a little more sleep would be cool," said the 24-year-old in an interview.

A big disappointment for ESC fans.
"I'm really so incredibly sorry for Malik right now.
It was clear to me that he wouldn't win - but 0 points from this ridiculous jury really doesn't have to be and he absolutely didn't deserve it,"
tweeted a user on the social media platform Twitter.
"The juries were obviously not impressed by Germany," said another ESC fan.
