Marie Claire: ‘I want my staging to be very intimate’
As the Malta Eurovision Song Contest quarter-finals are coming to the results stage soon, we had a great pleasure to chat with the participants of this year’s edition of Malta’s national selection. Marie Claire is a second-time entrant to this competition, but first time as a lead artist, and she presented her song “Thankful” back in the second quarter-final.
We spoke to Marie Claire about the song “Thankful”, the person this song is dedicated to, her outfit from the quarter-finals, the preparations for the semi final show, upcoming projects, as well as her personal favorite Eurovision songs. Check out all of that, and more, in this interview right here below:
