The Netherlands Joan Franka: I am very proud of to represent country in Baku
Baku, May 15 (AZERTAC). “I am very proud of to represent country in Baku.” said the Netherlands` representative Joan Franka at the press conference in Baku Crystal Hall.
Joan came into her press conference wearing a single feather in her hair and was applauded by the waiting press and fans, waiting eagerly to hear what she had to say.
The room was quite full for Joan who has stirred up a lot of discussion about her unorthodox act.
"i think the 60s will return and that the clothes and fashion and music are still popular". she added.
Joan told the story of her song, which is about her first childhood love saying "it is a very fond memory". She also said that she has contact with the boy in question.
She was asked by one journalist about the changes to her performance from the national final saying, "I like to change things". She also talked about the feather she was wearing and said, "I wear a feather almost every day as it means a lot to me and symbolises me being free".
The delegation said they were impressed by the stage and the lighting and there are a few things they want to adjust such as the fire effects and Joan not standing so close as it is very hot on stage!
At the age of 22, Joan Franka will represent the Netherlands in Baku with the song You And Me. She is a gifted singer/songwriter and a taletned poet who has a story to tell through her song.
