8. Medium shot Kaleen meeting Gåte
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Kaleen, Eurovision Song Contest 2024 – Austria:
"For me the moment on stage is more important than the ceremony afterwards. It always was. Also when I was in dancing competitions. When I got off stage and I’m happy and I’m proud of myself. I always told my mom, well, we can actually go now, right? We don’t have to wait for for a trophy or whatever. So that’s my biggest goal, to just walk off that stage and feel like I have made myself proud. I’ve done the best that I can."

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Bambie Thug, Eurovision Song Contest 2024 – Ireland:
"I mean, it’s a massive show. Like, I don’t feel like anyone’s really competing. Feel like it’s a lovely family, lovely people. But Ireland should win. Really. We should. If you’re being serious."
12. Medium shot LUNA being interviewed
13. SOUNDBITE (English) LUNA, Eurovision Song Contest 2024 – Poland:
"I don’t want to, like, treat Eurovision as a competition. I feel that Eurovision is more like a huge community. It’s like a wonderful opportunity to connect with other people, to meet other wonderful artists. And we’re not, like, really competing with each other. It’s all like we’re really together in that. And you don’t feel that competitiveness."
14. Close up Marcus & Martinus
14. SOUNDBITE (English) Marcus & Martinus, Eurovision Song Contest 2024 – Sweden:
"Very competitive. We compete about everything. Everything. But, you know, if we don’t win Eurovision, it’s OK, it’s been amazing."
Martinus:"I’m going to cry. I’m going to cry."
Marcus: "It’s been an amazing journey. But of course we’re going to do our best. And hopefully the people will give their votes to us. We will be very happy and we would appreciate it a lot."
15. Wide shot Tali
16. SOUNDBITE (English) Tali, Eurovision Song Contest 2024 – Luxembourg:
"Not at all. Which maybe I should be a bit. I feel like I’m very let’s all hug each other and be a family. Like in the Luxembourg song contest we we’re like a small family. And they came over to my house last week, so hoping to have that energy. But I’m just very, very social, so I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing."
17. SOUNDBITE (English) Sarah Bonnici, Eurovision Song Contest 2024 – Malta:
"It is a competition in this case. But I like to try to focus on myself and my performance and focus on giving the best possible performance. And I seek happiness from that, actually, that I give a good performance."
18. Medium shot Windows95Man
19. SOUNDBITE (English) Windows95Man, Eurovision Song Contest 2024 – Finland:
Windows95Man: "I feel like, more kind of, I start to feel dirty if I take this as a competition. So I like to think, like, really like when we met with all the all the Eurovision artists, I think it was just really like you didn’t feel the competing feeling at all, so."
