Eurovision Weekend 2014: Impressions from the Soundcheck

Now it's time to look back to the event, what happened on stage and what you have missed in Berlin..

It was the third edition from Eurovision Weekend, which took place between 18th and 20th of July. The weekend started with a 'Welcome Party' on Friday evening. Eurovision fans sang their Eurovision favorite songs together with this years first winner of the Berlin Song Contes, Lili Sommerfeld.

Well, we already can say that this evening was one of the hottest weekends this year. The Eurovision Weekend visitors had no idea how hot it will be in the evening at the event location 'Pfefferberg 13'.

The event was completely sold out!

“It was a wonderful experience to see so many Eurovision fans from
many European countries,” says organizer Frank Lochthove

Beginning of the Eurovision Gala on Saturday was the 'Fans sing for Fans Contest'. The level from the participants this year was very high and it was a very good atmosphere. At the end the international jury and the audience decided Christian Deussen as the winner. He performed his interpritation from this years Hungarian participant András Kállay-Saunders with the song 'Running'.

After the winners performance from Christian it was a shor break before Scott Fitzgerald from the UK entered the stage. Scott represented United Kingdom in 1988 with the song 'Run' and came second behind world selling artist Celine Dion.

Scott performed songs like:

'Power To All Our Friends'
'Congratulations'
his Eurovision entry 'Go'
and he surprised with the english version from first German winning act Nicole and her song 'Ein bisschen Frieden' (A Little Peace)

Before he sang 'A Little Peace' he surprised the audience with a personal video message from Nicole.

After a short break it was time for Lili Sommerfeld. Lili won this year the first 'Berlin Song Contest' with her song 'The War Is Over When We Dance'. She started with 'Can't Wait Until Tonight' (Max Mutzke represented Germany with this song in 2004 and reached 8th place). She also performed together with Nina Emerson the song 'Ther Must Be Another Way'. After that Lili performed her new song called 'Jerusalem'. Lili ended her performance with the BSC winning song 'The War Is Over When We Dance'. The audience danced together with her to her party song.

If people thought the evening couldn't be hotter, they thought wrong.. After another break for some cold drinks outside the venue it was time for this years main act. Any idea how could be?! YES, it was this years fan favorite SUZY from Portugal. She represented Portugal this year in Copenhagen with her party song 'Quero ser tua'. She only missed one point to qualify to the grand final - but we can say, she is one of this years 'Winners of the hearts'.

Suzy started her show with a surprise - she performed this years winning song 'Rise Like A Phoenix' from Conchita Wurst, which brought Austria the second victory after Udo Jürgens in 1966 with 'Merci Chérie'.

What a emotional opening. The audience sung together with her and for sure, everyone had unforgettable moments from a fantastic time in Copenhagen in mind..

After Suzy changed her dress it was time to have some party. She sung together with one of this years host, José, the German entry from 2003. Lou reached 12th place with 'Let's Get Happy'.

Suzy's performance also included:

Bem Bom
Lusitana paixao
Quédate commigo
a cover version from Pharrell Williams mega hit 'HAPPY'
and of course her Eurovision entry 'Quero ser tua'

From the begining the audience was screaming all the time SUZY.. SUZY.. SUZY.. Well, she was very touched by such a positive reaction from the audience. Everyone sung and danced with Suzy. As she performed first her Eurovision party song 'Quero ser tua' she steped down to the audience and danced and sang together with the people. After more than 40 minutes of power performance she left the stage. The crowd was screaming so loud that she had to come back - and she performed once again 'Quero ser tua'. For the BIG FINAL she invited the audience to join her on stage to sing and dance together with her...

Befor the official program came to an end it was time for the organizers to thank this years Eurovision acts and the hosts José (from Berlin Eurovision group) and Max from the OGAE UK.

Suzy, Scott and Lili spent some more hours outside with the international Eurovision fans from Germany, the UK, Norway, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Slovenia, Portugal, Ireland, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and some other European countries. Everyone was very relaxed and spent patiently time for some pictures and conversations.

The crowd continued the party in the basement till the early morning light...

We already had many ticket registrations even before we announced this year's performing artists, which shows that the event ist establishing itself as an important date in every fan calendar" said Frank Lochthove after the show.

"The Weekend was a complete success. The Artists enjoyed their time with the fans very much and we are already looking forward to next year's Eurovision Weekend, which will be between 17th and 19th July 2015.." continued organizer Salman Tanzeem.
