After the backstage visit with KEiiNO and having pictures taken, photos signed etc. we went back into the arena where the show was going to be. It was a bit shocking to see how many had arrived while we were backstage, the room was more or less filled and it was SO hot and the concert had not even started yet.
We began to mingle a little and try to move our way towards the scene, but it was packed up there and very hot and not knowing how long it would be before the show started, we didn’t feel like standing that close amongst people already then. So we began to look back and sideways to find a better place less crowded. Turning around, right behind me I saw a sweet familiar face and went to say hello:

The recent silver winner reveals that the band project is running a deficit internationally. Next autumn, she will start a solo career.

Left my insecurity
On earth
I’m never coming down
Venus
Ready for your blinding light
What if
I was the only girl
Venus
Teach me to rule the world
I’m strong
See me now I’m shining bright
I’m over the fear
Of letting them down
I’m ready to own my destiny
I’m letting them go
The demons in me
I’m letting you go
I’m cutting signals off from ground control
I see a goddess floating in the sky
She tells me all you have to do is fly
Venus I’m burning in the atmosphere
And I don’t care now if I shine too bright
I’ve seen the beauty in the blinding light
Now I can
Fly
She says
My prosperity
My life
Only belongs to me
Venus
Rise me up and set me free
I cant
Can’t be the only girl
Ready
Waiting to rule the world
Venus
Rise them up and set them free
I know that you’re scared
Of taking the crown
They make it seem so impossible
If you let them go
The demons in you
Girl, you let them go
I’m cutting signals off from ground control
I see a goddess floating in the sky
She tells me all you have to do is fly
Venus I’m burning in the atmosphere
And I don’t care now if I shine too bright
I’ve seen the beauty in the blinding light
Now I can
Fly
Cause they blinded me
Now I finally see
They can’t bring me down
I got with Venus with me
No more holding me back
She’s been calling me
from the day I was born
You’re my warrior
Princess
A goddess
A queen
I’m cutting signals off from ground control
I see a goddess floating in the sky
She tells me all you have to do is fly
Venus I’m burning in the atmosphere
And I don’t care now if I shine too bright
I’ve seen the beauty in the blinding light
Now I can
Fly
