What are you able to store for in Vienna which you can’t get anyplace else?
Custom-made shirts at Gino Venturini, one among the oldest outlets in the metropolis, simply round the nook from St. Stephen’s Cathedral. Once you’ve been measured there, you don’t have to fret about something anymore and your shirts might be shipped throughout the world.
Vienna isn’t full with out…
Sacher cake. Although I personally am an enormous fan of the Sacher dice with rum, it’s even juicier than the cake.
Do you will have a lodge tip for us?
The new Mandarin Oriental. Everything may be very effectively organized, as we are saying in Austria. A terrific spa and a extremely good gymnasium, which I exploit usually. I at all times keep there throughout Eurovision rehearsals and present week. It looks like dwelling.
How do you truly put together for the reveals?
We began two months in the past. From Sunday to Wednesday I’m in Vienna for rehearsals and recordings, and from Thursday to Saturday I’m in Cologne for Let’s Dance. In between, I used to be additionally in Berlin to launch my vogue model Orimei by Victoria Swarovski with About You. The final three weeks earlier than the Eurovision Song Contest are actually scheduled right down to the minute, there’s hardly a free second from early morning till late at evening.
Did you at all times need to be on the huge stage or did it occur by probability?
I needed to sing. That was one thing I actually needed. At 13, I wrote an e-mail to the producer of Jimmy Blue Ochsenknecht. It was very cheeky, with no demo, simply signed “Victoria S.” He truly needed to fulfill me, and we recorded a track straight away.
Your first TV look was in a present by comic Mario Barth.
I used to be 15 then. Mario Barth invited me after I sang for him. I noticed him in a grocery store with my mom, launched myself, and simply began singing in entrance of him. Completely spontaneously. Again, very cheeky, however he preferred it. I used to be allowed to sing “One in a Million” on his present. That led to a report deal, and I grew to become the youngest artist signed to Sony Germany. I went on a stadium tour with Mario, who was the opening act for David Guetta and Taio Cruz. I nonetheless completed my highschool exams after which moved to Los Angeles for 3 years to pursue my music profession.
You returned at 21 to hitch Let’s Dance. How did you react while you have been requested?
Not as shortly as with Eurovision. I considered it for a very long time, whether or not it was the proper format. I puzzled what individuals would say about me, whether or not they had prejudices due to my final title. In the finish, it was completely the proper resolution. I gained the present, and—with a one-year break in between—finally acquired the supply to host Let’s Dance. That was by no means my plan; I sort of fell into it. Today, I can hardly think about a distinct life.
