Our pupil from 8-B form, Ella Yevtushenko, took part in it and won the first place!
Our site journalist Nataliya Derevianko interviewed Ella.
1. Why did you decide to compete in this contest? Who told you about it?

2. How many contestants were there? And did you make friends with them?
- There were only three contestants: me, a girl with a "rock"-band and a boy who performed rap. All they were very interesting and talented, but unfortunately we didn't have much time to khow each other better.
3. Did you want to win? Were you sure you would?
- Of course I wanted to, and I hoped I would, but it would very selfish to be sure in it.
4. What song did you sing there? Who did you dedicate it to?
- It was a song about love. I dedicated it to one person who's important for me. But you can also understand it as love to high marks, to free Ukraine or to unpolluted nature. =)
- Click to listen to a song on-line.
5. Did the jury have any quiestions to you?

- No, but it was visited by a journalist from our district newspaper.
7. Did you play any instruments or sing without music?
- I played the acoustic guitar.
8. Did you have any technical problems?
- There were no serious problems, but I had two microphones (one for guitar and one for singing), and it was quite uncomfortable.
9. Did you have any show while performing or just sing sitting on a chair?
- The style of a song doesn't really need any show.
10. What were you wearing? Did you have some special costume?
- No, I was wearing just a black skirt and white blouse.
11. Did you get any presents for you victory?
- I was given a diploma. And I'm waiting for the next tour.
My congratulations! Well done! Good luck in the next challenge! You are really talented and creative! I know you'll win! =)
