Baby Lasagna: Sharing Insights from Eurovision Preparations

Baby Lasagna made an appearance yesterday night on the HTV show “Kod nas doma,” straight from London where he attended one of the pre-Eurovision parties.

His performance took place on April 7th, alongside 32 other representatives out of 38. Before London, he had already performed in Madrid, and next week, he’s set to perform in Amsterdam.

Awaiting His Performance in Amsterdam

“PreParties,” or warm-up events, serve as opportunities for us, the Eurovision representatives, to get to know each other better and connect with fans. It was fantastic, both in Madrid and London. And now, Amsterdam awaits us next week,” he said, adding that he was surprised to be recognized by fans outside the country, in London and Madrid.

Initially, he wasn’t sure about accepting engagements in London, Amsterdam, and Madrid, fearing it would take up too much of his time.

“But in Madrid, I realized that it’s all part of the Eurovision preparation. You perform in front of people, you travel, you get nervous. It’s actually like a few dress rehearsals before the real thing,” said Marko Purišić, better known as Baby Lasagna.

Becoming a Fan of Switzerland

One of the goals of participating in the PreParties was to hear how other representatives sound live.

“It was great, especially Slovenia, Serbia, and Italy caught my eye. They are perhaps my favorites at the moment. Although, Switzerland, ever since it climbed the betting odds, I listened to the song, and the song ‘kills it,'” he said, adding that after listening to the song live and online, he became a fan.

Baby Lasagna spent 32 days at the top of the official Eurovision betting odds, but he was overtaken by the aforementioned Swiss representative, Nemo.

“Now we’re in second place, and it’s a little easier for me. At least no one asks me about it anymore,” he joked.

“I Like Visiting My Parents and Not Talking Too Much About What’s Happening Now”

His family, he says, is his greatest support, and he draws the most energy and help from them.

“I like visiting my parents and not talking too much about what’s happening now. My dad starts talking about taking the car to the mechanic and similar things,” said Baby Lasagna, announcing at the end that he will soon start filming a documentary in collaboration with HRT.
