Updated: Thea woos Polish singer
Adds link to full video -
Thea Garrett last night showed off her talents to the large Polish delegation for the Eurovision Song Contest in Oslo, and also struck up a friendship with Polish representative Marcin Mrozinski.
The two singers spent the night partying, laughing and greeting fans together.
The night began at a pub where the Polish delegation hosted a party.
Among the many "surprises" of the night were performances by the Irish and Slovakian representatives and then Thea and Marcin sang a duet from Phantom of the Opera, which they had previously rehearsed.
Marcin, 24, is one of the cast members of the musical's Polish version and Thea is a huge musical theatre buff. Phantom of the Opera is one of her favourite pieces.
After their performance Marcin told timesofmalta.com that Thea was "vocally perfect" and he wished she would audition for a part in the Polish Les Miserables which is opening soon.
He also said he hoped Poland would give Malta 12 points because he thought Thea was "amazing" and her song was "one of the best".
The two later also teamed up at the Euroclub, a nightclub dedicated to the Eurovision.
After greeting each other with a big hug they spent most of the night dancing and taking photos with fans, both with huge grins plastered on their faces.
There Thea also got a chance to perform her song My Dream, to the delight of Eurovision fans from all over Europe who are all quickly falling in love with her magnetic personality and Liza-Minelli-looks.
Thea is beaming with the attention, forgetting all the hassles back home and living her dream to the full: signing autographs, hugging flamboyant fans and loving the comments she is receiving like: "You're the most talented singer here" and "Liza Minelli would be jealous".
At the end of the night, Thea and Marcin sat near each other on the shuttle bus back to the hotel where both the Polish and Maltese delegations are staying.
Thea is also getting along well with other singers, including those representing Ireland and Greece.
The Maltese and Polish singers are both in Tuesday's semi-final and the only thing that separates their performances is Belgium's song, so they will definitely be seen together at Monday's rehearsals.
But will they both make it to the final? We'll have to wait and see...

Why can't you just enjoy it for what it is? Why the jealous sarcasm?
