“I am sure Xavier will be a worthy representative at the Eurovision,” Nicole, a German singer who won the contest in 1982, said.Nicole's Eurovision winner was, obviously, a Little Peace. Which turns out to have meant a little piece of Poland.
“I like his music a lot and I find it great that an established artist has the courage to compete on the international stage.”
