In an attempt to reach his reflection, he drowned and was subsequently reborn as the Narcissus flower. Eurovision star Theo Evans He shared his admiration for his Eurovision idol during the show, stating: "Since Eurovision is in Switzerland, I have to say Céline Dion. "She proved that Eurovision can launch global superstars, and her voice and passion have inspired me endlessly."
