A phenomenon that was noticed this year for the Song Festival was the attraction of competing artists from the beginning.
Casey Tola and Samanta Karavella were two names that withdrew from the race. The reason that has been talked about for a long time in the network is that this Festival this year has been promised to Elsa Lila.
Recently, in an interview for "Let Me Talk" on Top Channel, Samanta confessed her version, saying:
"There has been a lot of speculation about the festival. The truth is that the song I had chosen, a very rhythmic song, I was not allowed to perform. I couldn't sing a rhythmic song without performance. These were the rules this year. As for Elsa Lila, there are speculations, I don't know anything", she said.
While Casey said through a phone call to the show that she withdrew for personal reasons without clarifying anything further.
