What alternative would there have been? Repeat the whole show without Andreas? His song had been my favourite too and couldn’t believe when he backed away. The presenter had said he had performed in spite of not feeling well and high temperature, so why don’t you have more confidence, Andreas? You would have rocked Vienna!
