Recently, Michelle became a member of the expert council of the National Selection for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. She shared her impressions of this new role and explained why she is pleased to be a part of this process.

"Those three days were special! I like helping children, contributing to their development. I know how hard it is to hear rejection, especially when you're young and just starting out, " said Andrade.

A look into the future

Michelle Andrade's decision not to participate in Eurovision 2025 underlines her desire for creative freedom and her desire to avoid competition frameworks.
