Taking to social media, local pop star and singer Ira Losco reflected on her past Eurovision experience and the criticism that came with it as she encouraged this year’s winner to keep doing what she’s doing.

‘I’ve followed Miriana’s success since the release of her song KANT for MESC’, wrote Losco.

‘I can’t help but recognize the impact she is leaving in a very positive way on socials….. OBVIOUSLY there are those who comment negatively for whatever the reason.’

She reflected how she’s received both constructive and negative criticism during her own personal career.

‘Both Eurovision experiences came with their fair share of horrible words including a suggestion by a “journalist” at the time that I had definitely slept with members of the jury to place second with 7th wonder, cause I wasn’t talented at all in her opinion.’

‘Fast forward to 2016 where I was accused of using my pregnancy to my advantage after I literally hid it specifically TO avoid this accusation.’

‘Being strong-willed and believing in yourself helps heaps! Miriana Conte seems to be doing that just fine like a true professional who knows her worth and knows the strength of her narrative.’

‘Together with her team, she KNOWS she has something very unique in hand and as a fellow artist I know that THAT must be so exhilarating to feel!’
