another moment that paula remembers happening in brașov was on the day of the festivity, when everybody was full of excitement and pressure, she met a journalist who asked for an interview about the contest. they sat around a table, and, with self-confidence, he told her: "look: we are going to make this interview work by pretending that you do not know about winning the award..." in that moment all that paula wanted was to win this award so much but she didn't dare hope she was getting it. she also did not want to find out, not yet, she wanted to hear it when it was announced that evening, while sitting alone with her thoughts and her prayers, in the first row in front of the stage. the evening was incredible, she remembers: " the scorpions, one of my favorite bands since i was a child, was invited to brașov to close the golden stag festival with a performance. well, they invited me on the stage and dedicated the most wonderful song – still loving you. at that time, i cried, it was incredible!".
