Jasmina Kostić Mina: Pozitivna, jer su oni su normalni ljudi. Pevala sam Stankoviću, Mihajloviću, Kežmanu i mnogim drugima. Bio je tu i Džej i OK Band, pa je atmosfera bila fantastična. Dejan Stanković je najjači lik i definitivno ga obožavam. Uz to je i najveći kavaljer, najlakše se hvata za džep. Baš mi se sviđa kao ličnost.
