Rehearsal Day 3 – Poland

An expected staging for Poland, as we see the stage full of neon lights. RafaÅ‚ is dressed in all black, and the sunglasses are back for half of the performance. The staging is very similar to the music video, and the backing screens even feature clips from the music video. The dancers have neon lights…

Rehearsal Day 3 – Greece

No half naked Greek Gods on stage unfortunately, but instead we get some interesting use of the green screens. The performance begins with Stefania on stage solo, and she is wearing the most stunning purple studded jumpsuit. She really looks incredible on stage. The lighting is pink and purple, and the way they use the…

Rehearsal Day 3 – Czech Republic

Rehearsals are a great time to iron out any issues on stage, but it’s not always necessary to belt out vocals for each and every run through. Benny gave us the most reserved vocal performance thus far, and apparently, he previously stated that he would be preserving his voice for the more important moments. While…

Rehearsal Day 3 – Estonia

Estonia is coming into the competition with a song that isn’t expected to reach the final, but as we know, rehearsals can really change the game.

Rehearsal Day 2 – Ukraine

Ukraine is not here to play. While the song is not to my tastes, I absolutely cannot deny that this is a very, very good performance. To set the scene, the group is situated on the main stage on a platform with prop white trees. There are dancers in the performance as well who use…

Rehearsal Day 2 – Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan is certainly turning up prepared, with a good staging concept and strong vocals. Efendi is looking mini on stage thanks to her outfit and a bunch of tall backing dancers! She is certainly a pocket rocket however, nailing the vocals in each run through and keeping up with the choreography. The staging is interesting,…

Rehearsal Day 2 – Romania

With one of the strongest songs this year, and the biggest potential for staging, Romania has set the bar high this year. The first broadcasted run through of Amnesia was shaky to say the least. Vocally, Roxen fails to deliver. She gives a confident delivery, but each note is as shaky as the last. The…
