The 58th Eurovision Song Contest is ongoing and the next set of rehearsals are on their way. You can check the report of the second round of the fist semifinal rehearsals plus videos from the official EBU YouTube channel when available.
DENMARK – EMMELIE DE FOREST – ONLY TEARDROPS
WATCH THE VIDEO
Seems like Emmelie is still testing the cameras and the sound. She is also using a wind machine and the camera work seems quite interesting. Vocally and technically we expect a perfect performance soon, it wasn’t as good as expected. Nevertheless the song is already powered up, it’s boosting over and over and everyone loves it. So I guess it’s only technicalities so she can achieve perfection. The sage looks though amazing. I can hardly see Denmark not winning this year! The confetti used during the performance are amazing, they give a sense of winner song doesn’t it?
RUSSIA – DINA GARIPOVA – WHAT IF
WATCH THE VIDEO
Τhe Russian entry bids high this year (although with a stolen song, according to many). The vocal performance of Dina is amazing and the stage presentation with balloons although looking weird in the arena, works great in the monitors. Two balls thrown to the audience during the performance. A sure qualifier and maybe one of the suggested winners this year? During the first semifinal the Russian delegation will give away bracellets to the audience for a fancy light during Dina’s performance.
UKRAINE – ZLATA OGNEVICH – GRAVITY
WATCH THE VIDEO
With the giant carrying Zlata in the podium, dressed in a folk outfit and walking a bit weird, Zlata is performing the song Gravity with an amazing vocal performance. The dress looks sparkly and amazing. The stage is full of smoking. After an amazing Russian vocal performance another amazing performance takes place. Ukraine bids to vicotry for sure. Lots of butterflies are also depicted in the backgrops in gold colors. Well done!
THE NETHERLANDS – ANOUK – BIRDS
WATCH THE VIDEO
This is the third amaing performance in a row. Anouk is giving a stansing vocal performance and you are feeling magic all over the arena. Simple and efficient performance by Anouk on stage performing on the edge of the catwalk. It’s simply amazing and Netherlands you are definitely in the final not to mention they are bidding for the trophy. Sounds like Skayfall, sounds like a great OST but it sounds great in the hall.
