Rehearsals - Day Three - Part 2

6. Ukraine
Nice vocals from Mika, and an unusual backdrop, yet absoloutley fascinating. However I think that it really distracts you from the song. After a while I realised that I was concentrating so much on the sand drawings, that i'd forgotten that Mika was singing. Hopefull not everyone will be like me on the night!
7. Moldova
The stage is lit in green, yellow and orange, with elf like cartoons being shown on the screen behind them. Two members of the band are wearing long black pointed hats, which I can't work out! The vocals are typical Zdob si Zdub, not particularly great, but has a madness affect to it.

8. Sweden
To me this song starts the show. This uptempo song, has that Eurovision feel to it. His vocals were patchy, but the stage looked good. The glass box is back. The stage was lit in black, white and red, with a red finish. This could be Sweden's best position for years.

9. Cyprus
Simple rehearsal from Cyprus. The back drop showed lights on sticks, and a girl at the end of the catwalk had a light on a piece of rope. He is joined by four male backing. His vocals sound ok, but this slow song will struggle in this Semi-final.




Tomorrow we will be seeing the last of the semi-final first rehearsals - Bulgaria, FYR Macedonia, Israel, Slovenia, Belarus, Estonia, Romania, Latvia, Denmark and Ireland.
