Rehearsals - Day One - Part 2

6. Serbia
The stage certainly has a 60s feel to it, and it sets a perfect mood for the song. Nina has three backing singers/dancers. The dance routine is nothing fancy, but suits the song perfectly. Her voice is sounding great, and its all looking hopeful! 



7. Russia
On the stage for the Russian performance, there are some metal screens and lighted podiums, which are moved around during the song, to help with the choreography. The stage has a blue/green feel to it, with some smoke to set the mood. Alexey's voice is strong and sounding good, but he has a very arrogant attitude which may put people off.


 
8. Switzerland
What a delightful song to watch. Anna delivered it in a beautiful way, with a lovely deep red dress. Her vocals were effortless and it had a great simplistic feel to it. The Swiss used soap bubbles of the screen behind them to add effect to the song, and she was joined by her two band members with their instruments. It's looking good for Switzerland this year!


 
9. Georgia
Well this is certainly different! The lead singer's dress isn't that attractive, and doesn't suit the song at all, but certainly catches the eye! Her vocal performance was ok, but there is no overall feel to the song. The stage was simplistic, with the back drop showing a wall during the chorus.


10. Finland
For me, the setting for this song is the best today. The feel from the stage is great, and the meaning of the song is lovely, although his voice does nothing for me. I feel its too similar to Tom Dice, although it could easily charm Europe. The stage's screen shows the world and stars, with blues and greens dominating.

Tomorrow we shall see the first rehearsals of Malta, San Marino, Croatia, Iceland, Hungary, Portugal, Lithuania, Azerbaijan and Greece!
