Today's rehearsals continued with the first rehearsals of the first part of second semi final. Tonight after three days of rehearsals there's already some movement in the odds. Iceland (+1), Greece (+2), Austria (+1) of today's acts move up and from first semi Ukraine (+2), Russia (+1), Cyprus (+2) and Croatia (+3) move up as well. Lithuania (-1), Sweden (-1), Norway (-5), Azerbaijan (-2), Slovenia (-1) and Australia (-2) move down and from today both Moldova (-1) and Serbia (-1) as well)
San Marino's Senhit certainly gets
everyone's attention with her headpiece. She's having four dancers –
already a trend this year – on a rotating thingy and it's all very
colorful, happy and insanely catchy as is the music video. Flo Rida
is replaced by some random rapper but the strong rumor is he is
already in town and waiting for his quarantine and Covid-19 tests to
prove negative so he can join the fun. Vocally Senhit seems to
deliver as we know she can.
Estonia's Uku Suviste starts on his
knees under full moon. Add lightning and water effects already
familiar from the national final. Just like his outfit. Not much love
is shared to this among fans but I wouldn't be surprised this
qualified.
Benny Cristo from Czech Republic
didn't have his best day today, a fact he confirmed in his press
meeting afterwards. Again four dancers on stage with him.
Benny in golden/yellow jacket, the others in black with some added
color. Lacks the energy and the spark from his video, but hopefully he gets
his act together before semi-final!
One of the most anticipated acts next:
Stefania from Greece. A lot of purple, including her sparkly cat
suit. A clever trick with green screen effect so you have dancing
suits until the last part where the dancers become visible. Add
Sergey Lazarev-esque staircase. Maybe the expectations were too high
and the staging wasn't as extraordinary as let us all believe the
last few weeks. But vocally she apparently delivered.
