Today completed the individual rehearsals when The Big5 and Ukraine had their second rehearsal (20 minutes). From Monday we will have the full dress rehearsals.
Germany apparently uses each and every light there's in the arena at some point of their 3 minutes sporting their the most extravagant costumes since Lordi. Quite fitting as the band feels very much at home in Finland where they record and produce their very Finnish sounding music. And they just also covered Käärijä's Cha cha cha, have a listen here.
Keeping up with the theme blood & glitter France provides more glitter than anyone else. And La Zarra some risky business on top of a disco stick.
Italy or Marco mengoni continues the trend with a new glittery sparkly top (indeed he promised he would wear a different one for each time). There's the moon to add, and two guys or due vite. Fandom is sleeping on this, this is Top-5 finish material.
A minor costume change for Ukraine and we are also done with the glitter. I have to admit when this was chosen I didn't care much for this and when someone asked if Ukraine wins again I was quick to answer With this song? hell no!. Well, I don't think this will win either now but this will end up in Top-10 rather than bottom-10 as I predicted in December.
Spain. Like someone wrote somewhere could this be this year's Fulenn? Indeed, that's what I have been saying all along. I didn't get Fulenn, and I don't get this. I mean, this should right my cup of tea but no, I can't connect. And I don't think some Easter European, or Northern for that matter, or basically anyone outside Iberian peninsula gets this and ends up voting this. She's amazing vocalist, I get that but still I don't want to listen to this.... We'll see.
Uk at home ground will be huge in the arena and it looks like BBC got it right for the second year in a row after soooooo long and sassy Mae might be scoring very high if she nails it the big night. I hope she does. This is bubble gum fun pop. For some weird reason her performance is missing from the roundup videos. The spculation and rumors are running wild....
