North Macedonia is a surprise of the day for many

[Nicky91]

Ireland: horrible vocals, but she looked great, beautiful very irish outfit, very appealing digital tree staging

[Nicky91]

press poll day 1


australia cannot be ranked because that one hasn't got official rehearsals

[Nicky91]

Cyprus, Croatia slayed so far of todays rehearsals


Belgium is a sure no hoper nq now, non-existent depressing staging

[Nicky91]

Malta's staging, costume, sublime vocals


so similar to Netta, but unique in Destiny ''destined for victory'' her own ways


i love Destiny, she makes me want to become gay, i love every single thing about this gorgeous looking diva



Malta deserves to win period, end of

[Nicky91]

8 days till semi 1

[Nicky91]

today first rehearsal for the first half of semi 2

[Nicky91]

we've started again

Youtube video

fun stream to follow it all with, US's Suzanne and our dutch blogger Esma

you can hear the rehearsals pretty clear

[Nicky91]

no flo rida yet for first rehearsal



but tbh fact they used a stand in (italian rapper from their LOT) makes me wonder maybe he could still be there, since bikini contest is 13th but the jury rehearsals is 19th, and semi 2 show is on 20th


hmmmm

[Nicky91]

but the graphics definitely read Flo Rida so it’s reasonable to assume he may be joining us in Rotterdam next week


official source eurovision.tv


lets hope so

[Nicky91]

Czech Republic also very good


Benny wearing such a really lovely sparkly yellow jacket, accompanied by female dancers

overall looks fun (according to the wiwibloggers)

[Nicky91]

Greece rehearsal well staging very similar to Russia 2016, contender vibes based on the stage show act

[Nicky91]

Poland neon lights, star trek style staging


dad rafal giving me what i wanted from the ride performance



vocally i personally like him too

[Nicky91]

ugh what a strong year this is, and loads of countries going for very entertaining performances either


maybe not the most competitive year, but some good potential for 3 very entertaining shows

[Nicky91]

Iceland has jumped to 4th place in the odds

[Nicky91]

Serbia's first rehearsal, yeah yeah fire


Hurricane slayed, soooo hot hot hot

[Nicky91]

second half of semi 2 first rehearsals today

[Nicky91]

today next week exactly semi final 1 show

[Nicky91]

Georgia: blue-dark colours, Tornike wearing a white shirt, wearing shoes but not sure regarding the socks or no socks

usage of smoke machine


very extraterrestrial, as escunited guys describe it, very intimate, relaxed to look at



dark transitioning into orange near the end of song, the sun rise probably

[Nicky91]

Health and Safety is top priority...
Rotterdam Ahoy has lots of Health and Safety wardens checking our every move, ensuring we're socially distanced, and handing out more masks than a Scooby Doo villains convention.

[Nicky91]

we also got our first eurovision romance of the year


Norway's Tix seems to have a little crush at Azerbaijan's Efendi


apparently he posted a song on insta especially for her, i heard just now on wiwibloggs livestream

[Nicky91]

Latvia is good food for the gays


Samanta ''Girlboss'' Tina is slaying it in her first rehearsal, and the visors are BACK from still breathing

[Nicky91]

https://eurovision.tv/story/lets-get-technical-1

here's a nice article regarding the technical aspects which have made this eurovision song contest possible

[Nicky91]

Switzerland now, he is contemporary dancing at same time of singing


prop he got is a big chair

[Nicky91]

last up to rehearse

And finally for today’s rehearsal schedule, and wrapping up the second Semi-Final on Thursday, is Denmark’s Fyr Og Flamme singing Øve os på hinanden. Apparently this means ‘Practice on each other’, and this has a very big ‘80s disco vibe.

We’d like to think that a band called ‘fire and flame’ would go all out on the pyro, but we'll just have to be patient and wait for the final run-through.
