Bulgaria is being backed on stage by a tradition folk group. At the Bulgarian press conference today they got the spotlight when they had prepared a folk song for the audience.
After some happy sound from Greece Moran Mazor from Israel was next to have her second rehearsal and to perform her dramatic ballad. It seemed to be another reprise of her performance of the Israeli final as well as of her first rehearsal.
Finland's Krista loves to entertain with her entry, Marry Me, but at her press conference today it was the Swedish 1991 Eurovision Song Contest winner Fångad Av En Stormvind she threw herself into. Can she live up to Carola? Watch the video and judge for yourself.
Eyþór Ingi gave an immaculate performance with his first rehearsal, ticking off a lot of boxes for many fans with his celtic twinged ballad Ég á Líf. Would he make as strong an impact during the second rehearsals both vocally and visually? We seemed to think so.
Next up was the second rehearsal of Bulgaria. Elitsa and Stoyan have not changed their stage presentation since their first rehearsal. It is still very lively, loud and colourful.
Krista wasn't exactly a blushing bride during her first rehearsal, demanding a proposal from her beloved. She was ever the professional, with a fantastically humourous stage show. Would her second rehearsal be just as fun and punchy or would her tongue in cheek performance fall flat on its face?
For their press conference today the Latvian guys from PeR had prepared their very own version of Bob Marley's reggae hit No Woman, No Cry. That performance can be seen in this video.
EuroVisionary caught up with the Lithuanian representative Andrius Pojavis for a quick chat about when he decided to try to reach the Eurovision Song Contest, why he doesn't dance and much more.
Young Lozano has impressed greatly with vocals of a consistently high standard, Esma less so. Would the flamboyant Gypsy queen have a new over the top outfit for their second rehearsal? Neither disappointed.
