We’re continuing to enjoy the rehearsals of the second half of the second semi-final. Next in line to present themselves on the big stage are Belgium and Estonia.
🇧🇪 The party ain’t over yet because Mustii from Belgium is on stage next
This performance brings a lot of the intense, slow-build mood we saw in the official video, with a circle of microphones on a smoky platform that slowly turns, and lots of cloudy graphics on the wall and floor. Mustii is wearing an open white shirt with a gem-encrusted top underneath that catches the arena light – it’s giving North Macedonia 2021 vibes, but more glam rock and less disco ball.
For the final section, Mustii moves to the front stage and lifts the roof off the arena – backing vocals for this song are provided by hundreds of Eurovision fans, so it’s very much a United By Music effort. The pounding drums at the end vibrate through the arena floor, it will surely be a moment for everyone present.
@eurovision Belgium has had its first rehearsal and it’s a multiple mic-drop from @Mustii 🇧🇪 #Eurovision2024
🇪🇪 UuuuyEEEE! 5Minuust x Puuluup are on stage, ready to make you move
5MIINUST are a well-known pop/hip hop group in Estonia, and Puuluup describe themselves as ‘a zombie folk duo’.
Note to Eurovision fact fans – this song has the longest single-language title in Eurovision history – (nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi, which translates as ‘we (really) don’t know anything about (these) drugs’.
The band all look very stylish in black suits with varying quantities of sleeves. The whole performance is a heady and joyful mix of thumping beats, traditional talharpa melodies and the 5MIINUST x Puuluup aerobic dance routine.
Also the cubes are down, lit up with more cube graphics that change colour through the performance to match the LED wall behind. A neon cube extravaganza, and a lot of fun.
@eurovision UuuuyEEEE! The @5MIINUST x @Puuluup party has arrived at first rehearsals in Malmö 🇪🇪 #Eurovision2024
Stay tuned for the last installment of Eurovision rehearsals from the second semi-final. We’re almost there…
