"A little bit half my voice", "OK I WANT TRY AGAIN!"

Incredible, inspiring performance. I can't believe Valentina's just done her first rehearsal. So close to Eurovision now.

On a shallow note, whoever did Valentina's hair needs to be sacked. It's far too curly and doesn't compliment her stunning looks and blessed eternal youthfulness.

I'm asking myself why my neighbour San Marino has to bring to the stage unprofessional people again. These two little girls behind her are useless.

She looks like she ran from her bathroom directly on stage with her curly hair ! I feel like giving her a towel to dry her hair ! :D

Come on Krishoes, if she was alone on stage would you say that she's overwhelmed by the stage and it looks too empty and she's not able to fill it only by herself? It's not a gimmick of any kind (at least from the snippet), just small help. For example Nina Badric had really big choreography last year with wind and big sheet that was spinning. Somewhere there is a compromise between being (too) lonely and doing too much with too many people on stage. I really like Nebo's performance on Dora and I hoped she would stick to that. Here is something that is close to it's original concept. What Zack wrote about developing.... but I think that's the point of the song and should not be changed by developing the video idea too much = Valentina showing her emotions to audience and I don't think 2 girls can be that distracting ;)

Great start now let's wait for first words and interviews from Valentina! xyes

Why people complaining about similarity to video? Video is great and why don't make performance like in it? Moreover 1% of televoters saw this video

You're way off. I would prefer she was with two professional dancers maybe, not two girls who wave their arms as a show in the parish. Last year the people behind her was unwatchable. I just want professionalism for her, nothing else. She is magnificent.

Quite bad rehearsal, what a bad outfit, dated as hell, just as that song is...movements are crappy too, if ESC is going into this direction it will die very soon! :( Horror! Everybody outside ESC laughs to these shits!

Ban Ralph Siegel for once!! that man is frozen in 20th century! :/

At least i'm gonna use this performance in ESC as a toilet break while watching in Arena! :/

Thanks, it's definitely more enjoyable than this crap performance! :)

I hope I will make only one toilet break - in semi final... :)

You are more than welcome. I'm always worried about needing the toilet during Eurovision. I highly suggest Imodium tablets if you are struggling.

I see, I interpreted wrong. I thought you're against any company for Valentina on the stage.

It's interesting what you've said but I guess we have to wait for the second rehearsal to see the whole thing, maybe girls will dance a little during the slow part we couldn't see on the snippet, I guess we will have to wait. At least I hope they will jump some conclusions and introduce some changes, but it's hard to create something new and good with choreography in few days so probably it will stay the way it is.

Did you prefer/imagine something in similiar style of this? (not nessesarily it must be man-woman)
