A recap of the 2nd rehearsals so far

 

[popavapeur]

Iceland's second rehearsal

I think this is qualifying

 

[crashworld]

Norway's Second Rehearsal Clip

 

[0scar]

Looks really good, probably one of the best snippets so far!
I HATE EVERYTHING about this

 

[Zeus]

This might be an unpopular opinion, but so far I like Icelands snippet the most. Magical staging, good camerawork.. They are really creating a moment.

Armenia's Second Rehearsal Clip

 

[goncalovieira]

Nice rehearsal from Iceland!

 

[0scar]

boring?

 

[popavapeur]

I like the staging from Armenia BUT it really feels rehearsed like, the camera should follow along and then she rips the wall, with this 20sec snippet it looks like a play with this camera work and you already know what's she going to do before hand and you see her thinking about doing it

 

[crashworld]

Seems like Israel did great with their staging! Can't wait!

 

[Serena00]

boring?

Yeah, also lacks color
I'd rather see Iceland qualify over Armenia

 

[RainyWoods]

This is really nicely done. Actually, I don't believe they could have sold it any better. I'm loving the performances that give us some good shots of the gorgeous waterfall. Trouble is this semi has so much intimate slow song competition and Iceland perhaps musically speaking risks being forgotten among that bunch.

I don't like anything about this but the performance is competent as usual. Would be great on loop in a 10 hour Try Not To Laugh video with a nice cash prize and some Ferrero Rocher for anyone who manages the feat (me).

I think I hate it but her interaction with the camera is there, and of course.. look, a gimmick. Actually kind of cool she has furniture on the stage as her song is a DFS sofa advert.

 

[Zeus]

Armenia looks very.. childish to me? Not to be rude, but idk.

And the "room" looks like an iglo build on paper.

 

[Mainshow]

I´m pleasantly surprised about the Icelandic performance. This looks absolutely amazing and mesmerising on stage - very charismatic, intimate and warm (which is quite difficult to achieve due to the dead/black sun, imo).
I´ll keep my fingers crossed for Iceland on Tuesday - I really think that it has chances to qualify.

Armenia, however, looks really strange, imo - I liked the initial idea but it looks like she´s living in a room full of toilet paper and her outfit isn´t great either - it really does lack colour.

 

[Yoozek]

Oh no, my star dancer from Norway team seems not to be dancing in the middle between the wolves anymore. Norway, you had ONE thing to do...

 

[crashworld]

Finland's Second Rehearsal Clip

 

[popavapeur]

I like Finland tbh, nothing incredible but I feel like it's qualifying easily

 

[0scar]

pfffff I don't know what to say, it's alright I guess? vocally it sounds weird but visually it's ok, don't get the balloons though other than that it looks "cool"

 

[JonasS]

Finland's Second Rehearsal Clip

Looks very dark with the balloons. It needs more brightness(/yellow). Maybe those balloons light up later on?

 

[Zeus]

Looks very dark with the balloons. It needs more brightness(/yellow). Maybe those balloons light up later on?

Agree. More yellow needed to stand out.

Vocals are meh, but we knew that. He is an old rocker and his voice just got a bit weaker, not the first one in his genre. But yeah, could affect the juryscore, but will still get a good televotescore I guess. It's the only rocksong that stays in your head a bit this year.
