Hersi at the Montenegro party
Sorry, not feeling that rehearsal at all!
That podium-thing is just ugly, and the way she sways from side to side during the guitar solo looks bizarre.
Vocally good. Shame as this was one of my favourites - before the language switch!

Nice to see Nana Mouskouri back on the Eurovision stage again as one of Hersi's backing singers.
Brilliant vocal as usual from Hersi. It's hard to predict how this will do. It's very much a borderline qualifier. The song will prove to be too intricate for most and it has lost a lot of it's magic since the revamp. The staging is pleasant and I like the moon behind the scaffolding.

The rehearsals of Albania prove that this song is quality, so in my humble opinion, she has chances to go to the final.

Is it me or the guitars sound louder the first seconds of the song??

I'm still undecided as to whether or not Albania's song deserves to go thorough or not. Interestingly though, Albania perform in semi-final 1 but the UK votes in semi-final 2. Thus the UK won't be able to vote for Albania in semi-final 1. The reason I want to draw your attention to that is the lyrics.
By listening to Albania's song on the ESC 2014 album (here are the lyrics) I've noticed the line Keep calm and think twice. Here in the UK, some ESC fans will undoubtedly see that as the latest variation of Keep calm and carry on. The last four or five years that's become a big craze in the UK with people having all sorts of variations (some outrageously far fetched) put onto T-shirts, mugs etc; no doubt some ESC fans in the UK might now have Keep calm and think twice in time for the ESC 2014 as a way of supporting Albania's song. On those grounds perhaps it's just as well UK viewers won't be able to vote for "One Night's Anger" in semi-final 1 as, given the chance to, a large number of UK viewers would inevitably vote for it just because it contains the line Keep calm and think twice.
