Estonia:

Ott started in a very shaky way. The first rehearsal was excellent and I can see that the singer maybe tried to repeat that success. In this second rehearsal today he's tried to bring a slightly different version of Kuula but it doesn't go very well in my opinion. Fans of this song should not watch this (they will be shocked) and if they have, they should not panic. I'm sure Ott and the Estonian team will be smart enough to use the official version. The background singer was sick today and was replaced by Ott's vocal coach.

Slovakia:

Vocally this rehearsal was much better than the first. I can see that Max has beautified himself by using his hairspray generously and he's wearing his official outfit today. The outfit reveals parts of his body, in my opinion the biggest (and maybe only) plus he brings to the Eurovision table. Unfortunately I still don't see this qualifying because I can't see many viewers voting for this. The overall package will not be attractive enough I'm afraid.

Norway - I like Tooji's Performance very much. Although he Is Dancing a Lot, his vocals are very Good. Will be surely in the finals and Top 10.

I watched an interview of Bruno Berberes yesterday where he said that he wanted a choregraphy that doesn't look like one... well... it's a success...
I still don't understand the meaning of soldier in the clip and now, gymnasts... I know that french are a little crazy but not so much :/

France:

I can only repeat what I wrote yesterday. It seems like there is almost happening too much on stage, or maybe the wrong things. Sometimes 'too much' works (like in Ukraine's case), sometimes it doesn't. For me the choreography doesn't seem to fit into the song's theme and the backdrop is a bit too abstract. The entire performance seems to lack unity. This could prove to be a bit too much avantgarde for the crowds. Overall this little show is hard to understand, to feel what it all means. I can really see the tv viewer wonder: "What is this song about??"

Gee, I don't know. Ott seems to be confident and is just joking around to fill the time. I guess he's bored of singing the song the same way four times in a row. Hopefully he doesn't feel the need to do it differently in the semi-final.

Finally caught up in all the rehearsals so far. So far I like Slovakia, Norway, France, and Italy

Up until 0:40 several of his notes were clearly off...that is what my ears are telling me. Especially the first "Kuula" was shaky (and off). Please kuula again.

I know that I have kuulaed very carefully.

Bosnia:

I really, I really don't understand why Maya and/or the Bosnian team have chosen this dress for Maya. The dress is black, looks heavy and baroque and with those things that look like shoulder patches, it's even borderline cheesy or camp. The dress simply looks too old-fashioned and mismatched. Plus they've used a different backdrop, red and blue, that looks quite out of place compared to the sepia one used in the first rehearsal. Overall the dress and backdrop used in this second rehearsal do not fit the atmosphere of the song, in my opinion. I prefer the casual light colored dress and photospheric backdrop of the first rehearsal. I'm holding my heart on this one. I love this song but it might not qualify due to the ill-chosen visual elements.

Norway:

Almost exactly the same as the first rehearsal. It was simply good and solid.

Italy:

Overall it was a good second rehearsal, I think. Nina is now probably wearing her official dress: a short chique cocktail dress. It is blue; I would've advised a different color. Blue is usually perceived as neutral or cool and I personally don't think it's the best color for this song.
What is really disappointing to me is the backdrop. I expected things to be more in line with the atmosphere of the song. The black and white backdrop is just quite boring. It lacks grandeur and some oomph. More uplifting colors like red and yellow/gold would've been really nice. The question this year is not: who will win Eurovision (because that question has already been answered months ago) but: who will finish at number 2? I really would like to see Italy finish at number 2.

Bosnia simply fails at scene every year! Seems like we always let the same uneducated and non-professional people do our scene and dressing. Like everything else in this country they are probably placed there due to nepotism

OMG! Azerbaijan is heading for the second victory really! I mean if you look at it unbiased, it is THE BEST rehearsal from all and you can't stay indifferent to it!

Do you look it unbiased? I don't want to offend you
If you look to the voice, its 100x better than Ell&Nikki
The song is less good.
But certain top 10 and maybe 5

"The best", as if that wasn't subjective. I agree with you that she sings better live than in the preview video, but it's not like she is an outstanding singer. For me it's still a boring song, and it definitely won't win.

I mean I am trying to be as objective as possible. If you compare with e.g. Loreen who is hot favourite, Loreen's rehearsals are not good.

Sabina Babayeva does a professional and passionate singing again. My top favourite!

I don't understand the man on the pillar though. He is destroying one the best parts in the song - when she goes low key . Away with him. Sabina and her burning dress is enough and brilliant.

O?? I thought last year's performance from Bosnia was pretty well done...
