San Marino and Montenegro look amazing in photos, but the skater is too much for me...

In your vlog you say that you are 6 people who are they?? OGAE International members?? (a presentation perhaps )

Im afread that all the volunteers on Eurovision Island has been brainwashed to smile and help, unfortunately there wasn't time to upload a help-program, so they have all been instructed to improvise ......We will work on that next year in Herning

DR has also tried to upload a be nice program into common danes.... I hope it works...

The organizers Host City Copenhagen has more than 1000 volunteers out on the streets in Copenhagen, so if you look lost there will always be a well instructed (programed) smiling dane who are willing to help you, unfortunate they forgot, in their casting to ask if people know their way around Copenhagen. Therefore expect to meet danes from Kolding, Århus, Herning, Aalborg and elsewhere in Denmark who are in Copenhagen for the first time trying to help you.......:?

PS: Don't worry, next year there will be no problems at all (You don't even need a guide to find you way around Herning)

They are not OGAE but people selected by me. You'll see them soon enough We are from USA, Sweden, UK, Turkey and Israel and the second vlog will be up sometime today.

The volunteers are very nice here, I don't know if they are "brainwashed" but I'm sure they were advised of the significance in being polite as the goal is also to impress.

Not too many votes yet but here are the current Press Voting results for both Semis

 

[RainyWoods]

People are voting in the second semi when not all songs yet have been performed? And they are voting for said songs that haven't been performed?xwhat

That would be like me going there, entering straight up to the machine and pressing the San Marino button without watching anything..... I would do it

 

[martin]

Norway just 9?? That was not too good happy that Finland, Ireland, Slovenia and Malta do well

 

[Rteger]

Poland, Belarus and Norway ex aequo on p9? Sure, tell me more :?

Yep, around three dozen people voted so far which is not too representative so I'd wait a few days but it's fun posting it anyway just for trending purposes.

 

[Terence]

How can Romania be second when they are yet to rehearse? We know they can sing but anything can happen!

 

[RainyWoods]

The interviews so far you guys have been doing have been fantastic. Matt you are a gentleman as ever and show a real interest in whoever you're interviewing and Olivia is so warm and wonderful to watch.

ESCUNITED >>> everyone else

Greece rehearsal by EscKaz:

Freaky Fortune teamed up with rapper RiskyKidd for their uptempo danceable 'Rise Up' entry, winning convincingly their national final for Greece in March. They've promised us to rise up. Find out how their first rehearsal went.

The Greek performance starts with the LED frame slowly lighting up in a white colour, starting from the bottom.
There are some really great close up shots for RiskyKidd and Nikolas, who's celebrating his 23rd birthday today.

The Greek entry this year has, as many others, been given an overall blue back drop in which rectangular shapes are thrown in. These shapes range from white to grey colours. I'm not entirely sure, whether that back drop is the right type for 'Rise Up'. It looks a little too dark in my opinion, while Rise Up is in fact a very happy and cheerful song, which to me should involve different colours.

Again there are some fantastic shots from across the hall, zooming in on Nikolas and Riskykidd as they both use the catwalks to go the the smaller stages near the green room and audiences. Vocally both guys sound absolutely brilliant.

In the last minute and a half, we go back to the main stage where a trampoline has been added. A gymnast is jumping around until Nikolas and Riskykidd join him for the final chorus. The final shot consists of the three guys, laying on the mat while the camera zooms in on them from above.

I'm a little bit unsure why producer Theo is only getting a few minutes of screen time. A few shots of him, spinning the table would be great too.

Great great energetic performance. I reckon this is going to go down very well with the audience in the hall and the people watching at home.

Today, my favourites were Austria, Lithuania, Belarus and Switzerland. I also liked the curious performance from Greece and FYR Macedonia, because I think the stage looks amazing during the performance...

The lights in Finland are really impressive. Slovenia's act is very simple and her dress is horrible, and Romania is ok, but I'm not surprised at all. At finally, Ireland was the worst today. I consider with that staging, they don't have chances to make the final.

 

[WhoKnows]

Terrible rehearsal day today, imo.

Belarus was the only one that impressed me.
Greece and Romania have lot going on, but it didn't come across well from the little snippet.
Slovenia was better than I expected. They'd be well advised to change her dress though. It's a no!
Switzerland was too. Still hate everything about it though.
Finland was nice enough.
Austria was just what I expected - nothing.
Macedonia was very disappointing. Lithuania was bad too, but I wasn't expecting much from it.
The worst was easily Ireland. I had so much optimism for them and they totally failed.

 

[Romeo]

So what's happening tomorrow? Nothing?

 

[GERVision]

Just waiting for the interview with Elaiza. When will you conduct the interview ?
