I'll be at school until like 5
Now comes the important, life changing choice... it's either school or Valentina Monetta. I think you know which is the right one to pick. Don't let Valentina down. Drop out from school and witness live, the queen of the internet singing for her fans at her debut rehearsal! Oh oh uh oh oh!

Better than that! Persuade your teacher and classmates to tune the school's PCs on the stream from Baku. All the class together singing with Valentina!

Well I have an hour free now so let's see if she delivers the goods in time ^_^
For anyone who hasn't seen it yet
Look at the screen in the bottom left and you can see how it'll look on TV too
It was actually first video that I mostly checked from that screen in the left side.
Loreen screen video is another important thing.
Back to Valentina. She has got really great vocals! But this one to final...I dont know xD

Is she allowed to carry a notebook with the Apple logo on stage?
After all the fuss with the "Facebook" advertisement in the text, she's trolling EBU again.
Her performance in Amsterdam, however, seems more "energic" than this to me.

Hmmmm...
Let me first say that this is just the first rehearsal, so it could be (from what I've noticed in previous years) far away from what the performance on the actual Eurovision night(s) will look like. I don't take first rehearsals too seriously, for me the second rehearsal is much more important.
Valentina can sing live very well, it's really a pleasant surprise (again). Especially since she's doing all the dance moves simultaneously.
-But I don't know what to think of the overall dance performance. There seems to be a lack of dynamics on the stage, it's almost too stationary. I wish they could bring more schwung, vibe, energy to it. A very simple solution for this is to move away (Valentina + background dancers) to a different spot on the stage, right after the first or second chorus, and then near the end of the sond move back to the position where they started. It's a very simple trick to create dynamics in your performance.
-The blonde male dancer/background singer can't move. His body simply can't swing.
-I don't really like the electric guitar on the girl on the right side. The guitar simply doesn't fit this song at all.
And I don't quite like the cheerleader thing that the girl on the left side is holding. That is such a weird attribute, it doesn;t fir the song, I really don't know what it is doing there.
Instead the two girls could hold two dummy (fake, empty) laptops/netbooks/tablets in their left hand (or they could even attach the dummy laptops/tablets to their hands/arms, to make it easier for them). This is much more consistent with the song and also because both the two girls have the dummy laptop/tablet, it creates symmetry on the stage.
I would've loved to see a bed on the stage where Valentina starts singing, from behind her laptop and then ascends from it just before or during the first chorus.
The LED backdrop looks really nice.
But again, this is just the first rehearsal, so there's still time to improve.

I don't think they could let her bring that "Apple" on the stage.
..but It'd be quite disappointing if they just hide the logo during the show, without finding an escape to troll the contest again.
Valentina should act the same way she did with the song's title, changing the original logo with a fake one that lets everybody understand what it really means.
It would be great if they'd replace the "Apple" with a "Banana" or something..........so style.

Mass hysteria on the streets of Baku.
What are the people in Baku doing? They are running scared!

I am positively surprised! I liked the song initially, but it looks like a complete package on stage. Great background, simple but effective staging, she sings well and on top of that she sells it!! Great job San Marino! I hope you qualify!
