Today the third day of the rehearsals started, 9 countries performed for the first time on the Eurovision stage. As a tradition also this year the accredited press (in the press center and via live stream) were be asked to give their votes for the best act. Do you agree??
Today we have watched another 9 first rehearsals at Day 3. In our opinion Greece, Iceland and Austria impressed the most, all in a completely different way. Greece because of the graphics, Austria because of the vocals, and Iceland because of the typical but outstanding performance. Most dissapointing rehearsals: Estonia
As expected, the ladies of Hurricane appear on stage in cozy romping outfits. the expectation was that the dance would make more of an impression than the singing. It didn’t. The ladies proved that they can sing quite well, and hopefully they will take a few more dance lessons.
Daði Freyr with band Gagnamagnið are obviously dressed in their trademark; the well-known sweater with an image in pixels. The rehearsal went smoothly, including the somewhat uncomfortable dance steps and motor skills, which is all part of the act. Mission accomplished for Iceland.

Natalia Gordienko takes the stage in a pearl-colored dress, which occasionally looks pink due to the lighting. She is assisted by 4 dancers in black. This makes Moldova not the first country to have 4 dancers in the lead, while the backing vocals are on tape. Natalia certainly stood out
Rafał Brzozowski appears on stage in black wearing dark sunglasses, flanked by 4 dancers in white. The visual effects, as well as the vocals and act seem messy. Poland still has some work to do. In Cooperation with Eurovision Artists Photo Credits: EBU
Vincent Bueno is dressed in black with a black glitter jacket. The staging is sober and fits the song perfectly, suggesting that he is standing on a large bridge. Vocally, he more than lives up to expectations. In Cooperation with Eurovision Artists Photo Credits: EBU
Stefania is wearing a purple silver jumpsuit, which is reflected in the graphics. A spectacular show was announced in advance, and the high expectations were fully realized.
Benny Cristo appears in a gold bomber jacket, with bleached hair, flanked by 4 dancers. The graphics are quite busy, which apparently makes something else happen on stage. Vocally, he seems to hold back very much and not give everything. He had also announced this in advance. In Cooperation with
We see singer Uku Suviste in front of a luminous white circle, in a white shirt and loose tie. The graphics show a dark cloudy sky and lightning bolts. Typically Dutch weather. The whole act looks sober and modest. The vocals are quite unstable, especially in the low tones.
