Day 6. Live Blog 2nd Rehearsals

Today we will follow the 2nd rehearsals again in Ahoy, and will keep you live informed  .                                               In Cooperation with: Eurovision Artists. Photo & Video Credits: EBU

14.45 – Serbia

Hurricane puts on an okay rehearsal again today. A bit smoother in dance, but a bit more unstable in terms of vocals. With a 25th place in the polls it could just be that we will see the ladies back in the final.

14.20 – Iceland

During the first rehearsal, Daði & Gagnamagnið already put down an act that was rock solid. The clumsy moveming and dancing … everything is part of the act, well thought out and perfected down to the last detail. Today they do that again. Singing and acting are rock solid. After the first rehearsal, they rose up to 5th place in the polls. They have a good thing going! Have we just looked at the winner of the festival?

13.55 – Moldova

During the first rehearsal, Natalia Gordienko (except for the vocals) came across as a bit uncomfortable and ot at ease. Her high heels in particular seemed to be playing tricks on her. Apparently hard work has been done in recent days. Great act, Natalia shines, and the vocals were again more than okay. With 22nd place in the polls, it should be possible for Natalia to qualify for the final.

13.30 – Poland

Rafał Brzozowski puts on a slightly more stable rehearsal today, a bit more organized and less chaotic. In terms of voice, he is by no means stable. With a 35th place in the polls, it doesn’t look like we will see Poland back in the final.

13.05. Austria

Vincent Bueno impressed during the first rehearsal, with his sober act and staging, which fits perfectly with his song. Today he does that all over again. No change in his act, it is rock solid. With a 26th place in the polls, it should be possible to get a place in the final.

11.40 – Greece

The Dutch-Greek Stefania surprised friend and foe with a spectacular act during the first rehearsal. Vocally  she stood firm in her high-heeled silver-purple boots. Today she admits some finishing touches. After the first rehearsal, she rose to tenth place in the polls. It is expected that her performance in the 2nd semifinal will certainly not be her “Last Dance”.

11.15 – Czech Republic

During the first 2 runs Benny Cristo appears on stage wearing glasses today. Act and clothing are otherwise the same. Although the vocals are fine, Benny does not convince. Is he still holding back for the live show? As it looks now with a 32 place in the polls, a final place seems a long way off.

10.50 – Estonia.

Uku Suviste sounds more stable in the second rehearsal. No changes in the act, sober and calm. Nothing wrong with that, but with a 36th place in the polls we do not see a place for Estonia in the big Final.

 

 

10.25 – San Marino

Also today the big question was: will Flo Rida appear on stage. The answer was again: No. Rapper Don Jiggy performed again on stage. It was striking that Senhit has a photo of Flo Rida in the icon she wears at the beginning of the act, and half way she shouts out to the audiance: “Hello Rotterdam, are you ready to Flo Rida with me?” Singing and dancing are fine again. With a 13th place in the polls, there is a good chance that San Marino will qualify for the final again

 

10.00 – Malta

Destiny appears onstage today in a different outfit. Silver colored top with pink stockings. The act has also changed. All this looks more dynamic than the first rehearsal. The vocals are again rock solid. Destiny received a lot of criticism after the first rehearsal, regarding her outfit, to which she countered sharply: THIS is exactly what my song is about: I do not have a size zero, but I wear what I feel good and okay in , and what YOU think about it: Je me Casse !!

With a second place in the polls, making it to the final will not be a problem … but will she win the contest?

Road to Vienna: Romania As the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in Vienna approaches, we continue our daily spotlight on this year’s contestants. Today, we focus on Romania.​ Alexandra Căpitănescu: Romania’s Pop-Rock Powerhouse Alexandra Căpitănescu was born on July 31, 2003, in Galați, Romania. While initially pursuing a degree in physics in Bucharest with ambitions of becoming a medical physicist, her passion for music quickly took over. At just 15, she gained national attention on Românii au talent (2019), impressing judges with a soulful Janis Joplin performance. Breakthrough on The Voice Romania Her major breakthrough came in 2023 on Vocea României (The Voice of Romania). Turning all four coaches during auditions, she joined Tudor Chirilă’s team and delivered standout performances throughout the season. Her powerful rendition of “Like a Prayer” became a highlight, leading her to win the competition in December 2023 and launch her professional career. Music Career and Style After her win, Alexandra signed with Universal Music Romania and released her debut single “Nu pot.” In 2024, she dropped her first EP Căpitanu’, showcasing a mix of pop-rock energy and emotional depth. Follow-up singles like “A ta,” “Arde,” and “Tare” further established her sound, while tracks like “Dilaila” and “Stea căzătoare” revealed her versatility.

The Meaning Behind “Choke Me” Despite its provocative title, the song is not about violence. Instead, “choking” serves as a metaphor for emotional pressure, anxiety, and inner conflict. The lyrics reflect the feeling of being overwhelmed by self-doubt, expectations, and personal struggles. At its core, the song tells a story of vulnerability and transformation—turning internal battles into strength. This emotional honesty gives the track depth and makes it highly relatable. Themes of Self-Love and Growth “Choke Me” ultimately delivers an uplifting message. It encourages self-acceptance and highlights the importance of facing inner fears. Alexandra transforms themes of anxiety and insecurity into a narrative of empowerment, showing that growth often comes through struggle. The Controversy Explained The song sparked online debate due to its title and intense imagery. Some listeners initially interpreted “Choke Me” as referencing sexual or violent themes. This led to confusion and discussion across social media. However, Alexandra Căpitănescu clarified that the meaning is purely symbolic. The song focuses on psychological pressure and emotional overwhelm—not literal actions. Once explained, many listeners re-evaluated the track and connected more deeply with its message.   Romania in the Eurovision Song Contest Romania first took part in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994. In the beginning, it was hard for Romania to do well. The first top-10 score was in 2002, when Monica Anghel and Marcel Pavel reached the 9th place. A very high score, 4th, was there for the afornamed Mihai. Two 3rd places were there for Romania: in 2005 (Luminița Anghel and Sistem even won the semifinal!) and for Ovi and Paula Seling in 2010. In more recent years Ilinca and Alex Florea became 7th with “Yodel it!”. The bookmakers Despite — or perhaps because of — the controversy about the song, Romania holds an impressive 8th place with the bookmakers. The real question is: how much higher can it go?
