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: Portugal

Road to Vienna: Portugal We cannot wait for the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna. Therefore, we take a closer look at one of the contestants each day. Today, we highlight: Portugal Bandidos do Cante: Who are they? Bandidos do Cante are a Portuguese vocal group from the Alentejo region, formed by five childhood friends: Miguel Costa, Duarte Farias, Francisco Raposo, Luís Aleixo, and Francisco Pestana. Known for blending traditional cante alentejano with modern pop, the group has created a fresh, emotional sound that connects heritage with contemporary audiences. Early Beginnings and Breakthrough The group started informally in 2022, singing together at gatherings. Their breakthrough came after collaborating on the hit single “Casa” with D.A.M.A. and Buba Espinho, which gained massive radio play in Portugal. Originally called “Os Amigos do Alentejo,” they rebranded to Bandidos do Cante in 2023, marking a new chapter in their career. Hit Singles and Growing Popularity In 2024, they released their debut single “Amigos Coloridos,” which became the most-played Portuguese song on national radio. This success led to over 50 live performances and a rapidly growing fan base.Their 2025 follow-up, “Já Não Há Pardais No Céu,” strengthened their signature style and earned them a Best New Artist nomination at the Play – Portuguese Music Awards. Collaborations with artists like Diogo Piçarra further boosted their visibility. Debut Album and Musical Evolution Their debut album Bairro das Flores (2026) showcases eight tracks that merge traditional folk with modern production. Featuring artists like António Zambujo, the album highlights their artistic growth. A national tour, including sold-out shows in Beja, confirmed their status as one of Portugal’s most promising acts. Eurovision 2026 Journey They  won Festival da Canção , securing their place at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026. Their victory, driven by strong jury and public support, marked a major milestone in their rising international career. Rosa : A Poetic Story of Love and Saudade Rosa is a deeply emotional song about love, memory, and loss. The lyrics create a calm, reflective atmosphere, using nature and silence to evoke nostalgia. At its core, the song connects a past relationship to the image of a rose garden, symbolizing both the beauty of love and the pain of its absence. The Garden as a Symbol of Love The garden represents a once-thriving relationship. It was full of life, care, and emotion. Over time, however, it fades due to neglect, mirroring the decline of love.In the end, only the roses remain. These roses act as powerful symbols, keeping memories alive even after the relationship has ended. The Power of Saudade A key theme in “Rosa” is saudade, a uniquely Portuguese feeling of longing. It blends sadness with warmth and remembrance. The lyrics highlight this through images of a lover’s kiss and the idea of a loved one as the “most beautiful rose.”Even though the relationship is over, the emotional connection remains strong. Portugal in the Eurovision Song Contest. Portugal has been part of the Eurovision Song Contest since 1964, but its track record has been relatively modest. The country achieved its first, and so far only, victory in 2017, when Salvador Sobral won with the song Amar pelos dois. Despite limited success in terms of wins, Portugal is known for sending entries that highlight its rich musical identity. Its songs often blend traditional influences with modern sounds, offering something distinctive on the Eurovision stage. In recent years, the national selection Festival da Canção has played a key role in showcasing diverse genres and introducing new and emerging artists. The Bookmakers This year, confidence in the Portuguese entry is once again low. Currently sitting in 30th place with the bookmakers, it seems likely that Portugal will struggle to qualify for the final.
