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: Poland

Road to Vienna: Poland As the Eurovision Song Contest in Basel approaches, we continue our daily spotlight on this year’s contestants. Today, we focus on Poland. Alicja Szemplińska: Poland’s Pop and Soul talent Alicja Szemplińska, born on 29 April 2002 in Ciechanów, Poland, is a talented singer and songwriter known for her powerful and emotional voice. She began singing at a young age, taking lessons at a local community centre and performing in a church choir. By the age of 12, she was already receiving professional vocal training, shaping her style with influences from pop and soul music. Breakthrough and Career Beginnings Alicja first gained national recognition in 2016 after winning the TV show Hit, Hit, Hurra!, earning training with renowned vocal coach Seth Riggs. Her career took a major leap in 2019 when she won The Voice of Poland. Soon after, she signed with Universal Music Polska and released her debut single “Prawie my,” which quickly gained over one million views. Growing Presence in Music and Media Beyond talent shows, Alicja has built a strong presence in Poland’s music scene. She has performed at major televised events and festivals, including the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2020. In 2022, she expanded her career by hosting the radio show 21 grams of soul. She also recorded “Stick Together,” the official song for the 2023 Men’s Handball World Championship. Major Achievements and Debut Album By her early twenties, Alicja had already won three major Polish talent competitions, highlighting her rapid rise. In 2024, she released her debut album Nie wracam, marking an important milestone and establishing her as a serious recording artist in the Polish pop industry. Eurovision Journey: From 2020 to 2026 Alicja was originally selected to represent Poland at the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 with her song “Empires,” but the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite this setback, she continued developing her music career. In 2026, she made a successful return by winning Poland’s national selection with her self-written song “Pray.” This victory secures her long-awaited debut on the Eurovision stage in Vienna, confirming her growth as both a performer and songwriter. Pray: Faith, Freedom, and Self-Empowerment A Powerful Story of Growth Pray is a deeply emotional track that blends vulnerability with confidence. The song explores personal struggle, spiritual reflection, and the journey toward self-belief. It tells the story of an artist learning to grow, take control, and embrace independence. Searching for Freedom and Inner Peace At its core, “Pray” is about finding freedom—emotionally and spiritually. The artist feels incomplete and searches for meaning and balance. Faith plays a key role, creating tension between doubt and hope. Prayer becomes a way to cope, heal, and stay grounded. From Insecurity to Confidence As the song develops, the message shifts from self-doubt to empowerment. The artist begins to reject outside expectations and defines success on their own terms. This transformation highlights a relatable journey toward self-worth and authenticity. The Reality Behind Success “Pray” also reflects the pressure that comes with ambition. Even with growing confidence, challenges remain. The song shows that success is not perfect—it requires resilience, persistence, and strength. A Bold Message of Independence By the end, the artist takes full control, expressing confidence and determination. Faith remains a central theme, driving both personal and artistic growth. Poland in the Eurovision Song Contest Poland made its Eurovision debut in 1994 and achieved its best result that year, finishing second with Edyta Górniak‘s “To nie ja!” Since then, the country has participated numerous times, with varying degrees of success. They never made it to the top-5 again. Ich Troje was the most succesful group with “Keine Grenzen – Żadnych granic” in 2003.  The Bookmakers Poland is currently ranked 30th with the bookmakers—meaning a spot in the final seems unlikely… but who knows? It’s Eurovision, baby!
