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: Finland

Road to Vienna: Finland As the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in Vienna approaches, we continue our daily spotlight on this year’s contestants. Today, we focus on Finland.​ Linda Lampenius & Pete Parkkonen Linda Lampenius: Violin Star Across Genres Linda Lampenius grew up between a theatre family in Helsinki and a farm in Lapinjärvi. At age five, she chose the violin, and by eight she was already touring internationally with the Helsinki Strings. Her early television appearances, combined with a scholarship, highlighted both her strong classical training and natural stage presence. Studies and International Career Lampenius studied at the Sibelius Academy and performed with the Finnish National Opera Orchestra before launching her solo career. Soon, her work expanded internationally, including collaborations with Andrew Lloyd Webber and major orchestras. Pop, Classical and Media Success Lampenius broke into pop with her 1997 debut and achieved global classical success with Linda Brava (1999), released by EMI Classics. Over time, she continued blending styles while building a media career through shows like X Factor Finland and Let’s Dance. Pete Parkkonen: From Idols to Finnish Pop Star Pete Parkkonen grew up in Pihtipudas, Finland, where music was part of everyday life. He began as a drummer but switched to singing as a teenager after stepping in for a missing band vocalist. That unexpected moment shaped his path, leading to experience in bands and live performances. Breakthrough with Idols and Chart Success Parkkonen rose to fame in 2008, finishing third in Idols Finland. His debut single “Girl In a Uniform” became a hit, while his first album The First Album (2009) reached number one in Finland. Follow-up releases and TV appearances quickly established him as a major new artist. Finding His Sound and Expanding Career After early English-language releases, Parkkonen shifted to Finnish pop with hits like “Mitä mä teen,” featuring JVG. He also gained wider attention by winning Dancing with the Stars Finland and Tähdet, tähdet, proving his versatility. Continued Success and Media Presence In later years, Parkkonen released multiple hit singles and the album PETE (2018). He remained a strong presence in Finnish pop, including appearances on Vain elämää, where he showcased his range across different musical styles. Liekinheitin: A Story of Passion and Emotional Conflict “Liekinheitin” explores intense desire mixed with emotional instability, focusing on a relationship driven by chemistry rather than balance. Passion Without Stability The track highlights a powerful physical connection that feels exciting and addictive. At the same time, that intensity brings risk, as the volatile dynamic suggests emotional harm is never far away. Mixed Signals and Inner Conflict Contradiction plays a central role. The connection feels real in private but distant in public, creating confusion. This push-and-pull dynamic keeps the narrator emotionally invested, despite the lack of clarity or security. A Story of Temptation and Risk Ultimately, “Liekinheitin” portrays a toxic yet irresistible bond, capturing the tension between logic and desire—choosing passion even when it may lead to pain.           Finland in the Eurovision Song Contest Finland has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 57 times since its debut in 1961. They never made it to the top-5 until 2006. The country achieved its only victory in that year with Lordi‘s “Hard Rock Hallelujah.” The bookmakers Finland has been dominating the bookmakers’ odds for weeks, firmly holding the number one spot. Could this be the year they secure their second victory in Eurovision history?
