Greece - 2nd rehearsal
Greece is opening this long day of rehearsals. The camera goes from the backing vocalists/dancers, to Katerine, and to the audience. It helps the performance flow, and it seems the stage director really got the essence of the song. I understand people who claim it's a bit kitschy, however, this one works, and as I said before it walks on a thin line, but make sure not to cross it. Katerine was very good vocally. There's a point where she does a high falsetto, which needs to be worked on, cause it doesn't sound quite right yet.
Australian party
Australian party took place at the outdoor venue Port 15 in Jaffa. Australian ambassador in Israel and Head of the Delegation Paul Clarke delivered their speeches, Kate Miller-Heidke performed two songs - among them the accoustic version of Zero Gravity - there were also guests from Poland, Estonia, Finland, and Sweden, who joined for the same photo.
Portugal - 2nd rehearsal
Conan Osiris 2nd performance seems to be a tad more engaging. It seems there are more movement and energy, with Osiris himself takes on a few delicate moves. The green outfits and the red video art remained the same, with a black terrace like frame. Conan sounds great, just like in every performance he gives. Unfortunately, this still seems to be a borderline qualifier...
