Sweden - First rehearsal
John Lundvik brings his soulful tune to Tel-Aviv and brings the house down. The performance is quite similar to the one in Melodifestivalen. There's a LED structure that shines in gold above him and looks like a small version of the screen that was used at the Melodifestivalen. The stage starts off dark and is filled with lights towards the end of the song, with the 4 backing female singers stepping in, wearing shiny silver outfits. There's an additional male backing vocalist, which is hidden. Jon wears a black shirt and black leather pants.
Austria - First rehearsal
PÆNDA's performance starts off in black and white. She stands in the center of the stage, surrounded by LED pillars. In the 2nd chorus, the screen changes from black and white to color. The stage is dark throughout the entire song with a burst of light towards the end of it. The Video art is mostly in silver. PÆNDA dressed in black plain clothes. She's really giving it all, with amazing vocals from both her and the backing singers, that are actually complementing each other. I see a final in her future.
Denmark - First rehearsal
Leonora takes the stage for her first rehearsal. It looks almost the same as in the national final. She's wearing a buttoned-up white shirt with suspenders. She sits on that huge chair with two backing vocalists on each side. They sit down throughout the entire performance. In the last chorus, two men join them and on both sides. So we have 5 people sitting, moving their bodies from side to side. The video art is very bright and sunny; There are big rays of the sun and later on white clouds with clear blue skies. The atmosphere is very bubbly, light and happy.
