Another day at the press centre has just begun with the Greek rehearsal. Already the first runthrough got a modest applause from those present in the hall and I have to say it looks really good indeed. Demy's wearing a long golden dress and focuses mostly on her vocals.
She starts alone on stage against blue sparkly background. During the chorus she steps on a platform that then rises up and dancers appear to join her and the colour scheme changes into golden. Lots of great visual effects of water everywhere. Maybe a reference to the original lyrics of the song 'rain falls from above'?
Especially during the verses she sounds great, later in the song could be a bit of an issue.
After having seen 2,5 runthroughs (as part of the last one wasn't shown on screen) I would say that Greece can do very well this year. One thing that needs to improve is the vocal mix as the backings make it all sound off key instead of improving. All in all, a great start of the day!
