Again with the interviews today thing's appear to be starting slowly, with a cancellation or two but I think it will end up being the same as yesterday with a bit of a manic afternoon.....

Austria's representative is without a doubt the most talked about artist of the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest. Will Conchita dazzle as much in the news with her first rehearsal, as she has done with her appearance? Find out what her first rehearsal was like.

Success for this totally depends on whether the juries buy it or not....
