Time flies when you're having fun so we're already on the last song before the lunch break - Belgium's Blanche with City lights. I'm curious if there have been any improvements as the first rehearsal was not that appreciated to put it nicely.

She's on stage already wearing a long white dress with butterflies on it, could again be seen as a wedding dress but this time even more than with Albania - and they're going to be right after each other!

Starts with a dark stage, but very quickly white spots and visuals on her and moving all through the hall, which immediately gives the idea something is happening. It keeps on looking nice in the hall all through the song, but she's still standing there solid as a rock with hardly any movement, except that of her arms. Also the vocals are not that great during the first run, before the key changes when she sings in a high pitch and afterwards it sounds completely painful. The end of the song comes very sudden.

The camerawork for Australia has much improved from first rehearsal. The turning platform is cut out most of the time. More close ups but he is not finding the camera in all of them yet.

Isaiah is on stage now and just did the first run of the song. Until the visuals start on the led-screen behind the stage, there is actually no atmosphere in the hall at all as it's completely dark. Another thing that can't be noticed from the visuals the way it will be shown on tv is that almost during the entire song there is one or more images of him on those led-screen, which is really too much for me. It's distracting for who's in the hall and might get people to focus on the wall instead of on the singer on stage, but then, could that be what they want?

Other than that, Isaiah sounds fine and I don't notice major changes from the first rehearsal.

Still a pyro curtain and fountains during the last chorus on the still run. From the hall it looks redundant, but I can imagine on screen it might just be a nice extra touch..

All good
No dramas apart from the OMG moment when Albania and Australia swapped....stop the press huge drama :-)

Lindita is also wearing a cape, but a white hooded one. She holds that long note very easily. How does she do it?

First of all, once again the rehearsals 3 and 4 in the running order are switched, so that we are first heading to Albania. In the semi-final itself it will still be Australia first, and that can only benefit Albania as coming after Georgia certainly won't do them any favour.

Lindita is wearing what almost looks like a silvery glitter wedding dress, veil included, and the arches behind her initially add to t hat feeling. Obviously the veil goes off soon enough. Just all around under her shoulders the dress, or rather top, has some frails on it, I'm not liking that it all.

Now I have to say I don't remember whether the backings were on stage during the first rehearsal, but they are now, in the back and in black.

Vocally good performances from Lindita, she's still doing the high screechy notes she introduced a few days ago, but this time without awkward silences after it so it all comes across a lot better, from the hall that is at least.

I also think the whole backdrop is strange, I know it's from the video but already there I find it really does not say anything about the song, the visuals would fit better to a different song and vice versa.

Some final words after seeing the third and last performance for her today - it also has a lot of dry ice which makes the wedding almost turn into a spooky graveyard. Sometimes less is more...

All in all I think the main merit of this song is Lindita's vocals. I'm not to fond of any of the rest of it.
