Israel Second Rehearsal
The vocals for Israel are a recurring issue. I don't understand why he isn't getting any vocal support. Imri sounds really fine in the verses, but the big notes together with the dance choreography simply don't work and the entire press centre recognizes this.

Now that Imri and his dancers are wearing their stage outfits it all looks a lot nicer. I still think the choreography could have been elaborated more as it's very basic now. On the other hand, Imri is already struggling with his vocals as it is. But as one of few real dance songs this year, it'll still stand out.
Estonia Second Rehearsal
I must say, Estonia is hilarious and entertaining. Not sure if that's the intention. For my report on the 1st rehearsal I focused on visuals like backdrop and lighting. This time I would like to leave a few notes on their facial expressions. What exactly are they doing? Koit is grinning at Laura who stares back at him, almost paralyzed. What is the narrative here? I do not know, but it's keeping me entertained from the moment he walks onto the stage. In the latter part he caresses her face, we didn't see that last time around. Does it work? I'm not sure, it's somewhere between cringe and cute.
Estonia second rehearsal
The second rehearsal for Estonia is not really going smoothly. Laura seems to be having some vocal problems today as she can barely reach her notes and there are also some missed camera shots.
In the hall as well on screen the theme of the song comes across as we don't see the singers together until the very end.
Lithuania Second Rehearsal
Fusedmarc's second rehearsal hasn't really given me any new insight.
The lead singer seems rather disinterested in rehearsing. I don't know if this is part of her performance style. Maybe the whole thing will come together with her showing more fire and passion when there is an audience in the arena.
