Spain first rehearsal

We start with the camera approaching Alfred from behind who is wearing a nice brown suit. Then we get to see Amaia in a white jumpsuit - both very pretty. Amaia's suit is quite similar to SuRie's, so let's hope for the sake of both they will not be drawn one after the other.

Of course the whole staging is very sweet and sugary - the vocals seem to blend nicely together. I would only expect the stage to brighter to fit in nicer with the theme of the song and feel of the performance.

United Kingdom first rehearsal

SuRie is dressed in a white jumpsuit of which the top has some plastic accents on her waist. Her backing vocals are hidden on stage.

She stands and walks through some kind of tunnel with squares standing on its corner that provide all kinds of lighting effects and look really nice on stage.

As a first impression after just the very first run, vocally SuRie sounds best in the lower parts of the verses but gets a bit screechy when the melody is taken higher.

Portugal first rehearsal

We start with a mainly dark stage with some spots from behind on Cláudia. . The first part of the performance is mainly shot quite closely to the lead singer. Only in the second chorus when Isaura joins in the cameras zoom out.

Vocally it sounds quite ok but the early draw position (Portugal will perform as #8 in the final) - could harm the chances for a good result.
