Russia is the last act to perform, before we go on a quick break, but wauw, can I just say that Polina and her team are delivering a confident, no nonsense performance.
Polina's a professional, her vocal capabilities are unreal. It's like she's not even trying that hard. Really really impressed. She's wearing a long figure hugging silky white gown on which little drops are being projected at times.
What's so impressive with the Russian rehearsal is, is that Polina has not brought any props with her. She's solely relying on her vocals. She's joined by three backings and a drummer, all dressed in white, who are bringing that real stadium feel to 'A Million Voices'.
The backdrops as well are so cleverly sought out and they all work very well together.
Right now, Russia is walking over everything we have seen today. Qualifying should be dead easy and this is the first contender, for the top place coming May 23rd.
Russia, DOUZE POINTS!
