Up next is Ann Sophie and Germany. Once again, there aren't that many changes from sunday's performance.
Ann Sophie's still singing the first verse of the song, with her back to the audience, although she is glancing over her shoulder a lot more now.
She's a very confident and consistent singer, Ann Sophie. The whole staging really works, it has something very James Bond like about it.
Yes I like this a lot!

Mike says his best interview this year was:
But we think this 40 minutes one was outstanding:
Il Volo just did their first run and there's a lot of improvement visible already. We're seeing a lot more camera angles first of all, but there's also a lot more dynamics going on between them.
Piero in particular is finding the camera's much better than in the first rehearsal.
Great improvement for Italy and a confident contender in my opinion.
