Rehearsals days - Spoiler Ahead

Hi guys, I'm surprised there's not a thread about the rehearsals. We can post images and thoughts about what's happening right now.

So Today, Cyprus, Montenegro, Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovenia, Finland have their first rehearsals.


So far Cyprus looked as expected as well as Hungary or Slovenia (very reminiscent of the NF)

Poland seemed to have found an original way to stage the song and Finland seemed to have lost its cube.

What are your thoughts so far ?

Re: Rehearsals days - Spoiler Ahead

Well out of my top 2 unsurprisingly I'm disappointed Finland didn't keep their national final staging and what they've replaced it with doesn't look too great anyway, they should have at least had Darude rise up from under the stage or something! Poland's rehearsal looks marginally more promising but it might just fail to qualify because of live vocals like Jestem, hope I'm wrong.

Cyprus is the best of the rehearsals today IMO

Also liked Poland's staging.

Re: Rehearsals days - Spoiler Ahead

From what I have seen, Poland and Slovenia seem the best. Cyprus, Finland and Czech Republic are good as well, but somewhat boring, tbh.

Re: ESC United - LIVE from Tel Aviv

Cyprus's staging is good as well now that I think of it, although not as pleasing as Eleni Foureira Tamta's outfit is kind of attractive as well!

Re: ESC United - LIVE from Tel Aviv

hey admins. You have moved my thread which is fine but could you change the name of this thread for a more explicit title to make more people engage with you ? (or just add the word rehearsal, sounds good to me)

"ESC UNITED LIVE From Tel Aviv" sound to me like "look at us" more than "interact with us - those are the informations/videos/pictures you're searching for"" . The first post from Sean seems very corporate . It's not engaging with your audience.

I don't really have time to watch your live right now (but I like it when I can) so It could be great to talk with you and others, have your opinions as well as others written in this forum. Engage and interact a little bit more with the forumers ? as well as keeping the livestream of course for the people that can watch you
