Francesco Gabbani will represent Italy at the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest with Occidentali’s Karma. He is the hot favourite to win the contest this year and today he had his first rehearsal and later had a meet and greet with the press.
He was in a jolly and buoyant mood and was asked to demonstrate the choreography with the monkey on stage for fans.
It was also revealed that Francesco’s brand new album has gone straight to number one in the Italian charts today.

Joe & Jake gave their first rehearsals for the United Kingdom in Stockholm for their song You’re Not Alone. The guys seemed confident and gave a good performance. However, speaking at the meet and greet, Jake was taken by surprise a little with the pyrotechnics in the final run through. He said his eyebrows were almost singed.
The song has an anthemic feel with a strong production. It would be nice if the UK made it to the left side of the scoreboard in 2016.
