Sunday 9 May and the rehearsals started for the second bunch of songs from semi final one. ESC Covers have on line accreditation and a team of reporters will follow it in shifts and report for us. Here is the thirteen report from the first rehearsals of semi final one – that of Azerbaijan.

It is quite steady performance from Efendi. She has a good voice. The dance moves needs a little bit of fine tuning here and there. As expected the theme on stage is very oriental. We see a large snake appearing behind Efendi.
