Monday 10 May and the rehearsals started for the first bunch of songs from semi final two. ESC Covers have on line accreditation and a team of reporters will follow it in shifts and report for us. Here is the fifth report from the first rehearsals of semi final two – that of Austria.

A really good performance by Austria. He sings good, with feeling. The staging is kept simple but so effective. It concentrates mainly on Vincent and he can handle it with ease.  ESC Covers panel predict the final for Austria.
