Tuesday 11 May and the rehearsals started for the second 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 15th report from the first rehearsals of semi final two – that of Latvia.

Samanta Tina from Latvia has a strong voice and appearance. But the song does not appeal to the ESC Covers panel that much. Samanta is wearing a long green dress. Her backing vocalists are also in dressed in green. In the backdrops we see  lava-like figures. Is this a case of the moon is setting rather than rising?
