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 eighth report from the first rehearsal – that of Norway.

After the demons from Cyprus, we were expected angels, but instead we got even more demons from Norway. Tix is not only fighting his demons, but after the rehearsal ended he was coughing. The performance is overall the same as in Melodi Grand Prix, except instead of 6 backing dancers, there are now just 4 due to the 6 on stage restrictions.
