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 12th report from the first rehearsals of semi final two – that of Portugal.

A stylish act by Portugal. We see an orchestra in the backdrop which gives this performance an exclusive feel. We get the feeling we are in jazz club. The voice of singer Pedro is nice to listen to. A first for Portugal to have the entire song in English.
