The second day of rehearsals took place in Minsk for the 2018 Junior Eurovision –

ITALY – Very cute and a good chemistry on stage. Will appeal to many voters.

KAZAKHSTAN – A charming and talented singer. Looks great on stage.

MALTA – Very strong vocals from Ela. She is joined by three girls and one boy dancers. Great choreography also.

POLAND – Roxie performs very well and accompanied by dancers. Looks good.

PORTUGAL – Stand out show. Rita looks great and the lighting is perfect. Very good.

RUSSIA – Very confident on stage, colourful background. Anna is looking cool and casual in jeans on stage.

SERBIA – Beautiful voice of Bojana. She looks elegant on the stage dressed in white with a bow in her hair and blowing stardust.

THE NETHERLANDS – Sweet performance but somehow the chemistry does not quite work.

UKRAINE – Powerful message, powerful performance by Darina, who is on the stage with a megaphone.

WALES – An irresistible show from Manw and her dancers. A close camera shot begins the stage performance. Beautifully staged.
