Posted May 1, 20196 yr Rehearsals start this weekend!Β I'm going to do my part of being a good shill and share the rehearsal schedule ESCXtra have drawn up. Very good for plotting out the times.Β If you're free to watch the rehearsals, also check out the livestream where Ryan and other ESCXtra team members who are on the ground in Tel Aviv will be broadcasting their thoughts xx I'll try and remember to post a link to that nearer the time.Β
May 3, 20196 yr Starts tomorrow morning! Oh lawd I'm blind sometimes. Someone on Reddit posted that it starts today so I just ran with it and didn't even look at the schedule :lol:
May 4, 20196 yr We stan a ruveal!Β Shame she didn't go for the wig reveal though. I "hoped" she would wear a big curly mane like Eleni only blonde, do a bit of hairography before the first chorus and then do a Roxxxy Andrews reveal for her own hair. :lol:
May 4, 20196 yr Author https://escxtra.com/2019/05/04/eurovision-d...-of-rehearsals/Β Press poll from day 1. Cyprus and Serbia coming through! There are full reviews for each of the rehearsals linked in that article xΒ
May 4, 20196 yr Author From what I hear there were problems with Montenegro (putting it lightly) and Poland as well, but definitely some preconceived biases going on there.
May 4, 20196 yr Who is voting for Finland in that press centre? I don't like to stereotype but I will.
May 4, 20196 yr Author I don't think Finland was that bad! I don't think there's a whole lot to get out of the song and they're doing it fine.
May 4, 20196 yr Cyprus aside, they got it unbelievably wrong last year. Slovenia only 19 points? Jog on...Β Edited May 4, 20196 yr by ScottyEm
May 4, 20196 yr Slovenia's staging doesn't seem a million miles from their EMA perf so it's understandable that the press/fans there won't be as wowed by it this time around. I'm sure it will hit when it matters.

I'm sure it will hit when it matters.Β A fair point. The odds have remained about the same for most acts, the only notable winners appear to be Czech Republic and Serbia. Montenegro and Finland appear to have suffered.
May 4, 20196 yr How did Czech Republic end up 3rd in that poll. He was STRUGGLING through the vocals and the performance
May 4, 20196 yr I don't get it. Like, I like Slovenia's song but I do find it a tad repetitive and dare I say boring? It's quite monotone the entire way through. The staging doesn't seem to improve on that at all but we've yet to see the final result so I'll hold my final judgement for now. But I'm not as sure it'll qualify like everyone else and could very well imagine it being the shock DNQ of SF1 even though it is in my list of preferred qualifiers.
