Greece
Kalimera from the island of Cyprus, where the second set of rehearsals
began as of 09:00 CET. Stay tuned for the complete report from the
rehearsals at the Spiros Kiprianou Palais De Sports in Lemesos.
ROMANIA The Romanian entrants began their rehearsal very well and
there is no technical mistake. The song might do better than most of
us believe. The girls will wear clothes that represent a season. The
Romanian delegation wish they do better than the predictions. In the
meantime some postcards shown adn we see that there has been done a
great job based on Cyprus history, kids participation and very good
graphic work.
ARMENIA The Armenians are rehearsing with their clothes which are
colourful and combined with the hands. Monica gives one more good
performance and the lights are better this time.
BELARUS The Belarusian comments are made allong with Yorgos Ioannides
the 2007 Cypriot representative in Junior Eurovision Song Contest. The
Belarusians are wearing very nice outfits in light blue and white
colours. The overall outcome is simply superb and the song will get
us up but still vocally there seems to be something wrong. The camera
work also amazing.
RUSSIA Even Mikhail seems to be very dissapointed from his performance
which has nothing to do with the first rehearsal. The rehearsal
stopped as he didn't manage to get the high notes. The rehearsal
continued really bad as his voice seems to be tired. The camera work
is very good on this song too and Mikhail although sweet, failed to
sing properly even in his 4th attempt.
GREECE >>From the very first moment the Greek entry gets very negative
comments by the foreign press representatives. We disagree not for
any other reason, but it seems that the song will be lost among the
other entries. Greece comes after a powerful and ambitioned to win,
Russia and before Georgia which is clearly the favourite. During the
peak of the song the vocal performance sounds nice as the two voices
(leading and backing) are well combined. The camera sequence and the
lights are average while the outfits are reminding us what Celin Dion
was wearing in 1988 Eurovision Song Contest - in a JESC edition though!
GEORGIA There are 3 little faces that are loved by everyone here. This
entry is amongst the favourites of press and fans, and it is indeed
the most original song this year in Junior Eurovision. When we see
the song from the monitors we see something very good. The Georgian
entrants must have learnt all other entries as waiting to go on stage
there where singing them and the entire stadium was listening!
BELGIUM The Belgian rehearsal went very smoothly. It is clear that
the song is very good but it is also clear that the televoting will
not help Oliver. The only thing that can save Belgium actually is the
jury voting. The lights, the staging and the performance in addition
with the perfect camera work surely boost it hight. Oliver seems
quite focused and professional. Well done Belgium!
BULGARIA At 14:00 local time (13:00 CET) the Bulgarian representatives
got on stage. The performance was average and was very poor even to
what we have seen yesterday. Maybe they are tired. The outcome was poor
though and definitely cannot seek a top 5 if they perform like that.
SERBIA Maja gives a very strong performance and she looks
beautiful. Those been in the arena were charmed from the beauty. The
performance is strong.
MALTA Once again a confident Daniel gives a more confident performance
this time. Judging from the history of voting distribution in JESC
though, we can hardly see points for this song, although it's a very
descent entry.
NETHERLANDS The Dutch song is very interesting but the outfits are
not proper for this song. If they change them, then they might
do something. The overall outcome is not working fine on TV and
Netherlands doesn't need much effort to fail because they usually
do. We hope the delegation to get some sense in the team.
UKRAINE Most of us are almost sure this is the winning song,
this year. Victoria's performance is simply amazing and the tune,
the choreography along with the camera work show that this is the
2008 winner.
LITHUANIA Much better than yesterday, Lithuanian entry is now
considered amongst the press and media representatives as one of the
good songs of the contest. Lithuania will a tuff luck might surprise
us but again Georgia, Ukraine and FYR Macedonia try hard to take
the trophy.
FYR MACEDONIA Despite the poor performance yesetrday we have found
out that last night Bobi was admitted to the hospital. In today's
rehearsal he was instructed to use his voice as little as possible
therefore he made 2 out of 4 singing performances. He managed to
be totally professional. Yesterday and today are two different
rehearsals. Right now FYR Macedonia can actually win, battling most
likely with Georgia and Ukraine.
CYPRUS Last but not least, the host country, Cyprus. The song remains
wonderful and catchy kid tune and there are perfect light and camera
work, adjustments. What we are all worried here with, is that there is
no one to vote for Cyprus. We hope European viewers will appreciate
the performance. After all CyBC is about to put up a show, which
already is considered by the press and media representatives as the
best ever JESC edition made for EBU.
So folks, that's it from the island of Aphrodite. We are awaiting
some rehearsals for the opening of the show which will include the
UNICEF song. Stay tuned with oikotimes.com.
