Second rehearsal review: Azerbaijan and Ukraine

Second rehearsal review: Azerbaijan and Ukraine

The first day of the second rehearsals are here! Let’s take a look what changes the delegations made to their performances.

Efendi takes the stage on fire during her second rehearsal at Eurovision 2021

The next country to perform was Azerbaijan. There were a few changes compared to the first rehearsal. They lowered the neckline of Efendi’s outfit. Also her make-up and hair has changed. They fixed some camera angels and focused more on Efendi. In one part the choreography has changed. The backdrop also has small changes, it’s more golden now rather than blue-pink and it includes some new graphics. The lightning has also changed. You see a part where Efendi is overshadowed by purple colors. At the end of the song pyro explodes and we see lots of quick shots. This is way better than the first rehearsal.

It’s time to go to Tschernobyl.

Ukraine was the last country to rehearse today. The main difference compared to the first rehearsal was that the lead singer did not attend today’s rehearsal as she self-isolated herself because she did not feel well. Instead, a stand-in singer did the performance for her. This was basically the same performance from the first rehearsal. Nothing to add here, it already looks amazing and is ready for the live shows.
