The team at ESCToday.com does not stop working in the host city of Vienna. More and more news come in and will be coming in live from the Eurovision scene. Rehearsals continue in the host venue, the Wiener Stadthalle, with performances from the automatic qualifiers; the ‘Big 5’, the host country and the guest country.

Ann Sophie, Germany’s representative, took over the stage and made it her own turf with a sexy and smart staging. She has the looks and she uses them perfectly. Her eyes are filled with passion and confidence. The staging, in one word, is attractive, as she showed us already in the national final.

Find out what members of the press centre thought of Germany’s first rehearsal here.
