Lithuania, Albania and Switerland take to the fantastic Belgrade stage for the afternoon session of Eurovision Song Contest second semi final rehearsals in Serbia.
Song 5 – Lithuania – Jerominas Milius – Nomads in the Night
Jerominas sings along on the stage to present his entry Nomads in the Night. He sings with conviction and emotion, whilst making a strong connection with the camera. He ends up on his knees to deliver the last line of the song. Dry ice and strobe lighting are used for effect at the end of the song, although this presentation is relatively free of gimmicks.
Song 6 – Albania Olta Boka- Zermën e lamë peng
Olta delivers a very simple and pleasant version of her song on the Eurovision Song Contest stage. She performs with a three piece band consisting of two guitarists and a pianist. She has a delicate quality to her voice which picks up the haunting melody of the song perfectly. Floating pink hearts are displayed on screens behind Olta. Again this is a relatively gimmick free performance with the camera focusing on close up pictures of the singer.
Song 7 – Switzerland- Era stupendo
Husky voiced Paolo performs on stage with a pianist and two male and two female singers and dancers. For the slow section of the song he stands alone at the front of the stage, and is later joined by hiscompanions on stagefor the up-tempo section. The dancers perform a transitional dance routine for this song with plenty hand wavingand finger clicking.
