Now it is the turn of the Cyprus, FYR Macedonia and Portugal to take to the fantastic Belgrade stage for the third session of Eurovision Song Contest second semi final rehearsals in Serbia
Song 17: Cyprus – Evdokia – Femme Fatale
Evdokia from Cyprus brings on the stage same four male dancers sheused in the Cypriot national final and one additional male backing singer. They are doing a typical Greek cabaret dance where they dance around Evdokia focusing on her as the centre of their attention. Eventually she is lifted on toa table draped in red and afterwards the drapes are removed to reveal a large red carnation. Finally the artist steps back onto the stage stepping on the shoulders of the men. A spirited performance full of national character and pride.
Song 18: FYR Macedonia– Tamara, Vrcak and Adrian – Let Me Love You
Here we have a screen with three panels on the stage with a door in the middle. On each side you have pictures of Vrcak and Adrian. The focus is mostly on Tamara, while the boys keep going in and out the doors of the screen and contribute to the song by rapping. There are also three male dancers taking part in the youthful dance routine as Tamara gives a strong vocal performance. The song is completely in English.
Song 19: Portugal – Vânia Fernandes – Senhora do mar
Portugal has a very similar performance to the one we saw at their national final. The five backing singers give Vania's vocal performance of this anthemic song depth and they also perform a routine where they end up all together.
