Miodio use a balletic female dancer, dressed in black and white who relates with the lead singer during the song without causing any distracting. The performance is relatively gimmick free and the strong vocal performance from the lead singer is the the selling point of the entry. The band are all dressed in black and white.
Song 6: Belgium – Ishtar – O Julisi
After an embarrassing moment early in the rehearsal as reported earlier, Ishtar pulled off a great second rehearsal.
