The fifth day of rehearsals is now over with the second rehearsals of Ireland, Andorra and Bosnia & Herzegovina. You can read the reviews below from the rehearsals and later today, our media partner, 12points.tv will provide video footage.

Song 11: Ireland – Dustin the Turkey – Ireland Douze Points

In today's rehearsal Dustin is dressed in a white glitter outfit and is joined on stage with a couple of half naked male dancers, two female dancers and his shopping trolley pusher, who are all dressed in the colours of the Irish flag. This is another mad and funny performance from the Irish turkey.

Song 12: Andorra – Gisela – Casanova

Gisela delivers a fun filled performance of her infectious pop song Casanova on the Eurovision Song contest stage. Her performance is full of energy and she along with her four backing singers are obviously enjoying themselves on the stage. Today she dressed in gold and black. She makes full use of the stage including the catwalk which is used towards the end of the routine. A fun and bubbly performance from the Andorran team.

Song 13: Bosnia & Herzegovina- Pokusjai

The final rehearsal of the day has Laka presenting another eccentric performance of Pokusaj. Laka is joined on stage by four female backing singers wearing full bridal costumes and his sister Mirela who provide an energetic and amusing routine.


Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain. I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
