The final dress rehearsal is now taking place at the Athinon Arena with Sakis Rouvas perfecting the act for tonight's Greek final. Earlier this afternoon the six guest artists rehearsed and this is what esctoday.com saw.

Chiara was the first to perform and her song What if we seems to be working wonderfully on stage.

Next to rehearse was Christina Metaxa from Cyprus. Dressed in an elegant, silver gown Christina is accompanied on stage by a five member teenage boy band. Although the performance is quite similar to the one we saw in the Cypriot final, there is a totally different Christina on stage, far more confident. Speaking with the Cypriot delegation we were told that this will not be the finalised staging for Moscow as this is currently being worked on.

Next to rehearse is Montenegrin Andrea Demirovic. Andrea will be alone on stage and she will be dancing while performing Get out of my life.

Petr Elfimov from Belarus followed, he performed the new version of Eyes that never lie, which is stronger than the one we heard during the Belarussian final, showcasing the full range of Petr's vocal abilities.

Then it was Hadise's turn to rehearse and we saw a very impressive performance by the Turkish entrant who although all alone she managed to fill the large stage dancing and interacting with the camera and the audience all through her act.

Last to rehearse was Jade, the British entrant. In front of an impressive starry, blue backdrop, Jade performed It's my time to perfection every single time.
