Today sees the second rehearsals of the automatic qualifiers to Saturday’s grand final; the Big 5 and Sweden. We here at ESCToday are ready to bring you the latest news live from the arena itself.

Jamie-Lee was next to take to the stage at the Globe Arena this afternoon, wearing the same outfit as that from the first rehearsal.

Jamie-Lee starts off with her standing behind a couple of trees which are placed onstage, before she walks towards the front of the stage. A forest theme appears on the backing LED screens, bringing a fairytale-feel to the performance. During the first chorus, green lasers shine out of the trees and remain throughout the rest of the performance. For the final chorus, Jamie-Lee walks down the catwalk where she finishes the song. The singer is joined by 4 backing vocalists, all of whom are wearing black kimono-style outfits.

Check out Germany’s second rehearsal below!
