Bulgaria, Serbia and the Netherlands have just concluded their first rehearsals for the final of the 5th edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. Bonbon, Nevena and the Dutch trio Lisa, Amy & Shelley took the stage and gave their best.

The first three countries for today have concluded their rehearsal:

1. Bulgaria – Bonbon
In colourful costumes, the seven girls fromBonbon gave a great show with a catchy choreography for their song BonBolandia. This is Bulgaria's first time in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest and the girl's are set to make a good impression.

2. Serbia – Nevena
Nevena from Serbia is singing a ballad and she gave a powerful vocal performance together with her two dancers. Piši Mi, which means, Write To Me, is the only slow ballad of the show.

3.The Netherlands

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.
