During Iceland's press conference we were treated to a medley of past Eurovision hits by the multi-talented Sjonni's Friends. And Dino Merlin told us about his previous Eurovision experiences back in 1993 (Dino wrote Sva Bol Svijeta, and loved the orchestra in Millstreet) and 1999 (Dino sand Putnici with Beatrice, and had a great time but the venue in Jerusalem was much smaller).
From other rehearsals Hungary is sounding good, although we're not sure the stage presentation is quite as strong as it could be; the song's video is so good that it's a hard act to follow.
Austria is also gaining a lot of support. And, although the song doesn't really appeal to us, it has to be said that vocally Nadine is brilliant. We're expecting it to qualify now.
The day ended with a fan party at the Euroclub, where no fewer than 23 acts performed their songs.
Excitement is building today as the Big 5 enter the fray. Check back later for our thoughts.
