Molly impresses at 1st rehearsal

Molly and co. arrived in Vienna from Dublin yesterday morning and so far the reception to her song has been very positive with wiwibloggs.com writing, "Molly Sterling doesn’t need a wind machine or a sea of pyrotechnics: She has a voice, a piano, and a song that finds power in its subtlety. Her first rehearsal at Eurovision 2015 had the press corps clapping and gave me some major tingles."

As at the Irish national selection she sits on a piano singing with soul well beyond her years.But rather than coming off as a teenager at a piano bar, she’s now the goddess of a glorious LED forest. It’s bathed in a golden light and Molly, wearing black leather and lace, is its queen. Perhaps our readers — who have this down as a favourite to win the first semi final — aren’t so crazy after all. In this case less really is more! Molly's performance was ranked as the 2nd best of the day yesterday finishing just below Norway in a Press Centre poll. It's a very encouraging start for the Irish teenager.
