I will share all my thoughts and detailed reviews about the first rehearsals live from the digital press center on this thread below.

The LED content is changed,it is more purple-yellowish. The Roop also taked the camera at the end and walks with it. A lot of short cut camera shots

02. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇸🇮" title="Flagge von Slowenien" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Slowenien"> Slovenia: Veeery universal LED content. Very goldish. Ana also uses the catwalk and the transparent LED-screen which uses different landscapes. Amazing vocals, same outfit from the preview performance. Overall a great performance https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⭐️" title="Mittelgroßer Stern" aria-label="Emoji: Mittelgroßer Stern">

03. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇷🇺" title="Flagge von Russland" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Russland"> Russia: Manizha starts with a veeeeery oversized traditional costume and moves back and forward with it. Looks quite effective. She later comes out of it. After that not much is going on at the stage. Preferred the NF performance by far tbh.

(2/2) The LED content is very Russian. It includes statements like: “Be Creative, Be Strong, Be The First“. At the end you can see hundreds of woman on screen. I‘m disappointed I must say but hey it‘s only the first rehearsal. I miss the energy and attitude her NF performance had

04. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇸🇪" title="Flagge von Schweden" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Schweden"> Sweden | This is DEFINITELY qualifying. I was worried about Tusse‘s vocals but they were great. Staging is really similar to his Melfest performance but more gold-ish and more smooth. I LOVED this, the best one so far. This is already finished and ready for the live show

05. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇲🇰" title="Flagge von Mazedonien" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Mazedonien"> North Macedonia | It starts very black with the focus on Vasil. Some augmented reality effects appear on Vasils body.Later on he reveals his full costume where he has elements of Dotter‘s Bulletproof but it looks less affective than Bulletproof. #Eurovision #Eurovision2021

07. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇮🇪" title="Flagge von Irland" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Irland"> Ireland | Interesting staging. It starts very good but kinda ends really bad. They used the same concept as Silvan Areg has used in Destination Eurovision. A lot of trees and story telling elements. However the end was not quite the thinh yet. #Eurovision #Eurovision2021
