The latest artist to rehearse for the second time is Iriao for Georgia. We have just watched their latest run through of For You live on screen and here is our initial reaction.

Staging

The three singers of Iriao are on stage and very calm. Not a lot movement going on. It fits perfect for the song. They walk about around and change positions, but most of the time they stand in one line.
Camera work is good. Not too many shots, which would not be good for the song. The main focus is on the three singers even though they are joined by one Keyboard-Player and a guitar player.

Camera shots in this performance: 38

Vocal

Vocals are on point! Sounds just like the studio version, which is a nice to hear after Australia.

Costume

All three wear a dark suit. They have a white shirt under it. Overall dark outfits.

To qualify or not to qualify?
