The first artist to rehearse today is Noam Dadon from Israel. We have just watched the latest run through of Children Like These. Now, let’s compare the differences between the first and second rehearsals!

First rehearsal recap

Second rehearsal changes

In comparison to the first rehearsal, we think the beginning of the performance has been slightly changed with the focus on the starry LED backdrop and the camera swirling around Noam creating a “floating in space” effect.

Noam now smiles at the camera at points throughout the song, showing his increasing confidence with the stage and his performance. Furthermore, as we reach the second and final chorus, we get a very long camera shot swirling around Noam before being bathed in gold lighting as soon as the chorus hits!
