Rehearsing right now inside the Expo Tel Aviv is Tamara Todevska, performing โProudโ for North Macedonia. We will continue to update this article as each run through takes place, so make sure to keep refreshing for the most up-to-date review!
Firstly, remind yourselves what happened in the first rehearsal:
And now here is what weโve noticed in todayโs second rehearsal:
We have limited changes for North Macedonia in this second run through, suggesting the delegations are rightly pleased with their activities on Tuesdayโs first rehearsal. Rather than mirrors, we now notice that North Macedoniaโs โmirrorsโ are actually LED screens. This is only because one moment Tamara was slightly out of sync with them.
The ending of the performance sees Tamara in complete darkness with a light on just Tamara. The camera then zooms out to reveal Tamara as a little figure in the distance which looks very effective. Tamara continuously looks at the camera which is beneficial for North Macedonia.
The final run through sees the lighting return for the end of the performance so perhaps this was just a good-looking technical error!
As soon as the official Eurovision YouTube channel uploads a video of todayโs second rehearsal, we shall embed it right here for you to watch!
