Firstly, remind yourselves what happened in the first rehearsal:

And now here is what weโ€™ve noticed in todayโ€™s second rehearsal:

Same as in the first rehearsal, Kobi stands on the stage amongst different shapes, which later show parts of the music video. At the beginning of the performance, the stage is dark with white highlights around the shapes and the stage.

Kobi is clearly emotional after every run and he gives his all to the performance. He works well with the backing vocalists and his voice sounds perfect on each of his runs.

I started watching Eurovision back in 2006, when I was only 10 and couldn't stay up to see Lordi winning. I attended my first contest in 2013 in Malmรถ. I'm studying journalism and I love music โ€” you will probably never see me without my headphones on.
