Rehearsal review

Firstly, remind yourselves what happened in the first rehearsal:

And now here is what we’ve noticed in today’s second rehearsal:

Bulgaria is here to dot the i’s and cross the t’s. They are paying great attention to the minor details in the song to make sure everything is under control. In terms of styling and lights, there’s not much you could change here to improve this performance. Her blue outfit, with pants and a jacket, works really well. The golden hue around her for the final chorus is beautiful in combination with her hair colour.

Interestingly, they’ve already worked on some details. On the first rehearsal, the picture she has on stage of herself and her father was not framed and sometimes just looked like a random piece of paper. This time, they’ve framed the picture to make it stand out more and make sure it’s an item to catch your eye. The sand with the hourglass idea is still gorgeous and almost looks like it’s a screen effect until she reaches for the sand and touches it.

There is some work to do for VICTORIA and her team. Some of the camera angles are a tiny bit out of place and need fixing. During one shot, we see the camera arm in there and when the smoke is being blown on stage, we can see the smoke machine. Minor details, but looking at what the Bulgarian team have already done – they will do that without issues.
