All the bad comments on  Blanche her first rehearsal are killing me, I always feared this scenario and now its real  I hope RTBF will take a look again at the things that have gone wrong today (btw the 30 seconds clip was not that bad imo, but I guess the whole performance on tv was  ) and that everything will be fine before next tuesday or I will get so nervous I will faint before the results are even announced  To be honest, I have never been a fan of the Belgian entry and it's not even in my TOP 30 this year but I reckon it's a fan fave and this is indeed the reason people expect Blanche to do something spectacular on stage. However, since the song and the music video create a more "mystifying" feeling, I guess that this is exactly the atmosphere that the Belgian delegation wants to deliver to the viewers. This can not be done just by a 30-seconds video and especially since it's only 1 shoot  I guess that a good camerawork and the switching scenes that we'll see on TV will be the ones to create this ambiance and eventually it will turn out to be a good result for you  Just like in 2014, when  The Netherlands came  2nd but the close-ups of the camera were the ones to actually make this performance look appealing; if you watched it from 1 camera located in the middle of the stage or even below it (just like in those eurovision.tv rehearsal clips) it would look weird and boring but people who had seen the full performance in the press area where very dissapointed ;( |

Well so far Belgium looks like the opposite of what I wanted. I wanted a dark, mysterious staging and a confident Blanche but for now it looks like Blanche is standing helplessly in front of a background that is too bright and overloaded imo. I really hope the performance looks better in the verses because he really vocals were good but not strong enough to save her in case of a bad performance  of course it's not only about the performance, but for now I'd say she'll have problems with qualifying And I don't even mind the fact that she's standing still but it just doesn't fit to the background idk So far my favourite rehearsals were  Finland,  Australia and  Albania |

Don't think that our jury knows more Only Dimitris might know some things and that's all.But I am happy to see Vicky and Xenia as they are really good musicians. I really don't like Dimitris; for some reason his face makes me feel disgusted and annoys me lol Haha that reason why |

Just a small mention by the way; the vocal coach of the  Azeri delegation is  Alex Panayi who represented us in ESC 1995 |

Finland had by far the best rehearsal today imo, followed by  Belgium (yes) and Albania. Australia disappointed me tbh but I'm confident it'll look better on the two nights.  |

Totally agree that Australia was disappointing (at least from what we've watched and compared to Belgium) and that the best was Finland by far... According to the odds, Finland and  Georgia have risen and Belgium has dropped already by 2 places and they are expected to drop even more after tomorrow's rehearsals which will most probably give a good boost to some countries... |

I don't think Belgium should drop before a full rehearsal is out but meh Also, Georgia is the only sure NQ out of the countries that rehearsed today imo, not only because of what Bronson said before but also because of the meh visuals we saw today. |

) and that everything will be fine before next tuesday or I will get so nervous I will faint before the results are even announced 
Just like in 2014, when 
of course it's not only about the performance, but for now I'd say she'll have problems with qualifying
