Albania third rehearsal

First of all, once again the rehearsals 3 and 4 in the running order are switched, so that we are first heading to Albania. In the semi-final itself it will still be Australia first, and that can only benefit Albania as coming after Georgia certainly won't do them any favour.

Lindita is wearing what almost looks like a silvery glitter wedding dress, veil included, and the arches behind her initially add to t hat feeling. Obviously the veil goes off soon enough. Just all around under her shoulders the dress, or rather top, has some frails on it, I'm not liking that it all.

Now I have to say I don't remember whether the backings were on stage during the first rehearsal, but they are now, in the back and in black.

Vocally good performances from Lindita, she's still doing the high screechy notes she introduced a few days ago, but this time without awkward silences after it so it all comes across a lot better, from the hall that is at least.

I also think the whole backdrop is strange, I know it's from the video but already there I find it really does not say anything about the song, the visuals would fit better to a different song and vice versa.

Some final words after seeing the third and last performance for her today - it also has a lot of dry ice which makes the wedding almost turn into a spooky graveyard. Sometimes less is more...

All in all I think the main merit of this song is Lindita's vocals. I'm not to fond of any of the rest of it.
