How did Greece's first rehearsal go?

Freaky Fortune teamed up with rapper RiskyKidd for their uptempo danceable 'Rise Up' entry, winning convincingly their national final for Greece in March. They've promised us to rise up. Find out how their first rehearsal went.

The Greek performance starts with the LED frame slowly lighting up in a white colour, starting from the bottom.
There are some really great close up shots for RiskyKidd and Nikolas, who's celebrating his 23rd birthday today.

The Greek entry this year has, as many others, been given an overall blue back drop in which rectangular shapes are thrown in. These shapes range from white to grey colours. I'm not entirely sure, whether that back drop is the right type for 'Rise Up'. It looks a little too dark in my opinion, while Rise Up is in fact a very happy and cheerful song, which to me should involve different colours.

Again there are some fantastic shots from across the hall, zooming in on Nikolas and Riskykidd as they both use the catwalks to go the the smaller stages near the green room and audiences. Vocally both guys sound absolutely brilliant.

In the last minute and a half, we go back to the main stage where a trampoline has been added. A gymnast is jumping around until Nikolas and Riskykidd join him for the final chorus. The final shot consists of the three guys, laying on the mat while the camera zooms in on them from above.

I'm a little bit unsure why producer Theo is only getting a few minutes of screen time. A few shots of him, spinning the table would be great too.

Great great energetic performance. I reckon this is going to go down very well with the audience in the hall and the people watching at home.
