The Eurovision song contest 2013 is in full swing in sunny Malmö taken over by the butterflies. This morning is calm before the storm after last night's Opening party and before tomorrow's semifinal.....
Last night was the Opening ceremony with red carpet at Malmö Opera house that was a success. Scroll down this blog for exclusive photos. Robert managed to get almost everyone in photos. If some are missing, blame Krista Siegfrids and her Team Ding Dong. He might have been a little distracted by them but got some awesome photos. Another one we were waiting for impatiently and with all his army of fans in Italy was Marco Mengoni. And yes, we got some photos of him, too.
The rehearsals are mainly over. The semifinalists have rehearsed twice and today the First semifinal has it's two dress rehearsals, tomorrow third one and then it's the mometn of truth for them. The Big5+1 will rehearse again on Wednesday morning, and after that the Second semifinals will have their three Dress rehearsals toward the semifinal on Thursday night.
Tomorrow we will place our prediction and it seems to be harder than ever. Some pre-contest favorites haven't been maybe up to the expectations, some I didn't expect much have been very good instead and some performances.... Well, you know! I suspect we might be in for some major surprises, or will it go as predicted after all? You never know until the votes are in! That's the beauty of Eurovision! I have taken the editorial choice this year not to follow the other sites and blogs with the exception of eurovision.tv at all so I have no clue what the other are writing, reporting and predicting. I'll have a look when I have time next week! :-)
My Bicyckling Reporter Robert has been continuing his awesome job with indepth interviews with the stars and we've got 15 great interviews already and he hasn't stopped yet. The list and the links to them are on your right hand side panel. Updated as more interviews are posted.
There has been a lot of parties and more to come from San Marino to Nordic to Israel. Belarus once again had maybe the most extravacant one. Our pics and videos by OGAE Italy are here.
Fans have been partying out in EuroClub and EuroFanCafé and things are happening in EuroVillage as well. It's fun. It's Eurovision. And it isn't over yet! Stay with us!
