First of the automatic qualifiers to perform tonight is Spain.
Blanca Paloma - Eaea
This is a cinematic masterpiece, vocals are incredible and the passion is so clear. Camera angles are clean and huge notes in the end. The crowd have gone WILD after that.

16. Serbia (Teya Dora - Ramonda)
A huge change of pace but one that goes down well. The vibe is totally unlike anything else in the final & you could hear a pin drop during the performance.
Bravo Teya Dora 👏🏼👏🏼

#Italy
The band are spread throughout the stage and have a distinct RED lighting aesthetic, lots of strobe lighting throughout and it creates huge impact! This gives me Queen vibes, powerful 1st rehearsal!

Our hosts Hannah Waddingham, Julia Sanina and Alesha Dixon are absolutely fantastic on stage - the jokes (particularly from Hannah) come naturally and many laughs from the crowd.

Song 11. Sweden 🇸🇪
Loreen - Tattoo
She’s definitely giving a winning performance of this song, the staging looks impressive even with the smaller blocks. Vocally great and the staging is still a wow moment.
#Eurovision
History in the making at the Ariston! I’m stanning Il Volo’s pop era - it shows off their individual talents so much better, and when you remember the subtext of the song, it’s so emotional. Stef Burns added the element of musical grandeur it needed, too.

Song 03. Serbia 🇷🇸
Luke Black - Samo Mi Se Spava
Game over! Luke is one hell of a performer. Mental, the is boss defeated and between his laughing and choreography this is an action packed performance. Sailing through to the final.
#Eurovision
Our first Sammarinese!!! Giada Pintori is a singer/songwriter and is on stage for the first time in 2 years and this is "the stage of [her] story".

18. Portugal (Iolanda - Grito)
This vocal is probably my favourite of the year. Absolutely stunning from start to finish. Has
@iolandamusic
ever hit a bad note? I severely doubt it!
#Eurovision
One final reminder… yes the fan favourite did not win but that DOES NOT give you the right to start sending abuse to Blanka or any of the other performers.
Be respectful & gracious in defeat. Good night!

21. Emma - "Ogni volta è cosi"
Francesca Michielin conducting is the best thing ever!
Emma sings absolutely flawless and she is definitely among the strongest vocalist tonight.
Not surprised she finished so high last night!
#Sanremo2022
A 90s rave he has delivered! The slick choreography, camera cuts and lighting together are a very strong package and the vocal itself is fantastic.
Very catchy song; could do really well in Liverpool if chosen!

If you’re a fan of drag queens or Jessie Ware you’re going to love the second interval act. The three drag queens are dressed up like the hosts and Hannah Waddingham did a great comedic introduction to this interval.

Another run through and it's even better, this feels so polished for a 1st rehearsal but retains the organic feel we fell in love with at San Remo. We have some pyro and flames now for the final minute, Wow! 🔥🔥🔥

Brunette - Future Lover
Wow!!! The aesthetic of this performance is incredible - vocally it was perfect, it looked slick and beautiful. The dance break had us shook! Amazing.
#Eurovision
Festivali i Këngës is one of just three remaining Eurovision NFs to use a live orchestra, which gives the songs a really unique sound, and will be made more unique by the fact we won’t have heard the studio songs. No prizes for saying what the other two are, but do have a go!
Which means the final
#NRKMGP
lineup is:
Alessandra Mele - Queen of Kings
Atle Pettersen - Masterpiece
Eline Thorp - Not Meant To Be
Elsie Bay - Love You in a Dream
Jone - Ekko inni meg
Skrellex - Love Again
Swing'it - Prohibition
Ulrikke - Honestly
Umami Tsunami - Geronimo
Song 15. Finland 🇫🇮
Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha
The crowd has gone WILD for this song. This feels like the Netta to Loreen’s Eleni Foureira. The whole performance is mental but looks so good. So much crowd cheering.
#Eurovision
I hope
@cyankicks
, Bess, Isaac Sene & the others aren't discouraged, what an amazing show and they have gained so many fans all across Europe!

REHEARSALS
Fan favourite Serbia took to the stage next, with Konstrakta's rousing rehearsal performance of "In Corpore Sano". Washing hands, towels and a high level of intensity all served up on that stage! 🇷🇸

Another HUGE reception as he takes to the stage. A strong, confident performance and he really knows how to work up the crowd. 👏🏼👏🏼

Song 08. Greece 🇬🇷
Victor Vernicos - What They Say
He is sounding really good, this can definitely qualify. He could do with calming it down a little bit but he’s really selling the performance. Surprisingly good.
#Eurovision
Slimane being more politically correct than ever - "I cannot pick one, all artists here deserve to win"...
No they don't...
