Sakis Rouvas Prevents Second Greek Tragedy 0

 

After collapsing onto his rear and nearly falling off a podium during his first rehearsal, Greece’s Sakis Rouvas returned to form on Saturday, delivering a solid rehearsal replete with the exaggerated voguing and synchronized body thrusts he and his backup dancers are known for.

Showing off his stomach, again

Sakis at Eurovision 2004

Sakis debuted his outfit—white trousers with a white shirt that exposes his chest and occasionally his stomach. It harks back to his 2004 costume which helped him place third. Wiwi hopes Sakis doesn’t eat any taramasalata before performing. A spill would totally show up on camera!

Anyway, Sakis extended the act’s Michael Jackson-inspired leaning sequence, and he and his dancers seem much more coordinated this go round. The biggest change comes at the end of the act when a rotating platform raises Sakis toward the ceiling and two sets of silver fireworks go off. It’s a nice change of pace in a performance where Sakis jumps from a 2-ft. podium, like, five times.

Here’s the first rehearsal so you can compare them.
