Thursday saw the start of the second rehearsals and we finally had the chance to see precisely what tweaks they made — across vocals, LED, choreography and more. We were in the arena to film the likes of Blanche in her city lights, Cyprus’ Hovig walking a tightrope and Slavko Kalezic serving that hair braid realness for Montenegro.
We asked our readers to pick their favourite rehearsals from Thursday’s lineup and only one could triumph. After counting 7,565 votes, we can now reveal that our readers think the Polish diva Kasia Mos was the winner with her dramatic ballad “Flashlight”, with 13.84% of the vote.
The Wiwi team in the press centre was impressed by Kasia’s illuminating second rehearsal. The Polish beauty traded in her first white gown for a slightly more revealing bandage dress, which showed off her ample assets and silky shoulders. It has a deep thigh split that teases her perfect pins and shows off her left stiletto, which features an ankle strap and a vertiginous spike that literally has her on point.
A violinist plays in the background while she serves face and nails her vocals. The LED features a blue sky with stars. Later Kasia turns around and the spotlight shines through her translucent dress, showing off her gym-honed silhouette. A series of doves and smoke then emerge from behind her on the LED. Peace has never looked so fabulous! Another highlight? When Kasia’s circular floor illuminates with constellations denoted by bright pink lights.
Wiwibloggs readers were also impressed by Greece, with Demy’s “This Is Love” getting 11.98% of the vote. In third place was Finland’s Norma John, whose gothic “Blackbird” closely followed on 11.73%.

Greece 2nd? Seriously? Ahh, I forgot. Greek voters
It’s not because of polish diaspora. She is just simply the best 🙂
With love from Bulgaria <3
Go Poland, go Bulgaria!
of course, “Polish votes, Polish diaspora, nobody else likes this song”… seriously people? you are so pathetic, Poland should not be in Eurovision, this contest is a joke.
In vain she has “great” voice, personality, beautiful staging whatnot if the song is even unmelodic and non-understandable
Im polish and i voted for Finland i think she slays!
GO Finland! I do believe Kasia had great performance too.
Other question is why are we talking about Poirtugal’s reh if he is giving concerts actually in Spain?
Finland is incredible <3
Those “polish diaspora” and “it’s only Poles who vote” comments are not cool, man. You may like the song or not but please try to respect the fact people have different opinions. Kasia’s got the voice, she’s got personality, the staging is beautiful.. I don’t see the reason why she couldn’t be the best? Let’s be patient and see how she does on Tuesday and then (hopefully) in the Final. PS: my sf 1 winners are: Finland, Sweden, Georiga, Australia, Poland. – a bit different than the results in the pool,huh?. Yet, I don’t get frustrated over it like some… Read more »
Yas! Preach!
To the people who voted for Belgium, thank you!
Blanche really needs some moral support and positive reinforcement. You guys are the v.i.p!
she cant sing live, studio version was my top 3 , now its my 42 place
Gurl bye!
Seems about right 🙂
The betting agencies have Poland finishing in 21st place (assuming she makes the final). Yet Poland consistently wins these Wiwibloggs polls. That’s evidence enough for me that something bogus is afoot.
Belgium is top 10 in grand final but i think she wont qualify. people votes for Belgium. People’s ears swell as she sings and still have her in the top 3.strange. There is a fake here.
With the 2nd semi-final rehearsals underway, I made a Top 18 video 🙂 Let me know who you want to qualify!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OooiAB8TEQ
She was fabulous ?? I was also so impressed ???? in lots of youtube movies she is also in top/ tight top ?
Real result:
1. Finland
2. Azerbaijan
3. Portugal
yeah, that’s the truth here.
Come on, Polish people. What’s the point?
Go to YouTube and you will see that people loved Kasia’s rehearsal. She is in top 3 in almost every tops-video. Oh well maybe Poles are making account and put videos on YT… lol
Belgium 6th? its mistake.
so well deserved. why am i not surprised at all?
Deserved winner, well done Kasia.
Sure, Jan.
Well-undeserved…
Fire rhymes with desire when a song is generic and dire.
You’re so fancy. NOT
Typical Polish votes. Next!
What do you mean?
