Malta’s Claudia Faniello and Romania’s Ilinca feat. Alex Florea took to the stage today for their second rehearsals at Eurovision 2017. From moving ballad to over-the-top Alpine yodelling, it was certainly a study in contrasts! But both of them managed to maintain the momentum they built earlier in the week.
Malta — Claudia Faniello, “Breathlessly”
Standing tall and sounding great, Claudia slipped into a new dress that fit her like a glove and featured more sparkles and gold trim. She showed up with a fresh blow dry and parted her hair down the middle, letting her tendrils falls in lovely curls to her breasts. The wind machines added a nice touch and fit well with the idea of being breathless.

Romania — Ilinca feat. Alex Florea, “Yodel It!”
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Ilinca and Alex kept their performance largely the same and it still featured the burst of colour, the cannons and the playful swagger. Alex seems to be in much greater control now as he mounts the cannon and didn’t slip off once. Ilinca sizzled in a thigh-skimming red dress with plunging neckline. She’s in her element and loving it.

When i hear Romanias Song, i be angry and in a bad mood. Shes the worst. I dont think Europé like this. This is not good for ESC.
@ Hi ”Shes the worst……This is not good for ESC”
She’s the devil, the antichrist, the apocalypse of esc.
We must do something. Sign a petition or something.
LoL Abel ! Idk what s wrong with Romania . Its a positive and happy song
haters gonna hate potatoes gonna potate!Guys , don’t be such a drama queen .
Sounds like a joke, Pam Pam. Don’t take it serious.
Romanian duo brings some sincere joy and I am sure they will qualify. Malta also has a shot at qualification as this is very classy and will attract jury vote and 50 + aged audience.
Malta: Great voice, beautiful performance! Not particularly a fan of the whole staging!
Romania: Really beautiful performance! I really like the explosion of colours throughout the song!
Romania’s rehearsal was very good and Ilinca’s short dress will bring them a lot of extra votes 😉
Sure! That is why this is called a SONG contest… ?
1 What an appropriate comment (if this was 1920)! 2 You know what kind of crowds Eurovision attracts, right? They don’t usually go with “girls” with short dresses. 😉
@ Bogdan Honciuc
Ignore the political correctness police.
Now they suddenly want a ”song” contest when everybody is waiting for these rehearsals to see the staging.
second rehearsal better than first rehearsal for Romania 🙂
and Claudia wow beautiful voice and she tried her best, to make this dull song any good, i think Claudia should definitely return another year with a stronger song 🙂

I know the Romanian entry is beloved by many, but I just cannot listen to it. It really triggers my nerves. In my personal list this should be at the bottom of the SF.
Who cares about your personal taste? You don’t like it, so?!?… There are others who like it and who’ll vote for it and it will definitely qualify.
Dear Rimig, if you have been reading the comment section of Romania-related articles recently, you should know that you are not allowed to express your opinion (otherwise you will attract aggressive rottweilers like the one right above me). But I can’t blame you for trying! 😉
Absolutely
Romania is so good! Claudia did the best she could to make her song stand out, I applaud her for that.
