We’ve made it to the final day of Eurovision 2025 second rehearsals. On Saturday, the six automatic qualifiers will be returning to Basel’s St. Jakobshalle arena for another chance to perfect their performances.
This time around, they’ll have 20 minutes to undertake another few run throughs and to check whatever changes they requested following the first rehearsal.
The EBU will release 30-second teaser clips on social platforms throughout the day, with a full roundup published on YouTube at the end.
We’ll try to update this post as things drop. Regardless, please share your thoughts in the comments section throughout the day!
Eurovision 2025 rehearsal schedule | Day 8 (Saturday 10 May)
Here’s the full Eurovision rehearsal schedule for Saturday 10 May. All times are in CEST.
- 13:05 — 13:25 Germany
- 13:30 — 13:50 France
- 13:55 — 14:15 United Kingdom
- 14:20 — 14:40 Switzerland
- 14:45 — 15:05 Italy
- 15:10 — 15:30 Spain
Germany: Abor & Tynna – “Baller”
France: Louane – “maman”
United Kingdom: Remember Monday – “What The Hell Just Happened?”
Spain: Melody – “ESA DIVA”
?t is really boring to see constant overhyping Sweden’s song whereas constant underrating certain countries’ song.
UK. The BBC released a teaser video on their socials. It looks like the chandelier flies whist the girls perform on it at some point. We’re getting theatrics!!!
I still thinking is Spain who deserve to win ,with all respect to the others countrys,
Perhaps it’s a top 5 dark horse that the pre-Eurovision community hasn’t seen.
love them all!!
I like UK and Spain.
I hope Italy would be in top 10; this Song is really underrated because everyone is busy with overhyping certain other countries.
From the big 6 Switzerland is by far my favorite. The song and vocals are excellent and the intimate and artistic staging really works in a line-up full of pyro and dance breaks. France looks great too but it’s not a winner song in my eyes. Mon Amour and Voilà were better. Germany is my 3rd from the big 6. The song is so contemporary and has grown on me a lot.
Switzerland is a very good song, Zoe is a good singer, and I feel the staging elevates the song with more intimacy. Well done!
France on the other hand is a safe bet. Top-10 probably and the sand thing works well.
the best yesterday were germany and switzerland. that curtain drop from germany’s looks amazing, with the tynna’s silhouette.
now let’s talk about the rest:
UK: the stating destroys their chances of doing well with the juries, and they could do well very well in that department
Italy: this could go from top 10 to last place. completely unpredictable
Spain: honestly, not shooting a dead horse here
France: will she stay 3 min playing with sand? i like the song, but that staging is a nope imo
It sounds like we’re getting a esc version of wthjh. The instrumental sounds more live and the vocal arrangement is different to the studio cut. So exciting!!!
Finally Switzerland came into top 10 in the odds. I could not understand it so far. My favourite this year.
And (judging from the clip) the performance is captivating.
Love this song. I thought what everyone else is saying that Zoe Me looks like she comes from another time line like the !8th century from one of those paintings of the time.
I like Lucio
He’s so adorable.
How can anyone hate on him, even if they don’t like the song? Just look at all the downvotes…those b******!
Italy staging reminds me of the 1970’s performance of David Bowie singing Starman when he puts his arm around the neck of his band mate on UK top of the pops. i think he was called Mick Ronson. It was seen as outrageous at that time.
UK = 16th
Germany = 11th
Spain = 21st
Italy = 23rd
France = 9th
UK / Germany / Spain hot favourites for Bottom-5, unfortunately. Not enough, not competitive.
France is sweet. Top-10 perhaps. Not so sure.
Italy. Top-10 perhaps again (juries and televote love Italy and that’s usually enough for a Top-10 finish).
Italy doesnt deserve that position; Italy’s song is better than the UK
Next Saturday is going to be an extraordinary day. Not only will my favorite program, Doctor Who, air the same day as Eurovision, but they are actually doing a Eurovision-themed episode to tie into the real contest. Not only that, Ncuti Gatwa, the current Doctor, will be the UK spokesperson giving out their jury’s 12 points. This is a crossover day that I have only been dreaming for years and it’s finally happened.
Move over Barbenheimer, it’s WhoVision’s time to shine!
Pray the FA Cup Final doesnt go into extra time or penalties or DR Who will be shelved.
I don’t necessarily think it’s a winner but the French rehearsal clip is soooo beautiful. I think visually it’s gonna be one of the best. Now that’s how you do SAND properly.
Pun for Denmark 2024?
I agree. France’s staging is stunning, but the song … oh dear … so tedious!
Wow! France look beautiful! This can win! And should (if not Finland imo)
Luciooooooo! You rock, love! Good luck!
And Tynna… They are my top 3, but she kinda looks terrified there. Not Andromache level of terrified, but still… Good luck to you too, guys!
What’s happened to France rehearsal? Has something happened?
Well, um, this year, the Big5 are a bit disappointing. Germany: it’s a no from me. Song or performance-wise I can’t see anything that excites me Italy: it just doesn’t click. It’s kind of quality and may have a high artistic value. But I don’t like it. And it’s high time that Italy exited the Top-10 for a year. France: it’s good. Not very exciting song but the staging is good. Spain: I guess the comparison will always be with Chanel. And again, this time, it’s Chanel – everything else 3-0. It’s a no from me. UK: poor UK. The… Read more »
High time Italy are out of the top ten? Why…?
Whatever they send, they end up Top-10 (like Sweden), one way or another. Ukraine and Israel, too. We need a bit more competition but regardless, Italy does it very well with San Remo and sends super competitive entries (perhaps not that much this year).
Competition? Supporting each and every Swedish entry is competition for you, right?
Somebody’s jealous.
He is from Sweden or Denmark; Denmark is one of the countries at Eurovision who never votes for Italy, that’s why he also doesnt like any Italian entries
I am not a fan of Italy in ESC. Their songs are objectively good, especially when seen live on stage during the final, but not my cup of tea. Should I…?
Who are you rooting for then? Sweden, by any chance?
Hmm, let me think. Sweden? Austria? Is that a shame?
But as Scandinavian; you always like Sweden’s song, right?
I never saw you liking in Wiwibloggs an Italian entry
Thank you for following all my comments and keeping track of what I like and what I don’t like. Not even I can do that.
I was expecting at least some objectivity from you, of course you are free to like any song but it seems to me that you always put Scandinavian entries first; no matter what they send 🙂
No need for “poor UK” although your sympathy is appreciated. We’re used to being ashamed by the utter rubbish we send (Sam excepted).
Poor = with sympathy and crying out for something like Sam Ryder (still watching his performance).
Out of these I’m loving Remember Monday (UK) they’re my winner of the year, also liking Switzerland, France and Germany out of these.
But this big 5 + host is so strong this year
Now that I’ve grown fond of the UK song, I’m sorry to say that it looks like it won’t quite materialise on stage. Also while I warmed up to the Spanish song, I’m still convinced it will score very poorly.
I really like it Germany ! I can see it top 10 even top 5
Interesting stage, but she lacks energy and lacks it so hard, looks like a sleepy person performing an upbeat song, not cool.
Wow UK and Germany are going to bottom 5 this year. UK could possibly finish last again.
Italy is going to have its worse result since 2014.
Yes x3. Germany for me is likely to be 25th along with the UK (again). Italy out of Top-10 at last (so there’s a free spot for another country, otherwise Italy nails it).
I don’t like UK or Germany but Italy is warm and loving… i think I it could arrive mid table like 12th or 13th
UK looks like the elderly ladies of the Golden Girls sitcom.
In each episode they wore pastel pink, yellow and blue.
Or lilac.
The highest compliment they could receive.
Who’s everyone’s favourite GG?
Sophia. 😉
Dorothy
Oh, I almost forgot. I love getting fun facts in when I can. Terry Hughes, who directed 108 episodes of The Golden Girls, also directed the 1972 Eurovision.
Off-topic: Theo Evan released an acoustic version. I think it’s much better than the Eurovision version.
I still don’t know who he is. 🙁
I mean it’s gotta be Narcissus, right? Or did Dorian Gray have golden locks?
Well… the mystery is now solved. The Vitruvian Man, says Theo.
He is soon to be a NQ.
Based on the clip Spain looks amazing!!
Impressed by all of the first three clips (GER, SUI & UK), though was hoping that the chandelier dropping might be part of the latter’s staging
Zoë Më looks a bit like the Mona Lisa and seems like a truly artistic person. This feeling she gives off could be good for Switzerland. Televoters like musicians who are seen as serious artists and she could get their votes in the contest.
I loooove the Swiss song. If it was in the semis, it would struggle to qualify with televote only. The juries will love it. Not sure how high it will end up but I am rooting for CH. And, yes, it’s true, she is like Mona Lisa, what a wonderful comparison.
Yeah, a song like Voyage would struggle in a televote semi finals, no matter how good it is, which is why it’s the host country entrant and not a normal competitor. Since Switzerland is already in the final by virtue of being the host country, they could send whatever they want without the risk of non-qualification, and that’s exactly what they did here.
Genau!
Switzerland is probably on the right track again, looks very intimate.
Yes, beautiful and classy. My #6 fav this year.
Was hoping the UK might reveal some fun image or concept in their staging to make this witty, charming. Only thirty seconds here I know, but it seems pretty conventional to me. Unless there’s a lot more up the delegation’s sleeve??
I don’t think we can expect anything exciting from this one, I am afraid.
UK look very good and sound amazing
Omg well done uk …. 12 points from Malta , amazing vocals ladies
Vocals and harmonies, yes. But the song is non-competitive.
Germany is so good this year! Spain, UK too
Unfortunately, the juries will ruin the contest again (they will vote based on geographical criteria. The northern countries will vote Sweden, the southern countries for Austria).
They dare to vote Greece? Poland? Italy?
If juries exist, countries like Croatia (the real winner last year), won’t have a chance.
Impressed with both clips (GER & SUI) so far
Love both Germany & Switzerland
Haven’t taken much notice of the Suisse entry before now – it’s so GOOD. I need to change my Top 10!
Tynna sounds better than at the national final, but I wonder if the song is composed too high for her range and she’s straining a bit. Maybe if it been in a slightly lower pitch it would sound better.
Germany 2025. UK 2021.
Can’t wait to see Remember Mondays clip come on girls do us in UK proud
Seeing all the props and plataforms and stuff, the area behind the stage must be huge. Imagine on the Final night 26 massive structures already built and ready behind the stage.
COME THROUGJ, LUCIO!
You and Klavdia are true stars this year.
