There’s little to report here. Elena was spot-on for her first rehearsal, and spot on again for each run-through today. If pressed, I might say she smiled more and connected even better with the camera.

Setting aside the mumbled lyric that sounds like she’s singing about eating tacos on a Trello board, this is a memorable song – and when it hits the Saturday stage (it will), will appeal to voters. It’s a party song with a feel good vibe.

Elena even manages to sing whilst performing what looks like advanced yoga. So all those ‘she can’t sing live’ trolls might like to eat their words. Preferably during a downward dog.

Thumbs up iconIt’s through and whilst probably not the winner this year, it’s not going to shame anyone. Nice job, Cyprus.
