Estonian singer kicks off rehearsals for second time in Baku Crystal Hall
Baku, May 20 (AZERTAC). Today, Ott Lepland of Estonia kicked off rehearsals for the second time in the Baku Crystal Hall. Ott entered the stage in his costume for the Semi-Final night.
For the rehearsal, things are pretty much the same as the first time around. Ott is wearing a grey waistcoat and white t-shirt, although he did begin the performances wearing a jacket, but due to the heat on stage he removed this for the following performances.
Ott delivers his vocal impeccably and even managed to find time for some humor when he performed the last few lines of the song in a very deep voice during one run through.
The LED backdrop starts very darkly, and just a single spotlight is shining down on Ott. As the song builds the theme changes to a more golden background and falling leaves are scattered across the screens.
The concept of the Estonian performance is very much about letting the music do the talking, focusing more on the purity of Ott`s vocal delivery rather than any other distractions on set. He seems totally at ease on stage with seemingly no nerves at all.
