Serbian representative had second rehearsal in Baku Crystal Hall
Baki, May 18 (AZERTAC). Zeljko Joksimovic from Serbia rehearsed for the second time in the Baku Crystal Hall. Zeljko Joksimovic is already a Eurovision legend: He came second in the Eurovision Song Contest as a singer in 2004, third as a composer in 2006, and he presented the show in 2008 in Belgrade. Now the multi-talented artist is back on stage, trying to conquer the hearts of the TV viewers yet again with Nije Ljubav Stvar.
Zeljko Joksimovic today arrived backstage together with Jovana Jankovic, who presented the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest together with him and who, since January this year, is his wife. She had come to Baku only last night, and Zeljko said he was very glad to have her support now.
“It`s a very different feeling, being a presenter or competing as a singer, you cannot even compare them”, he stated about the roles he has had in past Eurovision Song Contests. Regarding changes compared to the first rehearsal in Baku, he said that they were trying to make everything look even smoother by changing the camera angles and the lighting scene.
The second Serbian rehearsal saw a change in the LED backdrop and lighting indeed: The colour of the spotlights was changed to yellow, and the main colours of the LEDs and the stage were dark blue and purple.
Today, Zeljko and his backing musicians already appeared on stage in their Semi-Final outfits: The male artists were wearing elegant black suits, while the female performers wore long black dresses. Several musical instruments were featured in the stage act - violins, a guitar, a flute, and of course a grand piano.
The professionalism of the whole team showed very well today, as they delivered yet another heartwarming and flawless performance.
