@12:35 While we are having a short break in B&W Hallerne, let's check our first backstage video for today. Enjoy and let us know what do you think.

@12:22 Basim this year's contestant from Denmark was, as always, in a good mood and smiling backstage. He had his first rehearsal at the B&W Hallerne in Copenhagen today, where the pressure was on for the young artist, who is represting his country on home turf.

@12:10 The whole performance of the French band TWIN TWIN is very colourful and catchy. The very first tune sounds funny and makes you dance, and sing with TWIN TWIN "Moustache"!

@12:04 Denmark will be rehearsing in some minutes too."The song is about a girl I meet and have a crush on. I try and do everything I can in order to get her to love me, but no matter what I do, it just feels like a cliché, and that is the theme of the song. But there is a twist to the song", explains Basim.

@11:55 Lorent, François and Patrick wore colourful and flashy clothes: “We’ll try this combination today,” François told, and Patrick told about his make-up: "It takes origin in Africa, Tanzania and means that I am my own master." Here's a sneak peek from their rehearsal.

@11:11 We will be having french contestants on the stage soon. With its bouncy melodies, a healthy sense of gimmick, and the liveliness of its lyrics, Twin Twin is a perfect example of the YOLO (You Only Live Once) generation.

@11:02 Molly took the job of creating a song for the Eurovision Song Contest very seriously and says the song "needed to be a big concept. It can't just be a nice song, it's got to be a little bit anthemic. So I came up with six or seven ideas in the space of 48 hours and this one just stood out." Let's take a look what's going on in the backstage this morning!
