For all common countries the Baku experience has started last weekend, now the big five are getting ready to enter the home of Eurovision this year.
Today the second round of rehearsals start for all semi finalists. All rehearsals will be a bit shorter so more of them are fitted in a day too.

Are they ready for it?

For years Dutch Jan Götz has been doing all Eurovision fans and collectors a giant favor allready by sharing all details about all versions of all Eurovision songs released every year. In the good old days it was the paper version of his collectors guide that lead the way. Nowadays he's publishing the most accurate details about all releases available on the net in his annual collector's guide. In the Baku version you'll find out how many official remixes have been made for Loreen's song for Sweden. You'll also discover that the Lithuanian song also has a Lithuanian and a Russian version and you'll know exactly how Tooji's song for Norway has been performing in the local charts.
