The first semifinal at Eurovision was arguably the best again with so many good acts this year at Malmö.
Ever wondered how they put on the show, with only 45 seconds between the acts? Is it a split stage? No, watch and see how quickly they change the sets in just the time it takes to show the intro video.
This year we got tickets for the last dress rehearsal for the first semifinal.
It's exactly the same as the live broadcast apart from a few differences as you'll see. In fact, some of the differences are huge for the countries involved!
We stayed in Copenhagen and took the train to Malmö over the bridge so quick and convenient. We also visited the Eurovision Village, which was a bit disastrous I'll do a video for that next.

Note one of my comments says "Last Years Winner Sweden" which should really have said "Host country Sweden" to avoid confusion as it is this year's song.
