Rehearsal day seven
Romania and Slovenia rehearse again
Song four – Romania
Paula and Ovi have now changed into proper stage outfits. Paula has a silver cat suit with a diamond collar and Ovi has a black shiny outfit. The backing singers have grown big feathery tails on their dresses. The duo have now also added some sparks that they throw at each other during the chorus, there will also be other pyro effects. A confident and visual performance that should easily qualify for the final.
Second rehearsal:
First rehearsal:
Song five – Slovenia
The Slovenian amalgamation of a rock and a folk band are dressed in either their national alpine costumes or rock outfits, one with a Beatles t-shirt. Whether this combination of rock and folk will please the juries or the viewers enough to qualify remains to be seen, but it is a confident performance to finish off today’s semi-finalists rehearsals.

Romania is the winner, for sure!!! They have it all: talent, looks and a catchy tune. What can we want more? Let's hope Europeans get over their false prejudices and do the right thing, at least this year...
I hope Belgium wins the contest this year. The song 'Me and My Guitar' of Tom Dice is so beautiful! http://www.youtube.c(...)/watch?v=GlRq8E_Teoc
@Zasvicu
Yes I do, it'senjoyable and different.
@Marko
Why are you calling Slovenian song crap? I remember you saying you liked it. Or are you just disappointed your favourite didn't win? 
After the jury's 0 to Sasa, I think she'll only come back if it's internal. 
I want to see her go to Eurovision too.
Zasvicu Full
Neeeeee brate! 
To je loshe bilo, ne valja nishta!!
I wanna Sasha Lendero for Slovenia!!
I will send mail to her to suggest to enter EMA next year again! hahaha!
Anna Bergendahl ♥ FTW
what??? Marko Kon was 4th for me 
Romania- excellent live performance! I don't like the silver costume!
Paula please, do not wear this silver costume in the semi!
Zasvicu Full
Don't need to be sweetie! 
All countries send craps sometimes! last year my country was bottom 3 for me, one of the worst! This year many ppl think the same about our entry! Why do you care!?
I'm ashamed

Ja obozavam Sloveniju i pevace u Sloveniji!! 
Ali ovo mi je odvratno i glupo, sorry!
I ja sam gledao EMU vise puta i mnogo mi se dopala, Nina Puslar, Manca Spik, Brigita Suler, Langa, Anastazija Juvan i drugi! They were so AMAZING! I luv them and Sasa Lendero's songs for Brigita and Langa! I can't believe this won!! 
But it will be good lesson for Slovenia, never to send similar again!
I hope Sasa Lendero will be again in EMA as singer, she is THE BEST for me!!
The concept of the slovenian song is very simple and in the same time interesting!I love it! folk vs. rock!And the song is really nice!
Good luck Slovenia!Hope to see you in the final!
Laila ♥ RUSSIA 2010 ♪ ♫
you like Slovenian song???? 
WTF???????
Romania
Boring start - they take too long to move away from the piano. I guess camera angles will make it not seem so boring though. Paula should have gone with the black catsuit instead of the silver. I like the flames and piano.
Slovenia
Good performance, good dance routine, good chemistry, good singing, good outfits... Everythign about this is enjoyable. I don't understand why so many dislike it - it's great in every way!
Great, Great, Great for Romania. I hope they will qualify and take a Top 10 spot in the final. For me, it's a Top 5 song.
good news: Paula will wear the black leather catsuit...
Kopi,
You're welcome. Btw, I simply loved 'Nezna'from EMA 10.
Romania "A nice rehearsal again!They give a solid performance,they seem to connect on stage and this happy pop tune is a possible qualifier!
Slovenia :I think they are flirting with the last place of the semi!
And i might just as well add: this year's Slovenian entry is actually much much better than the one from last year.
Another topic: oh my gosh, what is Paula from Romania wearing???? What kind of costume is that????
Kopi * Star
Nina Pušlar bi morala zmagat.Tile so totalno zanič!!
What did we have on EMA? I have watched it and I have ears and this was the best on EMA and I am PROUD they represent us.
Adérito Filho and Shevek Urras, at least two positive comments about our entry, thank you!
What a crap from Slovenia! No words to describe it! Earlier at least they acted normal on the stage, but now...GOSH sorry but this look retarded which is sad when i remember what Slovenia had in EMA 2010!
No, Eurovision sucks BIG TIME!!!!
The Slovenian song isn't a winner, but it's actually quite a good song.
Another great rehearsal for Slovenia, I am just so dissapointed with the background, it's too dark, but luckily Barbara and Pepi have enough lightness in their performance so noone will notice this ordinary background.
Romania 12 pts from me!!
Slovenia sucks!!!
Romania - This year's "Era Stupendo"? Every year there is one entry where everyone in the arena thinks "wow" and people watching on screen go "meh"? It sounds great, Paula is hitting the high notes with great power and the stage lighting is superb. On screen however it's a different story. Paula's silver cat suit isn't flattering and she actually gets lost in the background lighting when they walk away from the paino. I'm reminded of Al Bano and Romina Power from Italy from the 1970s. A beautiful girl with a shorter guy who really doesn't match up to her physically or vocally.
now that sum's up Romania in a nutshell don't ya think?
Slovenia - This is a good song very well performed, nothing less, nothing more and it will get my vote.
Romania - No news on the Romanian front (what the hell is she wearing?!).
