Day one of rehearsals at the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 has come to an end! We’ve seen the first 9 entries from the first semi-final. As is tradition, we have conducted the daily press poll to discover how members of the press rate today’s performances!

How it works

After the conclusion of today’s rehearsals, we asked 35 members of the press to rate today’s performances based on their rehearsals rather than by their favourite songs. To do this, each press member chose their top 3 performances and we allocated 5 points to their favourite, 3 points to their second favourite and 1 point to their third favourite.
