Linda Lampenius and Pete Parkkonen performed like models.

Linda Lampenius and Pete Parkkonen performed today at the Eurovision rehearsals. It’s the turn of one more practice in the evening, same on Saturday.

At Friday’s general’s flag parade, Linda and Pete surprised with their clothing choices. They were wearing lion shirts. However, the flag parade, with several acrobats and a descending curtain, did not go as it should have.

The start was restarted three times, and the general started about an hour late. There were problems even later during the general’s time, but not for Linda and Pete.

Before Finland, the surprise country Moldova performed, before which there was a so-called commercial break in the shows.

A flamethrower The sets were not ready after Moldova’s performance as quickly as it was reported. The start was delayed by maybe 10 seconds.

Linda and Pete’s presentation itself had no major problems. Linda’s skirt seemed to get a bit under her heels before Linda had to run down the stage. The stage ninja noticed this and jerked the hem in order.

As usual, the flamethrower received loud applause. The loudest noise of all was heard in the rehearsals when, at the very end of the performance, Lampenius ran along the catwalk in his high heels. This run will not be seen on TV, but the audience at the Wiener Stadthalle will.

The rising tempo at the end and the end of the song have also made the audience scream, and so this time too. In part, only media representatives and members of the delegations were watching the exercises.

The flamethrower received great applause. Sarah Louise Bennett
