Today the first part of the participants of the first Semi-Final had the second chance to rehearse on the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest stage in Moscow. 

Most participants test the stage costumes in at lest one of the closed rehearsals. But when Next Time rehearsed their Nešto Što Ke Ostane for the second time on Thursday, the artists were still in their regular garments.

Today another group of representatives of nine countries had the chance to rehearse. Israel was the first to do so, followed by Bulgaria, Iceland, FYR Macedonia, Romania, Finland, Portugal and Malta. Bosnia and Herzegovina finished the day.

The rock duo Next Time, representing FYR Macedonia in the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest, performed their entry Nešto Što Ke Ostane in front of LED screens showing heavy metal! The twin brothers were accompanied by two drummers on stage, and they showed a very confident and contemporary performance.

Starting from today the official Download Shop for this year's Eurovision Song Contest is opened. You can shop for the 42 entries of Europe's favourite TV-show with ease and right by your computer.
