Eurovision 2023: Denmark’s Second Rehearsal!

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

Continuous to the rehearsals of the previews few days, the first to take the stage today is Reiley from Denmark with the song “Breaking My Heart”.

Who is Riley?

Rani Petersen is known in the music industry as Reiley, is the first person from the Faroe Islands to participate in Eurovision Song Contest. Reiley is twenty-five years old singer and he became known as a social media influencer on TikTok in the early 2019, with nearly 11 million followers.

Since then, Reiley is posting on social media hundreds of covers that many of these became viral across all the internet. On February, he participated on the Danish National Selection Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2023 and won the competition making history in the Eurovision books.

The Rehearsal

Unfortunately this year, accredited journalists don’t get the chance to watch the first and second rehearsals, so we only get the information and content that the organizers officially release to the public.

Reiley’s outfit is different to the one used in his first rehearsal! His beige sequins and white trousers are now changed to a candyfloss pink sparkly suit!

It also seems that the entry’s staging works really good on screen with Reiley’s rotating house being compared by the organizers to what Rosa Linn, from Armenia, did last year!

In the afternoon, after the completion of all the rehearsals, a recap video will be released with short excerpts from the footage of all the second rehearsals!

The Dress Rehearsal for Denmark and the rest of Semi Final 2 will be held on the 10th of May.

The Rehearsal

Unfortunately this year, accredited journalists don’t get the chance to watch the first and second rehearsals, so we only get the information and content that the organizers officially release to the public.

Reiley’s set is different from the national final. He has a really clever triangle pronged revolving structure with each turn presents a room in a different colour as he moves through the doorwaysmaking good use of the LED floor and the projected graphics. Reiley has visuals that are making hearts and emojis from clouds. The whole performance feels like a a dreamlike quality.

Denmark: Reiley goes for a different staging in Liverpool!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Reiley, who is only 25 years old, is this year’s representative of Denmark in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool, since he has already won the first prize at Dansk Melodi Grand Prix. In addition, he managed to receive 43% of the vote in the superfinal.

However, Reiley, being an interviewee at Melfest WKND, which is the pre-party of Melodifestivalen, told eurovoix.com that his staging in Liverpool “won’t be similar at all” to what audience has already seen in Dansk Melodi Grand Prix. Nevertheless, no matter the fact that Reiley’s staging will be completely different, his own unique artistic identity will still be present on stage. Check out his interview:

Keep in mind that Reiley is Denmark’s first ever representative who comes from the Faroe Islands and his song “Breaking My Heart”, which is on the first half of the second semi-final on May 11th, has been co-created by him as well.
