Slovenia rehearsal and press conference

Rebeka appears on stage with three female backing vocalists and two male dancers, one of whom choreographed the piece. Rebeka emerges from a cage at the beginning of the song, and is followed around by the male dancers. The theme of the song is about a girl feeling imprisoned by love, and wanting to break out, with love winning in the end.

Musically the song has been transformed. Now there is funkier and clubbier sound with spanish guitars used and has a more aggresive feel.

Press conference

Rebeka Dremelj started by admitting that the first rehearsal was awful and that everyone is in a bad mood because of that, without denying, however, the team's responsibility for that. Promising that everything will go better in the future, she avoided answering relevant questions. As far as the lyrics are concerned, she said she thought that the population of Slovenia is small and they should be proud to sing in their native language. Her a capella singing was warmly greeted by the journalists.
