According to Eurovision.tv first rehearsal of the day was Armenia's Sirusho, who astonished everyone at her first rehearsal last Monday and her great performance at the party thrown by the Russian delegation at the Euroclub.

Sirusho and her three backing dancers once again delivered a steady performance, opening with the dancers entangled around Sirusho's legs, making Sirusho wave in the air when she stoops.

Sirusho did not wear her final outfit for the semi-final on the 20th of May, but it was revealed by a person from the Armenian delegation: Sirusho's dress is classy, sexy and shiny. During the rehearsal, fire was blowing up from the stage and the pyrotechnics were tried out. Given the expressions on Sirusho and her dancers' faces, it was seeming like they were quite content with rehearsals. Later at the press conference, Sirusho and the Armenian delegation expressed their satisfaction with today's rehearsal.

Furthermore, Sirusho told the fans and accredited press that there had been some security issues regarding some of the elements which were supposed to be used in the act. Sirusho explained that this of course is unfortunate, but it does not matter because in the end it is the vocal perfomance that counts.

Sirusho's dress will be designed by famous Russian designer Igor Chapurin, who is well-known in Paris, Moscow, New York, Tokyo, etc. The dresses for the rehearsals and press-conferences are acquired from Dolce & Gabbana prete-a-porter collection and Armenian designer Kivera Naynomis, more known as Arevik Simonyan, reports Eurovision's Armenian website.

Sirusho is ranking on Top three levels of major online bookmakers' sites as the favorite to win this year's Eurovision 2008 song festival.
