Day 6: Lithuania, Albania, Switzerland
Song 5: Lithuania - Jerominas Milius - Nomads in the night
Once again Jerominas sings alone on the Eurovision Song Contest stage. He delivers a powerful and emotive performance of his song Nomads in the night. Today he is dressed in a striking white shirt and tight leather trousers. Although his performance is not note perfect, Jerominas sings with strong power and emotion which is very convincing.
Song 6: Albania - Olta Boka - Zemren e lame peng
Olta is 16 years old and give a emotive and heartwarming performance. While she appeared a little nervous in the previous rehearsal she has overcome this by singing with great confidence. The lack of gimmicks in this song is refreshing.
Song 7: Switzerland - Paulo Meneguzzi - Era stupendo
Paolo's and the backing singers' routine has been completely transformed from the rather young poppy one we saw on Wednesday to a sophisticated routine. Paolo is dressed in a black suit whilst his backing singers are also dressed in black. The girls have sparkling black dresses and punk style haircuts which produce a gothic look. This is now a much improved routine.

I didnt see any improvement in the Swiss performance
Paolo doesnt know how to perform on stage. and this was just the rehearsal, on the semifinal night his mic might fell or something
and the backing dancers.. WHY ARE THEY THERE?
Do you think Dustin is ridiculous? Oh My.. U obviously havent seen this year's Swiss performance
They totally ruined the song
I hope they don't qualify
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ALBANIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHAKE THAT ASS GIRL...U CAN DO IT....MAKE US PROUD LOL
Albania is still one of my favourites. Olta Boka is very beautiful.
I also love Switzerland, and it is a great performance, but in a style nowadays not very popular in the contest. Still not sure if it qualifies, despite being a fan favourite.
I never realized how beautiful the albanian entrant is! She's goregous and such a GREAT song
am i the only one who doesn't get all the fuss about the swiss song?
i really hope my country goes in the finals 
GOOD LUCK ALBANIA
I love Albania's song and she does well in this rehearsal. Odd costume choice. I preferred the original version of the song (it sounds a bit thin in comparison) but it's still lovely and just might qualify, perhaps.
Yeah,Lithuanian song rocks.I mean Jeronimas voice rocks 
One way or another we will win sonn! Or will send Jurga,who won MTV award )
Albania: one of the best songs but a very poor performance (and a terrible dress 
)
Switzerland: good song but a bad performance: he has sang very bad!!
im quite surprised to see that switzerland took the upside direction to their entry.. first they want to be professional and in a more classic style, which would have brought them many points at least enough for a top 10 spot like ireland 2006 but now they added modern touch that is not of excellent quality, it brings them down to the eastern european trying to dance and all.. lithuania remains of huge boringness whereas albania id having troubles breaking through into interestingness.. all in all 3 songs i could do without..
Lithuania - a powerful and convincing performance by Jeronimus. Quite refreshing after Ukraine's over-the-top routine.
Albania - I like the song but the live performance lacks a certain oomph.
Switzerland - really disappointed. Paulo's vocals were somewhat strained, and the dancers were unbelievably poor. The interaction here between singer and dancers simply does not work. Otherwise, a very good song.
Lithuania was the best of these three for me.
Good luck Albania from Denmark!
GO ALBANIJA!!!!!
I think Switzerland could manage to win this years contest. We'll return to the home of the first Eurovision!
Lithuania - the first top-5 wannabe.
Lithuania - my hero.
