Having a lovely time...

It´s 17.23 on Saturday. Eurovison proper starts in 4.5 hours and I´m back in the Media Centre, where all the talk is of t.A.t.u. We just don´t know if they´ll be performing as a duo or not. Julia had a doctor´s note last night, as she has a sore throat, so Elena sang on her own. Her voice was fine, but the song needs two people to sing it, as it´s so powerful. What this means is that the EBU and Latvian TV don´t have a film yet of t.A.T.u´s performance with both girls. The significance of this is that they cannot quickly switch to the backup rehearsal tape if t.A.T.u do something outrageous on stage. Their management are playing this game perfectly. Last night Elena performed to three minutes of booing, but apparently that didn't happen in today's rehearsal.
