I know we’re all getting ready for Il Volo’s performance tonight, but since the will be singing last, I hope this will give you something to focus on while we wait.
Tonight will be EPIC — win or lose. The crowd already loves them; how can they not? It will be an honor to be able to be a part of this with you guys tonight.
Much love to you, and of course —
LOVE TO PIERO, IGNAZIO AND GIANLUCA!! YOU ARE GONNA KILL IT!
OK. So I was working on a piece about how even though it seems like The Guys might be resting, they really aren’t, but maybe that’s my life. I’m not sure where the last 24 hours went! Anyway, we’re on to the second rehearsal, and I’ll get back to the other piece…sometime….
In the meantime, enjoy snippets from the day. I was working on this post last night when not as many pictures were available, so keep coming back. I’ll be adding to this as I find more things.

Intresting Things
As usual, our friends, All About Il Volo, have put together a comprehensive list of things to see…which includes a play list of videos that might interest you. Thanks, Marie for the tip.
Youtube:Google (or whatever your search is) “Youtube Live”– You can do this on a computer, iPad or whatever you use to access Youtube. You should see a list of choices. I clicked the one at the top of the screen titled LIVE-YOUTUBE. Then in the search area at the top of the screen type: 2015 Eurovision Song Contest: Semi-Final 1. You will then see under Featured Live Events a small screen for 2015 Eurovision Song Contest 2015. Click that screen and a larger screen will appear which will become active at 22:00 hours (or here in Naples 3:00 pm – 43 minutes from now.)
(Editor’s note: I was delayed in reading this e-mail, so the specific Semi-Final she is speaking of is past. I imagine you can follow the same instructions for the current day’s events.)
For Web TV: This can only be viewed on a computer. Google Eurovision.tv – when it opens go up to the upper left of screen and click menu. When that opens look down to the left under for the heading NEWS. Look below and click Web TV. When that open go to the right and you will see LIVE NOW and 2015 Eurovision Song Contest – Semi Final 1. A screen on the left will open and ask you to install some kind of app. Do not do that, but instead click NO THANKS. Screen opens and you will be able to view Eurovision 2015 live. You can follow this procedure for Semi Final 2 and most importantly Eurovision Finals on May 23.
The Jury Is In
I think we all want to vet this year’s judges. Have a look to see if you “approve.” 😉
Can’t wait until Thursdays 2nd Semi-final round and our Guys take the stage! Update: guys don’t take the stage. Darn! You can watch it tomorrow at 3 pm EDT. Use either the link to Eurovision below or, like I did, just go to YouTube and put in “Eurovision streaming live.”
In the meantime, here’s how yesterday’s first round went. ~Marie
