As the countdown to Eurovision 2025’s grand final on May 17 in Basel, Switzerland, begins, fans are focusing on tonight’s second semifinal, where Greece will compete with Claudia and her song “Asteromata.”

The final rehearsal of Greece’s entry already caused a stir on social media, with many praising her impressive stage presence.

Klavdia appears almost throughout her performance in a black dress. However, at the end, there’s a major twist: the lights go out, and within seconds, she removes the black outfit, revealing a white dress — a moment considered the highlight of her performance.

Videos shared on social media capture her stage presence and the team’s last-minute adjustments.
