I agree mate - altho its difficult to tell if some of the performers aren't bothering with some sort of routine/show just because its the rehearsals, or not bothering full stop.
But yeah, so far there aren't many that catch the eye in terms of stage presence/dancing/gimmicks.
This is gaining a bit of momentum...let's see...och it just takes too long to get going. She sings it well, but it never goes anywhere, never gets out of first gear, and the stage show looks lazy too.
Why on earth they haven't told that rapper to f*** off yet I'll never know. It would be ok if it was just her but what on earth are they thinking...he entirely spoils this ones chances. Infact nope she does too - completely loses the vocals later on, goodnight and godbless Macedonia.
The old foot tapper this one, but another that never quite gets going and her performance is nothing special. Bit of effort with the stage show and choreography but thats about it.
Well I like it more than the other dance efforts this year...Vodka eh? The Russians will bloody love this, cossack dancing through the night. Mmmmmm what to make of that...I'd call it a grower not a shower, on first listen it all sounds a bit mental and that'll count against it big time. After a few listens it improves a tad, but it might not get through to give that a chance.
She's not that great and the English lyrics do this no favours - should have left it in Hungarian IMO. It just bumbles along at its own pace, a couple of nice melodies in there but I cant see why you would vote for that.
Ahhhh she's blind. Singing is ok, song still miserable, this is the type of song Britain would probably put forward if given the chance and that says it all.
God I hate this. Stop smiling you prat...he sounds and looks like Chico. Why on earth is he dressed like he's singing a swing song? No I cant do this to myself again, the first rehearsal I've cut off in its prime.
Oooo this ones in trouble methinks. It hasnt caught the imagination in Europe at all yet, and it isnt sounding good on stage...need to improve, and fast.
This was always gonna be interesting to see...I like the stage show, the crowd will get right into this one. Now the important bit...her singing...here she comes...she's still struggling. The melody is strong though, and the whole thing still works. I'm not sure how, or what it works as, but it does.
Im dissappointed in the Latvia rehearsal, the second verse when the girl comes in, just sounds so weak! Also the stage, no fake pirate ship??! maybe on the night..
Croatia:
I don't get it, honestly, and after seeing it live on stage I still dont. Answers on a postcard.
what is there to get,
not that bad, the song I mean, specially if you are drunk, and it is kind of music that gets people to jump up, not maybe in Finland or, don't know, Sweden, but in Belgrade sure, that is probably one of the reasons they are there, but don't listen to me, I'm old school when it comes to music
Young boys will look nice, they said they have new suits, thank God for that.
Croatia is growing on me Mrs Smith. I will need to listen to it again but the last time i listened it seemed a huge improvement. the old boy quite charmed me and he might others.
Aye Latvia need some gunsmoke and fire too likesadabble. Maybe they are saving it all for the night. Really blow us all away ah har. Surely it has to go well? Its the only song ive heard, bar bosnia that i think has that little euro something.
Bulgaria you say Beanie. Lets have a listen ah its this one. :mental im raving im raving. Im electric boogalooing. where is it going though? aye the skanky reggae. Ouch her voice is bad Beanie. no stregth. surely it will be better produced on the night? Maybe not as it has been shown in the past. This could be one that a lot of the older generation go and make a cup of tea too or grab a sandwhich depending on its slot
