The random jury lover (if she makes the final). It's grown a lot on me tbh, she's great live and having almost no ballads make her chances bigger Dejare de quererte cuando un pintor sordo pinte el sonido de un pétalo al caer en el suelo de cristal de un castillo que no existe. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juanlittlem 41,511 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 22 minutes ago, Dutch said: Rehearsal 1: 🇨🇾 Cyprus – Silia Kapsis – Liar Shall we get these rehearsals started? First up on stage is Silia Kapsis from Cyprus - she’ll be opening the first Semi-Final on May 7th with her song Liar. Silia is a singer and dancer of Greek and Cypriot descent, and she currently lives in Sydney, Australia. Silia is only 17, but she’s owning this stage like performing in a huge arena is a walk in the park. The gold lamé costume from the official video has been replaced with trousers and a crop top in sparkly white, with four male backing dancers in cargo pants and baggy white t-shirts. No stage props, but lots of swirly green and red graphics on the LED backdrop and floor. Fans of Silia's dancing will be happy to hear that this performance has a high energy routine and a huge dance break before the bridge into the final chorus - just the kind of upbeat number we need to get the party started on May 7th. Also should mention that the dancers pull their shirts off in the final chorus. Sorry not to mention that sooner, we were looking the other way. Also can we talk about how ugly the outfit looks?!

Dutch 89,282 Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 (edited) Rehearsal 3: 🇱🇹 Lithuania – Silvester Belt - Luktelk Every year at Eurovision there are a handful of performances with bass so deep it vibrates through the arena floor and you can feel it in your chest. Luktelk from Lithuania’s Silvester Belt is the first of those this year – it’s a full body experience. Luktelk translates as ‘wait/hold on’, and according to Silvester the song is about being stuck in limbo between two stages of barely existing and feeling alive, when you have to hold on and dance through whatever life throws at you. Can confirm we are dancing, and have never felt more alive. The staging for this needs no props – similar to the Lithuanian national finals, EUROVIZIJA.LT – it’s Silvester in his red leather suit, backed by four male dancers with masked faces and lots of red and back strobe lighting. The masks have had an upgrade - less like turtlenecks and more like black hoods. No pyro for Lithuania. Edited April 27 by Dutch 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah pathetic thing, but still we'll have videos on Twitter by people in the arena and that israhelli fad may not be that happy to perform there anymore if she sees how people are against them being there JOYRIDE 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch 89,282 Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 (edited) Rehearsal 4: 🇮🇪 Ireland – Bambie Thug – Doomsday Blue Ready for something completely different? Not just from Lithuanian electro-pop, but from everything else you’re going to hear at Eurovision this year. Ireland’s Bambie Thug describes their sound as ‘Ouija-pop’, because it entirely defies conventional musical categorisation – our best description would be ‘witchy metal/melodic pop’. Doomsday Blue is about the feeling of having your potential overlooked, and is an ode to the queer community. So: staging. Bambie is inside a circle of candles, wearing a black dress with a tutu skirt and shoulder horns. Their usual dramatic white face makeup is topped with hair styled into antlers. There’s also a bare-chested dancer giving centaur vibes, who accompanies Bambie in some balletic choreography. In the final section the candle circle raises up, and the big screamo finish concludes with a graphic backdrop of CROWN THE WITCH. Pure Eurovision theatre, and testament to the diversity of musical styles we're going to see at Eurovision this year. 🔥 PYRO UPDATE: In the final run-through there is both low-level ground smoke throughout, AND our first flame jets of the day, right at the end. We are twenty metres from the stage and can feel the heat. Edited April 27 by Dutch 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
