SwissMonster 28,787 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 12 minutes ago, Dutch said: 14:10: Rehearsal 5: 🇨🇿 Czechia – Aiko – Pedestal Time for our first pop/rock anthem of the season, with Czechia’s Aiko singing her high energy belter Pedestal. Aiko was born in Russia, raised in Czechia, and now splits her time between London and Prague. We are very excited to tell you that we have been given STAGING NOTES by the Czechia team, which has literally never happened before (note to other delegations: yes please). They tell us that Aiko’s staging concept represents the five stages of grief during a breakup – Aiko is accompanied on stage by four female dancers, each representing Denial, Anger, Bargaining and Depression. Aiko herself represents the fifth and final stage – Acceptance. The costumes are black bodystockings with mesh sections and lots of sparkle, and Aiko’s dancers have sparkly mesh face coverings. Aiko has a similar top section but with wide-legged trousers. Also the CUBES are fully deployed in this performance – starting just a few feet above the performers’ heads, creating a more enclosed, domestic-feel environment that gets bigger and less confined as the cubes lift. Lots of black and red strobe lighting, and a really nice moment towards the end when Aiko’s dancers lift her above their heads. Aikonic, as we believe the kids are saying these days. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 PYRO UPDATE! Czechia have brought some relationship breakup flame jets that heat up the arena for the the entire first verse and the bridge into the second chorus, then return for a big finish. Definitely adds to the drama and storytelling. Also this looked sooo good. This semi being the ultimate slayage already.

Juanlittlem 41,544 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 13 minutes ago, Dutch said: 15:40 CEST: Rehearsal 7: 🇩🇰 Denmark – Saba – Sand Saba from Denmark is up next, rehearsing her song Sand. This power ballad builds from the soft, low-key start to the huge crescendo finish, and the staging does the same - using lighting and glittery graphics to add layer upon layer until Saba’s vocals fill the whole arena. It’s very similar to the staging we saw at Denmark’s national final, Melodi Grand Prix, just on a bigger and more epic Malmö scale. Saba is wearing a white pant suit - if it's not the same she wore at MGP, it's very similar. The pockets are filled with sand, and she scatters it as part of really beautiful armography routine that mirrors a projected version of Saba on the LED wall behind her. Really simple, but all the more impactful for it. Lots of floor smoke in the final run-through, which gives the whole performance even more drama. I hate her 'cause she rehearsed her song like 7 times on Barcelona's preparty and we were TIRED OF IT.

Czechia gives me the vibes of a song that will flop but then become a huge radio hit.

Dutch 89,304 Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 (edited) Get ready because tomorrow we will have Latvia, San Marino, Georgia, Belgium, Estonia, Israel, Norway and Netherlands. Only songs that probably won’t copy their national final performance since they didn’t have one are Belgium, Israel, Georgia and NL. Where the staging for Belgium is already showcased on tv. Israel will probably come through and the hot mess NL will give is something to look forward to and meltdown over. Edited April 29 by Dutch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
