Dutch 89,307 Posted May 2 Author Share Posted May 2 (edited) Rehearsal 2: 🇩🇪 Germany – ISAAK – Always On The Run It’s time for Germany’s ISAAK now, with his power ballad Always On The Run. Like lots of singer/songwriters, ISAAK honed his craft as a street musician - he put on an impromptu street performance before the Pre-Party in Madrid, so hopefully we’ll see him out and about on the streets of Malmö over the coming week too. This staging has had a major overhaul since Das Deutsche Finale back in February – ISAAK is also in a room, but rather than a filthy gym it looks like a very stylish living room, made from a black metal framework that means he can still be seen from all sides. It also has an open fire - and from the first chorus, all three sides of the room burst into flames, like the house is burning down. Hard to capture the atmosphere in words, but it's really impressive. The set sits under the middle cube, which has descended from the heavens to create a ceiling, but during the middle eight the whole set is wheeled away and it’s just ISAAK in the middle of the stage, wearing a black suit and flanked by four backing singers. Watching both on screen and on the stage, it’s a really impactful three minutes – ISAAK’s interaction with parts of the room, the flames, and the dynamic change of set halfway through really elevates what is already a powerhouse vocal. We’ve see SO much great staging over the past week – still four more performances to go, but it’s shaping to be a VERY good year.

I adore her song, it's been on repeat on my Spotify for weeks Her parents are rich and famous artists (even tho her dad died years ago) and she exploded because she did a talent show last year. But it wasn't fair, she had already producers, writes, album and songs ready, she's been pushed down our throats incessantly. Like her mom has been a guest judge of the same talent show this year it's a joke. Even her win at the Sanremo was a mess. 60% of the public voted for another artist, she won for the jury votes (and the same jury gave 0 to the other artist to not let him win). La Noia isn't even in the top 3 of the most sold and streamed songs of this year Sanremo Festival. I wish her all the best tho, but her success is nothing organic or natural.

Dutch 89,307 Posted May 2 Author Share Posted May 2 (edited) Rehearsal 3: 🇸🇪 Sweden – Marcus & Martinus – Unforgettable Time for Sweden’s favourite Norwegians to rehearse now - it’s Marcus & Martinus, bringing some twin dance energy to the Malmö arena. This song will open the Grand Final on 11th May, and WHAT a way to start the show. 22-year-old Marcus & Martinus haven’t released an official video for this song, because they didn’t need to - the staging at Melodifestivalen is basically watching a super-polished pop video being made in real time. They’ve brought the same show to Malmö, which means it’s our THIRD BOX OF THE DAY! The staging remains pretty much unchanged, down to the blue and black outfits and four backing singers in wraparound shades. But what feels entirely different is the scale - the cubes add a new dimension and elevated lighting effects, particularly after the box separates halfway through and the rest of the performance plays out at the front of the stage. From then the LED wall and the cubes go full pulsing neon, and the whole thing has so much bass it pounds through the floor. Hard to imagine how anyone isn’t going to be up and dancing in this arena next Thursday - this is a certified 'let's go to Euroclub' bop. Since we're all about the boxes, we're wondering what France, Spain and Italy have in store for us...Slimane in a glass cube? Suggestions please....

But honestly, Sanremo 2024 was the weakest Sanremo in the last few years, all the songs are forgettable.

Every other country is sending big names from their own country, so should the UK. It’s not their fault only their artists get big in Europe tbh. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
