Switzerland Sinplus 1st rehearsal
Sinplus basically is what Litesound could be if they kept rock version - looking and sounding good and fresh, has all it's drive. It's a bit of empty on stage though with Sinplus brothers in front and rest of band members in the background.
Issues.....tissues and real dramas...
So a few thing's here are really screwed...
No Food for starters......seriously FFS sort this out.....how stupid.....we will die of starvation and then there will be no AMAZING Baku contest
Interviews......open plan rooms with no doors do not work for interview rooms.....STOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPIDDDDDDDDD
And the air con needs to go on right now!!!!
Iceland (1st rehearsal, 2012)
Iceland-2012 is slow folk-version of Euroband's "This Is My Life" (I've just found out that choruses sound quite similar to me) where Regina is replaced by Yohanna.
Gretta's hairstyle, work of camera, moves and even vocal manner are quite Yoahhenesque when minimalistic performance, all those artists' synchronous looks and moves reminding Euroband a lot.
Jónsi starts vocally a bit shaky going in a light of projector joining Gretta playing violin, together and when Gretta sings solo it sounds very strong. When 4 backing vocals join this is POWERFUL, at least in arena (I'm neutral to this song in studio-version by the way). LEDs show computer graphic of blue mountains viewer is moving through, they go red on key change. It should look effectively as Yohanna's background's change but I think in this case it works better in arena than on camera.
It's a strong performance and it has a big chance to qualify but early draw doesn't give 100% quarantee.
