And Bulgaria is live!
Postcard: The robot drone is flying over a green countryside and some old castle-like structure.
The lead singer of Intelligent Music Project is today wearing his hair loose and curly. Starts of with a hat, which clearly gets removed. The performance is a pretty standard rock band line-up. Singer in the middle, people with instruments spread out on his sides. The drummer is on a podium to the left, the keyboardist on another podium to the right. They're all wearing various forms of black. Some of them glittery versions of it, but it doesn't come across as tacky.
In the last run-through I also noticed that the last shot of the song shows off the outline of a dove (the peacy kind) on the floor. Probably meant as an anti-war statement. But the outline is in a yellow-orangy colour which makes it look a bit as if it's on fire. (Is this the inspiration?)
Vocals: It sounds professional and solid. The guys all clearly know what they're doing. But there's also nothing new here that we haven't seen or heard before.
Is it live? I'm gonna say that a lot of what we hear probably is. The backing vocals in the chorus are probably mostly pre-recorded, since we hear more vocals than the number of people with microphones on stage. But it's nothing that's too obvious for a TV viewer.
Props: A half-globe shaped structure in front of the LED-part of the kinetic sun, which looks like a bunch of 🔉-shaped speakers. Two podiums.
Colours: Starts off very grey and white, then spends some time with blues and oranges until it eventually ends with a lot of yellow.
Is it a qualifier? This type of music definitely has it's audience, and they're performing this professionally and like a textbook example of how to perform an 80s rock song. But there is probably not much in there to make people who aren't normally fans of this music pick up their phones and vote.
