While waiting for the first run-through to begin we can hear S10 warming up her voice. She occasionally quacks a bit like a duck.
Postcard: The drone flying under some bridges over some river, then S10 being projected on some old buildings. I'm starting to see a pattern.
And we're live. The stage is very dark apart from the LED-part of the sun which is kind of off-white and beige. S10 is wearing black trousers, white sneakers, and a black cropped bellybutton-showing blazer with nothing underneath. (A 2022 version of this?). She's all alone on stage, starting off on a black podium lined with white LED-lights. Later on she takes a walk to the front of the stage.
Vocals: She's sounding very competent and hits every note just fine.
Is it live: During the oh-oh and ah-ah bits of the chorus there are some audible backing vocals. As they're not seen on stage it's possible that they're pre-recorded, but they also sound quite live. So they could be off-stage backing singers that we haven't seen in the soundcheck photos yet.
Colours: Black. Lots of black.
Will it qualify: It comes across as a pretty safe one to do so. If it does, I think it would be the first song in Dutch to qualify from a Eurovision semifinal since 1996?
