Second rehearsal - Ireland

Brooke tells us at the start with a lot of echo on her mic that it’s gonna be a steadycam (steadycamsteadycamsteadycamsteadycam)

[Sidenote: Sorry this postcard of Brooke twirling in 6th form media student graphics superimposed on a city wall is so cheesy.]


Pre-rehearsal bias check: 🇮🇪 we love this one, but are not necessarily expecting a qualifier.


Brooke starts lying down on a giant heart but is on her feet and dancing very quickly. The choreography all feels a bit 1997 and incredibly cheap in not-quite-a-Sugar-way.


The spoken verse feels a bit karaoke, but the bop itself remains strong, and Brooke seems to enjoy herself.


The colour scheme uses blues and pinks and Brooke is wearing a blue outfit (with blue gloves(!)) that wouldn't be out of place on Michelle in Derry Girls.




Verdict: The vocals aren't strong, but it doesn't necessarily matter in a song like this. It feels like it might be a bit too lightweight to edge into the top 10 in the more diverse semi.
