Postcard: The drone is up late and is out flying around Italy at night. The drone's actually quite a cute little thing. It looks like it could be a pokémon. And it's been a while since we had some sort of mascot in the postcards, and this one is a nice upgrade from the Eurocat in 1990 and the birdlike creature in 1992.
The first run-through begins. As we feared, it's the rockier narodnozabavnified version of the song. It probably made some sort of sense to include both folklore and rock 'n' roll, as that's what they're singing about. But I wish the rock parts didn't sound so slapped-on last minute.
The guys seem to be wearing every piece of clothing they could find, not caring about anything actually having to match. There's big jackets, shorts, patterned suits, unny hats with tassles, fringy codpieces and a puppet hanging from the drums. isually there really is a lot going on. They all start off on the main stage, jumping and running around in all sorts of directions. Eventually the singer and two other members end up on the satellite stage.
Colours: Every colour of the rainbow. But the main colour theme seems to be purple and yellow.
Vocals: Totally fine for what it is supposed to be.
What's new: The lead singer does a kind of choo choo train sound at the end.
Is it live: There definitely seems to be some pre-recorded harmonies and shouts here.
Will it qualify: I've previously been certain that it will. But I'm not so sure after this. Visually it's just a LOT to take in. And this new version isn't really helping. So I'm far less confident in its chances now than I was before.
