Pre-rehearsal bias: 🇲🇰 A good song unlikely to come across on stage.
This is my first time seeing the black sun. It casts a bad light on the start of the performance, but the camera sticks to Andrea enough to negate the impact throughout the rest of the song.
The blue lights and her black outfit keep things a bit too dark.
She tries to emote into the lyrics a little too much and it affects the vocals standard (ouch) and her likeability (with the sneering of the music video still here). The adlibs feel unnatural and aren’t working. Andrea shakes her head in disappointment after the first run through.
Now we’ve seen it from the start, the ‘flag’ intro looks great - channelling Oslo 2010.
The long shot slowly zooming in as the mellow start to the song kicks in is super beautiful. In fact, overall this is a pretty staging with the blue black storm clouds turning into a golden sun at the end.
The black raincoat (with Swarovski crystals) over black pants isn’t cheering anybody up, as Andrea remains committed to channelling April Ludgate.
Verdict: A typical North Macedonia result (will perform worse than the song deserves)
