Greetings to the world!
Live from the media centre in Bazel, this is a report of the second dress rehearsal of the second semi final. We watch the show on big TV screens, seeing the feed as it would be shown in the actual broadcast. As in the previous blog on another run-through of the same semi, I will mainly focus on camera work and the artists' overall performance and connection.
01. Australia
Camerawork: It looks an awful lot like the Made in Switzerland interval act we saw yesterday which is unfortunate.
Artist: Convincing yet also a bit distant throughout.
02. Montenegro
Camerawork: Efficient if perfunctory.
Artist: Gives it all she got, but the issue isn't her.
03. Ireland
Camerawork: Surprisingly coherent and effective.
Artist: She really tries but doesn't seem to enjoy herself fully.
04. Latvia
Camerawork: Outstanding.
Artist: Flawless vocals but their uniqueness will rub viewers the wrong way.
05. Armenia
Camerawork: Fits the song and performance excellently.
Artist: Gotta give it to him, he's great.
06. Austria
Camerawork: Film noir.
Artist: Not as convincing as he should be in his position right now, unfortunately. Forced.
XX. United Kingdom
Camerawork: All over the place, which fits the song.
Artists: They are having a great time which is lovely for them.
Still now for many performances we get random shots of audience members before or after postcards because the stage isn't ready yet.
07. Greece
Camerawork: A true piece of art except for the one ugly shot where you can see the electric cord of Klavdia's rock.
Artist: A gem.
08. Lithuania
Camerawork: Many short shots and nice visual effects during the chorus to really make this stand out and make it look more energetic.
Artist: Disengaged but in the best possible way.
09. Malta
Camerawork: Almost every shot zooms out and it gets tiring but other things about this get more tiring.
Artist: She's a diva all right but she's very off vocally.
10. Georgia
Camerawork: -
Artist: -
I'm very sorry, this completely went me by.
XX. France
Camerawork: It looks like a music video which for what they are trying is very effective.
Artist: She's very nervous tonight and not always in tune, but the vulnerability works.
11. Denmark
Camerawork: Really very nice, if a bit too much sometimes.
Artist: She's still recovering from being sick but gives it all she has which is commendable.
12. Czechia
Camerawork: Artsy and gorgeous.
Artist: Very good and endearing, yet also very nervous tonight.
13. Luxembourg
Camerawork: Outstanding.
Artist: Impeccable. Blown away by how slick this is.
14. Israel
Camerawork: Effective.
Artist: Off-key a few times.
In case you're wondering: I hear from someone in the arena right now that there was no obvious booing.
XX. Germany
Camerawork: The performance is rather static but they make it seem a lot more energetic which is really well done.
Artist: She tries.
15. Serbia
Camerawork: Just really pretty and effective. It fits the song and the DRAMA so well.
Artist: Holding back a bit but still very good.
16. Finland
Camerawork: Like in UMK.
Artist: Also like in UMK? Shamelessly herself in all glory. Make of that what you want.
