April 18, 201510 yr Good vocal performance but wow it's even more chemistry devoid than Molly's performance last year - hope they sort that out for the final!
April 18, 201510 yr They can sing in tune so the statistical likelihood of a national embarrassment on May 23rd is unlikely.
April 18, 201510 yr Good vocal performance but wow it's even more chemistry devoid than Molly's performance last year - hope they sort that out for the final! Agreed. They don't really interact in any meaningful way considering the lyrics - it came across a lot better in the music video.
April 19, 201510 yr CD single released tomorrow - Doubt it will make an impact on the charts though :lol:
May 7, 201510 yr Author Admittedly I haven't found it myself yet but according to an ESC Nation poster, BBC Media Centre say on an article of theirs that ".... Meanwhile back in London, a surprise spokesperson will deliver the voting results from the United Kingdom." :cheer:
May 8, 201510 yr Author It's Terry Wogan. :( Ever since he basically ruined Eurovision in the UK since the late 1990s I can't stand him. Anyway, that Graham Norton performance for Electro Velvet was not great at all. Even though Bianca says that's not the staging for Vienna, I think it will be seeing as they only had 6 people on stage. So it looks like they are singing all the backing vocals ("dance! dance") themselves which worked pretty well. However the stage looked so static despite the dancers and so bare, and it comes across incredibly amateurish. This extra special surprise in Vienna needs to be incredibly special to get this going over the 10 point mark, and the camerawork needs to be of The Common Linnets standard of excellence to achieve anything. With a draw in the first half, this is in real danger of finishing bottom of the pile and it could be down to Ireland and Malta, and maybe the San Marino jury, to save this from zero. It is just so amateurish and nowhere near the standard of every entry that will make the final. On the plus side, Bianca looked fantastic and both of their vocals were decent enough. And I love them as people from all the pre-party interviews.
May 8, 201510 yr That performance was horrendous! :lol: The vocals were absolutely fine but everything else was so bad. The pair looked awkward and completely lacked chemistry, what was with the guy just staring at the girl everytime he wasn't singing - it looked creepy rather than them being in love. The dancing by them both, especially the girl, was so rehearsed and stiff, rather than feeling natural. This could be a contender for nil points.
May 8, 201510 yr Author It felt like they were making a bit of progress, gaining a bit of momentum during their pre-party tour - and they were the only act to visit all four so well done to them for that - but seeing a proper TV performance for the first time, aside from that Greatest Hits concert video, has probably put them in an even worse position than the initial reveal. To be fair to Bianca she has been doing that little dance in every single performance and at least she does some movement, but Alex looks so out of place. But yes, if they draw the first half a week on Wednesday in their press conference, zero points is a big possibility. It is unfortunately at Josh Dubovie levels of amateurishness, and he managed his ten points before the full 1-27 jury/televote ranking system something which is going to make it even more difficult for Electro Velvet to get points.
May 9, 201510 yr The fact he just stands there grinning is horrific - He needs to move or do something. There seems a distinct lack of interest in the song from the general public despite all the initial hype, The GN performance has helped the song just scrape the Top 150 on iTunes.
May 9, 201510 yr Their live performances seem to have got worse, someone break out the emergency choreography quick!
May 9, 201510 yr So wooden :drama: The scat/'sounding good sugar' is still going to be the most cringey moment of this year's contest by a mile, short of a miracle.
May 9, 201510 yr :lol: i have just listened to our entry for the first time and it's absolutely horrendous. what the actual f***.
