One of the most anticipated stage shows must be that of Ukraine. year after year they manage to turn a mediocre song a real contender with their huge or clever staging. Remember last year's sand painter? And can you remember the song?
Ukraine has props alright, borrowing Blue's idea last year by doubling its dancers with screens. So, once again they did. it surely looks grand but personally this song is among the last 3-4 this year. And not so convinced on Gaitana's vocals either. Big isn't always beautiful or better.... This is an anti-song. Besides, borrowing the football song for Eurovision isn't anything new either, remember Olé olà? More here.
Bulgaria follows with another dance song going to the opposite direction: less is more. I enjoy this much more. Purple and white stripes for Sofi after Ukraine's colorful act creating a nice contrast also because Sofi is alone on stage. I'm relieved they didn't add some useless dancers and gimmicks to this! Well done Bulgaria! More here.
