Slovenia kicked of the fay four rehearsals and they have the youngest singer this year, 16-year-old Eva Boto. The whole affair is a bit dreamlike with a clever use of lightning and wavy fabric in the backdrop at first. Gone are the strange head pieces and the whole choreography has been redone which is only a good thing! It's kinda renaissance with those flowers in the dress and all. Why am I thinking Feminnem (as in Lako je sve)? Hard to say if this will qualify. I like it, mind you but is it typically finishing 10th-12th everywhere = not many points. But I hope they do, they deserve it! More here.
Croatia follow and Nina has brought three female backing singers and two male dancers with her. There's no doubt she has a fantastic voice. I also like the song even if it may not be the most immediate to appreciate. The backdrop is clouds like in her video and time will tell if the dancing guys will be dressed up - or down - like in the video as well? They all stay close to Nina while the guys do their thing, the ladies to their thing and Nina joins in occasionally with the guys or the girls. Even the floating fabric makes an appearance....
Both Slovenia and Croatia are borderline qualifiers for me, I like them both but coming back to back and not being the easiest songs with the first hearing... Well, we will know next Thursday! More here.
