Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Not much changed here either. Mélanie and her drummers are in the dark forest, she's waving her veil and belting out the song. Everything is nice in a way; the song, her vocal capacities, the staging... yet it's just nice. Forgettable. I don't see why this should qualify and take a place from some other entry that is more interesting and entertaining?

Another forest. Another cape. We are having trends this year for sure. Swiss Mélanie belts her tune in a white long dress we don't see at first as she's covering it in a black (lace again?) cape or veil or something that she uses also a lot to give the idea she is actually spreading her wings and flying. In the dark blue forest with four ladies that drum it away...  She has strong vocals, and so do her backing singers. The sound in the vid below is rather chaotic but I'm sure it sounds in the real feed. I hope. This is one of the songs I never cared much of, but maybe this staging makes it bearable....

Melanie Rene has won the Swiss national final moments ago. Time to shine ? For me this goes to the same category as the two warriors.... What's it with female singers and these mid-tempo dark songs? 1. Mélanie René – Time to Shine 2. Timebelle – Singing About Love 3. Licia Chery – Fly 4. Andy McSean – Hey Now 5. Tiziana – Only Human 6. Deborah Bough – Take Me Back to 23 Also Conchita was there singing Rise like a Phoenix
