I got to 1:16 of their 2nd rehearsal and both Nick and I said “No, no more” – Nick further commented that it’s a three-minute vocal warm up – and he’s probably right. The outfits look hideous with the girls in some sort of 1920’s effect things, the beat-boxing is all kind of wrong and they should be dispatched back to from where they came.
The only redeeming feature is that three minutes end before I can launch myself at the stage (from 21 miles away) and strangle them with my bare hands. It is interminably boring – and smug – and looks “clever” – but in this contest it falls far short of what is required.
In short, this is a contender for being plumb fat last with a Switzerland 2004 score. Prove me wrong, I dare you!
