See, I know people who like this contest a lot but have genuine problems with strobe lighting effects. It’s not nice. So it’s got to the stage where if I see strobe lighting, I’m predisposed to see a person who’s said “I know this will cause some people major difficulties and I don’t actually care.”
Loïc has got a lot of bright white and strobe effects, which is a shame. As a work of minimalist art, it’s rather splendidly put together, mostly. He shows that he can sing right well, lying down, getting up, walking backwards, standing still – probing, challenging the 40% singers on the professional jury to admit that they could never sing that well while lying on the floor.
YOU COULDN’T, COULD YOU? YOU COULDN’T SING LYING DOWN! WORSHIP MY ELITE SKILLS!
That’s the subtle, dog-whistle message he’s sending out, and it’s a powerful one.
I’m sounding sarcastic. I need to stop, because this really looks like it could be top table material come Saturday week
