The UK, as ever, trying to win a different contest

Finally I can say, we’re different in the UK. Techno Charleston never lies, no it cries “Here I am!”.Look, given that that’s the choice of entry, and given that the promo video was the choice of image, I have to give a hat-tip to the attempt at recreating the sheer busyness on a live stage with 6 people. The Art Deco backdrop looks appropriate and correct. Vocally surprisingly secure, albeit that I’m finding the backing singers/dancers’ d-d-d-dance to be a little too prominent. Bianca’s neon backpack looks a little too… visible. It shouldn’t be the thing that draws your eye, given all the other stuff that could and frankly should be drawing your eye.

Still, it’s nice to see a couple around here that aren’t throwing shoes at each other, inappropriately kissing when they’re supposed to be singing, turning out to be murderers or advocating the virtues of all lighting a candle. Which of course, yes we shoooould.

Is it actually the right choice of entry? Only Mr. God knows, though I suspect not. I’ll tell you next Saturday, if you like. Round about midnight CET, that’s 23:00 UK.
