So we’re in the Press Centre and we have the Big 5 to come. I missed most of Germany, partly as we were still getting here, but mostly because I couldn’t care less. Molly is just up now…
This is pretty good for a first, and technically technical rehearsal. Molly is stage forward, drums behind her with two backing singers either side. No costumes today, and Molly has her hair pinned up. There are swirling patterns on the backdrop and the floor, and in the first run through some really nice swooping camera shots, one of which zooms right up into the upper framework of the stage. It’s a traditional set up, and delivery, but suits it very well. Looking and sounding good so far!
In the second run through Molly was much more engaging, smiling and looking like she’s enjoying herself. There are some lovely shots of lanters rising up the backdrop, really effective. She’s settled into this well. A big round of applause in the press centre, and the quip that we should qualify with this 😉
Third run through and this is looking brilliant! One of the Spanish fans just came and asked if we’ll have the EuroClub in Piccadilly Circus next year. Steady. Steady…
And OMFG! The last run through has a wall of falling pyros! I’ve never seen the press centre erupt so much when they started, and a HUGE cheer at the end! Could it be…? I’ve got goosebumps just thinking about it…

How loud are the backing singers Monty? Ridiculously (see the preview video/reaveal) or not quite so ridiculously (see Graham Norton on Friday).
The backing vocals are fine, absolutely perfect. This is looking and sounding really good. Very, very impressed.
