Right – if ANYONE has a direct line to the Slovenian delegation, please please PLEASE can you call and tell them to not “do the thing” they’re doing in this song … because it looks shite and unprofessional.
For the first two minutes, this song is a very average song from a very average singer, who minces around the stage with her whole backing group, being ‘strong and independent’ with the help of lights and a strong thumping beat.
Then (spoiler) there is a FIFTEEN-SECOND gap in the music, where they stop everything, ask what is going on, and implore the audience to ‘start clapping and then the music will start’. It came across as cheap and nasty, and unnecessary. Someone at RTP needs to say “what the hell are you doing?”. It didn’t work with Barei and it’s not going to work for Lea. This song was in with a shout now, though, it should be plumb last.
The table and the press centre have an Angry Face.
[…] Slovenia – SOMEONE NEEDS A WORD NOW! […]
