After that Azerbaijan, which I’m sad to say didn’t really work for me. There are two dancers representing the wolves, which really ought to have stayed metaphorical and in Elnur’s head. They’re proper distracting, and add nothing to the presentation at all. Elnur sings it fine, and has managed to lose those elaborations he picked up in the preview parties. But it’s not good enough to win and I’m now thinking he’ll be lucky to get top 10.
A sweet – and surprisingly moving – moment in the Israeli press conference just now as a boy from the audience from Lebanon told Nadav he was #BuildingBridges with his song upon which Nadav called him up to the platform and exchanged hugs and flags.
