Eurovision Rehearsals 2022

[Raining on Me]

Czech Republic really SLAPPED as well

This on the other hand has been totally slept on and benefits from being one of the only bangers worth anyone's time this year.

However I am getting slightly more competent Dance Alone vibes which is not nearly good (or iconic) enough. You'd like to think they'd qualify at least if only to give the final a bit of a pulse...

 

[Raining on Me]

I really thought Estonia was a potential winner But it feels like he doesn't even want to be there or is just exhausted or something, I don't know but it's not hitting like I imagined.

 

[Madíson]

Surely the juries won’t let that singing like Czech through?

I think Brooke sounds worse, or at least is more exposed, not that that's much of a comfort. But Czech Republic do feel like a fitting closer which might win *just* enough public support and maybe the juries won't crucify it as much as they might in other years. But yes, the vocal is hardly encouraging..

Well it’s not like there’s a plethora of those to begin with

 

[Soldi]

Already nervous for tomorrows running order

IMAGINE if we draw second half then Sweden and Ukraine draw first half

 

[Soldi]

‘Ar Sam is up shortly…

 

[Madíson]

I wonder how the big four’s odds will change after the draws/rehearsals.

Currently:

Italy 7.7
UK 16.2
Spain 18.7
France 105
(Germany )

Then what?

 

[Saltwater]

She's talking live over him but u can still hear him

 

[VoR]

HOLY FUCK SPAIN

 

[Soldi]

France draw FIRST HALF

 

[ButterTart]

Jesus, the last 30 seconds of Space Man sound amazing.

 

[Saltwater]

Jesus, the last 30 seconds of Space Man sound amazing.

 

[Kevin]

HOLY FUCK SPAIN

How about the UK?

 

[VoR]

How about the UK?

WHO CARES?

 

[VoR]

Spain have delivered the Fuego meets prime J.Lo banger this year desperately needed.

The song has been revamped to add a mariachi intro, harder beats, a bigger dance break and a reveal that caused the press centre to erupt into genuine GAY HYSTERIA.

 

[Kevin]

WHO CARES?

I DO!

I really don't care about SloMo.

 

[VoR]

Oh fine, UK sings very good. The stage show is basically an expensive version of I'm In Love by Sanna Nielsen, complete with awkward shots of the stage hands pulling down the rigging midway through. He also randomly gets an electric guitar before the final chorus, which he pretends to play on in a not very convincing way.

It's was well received for sure, but it's all a bit THE DARKNESS for me. And Spain genuinely blew him out of the water,

 

[ButterTart]

I DO!

I really don't care about SloMo.

I like SloMo, it's just a solid 8 rather than anything spectacular.

Obviously I hope it manages top ten, just as long as the UK beats it.

 

[Madíson]

I’m going to try to be disciplined and watch no more videos of the UK until the live performance next week.

 

[Saltwater]

Do we know if Spain have kept the dance break in? I do hope so!

By the sound of it yes, @VoR do you confirm?

 

[VoR]

By the sound of it yes, @VoR do you confirm?

Yes and it bangs SO MUCH HARDER. One of the best revamps since Sertab.

 

[Madíson]

[D5K]

The guitar seems like a strange choice for Sam. But I'm too excited to get distracted by that.

 

[D5K]

And anxious about our running order too - now fearful the producers put us on first.

 

[VoR]

For the record I wasn't all that into Slo Mo beforehand either, as discussed on my Podcast with @dUb OUT NOW.

 

[ButterTart]

And anxious about our running order too - now fearful the producers put us on first.

That would be such a dick move by them. I don't think the song really suits going on first, it's more of a moment than an opener.

 

[Kevin]

I like the song and I think the performance is great. Around 8th seems fair to me. The UK should beat everything.

 

[Nancy]

Are the UK in the first or second half?

 

[D5K]

Are the UK in the first or second half?

We'll find out any minute now.

 

[rhythmbandit]

I wouldn't object if Sam was in the first half before the break.

*ends up 2nd in running order*

 

[VoR]

LOL, poor sad Germany having to follow that!

 

[D5K]

The UK has moved ahead of Sweden on Betfair Exchange. Spain's odds don't really seem to have shifted much yet.

 

[Saltwater]

Sweden didn't look very much of a moment in that rehearsal clip they uploaded.

 

[COB]

Sweden is one that really comes alive in-camera, I'd expect.

 

[D5K]

Apparently Space Man has had a revamp and the "gravity keeps pulling me down" bit has been replaced by a guitar solo. Shame, that was one of my favourite bits.

That part is still in. The guitar solo is later in the song (near the end).

That'll teach me for trusting wiwibloggs then.
