Greece 2021: Stefania - Last Dance

[D1ZZY]

Two days on and I LOVE this.

 

[Wir Butter 'ne Tarty]

Two days on and I LOVE this.

It's in my top three of the year. This, Cyprus and Finland.

 

[Эулия]

This is very close to being in my top three (as is San Marino ) but there’s no way she’s barging Raven Queen (and my Swiss and Lithuanian friends) out of the way although she MIGHT

 

[LoooooOOOOOooooOOOooocille]

This has ROCKETED into my top 5 much to MY SURPRISE!

 

[Эулия]

Why is it only FOURTEENTH in the odds? I‘m thinking potential winner if it‘s performed pleasantly which of course it won‘t be

Also, France FOURTH? With the juries maybe yes, in the televote NON

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

It's GREAT! The video is BATSHIT and who doesn't want some CASHED UP GREEK SCRAG trying to be DUA LIPA in their Eurovision final!

If they get the performance right (it's Greece so they WON'T) I honestly could see this challenging for the top 3...it's been a while since a PURE POP WINNER!

 

[Эулия]

I am truly dreading the staging for this one: probably her prancing around squawking with GOD KNOWS WHAT going on in the background

Also I have a sense that it may only work in its studio version incarnation and we‘ve been THERE before

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Shall we relive this DEMURE, UNDERSTATED moment?



Truly just WAFTED BY with barely a thought gone into how it looked visually

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

OMG when she comes out with the GIANT WHITE BALL

 

[Эулия]

Shall we relive this DEMURE, UNDERSTATED moment?



Truly just WAFTED BY with barely a thought gone into how it looked visually

I didn’t like this much anyway but I can‘t even look. I‘m still brought to tears at how clumsily ‘Oniro Mou’ was presented to the people of Europe

 

[VoRonika]

I think Cyprus are MUCH more likely to challenge for the win than Greece TBH.

 

[Эулия]

If Cyprus wins, I am going to kill myself and NEVER GO TO CYPRUS AGAIN

 

[Rim Soldi Tagi Dim]

Yeah loves this will be lucky to sneak a top ten

It’s good though.

 

[Darcus & Carnivus]

I weirdly found myself boping to this when it came up during my train trip yesterday.

 

[Apoca]

The lyrics in the chorus are LIMP - but they get away with it because thumping beat and DRAMATIC VIOLINS

 

[COB]

Because the official upload of the video doesn't seem to have been posted yet:

 

[LoooooOOOOOooooOOOooocille]

I don’t want to sound like a TIRED OLD EUROQUEEN but imagine this with an ORCHESTRA

 

[Эулия]

Yeah loves this will be lucky to sneak a top ten

It’s good though.

I bet you £2.75 and my used love eggs that it ends up higher than Cyprus

*doesn’t even get through the semi owing to laughably poor staging and tinny singing*

 

[RJN]

This has already really grown! I love the urgency of the background vocals

1. Donna summer - last dance
2. Dua Lipa - last dance
3. Stefania - last dance

 

[Penelope Will Rave]

LOVED this complete dogshit

 

[Tetris-Rock]

The staging is completely and utterly APPALLING. Lesley Roy AGOG.

 

[Diddy]

Yeah it felt like the gimmick was a good idea (and that outfit was outstanding), but once they had the green screen there was no concept, just random CGI city screensaver. At least throw a PEGASUS in there

 

[Beverley]

They ruined such a good song

 

[COB]

The concept could have worked with more thought - it definitely needed different backdrops - but the effect ended up looking much cheaper than I expected, it reminded me of the in-camera video effects from Eighties TV shows

 

[Darcus & Carnivus]

I actually had EXPECTATIONS here, specially after reading some of your opinions here on the rehearsals

Instead we got a wet turd, and I actually would’ve preferred to see Denmark go through.

 

[Rim Soldi Tagi Dim]

Yeah I’m with @COB

Decent idea but the backdrop was just SO TACKY!

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Somebody last night said they'd clearly just used the 2020 SuperGirl staging, and stuck Last Dance over the top of it, which makes TOTAL SENSE now I've thought about it

 

[Diddy]

The concept could have worked with more thought - it definitely needed different backdrops - but the effect ended up looking much cheaper than I expected, it reminded me of the in-camera video effects from Eighties TV shows

oh absolutely! I mean fair enough I don’t think I’ve seen green screen in Eurovision yet, but…

They definitely needed to have tried that before Sergey snatched all the wigs in 2016

 

[COB]

Does anyone remember that time that Mr Motivator crashed the weather forecast on GMTV and his leotard had lots of green bits on it? It was that, basically

 

[LoooooOOOOOooooOOOooocille]

I don’t like staging that looks like it’s not ON A STAGE, ie this and Lesley Roy. It looks like a cheap badly edited music video as opposed to a live performance.

 

[Diddy]

@COB reading my thoughts again

my mental process went from crap 80s video to weather forecast

 

[LoooooOOOOOooooOOOooocille]

It’s a bit RUDE that the audience in the arena has to witness THIS also!!!

 

[LoooooOOOOOooooOOOooocille]

It’s all a bit...

 

[Diddy]

It’s all a bit...

IS IT THOUGH? wtf is that

 

[LoooooOOOOOooooOOOooocille]

Minor ‘Always Sunny’ character GREEN MAN.

 

[D1ZZY]

The effort here is quite impressive even if it didn't truly pay off:

 

[Una Kratz per San Marino]

It is. Although 10th and top of the female led pop bangers is more than I was expecting.

It did significantly better than Cyprus, who saw that coming?

 

[Apoca]

Yeah, I thought this would land somewhere between 15th and 18th - absolutely not Top 10.

 

[Marina Salty]

Translation: Well this explains the shadows in Stefania's chroma key staging

 

[Penelope Will Rave]

TOLD YOU ALL THIS WAS AMAZING!
