Zo te lezen aan de bloggers heeft Carl de repetitie vandaag erg goed gedaan

ESCUnited:
The performance opens with the camera focused on a male pianist playing the opening melody.
A spotlight comes on Carl, who is wearing a blue shirt and black blazer. As he sings smoke fills the stage, lit in dark blues.
Upon the chorus four female violinists appear on a small-sloped stage to the right, wearing blue and white outfits to match the background of a swelling sea.
Olivia: There is something truly beautiful and sincere about Carl’s performance. He sung effortlessly, and you cannot help but be touched by the emotion behind his eyes. He sounds very polished for a first rehearsal.
Gerry: It’s very simple and dramatic. I think it’s a good song, but I feel like his eyes aren’t selling the song.
Christian: This has all the ingredients to become a classic Eurovision song. A ballad with a pure raw emotion and a voice that leaves you wanting to hear more. I would like a song like this to win. A simple but effective and touching ballad. The lights and visuals are stunning and does a good job to show what a silent storm is like. I could be persuaded to think of Antony & the johnsons or the sweet swedes Eskobar but then again Carl has his own voice and even though I know from previous years that some ballads are used as toilets breaks please do not let this one be one of them.It felt at the first rehearsal that Carl was holding his voice a little back but that would only show that he knows how to take care of his voice and blow us even more away at the actual night.
