quote:13:24 The Netherlands
Back from lunch, with the Common Linnets. Ilse and Waylon share a 'common' microphone stand, which splits into two, providing a microphone for each of the performers. The duo are joined on-stage by a cellist, a drummer and a guitar-player. Cameras linger above the pair at the beginning of the rehearsal, as a lighting effect recreates a moving road between the two. Focus then moves very much onto the singers, who appear to look very 'intense' - there is a lot of straight-to-camera staring and at eachother! The backdrop is again very dark and moody, as is the LED floor - something of a surprise for this kind of song. There are no sweeping stage-shots at all - it's all very much about what is happening on-stage. These two very consummate performers are clearly comfortable on-stage however.
quote:A perfect first run through for the Netherlands. The camera starts above the duo and zooms in to Ilse and Waylon who are faced in front of each other for the full song. The camera circles around the two, although the pair have been joined by a contrabass player, a guitarist and drummer.
The stage floor has been transformed in a concrete road with signs onto until somewhere mid way the song when thorns and tree trunks take over and intertwine on the stage floor. During the second run through I noticed towards the end how the stage flooring turns really white grey'ish and how it's very overpowering. Perhaps they should tone it down a little.
Overall however, it's really effective staging for a non-typical Eurovision song.
The camera work is cleverly done as well, with a few moments where there's eye contact with the camera and let me tell you, Waylon's deep eyes are going to captivate you.
Vocally, Ilse and Waylon are top notch. Didn't expect anything different from them in all honesty.
Hé da's tof!quote:Op woensdag 30 april 2014 00:09 schreef Jif het volgende:
Wiwi: I wasn’t a huge fan of this song until I saw Ilse and Waylon rehearse. Taking a cue from Anouk, they understand that pared down and dark can really work. It’s organic to their number and helps draw out the emotion of the song. Although they do stand in place, the camera angles and all the panning in and out give this a bit of dynamism. Don’t let the 30-second clip fool you! The rain falls and the wind blows—but the Common Linnets still shine…
Ja ik vond ze ook bijzonder positief. En daarnaast doet Nederland het in die WIWIBLOGG-poll niet zo heel erg slecht:quote:Op woensdag 30 april 2014 00:10 schreef Greys het volgende:

Hé da's tof!
Want die schreven inderdaad in eerste instantie dat ze het saaier dan saai vonden en de neiging hadden na het luisteren om te checken of de artiesten nog wel 'pulse' hadden
