ESF Eurovisie Songfestival
Het Eurovisie Songfestival
Ik zag de stories van EiC gisteren en daar kwam Kyle over als Bambi. Alsof hij op schoolreis was. Ontwapenend, maar je gunt hem ook een ervaren delegatie die hem door Eurovision loodst.
1e repetitie, van de live blog van Eurovision:
10:30 CEST: Rehearsal 1: 🇳🇴 Norway - Kyle Alessandro – Lighter
First up today it’s 19-year-old Kyle Alessandro from Norway, who is rehearsing his song Lighter. He’s a singer, songwriter and producer from Steinkjer in Trøndelag, although his father is Spanish, so he also spends a lot of time visiting family in Malaga.
Lots of elements of this staging have travelled directly from MGP, including the prop with the two stone pillars and the steps. But Kyle has a much bigger LED backdrop for a series of post-apocalyptic mountain graphics (mountains definitely a theme this year), and also a much bigger stage to work with. He takes full advantage of this, with a very polished dance routine that uses both the walkway and the wide front section (which the crew call the ‘frame stage’, by the way, so we will too).
What elevates this performance to ‘off the scale’ is the lighting – there’s a moving lighting rig on the roof that lowers in the second half, creating a stunning moment in the quiet middle eight after the dance break, when Kyle is caught in hundreds of spotlights in the middle of the stage.
As for Kyle’s costume, there’s been lots of discussion about whether he might change the armour because of similarity to Armenia’s Parg, then he confirmed he was keeping the armour, but it would be a new version. If he has changed it, we really can’t tell – to our (admittedly untrained) eyes, it looks exactly the same. Also one other small point – Kyle has three dancers rather than the four we saw at MGP, and one of them delivers some impressive breakdancing at the end.
🔥 PYRO UPDATE! Again similar to MGP, there's a channel of flames along the front of the frame stage, and jets of flame through the second half. Anyone in the standing area should bring marshmallows.

IT'S GREYSIE IT'S PARTY
Oef dat is niet best. Bij mij duurde het een twee à drie weken voordat de pijn weg was. Hopelijk kan hij snel herstellen, maar het is niet ideaal in zo'n hectische omgeving.
Op
Dat is balen voor hem zeg.
Aan de andere kant misschien wel even goed voor hem om gedwongen rust te nemen, zodat hij volgende week er echt kan staan en niet teveel door het Eurovisiecircus opgeslokt wordt.
Neem aan dat hij zijn tweede repetitie nog wel gaat doen, maar gewoon in aangepaste vorm. Goede pijnstilling er in, minder dansen en tijdelijk playbacken.
