15.00-17.30 - Dress Rehearsal - Generale Repetitiequote:Op zondag 11 mei 2025 20:01 schreef Blueberry. het volgende:
Weet iemand hoe morgen het programma eruit ziet?
- die de aanwezige pers geheel kan zien en omschrijven
21.00-23.30 - Dress Rehearsal - Jury Show
- juries stemmen nog steeds in semifinals als backup
Morgenmiddag is er geen stream in online perscentrum of wat dan ook. Enkel pers in de zaal die daar niet mogen filmen. Die kunnen dus alleen in woorden beschrijven wat ze zien. In de avond is er publiek bij dus krijgen we genoeg beelden.
Wat Momo al zegt hierboven:
Morgenmiddag is er dus idd nog géén stream met camerabeelden voor de pers. Ze mogen wel aanwezig zijn bij de repetities maar daar geen foto's maken en niet filmen.

Nog even terugkomen op Italie: Begrijp ik nou goed dat het hele optreden wordt ondertiteld? Konstraksta wilde dat ook in 2022 maar die kreeg daar geen toestemming voor.

Er verandert wel meer door de jaren heen voor en achter de schermen dus kennelijk mag het nu. Ik vind het wel een goed idee, zeker voor dat lied waar de lyrics echt allemachtig prachtig zijn en het zonde zou zijn als velen niet verstaan waar het over gaat.quote:

Maar ik denk dat ze ook niet willen dat straks de helft van de landen die in een andere taal dan Engels zingen dat gaan doen dus zou mij niet verbazen als het enkel refrein is ofzo.quote:

Ik las dat in diverse landen er sowieso al standaard ondertiteling is bij alle liedjes. In Finland zie je bv op tv onder alle liedjes de Finse vertaling.quote:

Ik ben het niet helemaal met het artikel eens, maar wel met de strekking. Wat nog niet genoemd wordt, is de fout die Martin Green telkens maakt, door het ESF te vergelijken met de openingsceremonie van de Olympische Spelen of zelfs de Gemenebestspelen. Het ESF is juist een landenwedstrijd, vergelijkbaar met het WK Voetbal. Daarvan hoeft er ook geen camera te staan op elk moment van de training of dat de hele wereld een bandje krijgt met beelden hoe Brazilië de corners neemt. Maar het is niet zo dat alles wordt gereduceerd tot een FIFA-liveblog en een paar beelden van 30 seconden.quote:
Die onderwerpen van Martin kun je hooguit vergelijken met de intervalacts. En daarvan wordt ook weinig prijsgegeven vooraf. Niet in het minst omdat het niemand wat boeit wat het plaatselijke muziekkorps en de oud-winnaars enzo gaan uitspoken. Net als het niemand boeit hoe er op de openingsceremonie van het WK weer een paar duizend man op het veld een mozaïek van vlaggen maken en er daarna één een bal wegschopt, die zogenaamd tussen de spelende kinderen in Afrika landt. Dat zien we dan wel, het is juist het competitieve karakter waarmee je de hype kan aanwakkeren.
De Sahara is zonder meer erg droog.
Nee, het is uiteindelijk natuurlijk wel de bedoeling dat er een commerciële en eigentijdse winnaar uitkomt met een breed bereik, zoals Tattoo of Arcade of desnoods een Italiaanse rockband. Maar niet één of andere Albanees in zijn eigen taal, waarvan de internationale Radio 2’s zich collectief afvragen wat ze er mee aan moeten.quote:

Ik weet het niet, niet in het perscentrum zelf denk ik want zie onderstaande regels. Misschien iemand op een hotelkamer die het geluid van de stream uitzet?quote:

Hij deed gisteren een livestream en gaf toen aan dat hij vanavond zou streamen. Ik vermoed vanuit zijn huisquote:
Doet Matt ook een stream of is die helemaal gestopt? Ik heb dat niet helemaal meegekregen
Als mijn berekening klopt, krijgen we vanavond tussen 22:00 en 22:15 de eerste reacties op hoe C'est la vie in beeld wordt gebracht.

First postcard, from VAEB, who receive a letter And we are transported to a sort of circus, where they meet with performers and play with a ball of light. The stage ready is up, and we’re in for the first performance.
The boys take their sunglasses early, before the first chorus (not including the introduction one), when the atmosphere turns to red, before turning to blue again for the actual chorus.
The boat is back, all white and painted, with the very efficient choreo used in Söngvakeppnin.
There is some augmented reality, with virtual, “LEGO-like” octopusses being thrown at the boys as they push theem back at the screen. There’s also a nice shot in the second pre-chorus, on them above a boat displayed on the LED floor, with no AR this time from what we saw.
The performance ends with a big VÆB graphic on the backscreen.

Second postcard: the artists are actually filmed receiving a postcard, and the camera zooms on it before being teleported to Switzerland. Justyna visits a Library, then sort of rakes snow on a mountain?
The performance then starts, with Justyna already on the ground, so she does not descend on the floor at the beginning. She is barely singing the verses but does belt out the chorus parts. She is clearly saving her voice for the more important performances.
She does grab the ropes from the ceiling to be elevated a few meters above the floor, with the dragon graphics flying behind her and on the LED Floor. The dragon is back when she’s down again, and sets the stage and the LED screens on fire. The press corps is going WILD!

Klemen also goes to a snowy mountain in his postcard, to play some curling. The set-up for the performance take a bit more time so we are served with audience shots before it begins.
The starry pattern on the frame and back LED screen is very efficient. Behind Klemen, some footage of his wife, and sometimes them together.
After the first chorus, a dancer puts a “harness” that’s not visible on camera, and as the second chorus begins, the famous upside down moment is bacj, with the dancers leaving Klemen floating in the air.
During the bridge (“I admire your power…”), the light bars descend in a slope-confirguration, like half a roof above him, in a very beautiful moment. Klemen’s wife arrives for the last chorus, all dressed in white, as the last shot show them face to face, and kissing after the end of the song.
Denk dat dit wel eens kan kwalificeren!

For his postcard, Tommy Cash is doing some roller, although he’s barely doing anything himself and is more the sort of referee or instructor for local girls doing roller.
The performance begins with a red curtain on the screen, which opens to show the graphics of the “Winners Café” from outside. The café then “opens up” and we see Inside. For the second chorus, eveything floats in the café, and then the screen shows the “Tommy cash” plane flapping his wings like a bird.
There is a fake stage invasion by a Tommy fangirl: Tommy looks surprised at first, then he dances with her.
There’s also quite a few nice moments with the security guard dancers, including one when they form a throne for hims to sit on.
“Coffee for everybody!” he shouts at the end.

We get the now mandatory explanation about the automatic qualilfiers, before Spain’s postcard. Melody meets a woman in Lucerne, and cooks some chocolate with her.
The performance begins with Mellody in her black dress with a long train, in front of the white screen, with her dancers hidden under the train.
She takes off her hat and train, and a set of curtains fall in front of her to let her take off the dress and then appear in her stunning white, sparkly outfit we saw in the pictures. As she perfoms the middle section of the song, a platform is set behind the curtains, with two sets of stairs on the side. The curtains are raised for the final section, which happens on the top of the platform.
She is giving us the best vocals and the arena is vibing, even if it’s mostly empty!

Wat meninkjes van Aussievision
Iceland 🇮🇸 SUPER energetic performance and great opener. The LEDs looks great and are aquatic themed. Vocals do get a little impacted by the performance.
Poland 🇵🇱 WOW GOOSEBUMPS!! Great LEDs, it’s OTT but it works. Her presence comes through the screen and in the stadium. Lots of pyros, movement around stage top notch. Huge reception with press. Just fantastic! ~ Dale
Slovenia 🇸🇮 beautiful starscape backdrop, uses some family video/pics as well. Those lights from 30 sec clip only come in at the end. Vocally not as strong as we’ve heard before. I feel it would need to improve a lot by tomorrow to be a chance.
Estonia 🇪🇪 that winners cafe LED opens up so it appears like they are inside. The plane LED then takes him to ‘Tommywood’ with an explosion of coffee bean LEDs. Dancers all the same as expected. Vocals are Tommy vocals.
Spain 🇪🇸 She has a fantastic dress reveal involving her dancers, LED floor use is great, she uses a lot of the catwalk while there is a curtain behind her covering that big plinth from the 30 secs clip. Her big note is SO powerful live, like WOW!
Ukraine 🇺🇦 They sound SO good. The 30sec clip pretty much shows you what the full performance will be. There is a lovely use of the lighting rigs at the ends almost like bird wings.

Ziferblat goes to Basel in their postcard, and also cook some meal with locals.
The performance begins with the high note of the beginning, on the main stage, then we switch to the frame stage where Daniel starts in front of a pilllar, and walks quickly to the main stage to join the backing vocalists. There are some shots on them when they perform the high notes, as they move their arms like birds.
We have some fireworks during the middle-eight, before Daniel starts again from the back of the main stage, and runs to the front for the last chorus, ending up on the walkway.
The blurry, bloom effect is back, although it looks less strong than in the footage we were shown.

NAJAAA
The sausage is very visible at the start. More than in melfest. For the rest the dancing routine and staging seems to be very similar. Notable are the animals in the back vibing in the forest
There is 2 female and 1 male backing dancers. The upgrade is fire being spewed out from the sauna pit in the bridge towards the finak chorus. For this they leave the Sauna and get to the front stage to do their ending dance! Nicely done, similar to melfest with a few upgrades!
//
KAJ are in Maggllingen for their postcard, where they partake in some sort of wrestling sport.
The current favourite is now performing! Not much has changed, except that there are only three dancers now. When they are at the same floor level, they are behind KAJ but slightly more on the right, like in staggered rows.
There are a lot of pyros for the bridge, and the laser show at the end is impressive. This remains a strong contender, and the press is in enthusiastic applause by the end!

The NAPA boys are tasting some wines in a cellar in Lavaux for their postcard.
The camera moves are very sow for the beginning of the song, with the camera unzooming as Guilherme slowly walks from the back of the stage to the front of the main one. He does not walk on the walkway before the end of the first chorus, accompanied by his guitarist an bassist.
The colours on the screen alternate between blue and pastel orange, with the final section having orange lights and pastel colours over a blue background. There’s some beautiful lightning at the end, and the press is also very enthusiastic about it. Qualification remains in doubt, though.

Noorwegen:
A dark sky with clouds in the background. Alessandro is sitting on a staircase. He is wearing his armor. In the pre-chorus everything turns red and the background is on fire. Two dancers have joined in and together they dance through the chorus. In the second verse they go to the front of the audience. In the second pre-chorus the flames in front of the stage are lit. The singing is powerful, but not always very "emotional", if you can put it that way. The dancing is natural. The dance break takes place somewhat in the dark. In the bridge Alessandro stands alone in the lighting tent. During the grand finale the sun rises in the background - but the flames also grow more numerous and higher.

Kyle joins boy-scouts in a forest in Egnach for his postcard.
He begins his performance sitting on the steps of his MGP prop, with two dancers joining him in the pre-chorus. The LED goes from a night to a rocky landscape engulfed in flames as the chorus hits, and remains so until the bridge.
Kyle and his dancers join the frame stage for the second chorus, as the ligh bars descend on the main stage for it, before going back up for the dance break, which is more impressive than in MGP.
We have some impressive saltos from a third dancer, who ends up performing break dancing on the frame stage as the rest of the performers finish the song on the walkway.

We’re back in Snowy mountains with Red Sebastian, at Jungfraujoch, described as “the top of Europe”.
He begins at the right end of the frame stage, and as he starts moving, triangles with a single red eye in them appear Under his feet and on the frame. As the first chorus (post-intro) begins, he kneels on the floor, which has turned white, and looks at the floor, as a red version of him appars on the back screen, as if he was filmed by the floor.
The routine we saw in the rehearsal footage has been kept, after which Red Sebastian joins the main stage, where the light bars are very low, and he concludes the performance with red everywhere.
//
16:21 CEST // Red Sebatian’s postcard was filmed at the Jungfraujoch.
16:22 CEST // Red Sebastian interacts with his own reflection on the LED floor.
16:23 CEST // Three dancers join Red Sebastian on stage, mimicking his movement. We’re calling them the Red Sebastians.
16:25 CET // Thousands of Red Sebastians appear on the background LED screen for the final drop.

Like Ziferbat, Lucio is in Basel for his postcard, and he is invited to ride on an old trammway. He was preparing for the Turquoise Carpet, basically.
The performance begins very much like it did in Sanremo, with the addition of the giant old radios/speakers we saw last Week. The lyrics are translated as subtitles, in a way that is very literal. Tommaso sings with him at some points, and their voices work very well together. It really feelks Sanremo-esque.
For the bridge, Lucio walks to the frame stage, followed by Tommaso. He then does his harmonica soo as Tommaso sings the backing voice of the chorus. It really feels like a live instrument, and it probaby is!

The performance is very much in line with the info we got from the rehearsals, with the band startin in and on the circle on the floor. The halo is lowered closer to them for the second verse.
We can't see all the camera shots, but Asef interacts with the camera a lot. Yesterday, on the Turquoise Carpet, he told us that this was very new for him and that he was getting used to it. It seems that it's working we for him!
He finishes the performance on a high note that gets some good applause from us.

He finishes the performance on a high note that gets some good applause from us.

For his posctard, Gabry Ponte is also cooking some stuff with locals, a grandmother this time, from Bruzella in the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino.
The giant head of David we saw in pictures is actually chewing a gum for the entire first verse, before making a bubble. For the chorus, it is repaced by pink silhouettes of people dancing, with “Tutta l’Italia” written in a graffiti font. For the second verse, they are replaced by two marble statue dancing together.
The references we see by the end are the Trevi Fountain, the Coliseum, a statue of Atlas, the Vitruvian Man and some renaissance paintings.

Shkodra Elektronika join the Basel-postcard club, where they examine paintings in a sort of museum.
Beatriçe begins the performance on the walkway, but walks to the main stage during the first verse. For this first part, she is alined with Kolë at the centre of the stage (with him in the middle and her in front). They only get face to face before the spoken words part, on a beautiful overhead stage. A small issue meant we did not hear the first words of Kolë but the mic went up after a few seconds. The camera alternates between both faces for this part, before the big finale.
Incredibly lourd applause from our side of the arena for this!

Klinkt heeeeel hoopvol! Ik gun het die mensen zo om een dikke score neer te zetten dit jaar (en wat mij betreft de winst, maar dat zal niet gebeuren).quote:

The Only Thing We Learn From History Is That We Learn Nothing From History - Hagel.
quote:Claude begint zijn lied heel klein met een close op zijn gezicht. Hij maakt gebruik van het hele podium en bij het gedeelte wat we eerder te zien kregen klinkt het nu in de zaal beter. We zien op het einde de jonge Claude uit de videoclip in een spiegel. Een repetitie waar Claude trots op mag zijn, maar er mag voor de tv show dinsdag nog wel een schepje bovenop.

Netherlands 🇳🇱 starts with him alone, then gradually adds the other backing artists. Big LEDs at the end and he dances with a video of the child from the music video I think. Vocally strong for most but a miss or two that was noticeable - it is what rehearsals are for!

quote:This is different from what I had imagined but still very decent. Claude starts alone in close-up until after the first chorus when he is joined by two dancers and three musicians. They all disappear during the bridge during which another led wall is driven on stage. The performance ends with Claude dancing 'together with his younger self' like in the music video. It's more artistic than energetic but is very classy and works very well. Claudes vocals are also on point this time. Goed gedaan! (escnation)

De Sahara is zonder meer erg droog.
Wel weer enkele vocale missertjes zo te lezen. Hm... Zonde. Hopelijk morgenavond niet.

Kinderen mogen dus via scherm wel op het podium, scheelt weer 1 van de 6 ookquote:

Olivier speelt dus wel een rolletje!
De repetitie van Nederland onthult dat het jongetje te zien is op een scherm in het slotstuk van C'est La Vie. Claude danst samen met hem naar een emotioneel einde. Visuals zijn niet anders dan tijdens eerdere repetitie. #songfestival #eurovision

Marko visits an ice cave in Zermatt during his postcard.
The performance begins around the cauldron, with Marko standing behind it and singing the first part of the song. He leaves it for the front of the main stage after the first chorus, then joins the walkway where he’s filmed with his dancers, facing the audience.
He takes off his costumes during the final shout, after they have a joined the frame stage. His dancers dance around him for the big finale.
The vocals are good, and there has been a slight revamp of some elements with the song (strong basses, and slightly different girly voices during the childish part).

Dit is wel de meest enthousiaste reactiequote:
De overige reacties zijn nu niet dat ze helemaal overweldigd zijn ofzo … “It works” “decent”. Dat soort termen.
Hopelijk gaan er meer hyperen zoals Tom

Escnation schrijft dan weer dat hij wel goed was vocaal haha

Dat artistieke is mooi voor het begin en eind, maar het middenstuk moet gewoon echt knallen met kleur en vrolijkheid wat mij betreft. En dat mis ik in alle beschrijvingen van de staging 
Tom zet ons dan weer niet bij zijn winnaars van deze dress rehearsal.quote:

Jammer dit. Ik wil echt niet te negatief zijn
maar ik had gewoon echt gehoopt dat we eens een staging met meer impact zouden hebben en dat lijkt weer niet het geval, op basis van deze reacties.

Volgens mij is het wel prima toch wat ik zo lees? Niks om voor te schamen, misschien meer gemiddeld dan excellent. Maar dat zijn maar weinig stagings altijd.quote:

Press Poll komt later, en er zullen vast weer 10 neppe press polls gedeeld worden door allerlei Hans Worsten online.
Sinds deze rehearsal en verhaaltjes online zijn België en Slovenië gestegen voor kwalificatie kans. Portugal en San Marino zijn gedaald.
Ja idd, dacht ik ook. Ik heb niet de indruk dat Aran een bijzonder oog voor details en esthetiek heeft. Hij komt op mij meestal vrij oppervlakkig en simpel over.quote:
