    Comments on Italy's staging in recent years: they don't really care, they leave the artist alone, stage feels empty, etc....
    This year: it's messy, it's too much, Angelina looses spontaneity, would have been better off alone on stage...
    Me: I love the backdrops, I love the props, I love the fashion, I love her voice, I love the concept, etc...

    I want to trust Angelina and her team. I think they are clever and the backing dancers will only elevate her and pit the focus on her. And in the short video she still dances freestyle at some point.
    I am glad that Italy is trying that. They have been accused of having no staging at all, which is true if you think of Brividi or even Due vite which was relying just on Marco (of course he did well), there were two people jumping oj a trampoline in the background and that was never really focused by the camera. So this year they are trying something totally different, let us see!!!

    The details in Italy are absolutely stunning, but I agree that I'm worried it might be too much at once.
    Can be fantastic with the camera angles!
    I hope that the background isn't too busy for too much of the performance.
    I love watching her perform - how she carries herself.
    She seems so strong, centred, captivating. She has owned every stage I've seen her on, she has a special x factor.
    I hope this doesn't drown in a stage that is too busy, or choreography that disrupts her natural charm.

    The UK certainly suprised me the most. I did not expect that at all. It is very explicitly homo erotic and gritty and it doesn't suit the song at all which is exactly why it works imo. I love this. Kudo's to Olly and The UK for finally doing something daring with their staging.
    France is gorgeous. Love the white, voice is amazing. Possible jury winner for sure.
    Italy. One word. Love. ❤ I love this. It looks like a painting.
    I get the concern of it losing the spontaneity, but Angelina still seems quite free on stage so hoping that will be fine. And most viewers won't have Sanremo as a reference so they will be impressed I think.
    Sweden is Sweden. Their problem is never the staging.
    Spain has elevated their staging, it is still kitschy fun but with a bigger budget 😊❤.
    Germany I need to see the longer clip because the whole burning down the house concept seems cool. Want to see how far they'll take it. Vocals are amazing. This will def get some jury points and won't be last ❤

    My opinion on my beautiful Italy: Concept: I'm all in, 100% (even though I didn't expect that at all)! I think it can appeal with its mix of glamour, a bit of mystique/religious, and "medieval" vibes! I'm convinced that Mango's spontaneous side will come through at some point ;) Negative critique: I share your view on the cluttered aspect. However, I'm quite calm about it. It was only the first rehearsal, and I have complete confidence in the Italian delegation to come up with something magnificent (let's not forget that they're the same ones who delivered the fantastic staging for Måneskin...) !!!

  • @Mitchx111

    Even though I'm not the demographic for UK's staging I respect their creativity.
    Italy is a bit too messy/busy and I'm afraid all the girls in bodysuits and with choreography will begin to blur for "the locals" in front of their tv screens.

  • @Leifdk1
    @Leifdk1 25 днів тому +3

    UK: Great staging, no notes.
    Germany: Needed a lot more. And surely not black, this needed to stand out.
    Sweden: Technically flawless. Not sure about the vocal tone myself and the song lacks “soul”. But impressive staging as expected.
    France: I need less (distracting) hand gestures and he absolutely needs to pull back vocally. He is doing too much and it almost feels aggressive rather than heartfelt and genuine. Love the song though.
    Spain: Was a little underwhelmed. Vocal still weak and fear it will be overshadowed but other tele vote friendly entries. Also not sure about the “cheeks”.
    Italy: Beautiful costumes and background. And Angelina is doing Angelina. My only concern is that the costumes make it difficult to see the performers in some pictures

    It's a massive change for Angelina...for purists it's probably a step backward - some spontaneity is missing or it's there but less noticeable because there's a lot going on.
    I believe the choreo is trying to move La Noia away from the crowded upbeat bunch - (that black lipstick for example brings Angelina closer to Bambi than the rest of the girls) - this way La Noia sits on its own private area = more memorable than others.
    Then...we only saw a few clips with very basic camera angles and poor sound quality - there's a massive room for improvement...we've seen nothing yet.

    I'm a bit put off by the dancers for spain and UK, and the fire for Germany, but all these songs are good. Italy I'm not sure,, but if her live vocals are as before then it will be great. surprisingly I'll have to say that visually I like Sweden and France best. But Sweden's song is not my favourite. So I'll just say that I'm happy Slimane is doing a good show for France.

And I don't understand why people are hating on the dancers being there, for me it gives the vibe that the music video gives which I'm in love with.

I don't mind sexy (same or both gender), but if it gets too much it get offputting instead. See Slovenia a couple of years back...
