Eurovision 2022: Norway’s First Rehearsal!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The next country on the stage of Eurovision Song Contest 2022 is Norway. Subwoolfer with the song“Give That Wolf A Banana”  are ready for his first rehearsal on the stage of PalaOlimpico in Turin!

Everything about Subwoolfer:

Subwoolfer, the biggest band in the galaxy, got together 4.5 billion years ago on their home planet… the Moon.

Since then, Keith and Jim have conquered the music scene on every other planet, making them the most successful pop group ever… so they tell us.

On Sunday 20 July, 1969, a prophet named Neil appeared to them, and was soon hailed as ‘the man with the strongest arms’. He promised to return telling them he would help them become the biggest band on his planet, too; but only once they had written the greatest song in the universe, sung in his native tongue, English.

Neil never returned. However, they found DJ Astronaut. And now, armed with the greatest song in existence, Give That Wolf a Banana, they have come to earth to claim their musical throne by performing at the most important and prestigious musical event in the history of the world: the Eurovision Song Contest 2022.

The Rehearsal

This staging is very similar to the performances we’ve seen from Subwoolfer at MGP and the Eurovision parties – Keith and Jim are supported by three backing dancers in yellow suits and DJ astronaut is overseeing proceedings from their elevated pulpit.

We know some people think Subwoolfer are a novelty act, but we beg to differ – it’s a really polished routine and both Keith and Jim deliver great vocal performances. The dance routine is PRECISION.

Eurovision 2022: Iceland’s first rehearsal!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Next up on the stage of Eurovision Song Contest 2022 is Iceland. Systur with the song“Með Hækkandi Sól”  are ready for his first rehearsal on the stage of PalaOlimpico in Turin!

Everything about Systur:

Sigga, Beta and Elín are a band of sisters who have been singing together for as long as they can remember.

The girls previously assembled a group named after their beloved grandmother, Sísí Ey; scoring a huge hit in Iceland with the song, Ain’t Got Nobody.

Their father, Eythor, was a member of the legendary jazz-funk band, Mezzoforte, who scored a UK number 17 hit in 1983 with the song Garden Party. Their mother, Ellen, is also a singer, and their brother (also named Eythor) will join them on stage playing drums.

The three siblings believe strongly in the healing power of music and spend much of their time supporting those who are marginalised in society. In recent years, they have focused their activism on trans children’s rights, and are deeply involved with the local community

The Rehearsal

Systur’s song Með Hækkandi Sól means ‘with the rising sun’, so it’s literally the morning after a night of Austrian techno. Some more super-stylish retro outfits – the sixties and seventies are VERY big in the costume department this year.

This performance has some beautiful harmonies, and the glittery graphics make it feel quite magical. 100% would attend this Icelandic family gathering.

The second rehearsal of Iceland will take place on Thursday 5/5 so we will have a better picture of what we will see from Systur on the stage of the competition.

Greece: Die Together on stage will be like a dream | Soon the first rehearsal of Amanda!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The first rehearsal of the Greek participation takes place in a very few hours and we hope that it will be completed without problems and unexpectedly.

Fokas Evangelinos has designed for this year’s Greek entry, his most artistic stage appearance ever in his history in the contest.

What we will actually see will be a dream of Amanda, through her own eyes. The main person of course throughout the 3 minutes as we have informed you will be Amanda, in whose face we will see many close-ups and alternations.

Renaissance props, led that will travel you and take your breath away, play with shadows and lights, but also led for which shooting was required in Athens, are just some of what Fokas Evangelinos has prepared for the stage appearance of Die Together.

But do not forget that everything we will see will be a dream… and the dream ends in three minutes.

At 14.20 cet the first rehearsal of the Greek entry, with the optimism being diffused that Amanda will impress.

Eurovision 2022: Portugal’s First Rehearsal!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Today,  the rehearsals for the 66th Eurovision Song Contest continue in Turin. First to take the stage of the Eurovision Song Contest is Portugal, with Maro and the song “Saudade, saudade”.

Who is Maro?

Maro, was born in October 30, 1994 in Lisbon. Despite her young age, she wrote her first song at the age of 11. It wasn’t until she turned 19 that MARO realised she wanted to pursue music full time. She knows how to play piano, guitar and bass. She graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston and in 2018 she released her first album. In her first year in LA, the artist released six self-written and self-produced albums. During this time, her Instagram caught the eye of Grammy winner, Jacob Collier, who invited her to join his debut touring band as a featured vocalist and instrumentalist.

The rehearsal

Portugal are performing on the B stage right in front of the Green Room, singing in a circle formation that really fits the intimate, dreamlike style of the song. The graphic backdrop adds some swirly colour, and It’s a simple, beautiful performance that’s given us our first goosebumps of the day. And…relax.

First sighting of the Eurovision smoke machine, providing ankle fog for Portugal’s final run-through.

Eurovision 2022: Albania’s First Rehearsal!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The time for all Eurofans has come! Today,  the rehearsals for the 66th Eurovision Song Contest are going to be held in Turin officially. First to take the stage of this years Eurovision Song Contest is Albania, with Ronela Hajati and the song “Sekret“.

Who is Ronela Hajati?

Ronela Hajati was born in September 2, 1989 in Tirana, Albania. She was interested in music from a very young age, Ronela studied ballet and piano and took part in a variety of song and dance contests before making a career in the music industry. Ronela is known for her diversity in music, style and performance. She took part in a lot of Albanian song and dance contests, like Top Fest and Kënga Magjike, and this year she managed to win the 60th Festivali I Këngës, a beloved annual show in Albania, and has more recently been used to select the country’s Eurovision entries. Hajati triumphed over 19 other acts, with some of the brightest names in music amongst them.

The rehearsal

Unfortunately, for the first rehearsals, accredited journalists do not have the opportunity to cover them. The only things that become known are what the event gives to the public.

This performance has incredible drama and impact, and she looks amazing in a sparkly bikini with black boots and pink hair. Four male backing dancers and one very gymnastic female are providing backing support – this is ticking lots of our Eurovision boxes.

This is going to be a great opener to the first Semi-Final next Tuesday – despite some sound issues in the first run-through, her vocal sounds great. On her second run she is more comfortable on stage, with great moves and some pyros maybe will be added on her last run. Also, the waterfall at the front of the stage has been turned on for her last performance for today!

Below you can watch a small clip from Albania’s first rehearsal from Tik Tok:
