Eurovision 2023: Germany’s First Rehearsal!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Today is the turn of the contest’s Big 5 to go on stage for their first rehearsals! The first Big 5 entry to take the stage is Lord of the Lost, representing Germany with “Blood & Glitter”.

Who are Lord of the Lost?

Lord of the Lost is a genre-fluid band from Hamburg which has managed to built a considerable fanbase in Germany’s industrial rock scene.

They were founded in mid-2007 by frontman Chris Harms, initially as a solo project, and released their debut single Dry the Rain and debut album Fears in 2009 and 2010 respectivelly. Fast-forward to today, their discography now consists of eight albums, with the latest four peaking in the top 10 of German charts. In fact, their latest album titled, like their Eurovision entry, Blood & Glitter, shot to the 1st place of German charts after only 6 days of pre-orders, and their most recent European tour completely sold out.

Last but definitely not least, Lord of the Lost will leave Liverpool to support Iron Maiden on tour amost immediately after the contest!

The Rehearsal

Blood & Glitter is a stand-out performance. The band are raised up on a metal scaffold in a triangle formation, with red and black LEDS and a flashing light show that never lets up for the full three minutes.

In the third run-through pyro has been added, as intense red flames accompany each chorus. There’s also fireworks to finish, and floor smoke throughout the performance.

Eurovision 2022: Germany’s second rehearsal

/0 Comments/in , /by

Today is the final day of rehearsals in Turin, with the second rehearsals of the BIG 5 countries!

Next up on stage for their second rehearsal is Germany and Malik Harris with the song “Rockstars”.

Who is Malik Harris?

German-American singer and rapper Malik has been writing songs on his guitar for over a decade. Harris comes from a very musical family, his grandfather was an opera singer, his grandmother a pianist, and his father plays several instruments and teaches cello.

The young star’s first singles, Say The Name (2018) and Welcome to the Rumble (2019), were hits on the German airplay chart and streaming platforms, which led to a solo tour in May 2019.

Malik has supported international acts including James Blunt, Alex Clare, Jeremy Loops, Tom Odell and LP.

The Rehearsal

The singer starts by playing the piano and then he gets up and raps holding a drumstick. Some carpets are on stage. In the second chorus he plays the guitar.

A very intimate performance with warm lighting.

His vocals are pretty good and I have a feeling Germany could do much better than anticipated.

The second run was also pretty good. There were some major delays before the final run started.

The Rehearsal

This is really smart performance from Malik! He works the cameras really well and makes a real connection with the audience.

EBU / ANDRES PUTTING

The staging is simple and stripped back, and the Eminem-style rap section has real intensity in contrast to the sections either side where it’s just Malik and his guitar. It’s a really confident and compelling performance and his vocal is great too – a nice chance of pace after a couple of roof-raising numbers.
