I am predisposed to dislike this concept – not the song. Having said all of that, however, this song is incredibly strong. Conchita’s manager has submitted his own camera plan and not ORFs and it shows ONE Camera shot takes 49 seconds from darkness into light, the lights do not show Conchita’s visual for that time and, by that time, you have connected with the song before you connect with Conchita ( in whatever way you feel). There will be some pyro, doubtlessly, and the gold phoenix in the background puts the old tin hat on it.
We all *know* it’s a bond film theme and you want to go ” Do you expect me to talk??, no Conchita I expect you to fail”….. but she’s not going to fail – not in this bit. My worry is in the next bit, how many Eastern European countries are going to vote for her – None, Western Europe will vote for it in their 4’s and 5’s and, when done and said, I would think bottom of the Top 10.
