Phil: Make the bad woman in the horrible dress go away!!

This is all shades of hideous.Sofia Nizharadze looks uncomfortable with everything, including her dress which I don’t see the point of. Her backing dancers do lots of very odd things with her, lifting her up, shoving her to the side, and generally making a nuisance on stage.

Vocally its all over the place, she screams at the end … and most of the way through it.

Not qualifying

Nick: Now, this is interesting. There are a zillion reasons why I should hate hate hate this song, most of which were catalogued a little earlier by Phil.

HOWEVER – I don’t hate it. The whole performance, in all its disparate desperate parts, actually hangs together really well for me. Slightly nasty dress – check. Pointless choreography – check. Shouty vocals? Check check check. A zillion reasons for dislike, but none of them sway me. There are people out there who’d vote for something like this.
