Oh yes – I had momentarily forgotten that the Big 5 (and the Azeris) have their first rehearsal today!
Roman Lob may not have been touched by the Ugly Stick, but he certainly hasn’t been touched with talent either. I’m aware the title is “Standing Still” – but it’s more like a command than a suggestion with him. He looks very wooden on stage and the track just passes me by.
I understand that people like this, but unless he does something a bit different with that performance, it’s the polite applause and moving on to the next one, thank you very much for him.
Vocally perfect, as you would expect from a Raab talent show winner… it’s just…. worthy but boring!!
