Germany: too much swirl

Michael Schulte

It’s all go this morning, so I only saw half of Germany, again. It’s too busy for me. They’ve brought their own projection backdrop in lieu of there not being an LED screen, and words and concepts are picked out behind Michael as he sings.

It’s such a simple song that I think it doesn’t need this. The designs swirl about him, and it’s just overkill. Musically, I can still see a path to victory for this, as where it’s strong it’s very strong, but presentation-wise they’ve royally fupped it up.
