Elnur, however, got my attention. When you get past Latvia and put something good in, this is the kind of thing that you need to be honest. He is keeping the mincing dancers and the symbolism of this song smacks you right between the eyes. Also, on his last run through he has a “Conchita is unstoppable” Tshirt on… subtle, Elnur, Subtle, and I bet you won’t be doing that on Thursday.
On Saturday, which is should be getting to, he might be tempted into doing something like that, but I suspect he is going to play it safe and let the song do the talking. Which is what it is all about I guess.
It’s strong, powerful but possibly to overpowering to do very good business in the final but I’d expect a good placing.
