The Turkish song was presented on the 25th February during a televised press conference. As was announced some time ago, rock band Yüksek Sadakat had been internally selected by TRT and the song they will be singing is “Live It Up”
The song is disco type rock song with a very strong drum beat and guitar riff. The verses are not that memorable but the choruses have a good clapable beat with a nice string section. I found myself singing the tune of “All day and all of the night” by the Kinks through out most of the song. Although the song is called “Live it up” – that phrases is not always noticeable in the chorus. Nearer the end there is a frankly pointless use of Turkish drums and percussion – which I think is just there to remind people this is the Turkish song.
The presentation of the song is very plain. The singer is I the middle of the stage with two guitarists a keyboard player and a drummer. They five of them basically stay quite static for the whole performance which is very unmemorable. It needs to more movement and colour and possibly will need some more engaging with the audience in the area and the audience at home.
After a run of some very good (if not always deserved results) this song is very disappointing and should not get out of the semi-final on merit.
