The Turkish entry was revealed on Wednesday 22nd February during a special broadcast on TRT. It
was revealed many weeks ago that the Turkish broadcasters had internally selected Can Bonomo to represent them in Baku
Oh dear.
The song is extremely disjointed, it starts off in quite a traditional epic way then becomes quite a jolly mid tempo number with strange dramatic interludes inserted for very little reason (or effect). His voice is ok however his pronunciation needs a lot of work and during the quick parts you really cannot make out what he is saying. The lyrics of the song are very figurative yet in some ways are nonsensical, especially the “nani nani naaaaaa” parts
Can delivered this performance vocally by himself (although he was obviously miming) and spent a lot of time dancing around, including messing about with his cloak. At points he looked like a a very poor "Stars in you eyes" contestant trying to be Ben Volpeliere-Pierrot from Curiosity Killed The Cat....This said, he was backed by quite a full orchestra of traditional instruments whose payers joined him on the stage near the end of the song. This was a very simple performance and it will be interesting to se how this is expanded and improved for May.
As Can was miming it is hard to give a full critique but I am really not impressed by this song and feel that on so many levels it is weak and will not stand out. That said – this *is* Turkey
