Unlike most Eurovision
finals, this was a radio based show although there was a webcam available to
show Roberto singing the song. There has obviously been some criticism about
this as this obviously focuses too much on the sound of the song and not on the
presentation - something integral to modern Euro songs.
The song is a slow
building pop song with an up beat edge. The song needs to have a much bolder
beat in the background as it doesn't grow and build as it possibly should. The
break part in the middle is very weak and doesn't work as it stands. The final key
change in the last chorus is obviously too much for Roberto as most of the last
part is totally flat. Roberto has a nice voice but he does have quite a strong accent
which can make listening to the song a little tricky.
One could say that
the main positive about this selection is that it really cannot get any worse.
With a bit of reworking in the song, a bit of extra practise and some
presentation skills it might just get better. Don't book a hotel for Brussels , Antwerp or Hasselt in May next year.
