This is a very
modern song in all senses of the word. Yes, it does have traces of Euphoria in
it but sounds different enough not to be suggested as bandwagon following. Margaret
for this performance seems only to be joined on stage by a drummer, however heavy
backing vocals can be heard so she will have to be joined on stage by others at
some point.
Margaret look very
striking on stage and have great presence. She does not dance but does do some
very clever on the spot moving about, posing and armography. She is dressed in
an extremely long, tight white gown and almost looks like a sexy version of a
storm trooper. But this very striking image really fits the song.
The song is
basically what "Euphoria" might have sounded like if Depeche Mode had written it
for the Violator album with Robyn on guest vocals. It has a very dark feeling
but the tune is very clear and repetitive. The lyrics are very mysterious, and
quite violent at times, but it all works. Margaret also has a very individual
voice. She, like the Danish entrant, seems to have a bit of a lisp, but Margret
also has this Bjork-like squeakiness and pronunciation which makes it engaging.
This will go big in
the hall - and that is not just because as a neighbouring country the hall will
be full of Norwegians - because this is already turning into a fan favourite.
This should be an easy qualifier and as it stands this is a very individual
entry which will really stand out on the night. I wonder if the countries yet
to select are watching closely...?
