Rehearsals

Rehearsals have been up and running for the last week and clips and pictures have been popping up here, there and everywhere from them.

In this podcast I take a look at what's happened and talk through a some of the surprises (good and bad) shocks (good and bad) the outfits (good... but mainly bad) and the frankly ever-elongating list of entries that can only be described as a hot mess...

One song is too aggressive, another not aggressive enough...
One song is too monochrome, another is too colourful...
Many acts have no charisma, several need to let go a bit more but one act has turned into Hi-Di-Hi circa 1984 with Su Pollard on vocals... in black and white...
I tell many acts to get rid of their gimmicks (especially the meaningless dancers) and I have a slightly restrained rant about invisible backing singers. I am sure I will have a lot more to say about that issue once Eurovision is done and dusted...

In between songs courtesy of Steve Yabsley!

I'll be back tomorrow with my predictions (for my sins!)
