With such a sympathy wave Polina Gagarina had not expected. The express request of the organizers in advance had borne fruit: In the first semifinal of the 60th Euro Vision Song Contest in Vienna, there were on Tuesday evening not like last year boos against the Russian Putin regime, but big applause for a great song. In keeping with the title of their world for the better ballad “A Million Voices” was true even associated part of the nearly 10,000 visitors with a.
“There were feelings like a birth,” said the Russian singer, the pop icon Helene Fischer resembles, stirred by their finals to tears. At the latest by the launch site at the back of the starting grid Final Russia is one of the serious candidates victories. However, it remains to be seen if juries and viewers in the rest of Europe can ignore the political situation on Saturday.
The side effect of the Finnish contribution they could exclude the evening very well. The punk band Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät with his four mentally challenged members and not catchy 86-second quickie “Aina Mun Pitää” difference namely surprising. Is inclusion might not yet arrived in Europe? Probably play the ESC songs but more important than the work of art on the stage …
Gigantic Stage
In this, the ORF had given special effort. In several weeks of construction work the stagehands from 1288 steles had formed a great eye, the giant LED screen in the background had any artist in the otherwise decrepit Stadthalle individually appear – be it with a spinning globe, or a tree that grows out of weapons.
While inside the former Pro-7-Dailytalkerin Arabella gravel farmer with perm next Mirjam Vistula Brown and Alice Tumler was seen on German television again after many years, was watched attentively outside. To protect against possible attacks or a similar fiasco like the finale of Germany’s Next Top Model, turned 400 security guards and 300 police officers the grounds around the hall to a maximum-security area.
The Western countries have difficulties
As an absolute top favorite is emerging in Vienna and after the Guest Post Australia out, although singer Guy Sebastian not on stage. By now mandatory video “Down under the ESC” and an interview with this year’s ESC representatives of newcomer was promoted more than adequate. Allegedly expected Australia to participate only in the case when ESC victory. A rogue who thinks evil of it … At the other end of the world was allowed to local time 6:30 clock the first time be voted on Wednesday morning by the way.
In the Western countries dominated by eastern European countries, it had expected, difficult event. After good results recently overtook the Dutch star Trijntje Oosterhuis with her lament “Walk Along” as well as from the Danish newcomers by Antisocial Media with their Schunkel Retro Sound “The Way You Are”. And also the Belgian audience favorite Loïc Nottet with its characteristic high-pitched voice and the modern “Rhythm Inside” looked probably already sitting in the plane to go home.
“Of course I was nervous,” the 19-year-old says in a low voice, whose restrained and timid appearance does not fit the limelight in dealing with people he represents on the stage. With a robotic performance of the runner-up of “The Voice Belgique” was deservedly the entry to the finals, but have to wait until delivery of the final country. In the final he is likely to get his first points faster.
A Serb with the top rating
More applause as the Belgians received only the very corpulent Serb Bojana Stamenov with “Beauty Never Lies”, its catchy disco anthem for tolerance. The usually extroverted singer missing after progressing the words. Also the way to the final was the Georgian feminist warrior Nina Sublatti with “Warrior” and the Estonian co-favorites Elina Born and Stig Rästa with their country pop song “Goodbye To Yesterday”.
regulars in the final are for years unite alongside the Armenians, descendants of emigrants from all five continents in the group Genealogy (“Face The Shadow”), and also to the Greek. Maria Elena Kiriakou allowed on Saturday singing their ballad “One Last Breath” again. Whether Greece despite the financial crisis could deliver the ESC next year? “We would definitely do it,” said the blonde. To the extent it will not come. Surprisingly, however, the more powerful soul-Allerlei the Albanian Elhaida Dani (“I’m Alive”) and the reluctant staged peace song of the Hungarian Boggie’s (“Wars For Nothing”). Both women will sing in the finals in the second half.
Atmospheric Intro with Udo Jürgens and Falco
your message in the final must carry out into the world and the Romanian band Voltaj. “De la Capat” to draw attention to the problem that many Romanians have to earn abroad to support their family while their children alone. The face of the campaign, a little boy was allowed after 23 clock at the end of the show to celebrate on the stage. The Youth Protection Act does not apply in Austria well …
For all this late hour had not yet been properly heated the Hall audience with hits of the unfortunately deceased Austrian idols Udo Jürgens and Falco. Last year’s winner Conchita Wurst had opened the evening after her winning song “Rise Like A Phoenix” accompanied by an orchestra befitting
