Today Sweden had their first rehersals in Hartwell Arena. The Ark will have a massive number of fireworks during their performance and will be using the stage to the full. The Swedish delegation discussed every possible camera angle with YLE in order to make The Arks peformance one of the most memorable in Eurovision history. The Ark themselves only rehersed their song three times but the group are true professionals.
The Ark will use a gigantic rotating disc on stage on which Ola Salo will lie while performing parts of the song. The stage looks almost psychedelic with spirals turning in black and white changing intopink. The Swedish group think that the task of the Eurovision Song Contest is not just to win but to have a good time and rock. At the pressconference the Swedish delegation expressed how happy they were over the fantastic rehersals.
The worrying kind is a perfect Eurovision hit song with glamour, brilliant performance and some stripping at the end of the song. The songs has a clear 70’s glamrock touch to it and you get happy when listen to it. This is for sure one of the candidates for victory in this years Eurovision Song Contest.
My grade: 5
Defenately this one could be a winner but still…. If The Ark had chosen to compete with their almost concurrent single “Absolutely No Decorum” it would have been a secure victory.
Looking forward to the rotating disc!!!
