No Degree of Separation didn’t make my top ten list infact its a song that i rated in the low 30’s 0ut of the 42.
Even that i was sung half Italian half english it didnt grow on matter how much i listened to it. A nice young lady and an okay stage performance.
So, after re-watching this performance, I still rank it “just okay.” I didn’t understand the props that she used. You really couldn’t see them during the live performance, but I can see now that it was just for TV. But it didn’t really add anything. Just distracted me. The song just sounded flat to me. Nothing spectacular. Maybe it was the placement with the other songs, but I really have nothing compelling about this song. I think she changed one of the verses to Italian in the grand final (so 3 in Italian, 1 in English). I thought it was 2/2, but didn’t win me over.
I thought this one was a little bit too similar to Austria. Pretty girl, floral elements in the staging, chirpy sort of song. But Austria with the dance beat behind her was always going to win that battle.
