The third rehearsal is from SERBIA. Are they going to surprise the audience like they did last year?
Samo Mi Se Spava is a indie/techno number sung/whispered in a mix of English and Serbian – the title translates as ‘I just wanna sleep’.
Will this get the audience to sleep or will they be so alert as to follow everything going on and vote for it? According to Eurovision.tv people and now fine, but in a week they are going to feel this song in their very tired bones.
Staging-wise, Luke has brought the huge bed prop from the Serbian National Finals, along with four masked dancers trailing long hoses – and Eurovision.tv said they heard a rumour that smoke is going to come out of those. They for sure will update when they see the pyro rehearsal. With the pulsing bass and video game graphics, the whole thing is dark and surreal and hypnotic – definitely a performance viewers won’t forget.
Also the Serbian entry has been designed as a promo CD single by Stephan Herholdt for ESC Covers.
