We really like this song and Michael is a very good singer and performer, but today the backing singers feel a bit too loud, drowning out Michael's vocals. Also we think the whole performance doesn't really work. The 3 female backing singers are dressed in long flowing gowns. It just doesn't fit in with any style of presentation - it's not contemporary, it's not retro and it's not kitsch. It just doesn't leave any particular impression. Alas, a definite non-qualifier.
Sweden
After a little break in which Lys Assia will be introduced, we're back with Sweden. Anna's guitar looks massive! Sweden goes for a midtempo ballad, and we reckon it's going to succeed. The song sounds fresh after the relatively contrived entries from both Denmark and Switzerland. We believe the glow stick lights are going to be used just in the same way they were in the Melodifestivalen, which would certainly help. This sounds like a definite qualifier to us.
