I guess we will see only the half-minute long snippet today anyway, won´t we? It´s his first rehearsal.

Lol, yes. But we shall read the reports and we'll know if a victory is within reach or if it has been all just noise and smoke

Oh no, Matt and Sean are not overexcited about it. Sean´s first words in the live stream after Amir´s first rehearsal were "Russia has won".

"They're definitely going for the "less is more" approach here. Amir is completely alone on stage. The backing singers are hidden somewhere, and so far they're not very loud in the mix.
He's wearing a plain grey suit over a white t-shirt. And white sneakers with no socks.
The stage is quite well-lit and the graphics have a space theme. There's a lot of stars, and towrds the end of the song the moon (or some other planet) appears on the floor underneath Amit.
He's up-beat and energetic, but there's not really any choreography going on. He's basically simply standing there singing the song. And loving it.
Vocally the first run wasn't perfect. He sings the oh-oh-oh-oh bits but they were a bit off-tune. And there were some other parts that weren't great either. But we have to keep in mind that it's a rehearsal.
Basically, this is the POLAR OPPOSITE to Russia. While Russia has thrown in just about everything they possible can, France has a very simple and plain performance. It could be risky, but it makes me think of Lena's performance in 2010. It isn't similar, but it's the same kind of "I'll just stand here and sing the song, because the song is good enough on it's own" attitude."

Well, it sounds Lena-esque. Not sure if it's good or bad
Not sure if a Lena-esque vibe will fit this song though. It doesn't need to be all blown up but something on stage at least. Lena's song was very simple.
It's just his first rehearsal though so hopefully they'll improve on things.

Yes, this song is a bit more complex, but not too much. It's a lot about his personality and smiling face, isn't it?

I would be so disgusted if Russia could actually manage to win for the second time with a cheesy crap song because of an over-the-top staging. I don't want to go back to 2008. I'm still hoping the juries will prevent a Russian victory. The very reason why they were introduced in 2009 was to prevent such crap from winning. If Russia wins, it's time for a new voting system (again).
