It's Cyber Marie N! But in a good way. Sensibly, the band just get on with performing the song in a band kind of way, while the narrative is played out behind them by the female dancer. It's memorable and effective. It also takes a flipping age to set the stage up for - it was solidly two minutes after their postcard finished before they were ready for first runthrough.
Influences from Lordi and Marie N's stagings are obvious to me - but I'm a geek who can actually remember Lordi and Marie N's stagings, which are solidly 4 and 8 years ago respectively. Ouch.
This is a real, real, serious contender for the win.

NickD has this as your winner....
I have real English Pounds on this to be your winner.....
Elaine Dove has Real Scottish Pounds on this coming in the Top 4
This must tell you something.
Yes, yes it does - It tells you that the Azeri machine has serious competition from the REAL Turkish speaking country next door. In the hall it looks all bright lights and messy, however being a TV show and all, the TV staging looks brill - and I dont even mind angle grinder woman in the background because, after all, it's "her" that the song is about ( in a weird dahli-ist kinda way).
You can *still* get 50/1 about this to win. Top 4 should be ok - but if I am placing cash on something, then I must think it stands a chance!
It is a serious contender.
