Song 8: Marie Reim – "Naiv"
I’ve seen this song described as schlager, and it’s in German. It’s great to hear a song in a country’s native language. I'd say this was my favourite among the preview videos, but after tonight's live performance, I think I prefer the preview version. Anyway, Marie gave a good live performance tonight. I really like the full-length chorus, including the beat, and the various instruments that can be heard therein. Marie sang those instances of the chorus in a powerful manner tonight. I liked the inclusion of the fireworks on the final instance of the chorus, and smoke effectss on the earlier instances of the chorus, but I don't think the brief instances of strobe lighting were necessary. Some may consider this to be dated, but I consider this song to be timeless. This is one of the more memorable songs tonight. I'm mystified as to the need for the four men on stage though.
