It is no mystery the Cyprus is one of my favorites this year, so I’m going to need show producer to quickly get their lives.
Minus One is offering a song that is NOT your run of the mill rock entry. The first rehearsal gave glimpses of what could be but I think producers are taking the “rock genre” not too hard. Just because and entry is a rock entry does not mean it should be staged like a “rock entry”. Should it be staged like ZOË’s Loin D’Ici? No, but it doesn’t have to be so cliché.
The vocals were studio quality and the band looked great. I really don’t have any feedback for Minus One. At one point a camera transition was used that reminded me of Window Movie Maker and it was not a pleasant nostalgic moment. There were graphics of wolves and cages which is fitting, but honestly they could have projected more of the imagery from the music video.
I have high standards for this piece because it is one of my favorites and I want—no NEED— this act to shine.

This entry is great. Heck! I wouldn’t mind going to Cyprus for Eurovision next year. So show producers, do what you can to make sure this entry isn’t a joke because cliche rock staging would be a shame.
