The ladies in red have arrived! Poland’s first rehearsal was a story of two halves. Their first two run-throughs were beset by technical problems. It seemed that their in-ears weren’t working and the women didn’t seem particularly comfortable. The technical issues were so bad that the ladies were offered a fourth run-through. They persevered and by the end settled in.
Of course, none of that is down to them or their team. The things Poland was in charge of really slayed. Visually this takes the song to another level. The LED features alternating close-ups of each woman’s face. Their bright red lip smacks of power and sensuality. They wear brightly coloured dresses with red tops, and were crowned by ornate golden headpieces that resembled something you might see on an ancient bodhisattva.
Much of the magic here comes from a spinning camera shot that captures each woman in all her beauty. The swirling effect is somewhat dizzying, but definitely captures that “Fire of Love”.

Good luck Poland
this is very bad Poland. change all about staging. keep it simple. no golden ghosts.
Apparently i am the only one who can’t stand their voice?Do you really like what you hear? It is like they are digging out my brain with a screwdriver… I don’t know the polite way to say how i feel…
Nobody cares about your opinion, darling. Please, keep it in mind.
Why are you so arrogant and insulting Maria?
They went for the “weird dream” route as I wished, but the whole thing seems much more post-modern than I expected. I think their costumes are fantastic. I feel a Star Wars’ Queen Abdala vibe from them. Not a fan of huge faces on the led, but the photos are beautiful and the girls are pictured in different angles. I’ll have to wait and see how I feel about the complete concept. So far, I’m intrigued.
The costumes are awesome, the kind of thing it ends up inspiring me on something. And the faces on the leds don’t look as awkward as it happened couple years ago.
Tulia sounded very good and their stage costumes are AMAZING!! I think they must easily qualify!!
WoW!! Already one downvote on a post with a good compliment!! there are such a bunch of lovely tolerant folkzz here online!! We love ya!! xx
Last year Gromee and Lucas were “…must easily qualify” 😀
Their vocals aren’t as screechy as usual, which is good. 🙂
Poland and Czech R. are so wrong. Poland should learn a lesson or two from Moldova 2009, and Czech R. is so wrong. They made a peace song from something that is supposed to be a sad love song, about a lover that now is just a stranger (friend of a friend). It will go wrong for these two countries.
Barbara Dex award contender.
Their live is impressive, but the performance looks like a sorcery spell. In my eyes those headpieces don’t help. I see this qualifying though.
Why on Earth did they put their faces on screen – it doesn’t work. They should’ve used folklore patterns.
Moldova 2009 did it right.
Why a folklore song does always have folklore patterns to be used? Come on.
🙂
I like the faces, it is done in a classy way, and it doesn’t look lazy or arrogant like in 2017.
Yes, like their 2014 entry.
Thoughts so far:
– Cyprus ain’t winning anything
– Finland NQ
– Czech Rep. Q
– Poland dunno
This is the interesting one, because it can go both ways. I am really curious how Europe will react this.
Same here.
Wtf is this, peasents on meth. Could qualify tho
No sweetie, they should’ve kept traditional clothes, not wearing those terrible veils or whatever it is
I do agree in the sense that the lesser time we see the face of the singers , the lesser connection I’ll have with the song.
OMG, horrific outfits and hats. Who is their stylist ? Should have been fired.
Tulia of Tulia said they use a Swedish designer.
Oh wow it looks like the S!sters have doubled!
Staging is similar to Australia’s one in 2017 (Isaiah’s don’t come easy) with the lazy susan and face projections.
love from the people, hate from the jury
Form the people. I dont think so. This year it will be the other way around. I cant see anyone 16-30 voting for this
A moving platform gift from S!sters to sisters.
