Saturday Reject: NeAngely – Courageous

“An interesting one, certainly.”

Tim: We all up for a trip to Ukraine?

Tim: Of course.

Tom: Look, they’re not going to beat Verka, are they?

Tim: Well not with this, certainly, what with it having been binned off already.

Tom: Blimey. That’s a bold choice for Eurovision: picking two women with fairly deep voices, at least as female vocalists go. That certainly sets it aside from the pack, but I’m not sure the rest of the production’s up to it.

Tim: There wasn’t a huge amount of great stuff in their contest this year, but this was a pleasant schlager highlight, being as it is a Melodifestivalen rejected written by notable Swede Alexander Bard. (As for the band name – no idea.)

Tom: It’s an interesting one, certainly, but there’s no way it’s a Eurovision winner.

Tim: The winner was actually rather disappointing in comparison, but given the difference between the original and final version of Gravity, that’s not necessarily something to worry about. It does make me wonder what they could have achieved with this given time and opportunity, though. Well, probably a key change. That’d be good.

Tom: It’s certainly disappointing without.
