The Eurovision Song Contest is in full swing in Düsseldorf, with the Semi-Final taking place tonight. We review the glory that was last night’s dress rehearsal.
Aurela Gace of Albania goes with a classic Eurovision look: Shocking hair, metal appliques, a flowing cape, an awkward hemline, and sheer fabric that affords viewers the knowledge that there are no undergarments being worn.
As a man in this contest, it can be difficult to wow the crowd with costumes. Yuksek Sadakat of Turkey seems to understand this, so he compensates by wearing a “masculine” version of a bedazzled bodysuit, while depending on a background dancer-ish person to provide the drama by hatching from a cage egg and spreading some wings.
