SHIRA – Out In Space
Over half-way-through the running order, SHIRA feels like a breath of fresh air in the line-up. This sensation is reflected by her incredible styling, which forms the visual focal point of the performance.
The song itself has a fantastic build and a sense of momentum to it, which is captured by the movement of the garment. SHIRA’s rich vocal tone forms a nice contrast with the bellowing white fabric.
Now, I’m aware that I’m talking A LOT about SHIRA’s outfit, but I do think good styling can do a lot for an entry, and the look elevates the song. This is especially true in a final where the fashion is otherwise very understated.
Being a televote qualifier, this is a wild card in a sense, but one that feels like an important addition to the final line-up. I’m not just saying this because she is only one of three solo female performers in the show.
