JJ completed first ESC rehearsal: "I can't even put my feelings into words"
It was his debut on the ESC stage, and "Wasted Love" was performed three times. "We have been working towards this exact moment for months - developing, preparing, and rehearsing everything. Now standing on this stage is simply indescribable for me," said JJ in a statement from ORF on Tuesday. And what can be seen on stage? "As in the video, the sea and the rough ocean also play an important role in our stage show. We really use all possibilities to create a very intimate moment on one hand and bring a big and dramatic show to the stage on the other," explained our ESC hopeful, who added with a wink: "Because apparently, this is one of the most important questions at the ESC: Yes, there is a wind machine."
Finnish Designer Provided JJ's Stage Outfit Before ESC
In the staging - behind which are Creative Director Sergio Jaen and his creative team - a boat made of memorabilia enters a storm. The staging was designed for a black-and-white broadcast of the performance. The Finnish designer Teemu Muurimäki provided the stage outfit: "The look is inspired by a stormy black ocean. JJ's water-glossy, oversized long coat, wide pants, and top are made from a high-gloss blend fabric and wool denim. The cuts and collar lines are highlighted with details of steel metal eyelets." The second rehearsal for JJ follows on May 8th.
