Max Jason Mai rocks the stage for Slovakia
Baku, May 20 (AZERTAC). The only hard rock song in the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest comes from Slovakia, and we spoke to the representative of the Central European country right before his rehearsal today. Max Jason Mai said that he was confident and not nervous, and he even performed an acoustic version of Don`t Close Your Eyes for us, just before delivering yet another flawless performance on stage.
"I`m so tired, it`s hard to have a rehearsal in the morning", Max Jason Mai jokingly told Eurovision.tv when he was preparing himself backstage for his second rehearsal today. "I`m not nervous at all, I never am when I go on stage", he described his feelings.
On stage, Max Jason Mai started his performance on a dark stage, with just a spotlight on him. Then flashing white lights appear to show the whole rock band supporting him.
The Slovak stage performance was bursting with energy, as Max Jason Mai was moving fast all over the stage, running into both catwalks, on the left and the right side of the stage.
The camerawork during those parts was very dynamic, using tracking shots and wide angles, so that the motion came across very well on the screens.
All band members appeared in black leather outfits today, and they did rock the stage with their powerful and refreshing performance!
Rock musician, singer-songwriter and rhythm guitarist Max Jason Mai is 23 years old. The versatile artist will represent Slovakia with his rock song Don`t Close Your Eyes.
