Max Jason Mai had his first rehearsal in Baku Crystal Hall
Baku, May 16 (AZERTAC). Hard rock is what Slovakia will present on the Eurovision Song Contest stage this year. Max Jason Mai, the young singer representing the Central European country, rehearsed his entry Don`t Close Your Eyes for the first time today, showing an expressive performance full of energy.
Don`t Close Your Eyes is the only hard rock song in this year`s competition, so we wanted to know from Max Jason Mai how he trains his voice before his first sound check. “Just like a classical singer”, he explained and demonstrated some vocal exercises right away for our camera.
“Yes, it is dangerous to enter the Eurovision Song Contest with a hard rock song, but that’s just my style”, he admitted right before going back to his dressing room.
The light scene was mainly in black and white, with flashing spotlights above and in the back of the stage. On the LED screens, metal structures flashing in white and red were displayed. Next to Max Jason Mai, there were three musicians playing electric guitars, and the whole band gave the performance of an experienced rock band full of energy.
Max Jason Mai sold his song very well today, with a strong rock voice and an energetic stage appearance. The cameras quickly changed between close-ups and wide angles to fit the mood and beat of the song.
