Eurovision 2021: First rehearsal for Roxen from Romania

Sunday, 09 May 2021

• It's Roxen's turn to take the stage in Rotterdam Ahoy and make the first rehearsal of the Romanian entry "Amnesia".

  After last year's unfortunate cancellation of the Eurovision Song Contest TVR decided to stick with their Eurovision 2020 hopeful and invited back Roxen for Rotterdam in 2021 . The boradcaster decided to an internal song selection in order to determine Roxen's Eurovision 2021 entry.

  Roxen's entry 'Amnesia' is a modern song that moves within the same field of gentle sound we saw in her previous ESC entey "Alcohol you". The story speaks of girl that is fighting all her fears and insecurities try to gain control of herself and accomplish an inner balance that will allow to deal with the surrounding circumstances. 

   

  The staging

   

  The Romanian hopeful takes the stage joined by four dancers. Roxen is wearing an oversized hoody and a giant pair of boots. The same  stylistic choice for her dancers  who are also dressed casually. The staging integrates a lot of the music video's elements and the motion featured in that elevated for the stage arrangement. 

  Vocally she needs to work on her vocals. The ongoing movements on stage seem to be affecting the stability of her vocals. nevertheless the fact that at some point they crack down convey the emotional intepretation of the song.
