If, like me, you couldn't go to Popjustice Live, you missed the first performance of BWO's new single "Save My Pride," a reworking of an Alcazar song. However, ESC Today was good enough to record the performance and upload it to YouTube--and it's actually a good recording.
There's a lot of things I could say, but, among them, is the fact that this video makes me realize just how much I love Martin's singing voice--it really is perfect for pop. Also, I need to see them live.
Edit: oops--I forgot to mention that you can watch videos of the rest of their performance here, as well as an interview with them in which they refer repeatedly to the possibility of them representing Poland at Eurovision and say that "Chariots of Fire" was inspired by "Like a Prayer"--or rather, after someone said that Madonna's "Hung Up" was using the idea of Alcazar's "Crying at the Discoteque," they decided to "steal" from Madonna.

I was there and I can't stress enough how brilliant they were!
This is so weird. I was there. Right infront of him. He dropped his mike in one of his performances and it landed in-between my legs. I was so close to him that i could see his a) birthmark b) his tonsils
And when he poured that bottle of water over him and pulled pack..that went all over us.
EdIT: and you see the last hand that Marina grips..thats mine!!!
Lucky you! It looks like they put on such a great show.
Oh, that must be so surreal for you! You really could not have been closer to them.
Oh my god! I love Alcazar's 'Save My Pride'. It's the greatest hidden gem that ever was!!!
I was there too! Martin's got so much energy & charisma - I already knew I'd love the show, but it turned out a total humdinger!
It's such a great song. I'm torn over BWO releasing it as a single, though; I really love their version of it, but it sort of would have been nice to have something entirely new. Still, at least it means more people will hear the song now!
It looks like it from the video! If they ever come anywhere remotely near me, I think I'm going to have to stalk them down regardless of cost to see the show.
