No Angels - Disappear (Germany) Live 2008 Eurovision Song Contest

No Angels represented Germany at the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade with the song Disappear

[@renissimoalemanha5493]

They performed this song at their concert last weekend for the very first time after this and it sounded just beautiful

[@Estonian4life]

It is a really, really great song, still on my playlist, but the approach they were given for the live performance was just a big no. They are singing about heartbreak and losing someone dear to them in super mini-skirts while doing flirty moves and smirks into the camera. This could have had an easy hand-movement choreography while they are behind mics without all of that smoke and wind, bring the hidden back-vocalists and some props on stage maybe, and they could have even worn elegant suits instead of the skirts and it would have been an amazing performance.

[@robertasliutas2903]

@@Estonian4life yeah. They just made a typical girl group version, when Eurovision needs more class than that

Everyone has a bad day sometimes. This was just a very bad day to have a bad day 😅

[@sheriwoozidan]

i believe that with better sound mixing, this would've gotten a higher place. this song sounds amazing in the studio version!

[@PowerSlyter]

Yeah the Studio Version... bad idea to vote them for a live show.

[@olmaBLN]

Yes, amazing what modern electricity can realize... And at studios, there ist no need to move... they have almost forgotten,that they are live, not at a studio

[@bodo887]

​​@@olmaBLNThere were definitely technical issues in this live performance because the mic of Sandy (the blond girl) was just much louder than the other three and it seems like they couldn't hear each other correctly... maybe the wind machines also caused sound issues? Because weirdly enough the fireworks at the end get picked up much louder than any of the voices or music - which shouldn't be the case if the sound was recorded properly - the surrounding noise on stage should not get picked up by any mic. The sound mixing is way off.

[@19Rena96]

@@PowerSlyter You don't even know what you're talking about. They usually sound amazing live! Just look at their recent big concert in Berlin in 2022 (Celebration Tour) Washes over me, Someday, Something about us and all the other songs sound FABULOUS! They clealy had some sound issues and coulnd't hear themselves properly.

[@DoktorChaos81]

I heard them singing live a thousand times and everytime they had great voices! What happened here???

[@PhilipWester]

That's because every other time you heard them "live", they were either lip-synching or using copious amounts of real-time pitch correction.

[@DoktorChaos81]

@@PhilipWester No, I heard them singing LIVE!!! Really live!!!

[@PhilipWester]

@@DoktorChaos81 There's no way for you to know that. I can state with certain that almost every single "live" performsnce of theirs I've seen was clearly lipsynched.

[@DoktorChaos81]

@@PhilipWester There is no way? Of course it is! You can see the difference between live singing and playback singing! And by the way I saw the Popstars-castinghow! And there you could definitely see them singing live!

[@PhilipWester]

@@DoktorChaos81 Good lipsynchers are impossible to tell from real singers. They don't just mime singing, they actually sing, they just do it very quietly and their mics aren't turned on. No Angels lipsynch A LOT. Most of their live performances are, in fact, lip synched. You can tell because their voices sound very autotuned.

[@lsta8088]

They were such a popular band in Germany in the beginning of the 2000s. The first German casting band. Their popularity had faded already at that point but this disastrous performance was the nail in the coffin lol. The 12 points from Bulgaria were so hilarious.

[@Crowsrevenge]

L STA the 12 points was only because of the red haired woman, who is from Bulgaria

[@morbidsearch]

@@Crowsrevenge To be fair, she was the only one singing in tune

The sound production was terrible. Music and choir too low and lead singers' vocals too loud

[@robertasliutas2903]

[@melfox215]

If u watch some of their early interviews, most decisions, schedule, promotion and like everything had been organzied by their management. They were prepared to perform on stage, but not to become self-employed musicians that handle their business. I haven't seen much of the comeback time between 2007 and 2009, but the few I know showed less originality than in the beginning of their journey as a group. But failing on stage? All of them are able to sing and they delivered for years. I don't know what had happenend that they performed like this. Haven't seen them like this anywhere else. Might have been technical problems. I think most of them are very self-critical type of persons and they don't seem to be unhappy or unsatisfied at all on stage. So they might really have had problems with in ears or something that they couldn't really adjust group-vocals to their common standard. Strange and kind of sad in the end. From a German perspective it's even more weird that a Lena has won the competition and the No Angels failed like this. They don't sing worse.

[@benn87]

This performance is indeed very unusual for the girls. Maybe, as you say, technical problems or the excitement. But maybe it's a mixture of both. This must have been their biggest performance in terms of audience reach.

[@Linle91]

Leider für ihre Verhältnisse eine sehr schlechte Performance. Schade, sie können es besser.

I still love this song A LOT. But the performance is A) not over the top enough for the ESC. And B) the background music is to low. The chorus doesn’t sound right because of the bad settings. They do sing it really good but it sounds odd because of this. And the show part is too underwhelming. But the song is so so good

Ich fand, dass die No Angels im zweiten und dritten Album wirklich ziemlich gute, eingängige Songs hervorgebracht haben. Disappear fand und finde ich völlig langweilig und nichtssagend. Leider kam noch der schlimme Soundmix an diesem Abend dazu. Es hört sich an wie Katzenjammer, auch wenn die Mädels aus meiner Sicht nicht wirklich etwas dafür konnten. An sich waren die No Angels schon eine gute Idee für den ESC.

[@kathrinlorenzen8165]

[@jonathanhodgson1353]

They needed a far more commanding stage presence and better group-vocals and they'd have been higher up as it is a song that has huge potential! A small tweak here and there, and Germany might have finished higher!

[@19Rena96]

If anyone wants to see that they can really sing look for the Celebration Tour 2022 in Wuhlheide Berlin. They sound AMAZING and it's definitely no playback!

[@buydebug]

It's cheap but it's strangely enjoyable, although the vocals were too loud at times

[@WaaDoku]

Why's everybody saying that the vocals were too loud?? They were too bad! That's the problem. If you have a good vocal range and you're a good singer, things can get quite loud at times but it never sounds off like this.

[@bodo887]

@@WaaDoku The mix of the mic was definitely off, because Sandy (the blonde one) sounds louder than all the other three together... which wouldn't happen if the sound mix was right (I doubt her voice is actually louder than three professional singers singing all at once). It also seems like they don't hear each other in the right volume or else they would adjust their voices better to each other - they are usually very good at harmonizing, so t's really unusual they sound this disharmonic. Even more ridiculous is that the fireworks at the end get picked up louder on the mic than the entire vocal performance or backing track - you actually shouldn't be able to hear the fireworks that loud if the sound mixing is done correctly... Something on the overall sound recording was extremely off.

[@aleccopile]

As a German, I try to analyze why it didn't go well. First: The song was too mediocre for the contest. The chorus in particular is too monotonous. The fireworks didn't help either. Second, the sound mix was poor. Third, it wasn't a really strong performance. 0:20 You can see the nervousness in her eyes, which is a bad first impression. They should have sung a different song. As a girl group, it is best to find a song in which the voices harmonize nicely. They could be glad that Lucy is in the group. The 12 points from Bulgaria helped to keep them from worse. All in all, I like the girls, but it wasn't their best day.

[@fulbertschmidt8821]

Ja, da stimme ich voll zu. Das Problem waren hier eindeutig fehlerhafte Mixe auf den In-Ear-Kopfhörern, die heutzutage als Monitor dienen. Wenn man sich als Sänger/in nicht oder nicht laut genug auf dem Monitor hört, kann man nur noch versuchen, nach Gefühl über den Stimmsitz die ungefähre Tonhöhe treffen und neigt dann dazu, den Pitch nach oben zu treiben, insbesondere unter Anspannung. Die eigene Stimme nicht richtig zu hören bringt selbst die allersichersten Profi-Sänger/innen von der richtigen Tonhöhe ab, das kann dir jeder Studiomusiker und Toningenieur bestätigen.
