De Nieuwe Uri Geller February 27

Dutch show. Semi-Final.
Good.

It seems Tooske has found her style and looked very nice. I don't know how I will live without her?:)

Most of all I liked 2 acts - Jochem ("Animal Farm", with a farmer, his "wife" and a lamb № 14 Scott Dennis) and Yelle & Ghani - Water & Whispers (whisper into glass and watertank).

The both acts were original, beautiful, memorable.

Jochem's act was also funny and I even have no ideas how it could be done, it's a mystery for me. Jochem returned my sympathy but... went out.



As for Yelle's there could be a mic in a neck of the glass. Or she just hears very well.



Reinder's act with knives - I liked it not too much because don't believe in the bandages. I suppose he could see everything.

The Mask - it was not interesting for me to watch the paper cylinders again, I only enjoyed the very end of the act when the blonde woman went to help Patty and risked her hand. It was movingly.



Vincent - Well, I liked his new grey-haired look, white dresses and eye-catching appearance in a hearse. As for the act it reminded me doctor Victor's acts with the assays. But I would really prefer doctor Victor.



Uri's act with moving tables. Not bad, I liked the moment when the table was canted.

The finalists are:

Yelle & Ghani
The Mask
Vincent

Well, I am not surprised. I could predict the results in the very beginning, not because I am a mentalist, but all of the finalists are most charismatic and bright.

But I would prefer to see Jochem or doctor Victor instead of Vincent in the final.

De Nieuwe Uri Geller January 30

Dutch show. Nice.

I have chosen my favourite - it's Jochem! Though not sure if he will win the show as he has a so strong opponent as The Mask.

Uri was great, in the end looked vigorous, happy and even young. I understand that he has to go to the shows irrespective of mood and form. But I don't like when he looks like a corpse. Maybe he should wear a mask in such cases? It'd be something special!:)))

Tooske - ohh, charming girl, I adore her. It seems she likes experiments with her appearance. Dress was interesting. Hope next time she will invent something new.

As for acts, most of all I was impressed by Jochem - "synchronism" in 2 "rooms" - Jochem repeats everything what a person in another room is doing - dresses, burns up a candle, pours out drink, etc. If he is a real mentalist it is amazing and he must be a genius! If not I enjoy his staging and fantasy. They are perfect.





Winfried and Angelique - "water tank".

In the beginning Uri said that doesn't want dangerous acts in his show. I don't like to hear this again and again because the show will be boring without danger!
Music and aqua blue background were great. In comparison with sexy Amila Angelique looked not so great, she didn't even think about hairstyle and make-up. And Amila's acting was more impressive. But there was much more dynamism in their perfomance as several assistants run around auditory and "save" brother and sister. In the end I even cried. Not bad act, it's a pity they are already out.

Michel - he showed accelerated movie to 4 celebrities, after this hypnotized them and asked questions, put down and checked their answers. He would be good in police or court at work with witnesses (ih he already doesn't work there). I liked the act but wouldn't like to be hypnotized by Michel - his methods are too rude.:) Uri gave him immunity.

The Mask

It's a pity he decided not to talk with his voice, he lost a lot of charm. The voice was great.
Entourage, classical music and especially the chandelier reminded me Phantom of the Opera. Beautiful tables, cloths, candles which he ruined. But most of all I liked Uri's phrase in the end:"If you are really my wife, I want to seriously talk after the show".:)))

Vincent-Vampire


He put a girl dressed in white to the table, splashed her with blood and made his assistant bite her. Not bad act and I especially enjoyed reaction of Uri which turned and even run away, and reaction of audience - many closed their mouth by hands. Nobody stayed indifferent.






Uri's Act - "talk to dead" (spirit session with a glass). Not bad though not sure if it was really a talk to dead.:)

Youtube, image

It is possible to judge by Youtube which acts had success - not all videos, just some - the best - appear there after show and get a lot of views.
As for last Dutch show, there are 2 - The Mask and Vincent-Vampire. Because they both have bright images, of course. Not new, original, but it still works.
And it also proves that a good artist without a good image - is not an artist yet.
