BOOM! Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 Just now, abelfenty said: Albania looks AMAZING. Albina’s husband gave them a BUDGET It didn't look good to me tbh. It's 99% qualifying but it looked very messy to me.

Funhouse Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 We've now seen 31 rehearsals and the Dutch clip still had some of the best camera work so far... our delegation is a ******* disaster this year, so something must be seriously wrong if we're amongst the only ones getting it right

Georgia, Cyprus, Slovenia ate it up today. I also enjoyed Lithuania and Australia, they should both qualify. Austria is disappointing af.

abelfenty Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 Updated Q predictions post-rehearsals: SF1: Croatia, Czechia, Finland, Israel, Moldova, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Serbia, Sweden SF2: Albania, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Slovenia
igninton Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 Miss Monika has the best staging of Semifinal 2 and that alone will carry her through the Grand Final with ease. She needs to bring back the First Rehearsal dress tho, this one is really not it and I don't know why she changed it, the other one would look so much better on camera.

Don't know why y'all are so gagged by a white hotel sheet and a fan. Her voice tone is utterly annoying too and it doesn't help that she's literally screaming the whole song away so a televote-only semifinal will most likely not carry her through.
Hurem Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 My god, to say that the 30 sec clips were underwhelming would be an understatement. I really thought 2022 was bad, but BBC somehow made it even worse
Funhouse Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) Did the BBC put their B-team on Eurovision while the actual professionals are doing the coronation or something? Edited May 5, 2023 by Funhouse
Hurem Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 I think Czechia and Malta will fight for the 10th spot in SF1 ngl
Hurem Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 also kii @ Poland looking like those Twitter memes mocking their oveuse of effects
PaloSanto Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 I mean these arent GREAT but theyre much better than the clips we got yesterday. Albania, Australia and Lithuania are 100% qualifying
ZIVERT Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 Cyprus looks AMAZING. Georgia, Slovenia, Lithuania, and Poland also look good. Greece serving "we're contractually obligated to be here and are letting the kid do whatever he wants." Give us something ethnic next year, PLEASE.
Green Tea Is Green Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 Yeah this is seriously the worst year we've had in ages, the technical side only looks not as bad because its following RAI's mess BBC aside there's also massive bombs in both song quality and staging The stars are aligning for a bad winner I fear

Georgia will qualify, but I imagine she will be given a death slot. But I hope this is a start of a Eurovision renaissance for them, as Georgia has such an amazing music culture.

TheLastChord Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 Imagine wanting RAI back because they did a better job. The bar is in hell
Funhouse Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 Camera work: all wrong. There are too many wide shots, the camera movements feel sluggish and unfocused, and the editing is not dynamic enough. The cinematography generally doesn't feel thoughtful, purposeful, or artistic. Stage design: weird. The proportions of the stage are off. Everything feels small, flat, boxed-in, and far away. It's especially noticeable when countries are using the main stage. Some of the countries are making good use of the rotating LED panels, but the LEDs look low-quality and the black bars ruin a lot of the visuals Lighting design: dated. Everything feels a little underwhelming after 2 years of truly state of the art lighting installations. I don't know if they're using worse equipment or if they're just not making good use of what they have, but the lighting doesn't feel as impactful as Rotterdam or Turin.
