illia Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 7 hours ago, Hurem said: Yeah, the producers have never had more say in running order. They're not even trying to hide that they're doing this because they want favorites to get favorable RO's, which is problematic on so many levels. I fully believe they should go back to random draw, it's the only fair thing. I'm tired of them treating ESC like a reality show, miss me with that "we gotta have the dramatic curve!!1" bullshit Exactly. I thought it was only gonna be a handful of countries getting the producers' choice, not 13 I blame eurovision odds Betting is OK and it happens during many competitions like sports etc, but it should NOT affect the actual show and running orders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlyManInTheWorld Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Mark my words: Switzerland will be this year's biggest BOMB. The song is annoying, the pink outfit looks atrocious and the staging ain't memorable at all.

Also the convenient coming out in November when the Swiss representative is known in internal circles gave it away. Nemo is the product of a marketing board meeting and nothing more. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm calling a two-digit televote score. It's Je me casse 2.0 with the PR'd hype and obnoxious performer (and in this case the song isn't even that good) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fevesy Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 So basically: The staging is to show gay culture, and that since Olly is in a privledged position to be able to show it and others can't, so he wants to do so.. the team mention that they want it to be outrageous. The actual staging itself was initially overweight and they had to cut back a bit to make it suitable but they don't show what they actually did to achieve that The consensus is that the routine is extremely difficult to sing and do all that at the same time and Olly has doubts he can actually pull it off He turned off his social media after the song came out Most of the preparties were just on "autopilot" and "celeb" mode and before that he mentions the Queers For Palestine letter, so probably the stress/pressure of that. It then has a section about Israel and the calls for him and others to boycott On him and other contestants being complicit with genocide: "..quite extreme, it's very extreme. I understand where that sentiment comes from but I think it's not correct. It's an incredible complicated political situation. One that I'm not qualifed to speak on. The backdrop to this is, like actual immense suffering. It's like a humanitarian crisis, a war, you know? And it just so happens that there's a song contest going on at the same time, that I'm a part of. People are, like, in despair and want to do something." and at this part he starts to cry "And I really respect people who.. you know, people should do what's right for them if they want to boycott Eurovision, if they don't feel comfortable watching, that's their choice and I respect that, you know? Eurovision is, you know it's meant to be an apolitical contest, but it's.. that's like a fantasy" They only have Bambie and Baby Lasagna just comment on how they are excited to show their art on stage and how Eurovision accepts every kind of music, nothing too interesting. They show footage of the London PreParty and the protesters outside but actually barely any footage of Olly there - I think Olly could have said more but keep in mind this is the BBC so if he did say anything, they probably edited it out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurem Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 (edited) Turquoise Carpet backstage is such a mess. The set up is so basic, the lighting equipment in the shot, the basic questions, lack of chemistry between the hosts and artists... yikes. I know I said it before, but I really did not count on Sweden to underdeliver on this level Edit: I am SCREAMING at these interviews lasting 35 seconds Edited May 5 by Hurem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthinos Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I think it's okay. I like the drag queens. The questions have always been basic, which is why I find it sad that the fan media are not allowed to show their interviews. I always found the fan interviews more interesting. The EBU should tone down their restrictions. It kind of kills the hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
