I noticed this too. There is a gap between the reaction videos, where you can see often a astounding physical reaction and comments for instance on ESC- kompakt.Maybe it has to do with poor staging and vocal performances in the past.

I was horribly wrong on Nemo last year - I said here that I thought it would not even make the top 5 and that viewers would not connect with it. In the end it won. It only got a 5th place in televote, but the televote was still strong enough that it did 'connect' with viewers in the end.

I think this might be my favourite Austrian entry ever. So so good!

Odds: only 1 % gap to the Swedes

Nemo's staging was successful for the televote due to their smiley friendly charismatic storytelling singing directly to the camera. It was so dynamic the way they ran around the stage and it made it epic with the melody/instrumental. You have to connect to a performer to want to vote for them. Something 2023 did extremely well too. need to remember to get the balance right.

Yes, there is a risk with this kind of song I think, that Austria's staging comes across as a bit cold and people don't connect.... they can avoid this

Doesn't look that way currently.

Doesn't look that way currently.

Often, you can't really call the winner in March or April. There is no Euro Jury this year either so everyone will be in the dark until the rehearsals start.
