Everything feels so messy right now. Stage not working, Blogs and Press already pissed off that many are not allowed at the press center cause of that TikTok partnership.

 

[AlekS]

refused from the Sun, due to technical malfunction of the stage.
But they will use waterfall. Her dress reminds scales.

Water seeped into the motor part of the arch and caused failure of the electrical equipment.
If it won't get fixed, they will pump out water and use LED lighting instead.

I can see even from photos the energy Albania brings to the stage. A sure qualifier

 

[Zeus]

Photos from Switzerlands staging looks pretty nice, stylish I would say. Exactly what they need, because the song itself will not be enough I fear. Juries could save them tho.

What technical difficulties are there that people are talking about? I see people referring to them but not what they actually are?

Apparently there are some technical difficulties with a part of the staging which is supposed to move, but has a mulfunctioning and it's stucked. Nothing to be worried about, btw: before the show it will surely be fixed.

 

[Kaz]

So Albania's decided to go with Albina-esque bisexual blue and pink lighting for Sekret.

The kinetic sun doesn´t work properly and it seems that Lithuania had to ditch its initial performance.

The Dutch delegation wasn´t satisfied with the lightning and Albania had a few sound issues.

Didn´t producers say that there´s not enough time to fix it and that the malfunction regarding the kinetic sun will stay for the live shows at well.

 

[Chrisiam]

Eurovision doesn't feel like it has begun until we get these rehearsal streams. Sure we don't get to see anything, but the team's chat and analysis is about my kind of tempo so I apricate that.

 

[AlekS]

The vocals are awesome. The colors of their costumes that remind German flag are actually from their local flag.

 

[Ezio]

So Albania's decided to go with Albina-esque bisexual blue and pink lighting for Sekret.

I hate these bisexual colours. They turn me immediately off.

And it's all her fault. Geri cursing all these fine dudes with pink hair and blue overalls, I hate!

Uuuh... Didn't saw this news... Sad if it's so...

It is indeed quite disappointing because I think that the stage is absolutely gorgeous, very ambitious and unique/innovative.

I just looked it up again @0scar :

The issue with the motors that are meant to enable the movement of the arches and circles, means that the kinetic sun is unable to move as freely as expected. La Stampa states that the issue cannot be completely fixed and that a decision has been made to limit the extent to which the kinetic sun will now move.

🇮🇹 Eurovision 2022: Technical Issues Reported With The Kinetic Sun Stage - Eurovoix

La Stampa reports that there are technical issues with a key element of the stage for Eurovision 2022, the kinetic sun.

[DanielLuis]

Apparently the arches have LED's on one side, and lights on the other. The arches got stuck and the LED part is facing the LED wall while the lights part is the one facing the cameras, which is effing up even more the staging plans for everyone because a huge part of center stage will just be black now.
Hopefully they'll be able to fix it somewhat, or at least just be able to turn the arches around.
