What's with the burying of Poland in every aspect of the promotion? LOL.

Hes down down down by the river

Scandalous suggestion incoming...

Shouldn't the most important part of an entry be the performance of the singers/bands and the song itself?

Oh no, I forgot - this is now the Eurovision Stage Design and Digital Art Contest...

Silly me

So iyo, we should optimally just put the performers onto a completely blacked out stage without anything that could distract from the song, gotcha.
What a near-sighted take.

Do you watch the entire two and a half hours with your eyes closed

 

[goncalovieira]

I really like Llalame, but it looks soooo cheap on stage.

I was afraid of Stefan being one of these artist who are about to suffer the most from the dead sun.
Honestly, he should be wearing something else - it doesn´t look very "hopeful" to be dressed in black standing in front of a black sun.

Unfortunately, he was heavily relying on LED´s/his song´s backdrop (like in the national final).

Maybe he should ask San Marino to make use of Achille´s bull and Western hat?

Laughing and crying at the same time

 

[Ana Raquel]

Some are going all the way to defend anything about this staging i-

 

[crashworld]

Just imagine if Stefan's LED screen has the lyrics "I hope, I hope".
It will become "I ho, ope".

 

[Leydan]

I think Morocco2021 gave the dead sun staging a devastatingly brutal 9/10. As a magpie and lover of broken tat turned to treasure, I was always a shoe-in to be the one celebrating the magnificent decadence derived from a faulty piece of staging.

Your sense of humour never fails to make me laugh.

 

[Leydan]

The LEDs look weird and broken on the ones that obviously intended to fully use it, like Estonia. Luckily Romania can possibly play it off as their LEDs are dark but the others look messy as hell. Probably to the point I'd consider turning them off all together. I know it's harder to change LEDs than lights but it's been done in the past. Hopefully they look better on camera

Eurovision has been about more than just the song and singer for years.

Just look at Malta's performance. I bet the LED screen is supposed to show the sun in orange. But now, it's blocked by the black sun.

Poland First Rehearsal 2022

Ochman from Poland rehearsed his song River for the first time at the PalaOlimpico in Turin.

Not my husband Ochman being screwed by the black sun. ARGH!!!!!

 

[Zeus]

They should use the free day just to remove that sun thing. Just a big LED-screen for everyone would be fair at this point.

 

[Looren]

Estonia's staging looked great

Also North Macedonia looked awesome, am so sad we're probably going to lose this wonder in semi

Removing the sun = removing all the stage. It was already said before. You guys still think that is a cheap piece of machinery, but it obviously isn't. It's more way compex than you think. That's why it is so difficult to fix that problem. If it was removable, they would have removed it already.

 

[RainyWoods]

Oh my goodness. Ochman is taking us to Silent Hill. This is a shock. I'm very intrigued now. Wild, creepy idea but I think it could just work.

 

[Zeus]

What do you guys think about adjusting the running order with one half using the LED-side of the sun and the other half the lights-side (with one longer break in between to change the sun-side)? I don't know if that's possible, but I really feel like there should be a solution.

This is just creating an unfair playing field, with countries relying on the LED-side (for example: Lithuania, Serbia and Estonia) on the disadvantage side.
