Not sure how true this is, but take this with a pinch of salt for now.

We needed a Tix x Efendi moment for 2022 and now it's been delivered

I did a terrible mistake and read some comments on Wiwibloggs under the article about the non working sun. Basically saying that Italy is the worst host ever and the jurys should prevent them from ever winning again an so on.

Their whole community is a bunch of hysterical drama queens.

what is happening with the dementors from Poland

 

[Looren]

Montenegro's staging looks so beautiful omg

 

[Zeus]

Montenegro looks more watery than Poland, lol.

Where is the lie though we know how their hosting in 1991 was tragic and honestly this one hasn't been any better so far

There isn't a single country that comes to mind with this kind of history

Avada kadavra to the kinetic sun!

Well, for me being a great host is more than the background graphics, other things like the presenters or the inteval acts are more important for me.

But each to their own of course.

Yes its not like a background issue negatively affecting at least half of the artists is a serious issue anyway

And that's not even considering the rumours about Albania and Poland true

You don´t have to ridicule what I wrote, you have a different view on that and that´s ok, but please respect what I wrote as well.

I think the whole situation is very embarrassing for being one of the world's biggest music events. Standards should be top-notch - this was completely preventable and should have been planned out thoroughly. It would be "whatever" if this was some local festival or something. It isn't though. I don't get why people defend this. All that blown out money...

I´m not defending it, it´s really sad it doesn´t work like it was planned.

I just wanted to say that I still look forward to the Contest and I think Italians can still be good hosts despite technical issues.

I think a lot of Italians don't want to win again too, after this problem. I am one of those Italians. Once in a lifetime is more than enough.

watching todays clips, big difference from yesterday with all the amazing props and staging. The first 5 all seemed to rely on the led projections. I can see Montenegro's staging with the waterfalls and the beautiful screens (from what i can see from the sides, would have made a very impactful image)

estonia looks completely lost on stage. I like Poland, although i would have styled him differently. Will do great tho

 

[Mainshow]

It's not about "background graphics". More than half of the performances can't be executed the way delegations and artists have planned.

Some things don't even make sense anymore. You can't read the lyrics for Romaia and Portugal. Viewers will not understand Poland's performance because they can't see the forest. Same applies to the orange sun in Malta, the vegetables and fruits in Latvia,.the Western scenes and landscape in Estonia, the matching patterns and colours in Ireland, the IT theme for Finland (the black balloons in front of a black background look effing useless).

I personally don't really care about hosts because apart from the voting sequence and explaining how to vote..they are quite useless.
I'm watching a music TV show and I want to see 25 performances...not horribly scripted one liners which have been written by some Swedes thinking that they are funny and a few questions in the green room like "How are you feeling!?".

The dead sun doesn't look that bad. It's just totally useless,.out of place and a huge disadvantage for several countries which wanted to tell a story or set a mood via LEDs.

Except... people are being majorly over dramatic?. Its wild how the eurofans are all such massive experts on engineering stages, and putting on big shows - future broadcasters needn't bother hiring an external company. I'm sure the Eurofans can throw it all together for them. Most years have had problems somewhere, i concede this is a very big failure but there is more to hosting than the stage.
