Oh god... these days are getting so boring... Come on.
Where is the Eurovision magic?

I‘ve been on the night train to Turin with them on Friday and they are really nice, down to earth. Just normal teenagers. Pia still seems to have some health issues concerning her voice (I don’t know if it’s from her Covid infection or just a normal cold).

Awesome that you basically bumped into them on that night train and have fun in Turin!

From what I´ve seen online, they really seem to be nice/kind and really excited about Eurovision and I´m glad for them and hope for a great result for Austria - I just don´t like her voice and hope that she can somehow recover from her Covid infection so that her vocals may end up being stronger in a week.

Greece is giving me Sissi musical vibes

LOL! If that kinetic sun is not fixed, we are going to get this for almost every single performance (except those who use the B-stage or brought their own props). #ijustcant

 

[aef]

So far I really don’t like what I see from the stage, it reminds me too much of the 1999 stage, the most dreadful Eurovision stage in history

Subwoolfer from Norway rehearsed their song Give That Wolf A Banana for the first time at the PalaOlimpico in Turin.

Basically the ESC stage version of the NF. Not like it needed to change anything.

Description for Armenia's set:

There’s a full constructed set for this performance, our first of the day. It’s a white bedroom with walls and furniture that are made from post-it notes – we’ve just had a chat with the Armenian delegation (sat in the Green Room pod next to us) and they’ve confirmed it’s a reinforced paper structure.

Rosa pulls bits off it off to reveal messages and lyrics written on the walls as she sings, including the date 22nd June, which our new Armenian friends tell us is the date she was inspired to write the song.

I guess this is why they got the last slot. Should be very interesting.

Such a waste - the concept of the stage was extremely incredible and honestly, it doesn´t look "that bad" but it´s very disappointing for entries whose performances had been relying on LEDs and backdrops.

 

[Ezio]

The stage doesn't look versatile at all. Just a ring with different colours.

On one hand, it looks pretty futuristic. But when the camera pans out and then it's basically a gigantic broken vinyl blocking the entire LED screen, which make it looks so awkward.

And this is why 2011 remains my favourite stage…just a big open stage with huge oversized LEDs that made every single performance look so different from each other.

 

[GermanBango]

So is it official that they wont really be able to fix this? Find it hard to believe since its still more than a week to go. Maybe they should just try to manually turn at least some of these arches around idk.

Moldovan singers said that the technicians have already removed the sun's engine, so it will be unusable

 

[crashworld]

I think it's not that simple to just manually turn it. Because there are some delegations who are not using the LED side of the kinetic sun (ie. Iceland) for the performance. So it's going to be a nightmare to turn it manually back and forth for every performance. So I guess those who are using the LED side for their performance are basically screwed.

The highlight of today.

William from Wiwibloggs broke the sun.

..... oh well

 

[MopManMoss]

Pia Maria still not sounding great wonder what todays excuse is going to be

 

[GermanBango]

The only somewhat valid source I could find was some Italian newspaper who claims to have insider info. Some engine seems to have issues so they are LIMITING the movement of the sun. Doesn`t say anything about just keeping it the way it is now. (which would be a major flop)
