Easter egg: the stage below

Jan has gone under the stage, above him are several 1000 liters of water......around him is all the technical equipment for controlling the stage. The holes with white light are for fireworks. Jan told us that there will be people in the water during the show ....... he didn't specific say when....

I think it's an open year, no clear winner. But I'd say it's more between Armenia and Azerbaijan actually.

Out of the five fan favourites - Armenia, Hungary, Spain, Sweden, UK - I'm positive that Armenia will do best, but I'm not sure Aram will win.

Oh, this is such an exciting year, I can't wait to know the winner xcheer I expect a big surprise! :D

Yeah! For the first time in a long time, there's no one clear winner which is brilliant!

I expect a huuuuge surprise for top 5 and maybe for the victory even. This year is excellent in my opinion. 24 songs I love, 7 that I like, 4 I'm indifferent of and only two I dislike. Brilliant. Can't wait for rehearsals to start, we'll see the stage in action and maybe it'll make the competition a bit more clear, because we get to see who flops and who amazes live. Still, I hope for the excitement of this year to continue until the very last countries announce their votes and ultimately decide the winner.

Despite it being in Danish, its fairly straight forward to understand.

How do you know we wont? Didn't we see them last year?


Nope, first rehearsals are closed to the public and the press isn't allowed to record it. I will be watching them in the press center and we'll do live updates trying to be as descriptive as possible but you can only do so much.

I wish BBC Canada would do something like that over here, I'd rather listen to Graham Norton's commentary rather than watch the same old home improvement and lifestyle programs that channel constantly carries

Sure, I'll get right on that ;)

Seriously though, I understand why they're doing that. A "bad" first rehearsal (which what they're basically there for, for testing purposes) have had major impact in the betting odds and caused a lot of (unfair) gossip in the online world. It still sucks though....

It's not a big deal, remember there will be the escxtra live stream, so we'll hear the closed rehearsals, at least.
