i think this is a good decision. maybe there is more space for the presenters this year. otherwise four would be too many.

12 points to Austria and Vienna for the hosts! They look really interesting yet like a strong trio!

Googled Arabella Kiesbauer and was a bit dissapointed, I think it would have been bether without her.

Yes, it's basically very well edited from old stuff, but very cool. The 2010 intro was epic. It's time for an updated timeline intro this time :D

He died on a beautiful sunday while walking in Switzerland. Suddenly he collapsed. He was fine and healthy until his end. That's good to know.

I don't want Eurovision to become a big nostalgia show, but as for the 60th edition, held in Austria, we really owe Udo Jürgens, but also Erica Vaal, some sort of tribute. And maybe some other living and dead legends too.

Udo Jürgens dies, aged 80 Udo Jürgens dies, aged 80 | ESCunited.com

RIP Udo Jürgens (1934-2014)
Austria’s first winner Udo Jürgens has died aged 80.
The artist was the only Austrian contestant to win the Eurovision Song Contest until earlier this year and took part a record three times in a row for the country between 1964 and 1966. “Merci, Cherie” brought the contest to Vienna for the first time in 1967.
​

The news was broken by ORF on Twitter this afternoon (below in German). It has been suggested he died of acute heart failure.
Udo #Jürgens starb bei einem Spaziergang an akutem Herzversagen.

A sad day for Eurovision fans. Rest in peace Udo.
