I don't know which forum to say this in but I'll just talk about it where I think I will get response

To my point: Isn't this year's contestants unusually good vocally? When I listened to a recap of the London Party my first impression was that almost (hhrhmfmEduard) everyone was really good vocally, and that feels really exciting when we're coming closer to the final week. What do you think?

I think this changed a lot during the past few years. All in all, Eurovision was real crap in the 2000's with stuff like Dustin the Turkey, Verka Serduchka and many other (mostly eastern european) - songs. But now it's more and more about good music again, not just about entertaining performances!

I agree. The really bad vocals now usually stay in the semis. Even though the quality of the songs these ultimate years have varied - the vocals in the finals have mostly been of good or very good qualify. And in the final top 10 there have been many good vocalists.
Personally I like the 50/50 system. And I think the juries is one of the reason why good vocals are rewarded.

can someone tell me if there are seats in the back? (behind the green room?) or it ends at the green room?

I guess it's hard to put 27 IKEA couches and make them look beautiful. I don't remember a year where the green room was actually appealing. (Maybe in Baku)
But the stage is nicer than i thought, the cameras will sure make it bigger.

The more pictures I see from the stage, the more I like it

there are no seats behind the greenroom. there is a led wall behind and the boxes of the commentators.

the stage in front of the green room looks too big to use it for the hosts only. i wonder how it will be used.
