GOOD ESC to everybody (come on and dance)

Swedes have invented the technology to put eight instead of six people on stage? Did IKEA invent an extra-durable stage floor recently?

There's actually a lot of progress. Here's a major breakthrough in Singapore:

Oh, I can remember that. Thanks to Asian robotics, it's possible now to assemble IKEA furniture without screwing something together the wrong way. Maybe in a few years, you will be able to rent such robots at IKEA.

It gets me emotional that it’s Eurovision week. We wait a whole year for this, throughout years shit happens and great things too, but Eurovision with its amazing ability to rebirth every year remains. Eurovision is truly undescribably amazing. Happy Eurovision week everyone!

Like almost every year, they change nothing.

Oh my god, I'm getting sentimental now. So true!

It's this feeling after the final... omg, O N E year, how will I survive without Eurovision until the next year. Then in July it usually starts to fade a bit for half a year until February when the first songs are released, you're getting excited as hell. You think about the last year and what has happened in your life, the good things, the bad things and for about a quater of a year, all bad things disappear because you get distracted by that wonderful circus called Eurovision. Which you enjoy some full months until it starts to fade again. And life goes on - that's what it always does. And must.

After Christmas Eurovision is the most wonderful time of the year! :-)

So far the graphics (the scoreboard and all that stuff not the maritme logos (I really like them)) look totally uninspired and boring... It's just a mix between 2016 and 2017!

They could have gone a completely different way and for example use the paper texture and the waercolour style of the blue/yellow/green promotion with the had at the beginning...

 

[John1]

What's wrong with the graphics? I love them tbh.

Not to forget that Cesar was his Backgroundsinger and Vocalcoach.

Lol so what? Of course they are biased - everyone is, we all are. They weren't asked to give their prediction, they were asked to give their PERSONAL ranking.

 

[Chorizo]

They just rank the entries like the actual juries do all the time...

Lol, who said anything about a prediction. We are all biased in some way or another but we don't all have our own country as number 1. if they're going to make top 10s and post them for the world to see then make a proper one and not one were their home country/country using their production team default to the top automatically. I doubt they've even heard all the songs

 

[joao]

Guuuuuurl!!

They are on fire!!! Very well dressed I must say.

Agree with you; but for me Football World Cup is waiting in June/July!
