ESC 2019 General Discussion Thread

[JonnyWest]

Honestly the low ceiling is the only the thing that worries me about the venue this year, so far judging by the pics the stage is pretty neat!

Why they haven't release the rehearsals schedule yet?

 

[Ezio]

Maybe they don't want bloggers there as scrutinizers

 

[blue00eyes]

Omg it's almost rehearsals

According to tweets from Omni TV, the shows in Canada will air on a same-day delay (they will be broadcast a couple of hours or so after each day's live broadcast in Europe)

The jury members are asked to judge the following aspects:

The composition and *originality of the song;*


Half of this year's entries fail at that criteria 2

Intreresting German jury. Three of them (more or less) famous musicians. If they go by their own music (and maybe favour similar songs) then dance songs will have no chance!
Once again it will be Sweden or Denmark 12 points. The same procedure as every year.

I think but and () will also get high Points. Probably as well.

 

[midnightsun]

Michael and Anett will all go for Denmark I think. But true, probably NL is high up in the juries vote. Televoters from Germany will vote for Luca Hänni I think.

 

[Realest]

German Top4 will 100% be . Not sure about the Order.

RIP to our jury... Bruno Berberes, who is responsible for 99% of our failures this century is our chairperson

By the way, Ula Ložar (JESC 2014 and EMA 2019) is part of the Slovenian jury.

 

[nofuxCZ]

Cool, young jury we have

 

[hijirio]

She participated in JESC, EMA and now professional jury member for ESC '19.
What a career at only 17!

 

[Preuss]

Who is our jury

 

[Preuss]

A quick look at the Norwegian jury;

Knut Bjørnar Asphol's got a master in music but apparently he produced Rybak's "That's how you write a song" which should say enough about him lol
I googled Finn-Ulrik Berntsen and the first article that showed up was an article all the way back to 2006 where he's in charge of what music is played in the eastern part of Norway
Kamilla Wigestrand participated in Idol last year and came 7th - has a stunning amount of 319 likes on Facebook
Maiken Kroken has about 700 likes on Facebook!
Jenny Jenssen middle aged woman and works as a vocalist and artist

Oh dear oh dear

 

[Preuss]

Sweden's got a dancer and a choreographer in their jury...?

 

[Citelis]

I looked who are the Greek jurors and one of them is an actor and another one is costume designer. At least the 2 other ones are singers (one is opera singer) and one is a radio director.
