I've noticed several acts barely have light on stage. Wtf is going on?

 

[Etanna]

I have read they do it know to show the staging, and that the camerawork will be different in the semifinals en final. Not sure though.

that's what I suspect, too. Maybe [MENTION=4371]Sean[/MENTION] or somebody else from the press could tell us if the camerawork they see from the presscentre is the same as what we see in the snippets, please?

Semi-Final 1

Semi-Final 2

Auto-Qualifiers

I am bored so I decided to do this up.
But I can't believe how boring the outfits colour choices were this year. About 85% of the entries are mainly wearing black and white.
I applaud Portugal/Ireland/Poland/Czech Republic for wearing something non-conforming.

 

[Etanna]

[MENTION=16295]crashworld[/MENTION] that's really cool, did you do one for some of the previous years as well?
Also, Malta has white clothes but they are basically changing colours. Other than that and North Macedonia, semi 2 will be quite monotonous outfit-wise.

Is anybody else hearing poor sound mixing in these second rehearsal clips? I don't know if it's my headphones or if the backing music is too loud in some of the songs.

[MENTION=16295]crashworld[/MENTION] that's really cool, did you do one for some of the previous years as well?

Nope. This is the first time I am doing it. Because I was pretty bothered by the lack of colors in the outfits this year. I am not sure if we have the same problem for previous years. I remember Eurovision used to be very bright and colorful. This year seems to be incredibly dull.

 

[Etanna]

[MENTION=16295]crashworld[/MENTION] well, last year there was an overabuse of the blue colour instead but probably only due to the lighting. I don't remember the outfits that well.

I'm curious what impression will the colour designs leave on us when watching the shows. I'm afraid it might actually hurt some performances (e.g. Armenia) who will not stand out enough.

Poor S!sters. LOL. They deserve it. Watch them get the death slot #2.

 

[Leydan]

Semi 2 finalists better hope semi 1 dont eat up the rest of them 2nd half.

02 is for Serbia I think or Albania if qualifies. S!sters will get 05 I believe

That's quite true though. This year is so unpredictable that it's so exciting.

 

[Preuss]

Imagine all of the big guns in 2nd semi-final performing first half lol

I have a feeling Azerbaijan might open the show in case Chingiz picks up the 1st half

That's a quite unfair allocation already for the semifinalists. Why can't they allocate 3 into the first half, and 3 into the second?

Those Tamta shoes

Amazing ceremony, Hollywood who?

Not a bad idea, they really should start doing that, it will be more fair for everyone, it could be done at the allocation draw in January each year

Stolen from [MENTION=13974]DenizESC[/MENTION] closet. He should sue her.

They did in 2013 from memory, France, Spain & Germany pulled 1st half. UK & Italy went into the 2nd half with Sweden in 16. Since then it's been more random.
