Please post any and all discussions regarding the contest itself, host country and city, organisation, rumours and other topics not related to any specific country's selection process.

Interesting to have the 2015 Televote winner to perform in SF2 and having the 2020 representative back in SF1. It's really a nice touch.

Samya Hasfaoui will host this year's Eurovision youtube series, just like Krista Siegfried last year, i guess.

This is good news : of last year we all agree that NikkieTutorials was THE revelation of the contest, but i think Hasfaoui did a really, really good job too, her press confs were really pleasing to watch imo. Plus, it really shows, if it had to say again, that production and team-wise, Rotterdam did mark a new milestone in the contest.

Colleague: "How about we do a meeting May 12th from 1-4pm ET?"
Me, knowing the semi starts at 3: "It appears I have an appointment that afternoon."

Yesterday it just hit me: in 2 wks we will have learnt about all 20 qualifiers Oo Can you imagine?!?!?!

This means that press and audience members will need to wear FFP2 masks during the show’s events inside the Pala Olimpico.

🇮🇹 Eurovision 2022: Masks Will Be Mandatory Inside The Arena - Eurovoix

Italian Minister of Health Roberto Speranza announced yesterday that wearing masks will be mandatory indoors up until June 15th.

The masking requirement is a bit weird given that a year ago when the world was in a lot worse of a situation with covid the eurovision audience didnt wear masks

It's not weird. Each country has its own rules. I've been in November at Pala Alpitour in Torino to watch the Tennis Finals Master Tournament and all people were wearing FFP2 masks donated by the organizers. I don't know the situation in Gb or around Europe but here we still have high numbers.

I somehow didn´t notice that Benny Benassi and Sophie and the Giants will be perform as an interval act in semi 1 as well!

Personally, I think that RAI is doing a fantastic job so far! - I´d love to hear Marco Mengoni as well (maybe in the GF since he´s become such a powerhouse in the Italian music scene) but so far, RAI is giving the fans what they want, for sure!

From tomorrow, where can we talk about the rehearsals ? I mean, is there a spoiler policy, or a specific topic to talk about it ?

if we know something about it...

 

[GermanBango]

I doubt that there will be much to talk about because well … not even the press gets to see the first rehearsals.

I hope there will be snippets of rehearsals on ESC channel

You can also check Eurovision page on tick tock. You don't need to download an app. If I understand right, the first rehearsal clips will appear there.

For anyone who is interested in the rehearsals, official ESC page has a live blog like they did for last year's.

Gotta say: The stage is looking really awesome.

Agree, one of the best stages in recent years.

 

[EscGeek]

This Tiktok content is just garbage... I can't care for it even if it's eurovision related.
I can't even get a glimpse of what to expect on stage.. it's just 30 seconds of nothing, with useless talking over the music.

I´m impressed that the green room is actually "green" - so many real and alive plants! Awesome idea!

According to eurovision.tv´s live blog, there are 1,700 individual bushes/plants in the green room!!! Oo

It honestly feels like they do everything they can this year to make not care about ESC at all. They could have at least posted some decent snippets of the rehearsals, it wouldn't hurt anyone if they picked the snippet carefully.
