wtf, at the end when there is only one place left, they show a screen split in 6 to see the 6 candidate at the same time x_x

 

[MopManMoss]

It somehow gets even worse there is a six way split screen for the last qualifier

 

[Leydan]

They still have time to go back on this, because it's absolutely tragic.

Anyway, I have copy pasting my comment to not do this on every turquoise carpet post on instagram.

edit: finished, can people see my comments are do they get automatically removed due to spam?

 

[goncalovieira]

This is terrible. All delegations should protest

 

[0scar]

It is a small green room so they can't fit all the artist in there??? what

 

[Realest]

Why am I not suprised that you defend this??

But this Idea doesnt come from SVT?

 

[Looren]

This has to be the worst change I ever witnessed in ESC

 

[ESC94]

But guess who´s the supervisor and where he comes from.

 

[Wynnter]

I was already a bit eh when they started showing everyones faces when giving the grand final televoting points

 

[GermanBango]

The EBU is just a shit show at this point. Claiming they are not going to open the rehearsals due to protecting the mental health of the artists and at the same time coming up with this bs? Come on ...

 

[GermanBango]

But guess who´s the supervisor and where he comes from.

Yea let's not spin this into another "Sweden is destroying Eurovision"-tirade. We don't even know who came up with this bs ... might as well come from BBC. Fact is: We don't know so no need to stoke hate.

 

[nofuxCZ]

So much for protecting the artists' well being. Horrible, horrible change. I don't need to see it on TV to know it's the worst change they have ever done.

 

[HayashiM]

Absolutely terrible decision by the EBU, I feel so bad already for the NQ artists

So eventually, it's not a joke.

Worst EBU decision ever. Pretending to care about the artists and cutting all press during rehearsals only to do this nightmare just for the sake of building up the tension. As if the old way wasn't exciting enough.

 

[Gitte]

I find it cute how some people are back in their casual clothes there though

 

[MopManMoss]

Martin Österdahl is obsessed with making eurovision into a global brand he has said so many times in interviews hence American song contest and that bizarre candaian one that was announced and appears to be dead, this gross reality tv change is just the latest result of his vision for the contest, I miss Jon Ola Sand

 

[Wynnter]

Also the idea of having random interviews halfway through (which just extends the runtime anyways) that are apparently just one random question for each qualified artist is a bit annoying to say the least.

The press conference exists, EBU?

Yeah sorry, got a bit emotional. Doesn´t change my image of Österdahl though.

 

[GermanBango]

Either way it's is now the delegation's obligation to protect their artists and demand the EBU to revert this insane change.

Or the audience booing in the arena, but idk how that would appear to people who are unaware or don't care.
