Eurovision 60th anniversary Show

[GRE]

It seems that this show will not be as glamorous & outstanding we expected.

It's noraml for Czech Republic not to broadcast it. They only participated three times before 2015, and the last time they did was 6 years ago. So if CT broadcasts the show before ESC in many people will be like "greatest hits of what?!". However if they do well in the ESC 2015 the show could have success, but only if they'd broadcast it after this year's Eurovision.

The Dutchies are organising 'Songfestival Sing Along' on May 15th in Ziggodome (Amsterdam).
Johnny Logan, Alexander Rybak, Brotherhood of Man, Sandra Kim and many other artists will perform that evening.

wow. They have really gone there?

Lenny Kuhr (The Netherlands 1969)
Brotherhood of Man (United Kingdom 1976)
Sandra Reemer (The Netherlands 1972 and 1976)
Maggie McNeal (The Netherlands 1980)
Johnny Logan (Ireland 1980 and 1987)
Frizzle Sizzle (The Netherlands 1986)
Ruth Jacott (The Netherlands 1993)*
Marlayne (The Netherlands 1999)
Esther Hart (The Netherlands 2003)
Edsilia Rombley (The Netherlands 1998 and 2007)
Alexander Rybak (Norway 2009)*
Emmelie de Forest (Denmark 2013)

Fair to say this is just for the dutch... I don't imagine countries purchasing a show where 8 of the 12 songs are dutch. This just doesn't compare to what the BBC is showing (which is far from perfect as well).

 

[GRE]

They will have 5 eurovision winners.
How many will be in London?

Last year the Greek National Final had 6 eurovision winners.

13.

13.

If a national final can gather 6 winners,
then 13 is not a very good number for an official anniversary show, promoted by EBU.

out of 15 songs being performed? Plus winning songs are not always the best. Azerbaijan 2011, Denmark 2013 just to name a couple.

 

[esc87fan]

Bobbysocks (Norway 1985) has just been added to the line-up!

 

[GRE]

This has to be a good thing yes?

 

[Leydan]

Fabulous. More Scandinavia.

What a bad running order.
Norway 1985 last?!?

 

[esc87fan]

It makes sense to have Bobbysocks there because this is the 30th anniversary of Norway's first win

 

[Euro1989]

What a bad running order.
Norway 1985 last?!?

Yes it does seem a little strange, something like Euphoria would be good to end on I would of thought, with some pyrotechnics and such for a big finale.
