We are judging what people who has this access are saying. Of course they can be wrong.
Okay, so it's just repeating commentary and opinions from the YouTube live, cool thanks. I just like to know whether people have been able to watch and form their own opinions or whether it's the hype train gathering steam again!

Apparently, the breaks in the show are between Serbia and UK and then Finland and Bulgaria.

I knew it! They need the break to install the trumpets and rock.

Most people won't "hear better" or the difference with better quality and bitrates going above Youtube's standard, dozens of studies have shown. They can't be sure that the juries heard what they heard. So for this, the YT stream is actually a decent source.

I seriously think we should get a random order. But can we talk about fairness when we have countries who are in the final because of money!?

This won't be Kirkorov's sugary sweet last dance! xheat

I don't think you can argue that an echoey feed from the press room in Rotterdam gives the same listening experience as an official show broadcast, but maybe you have a different feed than what I have watched previously. From my experience the ESCUNITED YouTube lives weren't reliable for judging the performances, and that's not a slight on the service that the team have provided since the primary function of then is to provide insights, opinions and commentary rather than a direct feed to watch the jury shows and rehearsals.

Anyway, I understand now what you are all watching now and I know that I'm not missing any magical links to the direct camera feeds of the jury shows/rehearsals so all is good. I'm holding off until the live GF show tomorrow night!

And in just 24 hours from now, we'll be in the thick of the voting!! xheat

Will the televote be presented in the same way as last year?

I guess? My biggest concern though is that the juries only give their 12s now, I can to some extent understand why EBU scrapped that 39 countries' spokespersons would verbally give 1-12, but why did they have to scrap the 8-12? There is little suspense now xshrug

At least we're fortunate he's good looking. But I am fed up too.

Yeah, he wasn't even the public #1 yet we are constantly fed the illusion that he was the most popular ESC winner of the last decades xshrug

But yes, the guy is good looking, and while I never really liked that entry I still think the juries did one thing right and save us from that kitschy Popera that would have won... also Måns' entry did manage to cross-over a bit after the contest, which is rare for ESC winners (or ESC entries in general) let's be real, but still I am tired of him always being there and again it just proves that the contest is under Swedish control xshrug
