SEMI 1 DISCUSSION

[Mirko]

Only the guys who comes from those countries that have lost the first semi final are getting worked up over the show and the german organization! :-) It's true that there was that stupid sound problem. But it only affected the commentators, not that what on the stage happened. You was able to clearly hear the sound and music.
The only thing I agree with you is, that its really a shame that Norway, San Marino and Poland has not win that semi final (I am so sorry for it!)! But they didn't win it due to the technical problems, but due to the "Balkan Connection"!!! Thats my opinion ;-)

Well, I hope that the next show will go on without technical probs and everyone will have fun and enjoy the show! Pls note: technical probs can happen every time and everywhere! Thats not cause we germans can not organize a show! :-)

I think nobody has ever swore so much during the live broadcast o_____0

Alex Sparrow with "This is Russia, whores!" or "This is Russia, f-ck!"

Someone swore in Ukrainian commentator's place or in Kyiv. "You f-ed me both!"

What where when?

 

[Gandan]

I'm shocked O_____O

 

[JackBauer]

The show itself & the host were great.



The sounds problems; which are mostly a few germans technicians and EBU's fault are however very unprofessional!


I'm sorry but having that kind of problems in europe biggest country and one with all the financial support it needs is a disgrace.


When you see countries smaller like Serbia, Estonia or Latvia with less than ten millions of people and therefore less experience because they are not used to hosting very big big events like olympics games or champions league finals etc ,and often with tv channel with less money than the german, hosting perfect & professionals shows, you can only ask yourself how this disaster happened.

My biggest problem with the show was with that complete arse Stefan Raab. He isn't funny or entertaining and he sounds like a whiny teenager.

He is funny... but not when he moderate, especially when he speaks english. It was a very bad idea, to choose him.

@Lenalite - Thanks for voting our song

I like the hosts, but our commentator also used mobile phone
Some people here really exaggerate. It was a nice show

Totally agree )))
In fact those f-ck ups made it special ))) + instead of 2 commentators we had 3.
Nobody commented here during the first 10 minutes (when the hosts were blah blah blah about the rules), it was direct transmission without translation but it's ok... we didn't vote in the 1st semi, anyway

 

[JackBauer]

Oh and by the way if Spain had technical difficulties and people didn't have sound for Norway, i hope they used the jury only because if they didn't that's really unfair to Norway!

 

[AlekS]

What where when?

Our screw up with coarsing was in the beginning.
Sparrow coarsed when he was announced as a qualifier

Our commentators were shocked a little after Alex... then the girl said "you see, this is the live broadcast "

We had only 1 boring commentator

 

[Paper7]

And to the sound:

I've watched the contest on two broadcasters: SF2 (Swiss TV) and Pro7 (German TV), and it sounds partly very different... maybe the soundproblem (except commentators) was'nt (not only) up to germany?

 

[Margerita86]

Well we'll see what we'll hear tomorrow. There was some problems syncing sound and picture last year in Sweden but that was due to SVT screwing up.

 

[adamsamways]

There are strong reports coming from Spain that Norway's audio didn't come through properly? I don't know what will come of this but its worth mentioning...

 

[sannerz]

Aw, my birthplace was shown on the first postcard of the 1st Semifinal!
GO WUPPERTAL!

 

[PashonFrut]

Great job Germany! I enjoyed the show very much, I had no sound problems whatsoever My favourite presentator is Anke (the one with the purple dress), she is really goofy I like her

I'm not gonna lie though, I did miss the Norwegian presentators a bit

 

[Grinch]

@Frut I miss everything about Oslo 2010! It was the best in 2000's. Entries, shows, interval act, hosts...

Me too, I don't think any country will overtake Norway at being the best host country any time soon. Germany did a good job though, let's give them a chance. I'm sure the final will be spectacular. Every country saves the best for the final lol
