STAGE

[alca]

No matter what you say guys, this was one of the best stages I've seen! Not too small, not too big! Russia's stage last year was really bad! You couldn't tell who is on stage when they took wide shots! But yesterday it was amazing! The lighting, the colors everything! Well done Norway!

The stage is too small, but I can stand that.
But the whole show was boring and I didn't expect this coming from Norway. Two much time with the hosts talking and the videos sucked.
The camera worked was horrible. The cameras went crazy and started to run and fly so quickly and I finished with a headache after those movings....

On the other hand, the lights, the postcards and the set were perfect.

Did you watch the same contest as the one I watched? "Too much time with the hosts talking"? Umm.. compared to what, Eurovision 1967 when there were only, what, 7 countries participating?!

This was one of the least host-focused semi-finals in the history of Eurovision. 85% of their dialogue was about the new mechanics of this year's contest (how you can now vote throughout the entire contest), which they have to talk about. The other 15% was for the commercial breaks/"half-time" show and even then it was pretty limited.

I think I found my ESC-soul mate in here!

Well, 1967 had 17, not 7 but still you're right about everything.

PS Well, we do have our disagreements, alca.

The stage was ok, the camera work was bad!! And the show was cheap and boring...i think... :roll:

 

[ParadiseES]

You can compare with any other semifinal and you'll find out how the host were too much time talking this year. Actually, it was not so annoying cause they were nice and did a fantastic job (not like last years' semifinal hosts which were horrible). But for example, too many breaks between the acts and too long.

It should be just one in the middle and the final one to let people vote

 

[94ayd]

Maybe that was due to the fact we have so few songs in the semis this year. They were 1 or 2 more last year and the year before (it doesn't sound like that many, I know ). What about showing off how good Norwegians are in languages and what a great sense of humour they have...

did you already noticed that this years stage is including lots of elements of recent years?!
for example:
the circle around the stage: 2000
the black floor: 2005
the monitors on top of the hall: 1998
the greenroom behind the stage: 2003 (I think it is behind the stage)
the light-frame above of the stage: 2001
the background lights: 2007
the catwalk: 2002

(don't take it too serious )
