Things you will miss in 2018 compared to 2017

[Gabe]

What will Portugal definitely not have that Ukraine did? What will we miss?

I'll miss being able to ask [MENTION=4377]AlekS[/MENTION] whenever I want to know any insider information

I will miss the size of the led-screen

Meo arena with the stage of 2016 in it:

This photo is supposed to be real scale which means that the stage will probably not have an led-screen as wide as the one in ukraine and the stage will be more like the ones in 2013 or 2016

They also already said that that they want to make the contest "simple and elegant" which could imnpact the size of the stage

 

[Realest]

The absence of Russia.

 

[Ezio]

The huge LED was boring anyways and so full of selfies.

 

[revallsay]

The beehive.

I'm afraid Portugal will go all stripped-down show to make some sort of point about "artistry", which may work for some songs, but not if you want a cool show and musical diversity, but we'll see...

Otherwise it's hard to miss 2017 which was, atleast musically entry-wise, one of the worst ESC years in modern ESC history. Let's hope next year will have better entries.

This will be Eurovision in Portugal, not a big Festival da Canção. If some entries require props, I'm sure they will be there for the show. Even in The Voice Portugal the stages are much better than in the national final.

Fancy stage...knowing how conservative RTP is i'm afraid we'll have Oslo 2010 deja vu

[SaladBreak]

Red carpet hosts in Ukraine were epic.
But I won't exclude the possibility of Portugal hiring them in 2018

MEO Arena is much bigger overall. Maybe not quite as wide, but we could have an LED setup more like Copenhagen. More vertical.

Oslo 2010

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

Definitely Yodelling Also political bitching leading up to the Contest :3

 

[Romeo]

I think I will probably miss thinking the UK could do well... I think after Lucie everything will be a disappointment to me... The BBC will never allow 2 good songs in a row hahaha

 

[ZoboCamel]

political bitching leading up to the Contest :3

I'm sure we'll still have plenty, as with every year
