Eurovision Song Contest 2023 - Liverpool

Accredited press no longer allowed to see any of the first week rehearsals, and banned from live streaming during the dress rehearsals, which is a bit of a shame - even if the amount of fan footage we've been getting in recent years was already less than it used to be.

I will miss the reviews and listening to audio/reaction from the jury shows though.

Hopefully the official coverage will be a bit better this year because those TikToks last year were shit.
 
I think the problem last year was the number of people live streaming during rehearsals and I just remembered, they were accepting donations as well which... eh... I do agree with Eurovision for putting a stop to that.

A rehearsal should be for REHEARSING. The artists shouldn't expect the public to see them/hear them. Leave that for the public dress rehearsals.
 
I know streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music aren't popular in Balkan countries but I wish the Serbian songs were on streaming. Listening to them on YouTube is kind of annoying.

Usually it takes some days for them to get out but they should be out on streaming.

Serbia has many great songs. Surprisingly lots of men delivered and I see some LGBT representation.

Obviously I am rooting for Hurricane. I think it‘s great but needs some tweaking. Also they are very new so don‘t know if they can deliver.

Generally about ESC:

I love the stage, as long as we get LED and a catwalk I am happy.

I understand the decision to cut everyone off the first week but I always enjoyed it to get hyped.
 
There’s a great and insightful chapter in his most recent book about Eurovision and the inner workings of the semi finals from a commentator’s perspective. He said they get given a ‘bible’ that they need to study - facts about each country, tidbits about the performance, past performance etc. I imagine he was given something similar for the draw to read up on?
Sis there would have a teleprompter nn

Serbian ESC be like...let the best twink win too bad they together share one octave.

I do think Zumi zimi zami is the best at first listen and superior to Loco and Hasta la vista, but production is still cheap and I don't think they have the skill to perform like Sanja, Ksenija and Ivana.
I'm surprised that Zejna has the most views, the song is good but Serbians not gonna let it win, there is only one Romale Romali.
