May 11, 20196 yr im against showing rehearsals and now youre dealing it as a competition besides the actual competition which is stupid, rehearsals shouldnt be seen by public it kills the surprise.
May 11, 20196 yr Who, outside of Eurovision fandom, bothers to seek out rehearsals? I haven't watched any of them and I'm pretty avid!! I don't see the problem.
May 11, 20196 yr The press poll is a good barometer at seeing who has far exceeded expectations, but it’s by no means the holy grail. I remember Donny Montell getting a slating in 2016, but still got a top ten placing as his song was strong and staging was to the point (and it was Lithuania). They have a tendency to overthink in that press centre. Edited May 11, 20196 yr by ScottyEm
May 12, 20196 yr Author god forbid that a competition helps drum up interest in its upcoming shows by getting the press to spread the word about what cool shit is going down They’ve been so variable this year that anything could happen really. Except Finland qualifying.
May 12, 20196 yr Yeah it's all part of the fun for me! I love seeing snippets of how songs might be staged, and then all the predictions and odds shift, I especially love when some random contender emerges (like France is now for example), it's always fun to see what's gonna happen in the space of this week or so before the actual contest. It is really only fans who'll seek them out and even then not all of them, so I can't see the issue. It's another part of the calendar between national finals and the actual contest!
