Posted May 1, 20223 yr https://escxtra.com/2022/04/21/eurovision-2...arsal-schedule/ Rehearsals started yesterday. It seems that the first rehearsal is closed except for released clips on TikTok like this one of icons Bulgaria yesterday. More information probably available in a few days. https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound...442025467169541 I am going on ESCXtra's livestream to talk about the rehearsals and clips later, if all goes well I may do that a few times over the next two weeks
May 1, 20223 yr Less information than we usually get due to them closing off the first rehearsals to the press but there doesn’t seem to have been any complete disasters so far this year. Portugal seems to have gone down particularly well from today.
May 2, 20223 yr Author Less information than we usually get due to them closing off the first rehearsals to the press but there doesn’t seem to have been any complete disasters so far this year. Portugal seems to have gone down particularly well from today. Latvia looks hella messy but I suppose that's what they're going for to an extent. Also it seems Albania have had to change their original plan because it was too racy :/ come on EBU that's something you should tell them long before if it's an issue. Portugal definitely looks like they're doing well for the song they have, some beautiful lighting, I don't know if it'll save it but they should be proud of it.
May 2, 20223 yr Less information than we usually get due to them closing off the first rehearsals to the press but there doesn’t seem to have been any complete disasters so far this year. Portugal seems to have gone down particularly well from today. Except for the fact that half the stage is malfunctioning. The so called sun isn't rotating so right now all they have is lights that can change. Serbia's staging needs to be redone apparantly
May 3, 20223 yr Author The sun debacle seems embarrassing. Multiple nations apparently having to change their plans because it won't be fixed in time. What a shame.
May 3, 20223 yr Italian organisation everyone! Sweden also having the nerve to show up with a circular instrument that can move from the melfest staging is also pretty juicy ngl!
May 4, 20223 yr So many acts are SCREWED by the uglyness of the staging due to that sun :rip: Italy really tried to upstage last years contest but brought us back to the 00's instead
May 4, 20223 yr Greece and Portugal are the standouts of today's rehearsals from the clips released so far.
May 5, 20223 yr Author Press Poll: https://escxtra.com/2022/05/04/press-poll-r...nesday-4th-may/ #1 Greece 25.10% #2 Ukraine 15.60% #3 Portugal 14.10% #4 Netherlands 9.90% #5 Latvia 7.30% Looking very good for Greece and also Portugal indeed (as they're far more on the borderline) considering that most of semi 1 performed yesterday.
May 7, 20223 yr Author press poll results day 2 and 3: https://escxtra.com/2022/05/05/press-poll-r...ursday-5th-may/ https://escxtra.com/2022/05/06/press-poll-r...friday-6th-may/ the main thing that stands out to me is Azerbaijan coming out of nowhere - that top 2 from day 2 is very unexpected. Day 3 looks more normal.
May 7, 20223 yr Author @1522899074713899009 er, holy shit Italy. Apparently it wasn't their best rehearsal. Spain and UK looking in contention though.
May 7, 20223 yr These camera angles are not it for Ronela! I'm still hoping she or Amanda can sneak top 5!
May 7, 20223 yr Apparently Blanco didn’t show for the rehearsals which could explain the abysmal results (below Germany lmao yikes)
May 7, 20223 yr Wow that's terrible for Italy :o both BLANCO and Mahmood sounded off and looked tired in the clip I saw which may be related to their touring schedules. Hopefully just an off-week as I really enjoyed their Sanremo performances :( on the other hand... I can't believe how well the stars seem to be aligning for the U.K. right now. C'mon Sam! (I think BLANCO missed one rehearsal but was there for another - again touring related as far as I'm aware)
May 9, 20223 yr Spain and UK looking good to be top 5 in the final show. :D :heart: :yahoo: I won't accept anyone else apart from these two for the win.
