I was watching online and I thought the applause was a tad disproportionate to the amount if ppl actually in the arena, so that explains it. The postcards are refreshingly different. I quite like the inclusion of the maps (without borders I noted) and I love how they've shown the artists at the end. Having a clip of the song during the qualifiers announcement was a nice touch, though in such a case I would've dispensed with the final recap. The other thing I would change is after the qualifiers are announced, they show the green room again, but then we'll see all the NQs looking disappointed.
When Cyprus was first and we saw the map, I was very surprised that maps are used, as borders are such an area of contention, but was quickly relieved when I realised the maps were used just as a general location of each participating country
Yeah, when you hear this one immigrant boy saying something like "They're trash, I swear to god, they're from Norway, this is Sweden" - you can already see where this is going. Good luck anyway...
Him wearing a Keffyeh on his wrist was definitely a choice. I mean... it's not Palestinian per se, but the sentiment was clear. And as an Israeli I can respect that kind of choice.
@@idogonen3075 Eric Saade gave a statement to the press: "I got that shawl from my father as a little boy, to never forget where the family comes from. I didn't know then that it would one day be called a 'political symbol'. It's like calling the Dala horse [a typical Swedish souvenier] a political symbol. In my eyes, that's just racism. I just wanted to be inclusive and wear something authentic to me - but the EBU seems to find my ethnicity controversial. It says nothing about me, but everything about them. I say as this year's ESC slogan: United by music."
Stuart, possibly my favorite ESC reactor. Yeah, sure, the anti-booing technology will come in with full force this year. Please can I ask, without the opportunity to legitimately protest or raise Palestinian flags, would it be an idea that the entire audience turn their back on Israel's performance this year.
Personally a turned back would be my preferred method of protest. But nasty as it may be, booing is a form of non-violent protest. And let's be honest, people get booed for much less.
@@stu_makes_vids i feel so too but booing still has it's reason and purpose. The sound-blocking of the EBU may help the broadcast, but fan based videos posted on youtube will serve to tell the true story of the contest.
Portugal ❤❤❤soo beautiful song and performance too ❤goo Iolanda

The Border thing is 100% because of Israel and Serbia.
I doubt they care much about pissing off Russia tho

Great review video as expected :) Looking forward to your content this week!
The kids at the end lmaooooo
You can tell how uncool it is to be a fan of Marcus & Martinus in the pre-teen boy demographic there
Yeah, when you hear this one immigrant boy saying something like "They're trash, I swear to god, they're from Norway, this is Sweden" - you can already see where this is going. Good luck anyway...
Teen boys definitely dislike Marcus and Martinus on mass scale scale. Jealousy maybe, who knows?
I hate the anti-booing technology since it doesn't give a realistic experience for tv viewers
Letting Eric Saade with his palestinial heritage open the whole show... Nice play from svt
