They came. They ate some fancy canapés. And they did it wearing their Sunday best. But ahead of the Eurovision 2024 Opening Ceremony, the majority of this year’s acts also walked the Turquoise Carpet.
Austria’s Kaleen, Malta’s Sarah Bonnici and Norway’s Gåte all went back to black. While Germany’s Isaak, Poland’s Luna, and Switzerland’s Nemo all opted for eye-popping colour.
But who worked the turquoise carpet best? We need your help deciphering the fashion does from the fashion please don’ts. So please vote in our poll.
Turquoise Carpet: Who had the best look at the Eurovision 2024 Opening Ceremony?
You can review most of the looks in our Turquoise Carpet interview playlist above. And you can find the rest of the images by visiting the EBU-run Eurovision web site.
So who did you vote for? Whose look are you hoping to see replicated on ASOS or Teemu? Let us know down below…
Good that Ukraine is performing after Ireland. To purify the energies in the Arena, after that dark sound and message.
Light energies again.
Ukraine’s short snippet of yesterday looks beautiful. I am happy that it is not all red like in the rehearsals.
Good luck to Jerry Heil and alyona alyona and my other favorite contestants. Serbia, Moldova and Isaak Germany.
Respect to Ireland, I never expected it to be this good. This is incredibly well done. It’s like so good and smart, what a renaissance after all that agony they were sending before. Bravo!
For laughs, let’s flash back to when the international jury gave the Louis Walsh boy band 12 points at the Irish final
That was a disgrace. Ailshe would have maybe… maybe qualified for the final but needed a lot of work. In the end Doomsday Blue was the obvious and correct option given Bambie Thug being quite the creative individual is being given a pretty impressive level of control over their staging and how it is filmed, and it shows with how our staging looks. I was 8 when we last won and as an adult I’ve never looed forward to seeing how our entry does… until now. Bambie is killing it and we’re looking at a top ten finish… I’m positively… Read more »
Omg I still remember this moment of international shame
Ari, what’s your avatar picture? Very nice
Ending of Bambie’s performance with audience (few minutes ago):
https://youtube.com/shorts/OjfXpuXlf_I?si=fjtPx_oz2GgNXcD2
Ireland passed the Netherlands too in the odds to climb to 5th place now and I expect their odds to shorten further after tomorrow’s semi. Bambie’s building momentum.
It’s why I’m such an ass pain on here… No more feeling ‘overlooked’ Bambie. 23hrs to go. Have a great night all.
“I can reveal… that the final country to go through to Saturday’s final… is…
…
…
…
…
…
…
… IRELAND!”
As an Irishman Bart Simpson has a wonderful quote ready:
I feel so full of… What’s the opposite of shame? .. Pride?
The hex is working!
Im happy for you that you are excited about your entry:)
Bambie. Zombie.
I mentioned it earlier, but didn’t realise until listening to it just now the significance. It’s obviously a commentary on G a z a.
https://youtu.be/8LxmX6uQBbE?si=RXaqC2eYq41Kgjwi
And our wonderful friends in Ukraine… Stay strong.
I don’t want to be put in the same box as G.za. No, thanks.
Absolutely love The Cranberries. Salvation was a song that got me through some tough times. RIP Dolores.
Her voice features on the opening of the 1995 contest, so I’m claiming her as one of Eurovision’s own.
Gone too soon.
For those who wonder about postcards; here it is the postcard of Ukraine:
https://twitter.com/EurovisionNewZ/status/1787520465621197201
56 seconds? Isn’t 45 seconds usually?
Yes; it also looked me short. They didn’t even mention about Jamala and Kalush Orchestra; only mentioned about Ukraine’s 2004 winner 🙁
Two power women.
Where are they? Standing in a train station??
Why didn’t Sweden choose a beautiful church or boat ride for them?
All postcards are self service this year. The acts make themselves at home on a smartphone.
I see now. Lol.
Still two power women.
And the leaked rehearsal looks beautiful.
OGAE Greece youtube account shared brief snippets filmed during today’s dress rehearsal ( 12 seconds):
https://youtu.be/Hn5wD9K3Pyk?si=k9B1CNBaa52ojZ8x
It’s Ukraine.
Looks beautiful.
Less red. I am happy.
SPOILER ALERT – BAMBIE – DONT WATCH IF YOU WANT TO BE SURPRISED:
https://youtu.be/UQL2URKAurk?si=cJGBRlU89tF9__wl
And it’s been taken down… It’s amazing folks!!!
And another… May be taken down also:
https://youtu.be/iERK7lTlU9s?si=Vm1SsQP_MuwDmmWB
I saw the video just before the tragic disappearance, now unavailable.
Let’s shower Bambie with laurels, the staging surpasses all those in the history of eurovision
There are other videos of the (television!) performance uploaded too. I did a quick YouTube search and found not only Ireland but Ukraine as well. I won’t succumb to the temptation to watch them.
PS. Apparently the leaked videos were enough to push Ireland already up to 6th place in the odds. Bambie Thug seems set to give Ireland their best result in decades and I’m here for it.
The last few seconds of the audience… Cinan can be seen… They look delighted.
Lead us not into temptation!
Here’s a new link… It’ll likely disappear also… Different drop so somethings less visible (and oh my witches… This will be replayed and entered into every ‘about ESC’ documentary until the end of days… EPIC:
https://youtu.be/keJT1D7cfd8?si=8ANvIIhon1_69hq-
give in, innocent angel!! what 2 minutes is ?
Epic, listen to Fergal!
For 52 years I’ve been waiting for something say that… Listen to FERGAL!!! ?
I’m sorry, Fergal, I will not let you lead me astray.
Hahaha… You’ll be happy.
It wasn’t the best Turqouise Carpet but the artists themselves all looked fabulous. I’m impressed by all the work and detail they put into all of these things they’re asked to do.
I voted for Silvester.
He looked very suave. I wasn’t keen on his dancers’ full head coverings though.
Somewhat perturbing out of context, but they were to accentuate Silverster’s own glory. I guess.
When Saba was asked to sing a few lyrics into the camera, I half expected her to sing “SAND! SAAAAAAAND!”
I think there is something uncomfortable in judging the looks of the participants, everybody looked great and are giving their best. I really dont like the mean comments about their looks especially about Isaac
Thank you.
I think that’s a Western attitude, and especially here on Wiwi.
My parents are from the East, I grew up in the West and am used to this and adopted it myself too a bit, unfortunately.
On other blogs and forums you see that people in the East and South East Eurovision countries are very positive and nice about each others singers.
If you don’t like it that much, you don’t mention it, or in a kind way, that you hoped for something different so do will do well and have a good performance.
Liverpool was the best .
One of my favorite Opening ceremony was the one in Turin but the Eurovision itself was kinda messed up. I sure do hope it will be the opposite this year.
Let’s call things by their names. Olly, in my opinion, exaggerated. Eurovision is a family show. He crossed the limits of boldness. Good song, but exaggerated performance.
And its not because he is gay. If that was a man and a woman i would say the same.
Sekret was a popular song and didn’t qualify because performance was too sexualised and that was not man. Its not about gender its just that sometimes it can be too much. Not even just too sexy, too cute too dark too bright have also been problematic before
Ronela messed up the live performance. That’s why it NQ’d.
It was aggressive and a forced performance, but I think she lost points because there was almost an orgy on stage.
That’s another example.
Sekret didn’t qualify because the song was very bad & the staging was a total mess.
Yawn
best looks for me
Lithuania, Cyprus, Australia
Im so hyped for tomorrow
None. “Forth world” faces and additutes.
Off topic.
Can’t wait to hear Bambie’s cover of “Zombie” by The Cranberries. I imagine it will be a perfect fit.
?
Not sure if that’s an actual question mark or supposed to be an emoji, but their version is on the way. They filmed a video for it on their day off, at a Malmö cemetery.
emoji heeheee
On the ‘tikitytok’:
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGeQ6mpHp/
that would be a MOMENT
i want Bambie to collab with Lordi, can it? i imagine they’d be a perfect team
Zombie Thug. Should fir her perfect.
There’s a nice collection of ‘shorts’ on the ESC spotlight channel if you want to see better clips of the costumes/music:
https://youtube.com/@EurovisionSpotlight?si=AZbCtFjAXIPvSPFL
(and go to the ‘shorts’ tab… Link lands on the main page in unfortunately)
U.K. has a nice collection of shorts too.
Controversial, I know.
Hehehe cheeky
Ahhh thank you, these are great!
Granny Lasagna ftw… or Baby Red Lasagna Hood
Judging the reactions I read on YouTube, I don’t have to check it out. I guess the winner is Eden Golan because she wasn’t there and me because I enjoyed the sun instead. At least they cared enough to get adequate hosts for the actual shows. Regardless of that, I haven’t been looking forward to a Eurovision week so much in a long time and I’m expecting beautiful performances and just maybe there will even be a good result. Time to enjoy. Have fun everyone.
If Ireland or Switzerland win. Both are neutral countries. This could make organizing the contest next year a lot easier. Neutral countries invite whoever they want. Israel’s participation wouldn’t be as questionable.
Definitely not what I meant. The best should win and I’m hoping it’ll be one of my faves regardless of country. Also, organising is like Sweden’s thing. They knew what they signed up for and they wanted it. Other countries won’t have it any easier.
In several interviews to several press, Ukraine’s representative state in case Ukraine wins, they will sell the trophy and donate the money 🙁
Let alone winning this boring song doesnt deserve to in top3 🙁 If Czechia sent this song, it would have not overhyped like this.
Ewwww as if the song’s lyrics/themes as well as the flying missiles across the stage weren’t bad enough.
Like it or not, they do have a chance of winning. The song is one of the best in a very poor year and they tightened it up for the live performance. I am actually very excited to see their performance. But of course, Croatia & Switzerland are still the TOP2 favourites. With Italy having a smaller chance and maybe even France could snatch it. Whoever wins, it will be a big improvement from the utter trash that won last year.
Omg people on this site .. I have no words. Every single detail in everything gets analysed and missunderstood. I have never been in a more toxic environment. I think I’m done now..
Eurovision week is not easy for eveyone. People get mad. Next week, after it’s over, they get depressed.
which is why we have to enjoy every single second of this week
I’m with you. Sadly it’s been all season. 1-min after a NF it’s like a bar brawl of xenophobics, this week is utopian in contrast.
Anywho… Bear with it. Bambie’s nearly been crowned… Not long now… Wahahahh 🙂 (is that a witchy laugh in letters?)
Enjoy the next few days. Be nicer people. Takes less effort.
Yes, Milla. It’s hard to be bashed by ordes of Eurofans when something goes wrong. It’s the karma. Think Italians and RAI who have been bashed, and still arez occasionally, for the broken sun, for the mess at the Eurovillage due to its crazy success and huge attendance that nobody would have imagined before. For the camera fails. Even for the choice of the hosts. Good luck. I suggest Maalox for the stomach pain.
For real toxic, read what Tim Stanley of The Telegraph is saying about the contest today.
He’s with me. and you can do it too: #boycotteurovision this year! #boycottsweden For Palestine & because of Sweden’s special unfair treatment & because Swedes have turned the contest into a bigger MelFest.
Mental health breaks are always advised if necessary! Enjoy the week, feel proud.
Hi Milla, I don’t know where you are from. I think that toxic is a typical Western attitude, and especially here on this Wiwi blog. My parents are from the East, but I grew up in the West and am used to this and adopted it myself too a bit, unfortunately.

The Turqoise Carpet is not something vital to the ESC experience so I don’t think it matters if it felt underwhelming (I didn’t even follow it). The important stuff is the week that commences today.
And with that said: Happy Eurovision 2024 week everyone!
It’s the first occasion to know the singers outside the contest for those who will not attend any show. For me it’s much more important than the flag parade.
It shouldn’t be the occasion to let the hosts behave like divas and to watch in loop the same building of a city…
Totally agree. The way it has been organized by SVT is how a turquoise carpet shouldn’t be organized. If there was a security threat better to cancel it.
Happy Eurovision 2024 week! and may the best entry win, and honestly winning isn’t everything, it also is about us hoping our favourites can make us proud fans regardless of results
Shockingly bad production.
Off topic: Thank you to Natalia Barbu for releasing the music video to “In The Middle”. It’s beautiful. 🙂
Why is Eurovision trying to limit its target group to gay people? And not only gay but a narrow part of gay community? Eurovision will lose respect soon, it’s not all inclusive, it’s just becoming feminine gay / drag pub show. How do artist feel with such amateurish, overly dressed, ignorant maniacs asking them dumb questions and not giving any attention? It’s a fall of Eurovision. Can’t imagine expanding budget by brining Turkey or Hungary in. I am gay myself but I don’t like drag shows, don’t find it funny, don’t find it arty, am not attracted by it and… Read more »
Andrew Tate, Tyson Fury, Jordan Peterson etc. would have been better. Sadly they were unavailable. 🙁
My question is, why Sweden each time needs to find an host from UK? This time a drag queen? Aren’t there better english speaking hosts in Sweden? Additionally, they have that funny lady called Lynda Woodruff. Why not her? With a good script, obviously? Sincerely, I don’t understand SVT.
Oh boy!… No? Nooooooo… I never could stand Lynda Woodruff. She is not funny at all. Pitié Pitié Pitié. Please, never again Lynda Woodruff.
Jon’s, I love Jordan Peterson. He was a hero for me for some time. Somehow I can’t imagine him taking up that role but targeting people like him would be a right move by EBU. But the guy is direct and speaks truth so it’s against EBU policies
I think what the “social media era” has proved is that it’s difficult to celebrate diversity without actually showing it.
Relax. You had a couple of drag queens hosting a rather unimportant part of the contest. If you don’t like drag queens, many do. One of them, Tia Koffi, is a big Eurovision fan, so I would rather have them host rather than people who are ignorant of the contest. The artist you see and they are non binary or so exist, and you should respect their existence. Few years ago, what you say about non binary or other identities, people said about gays, so you at least should try be a bit more understanding.
I like drag queens, but those who can improvise and hold a conversation without the ready made questions read from the teleprompter.
Well written x
Gay here too and Amen bro… I have been a Eurovision fan for 40 years and in the last few years I am overwhelmed. The show itself IS every year flashier, faster and circus-er. I have stopped watching all this and just focusing in the show but the show itself is too much. Nowadays Eurovision is a display of lightning, and special digital effects with some background music.
This is the Melfestization of Eurovision. That’s why I believe Sweden shouldn’t rule eurovision for at least 15 to 20 years. That’s why we need less Christer Bjorkman and Martin Osterdahl and more people with a different experience on how to make the show more quality oriented. If the audience will decrease, it will be no problem. The show is becoming like a plastic flower. Fake.
i felt that last year with whole performance dedicated to them specifically because… reasons?… And durig flag parade dragging raibow flags while holding a dinky patch of the country flag, you know, the one that paid for their excoursion to a grand scene ?
So true. Esc follows West decadence…
Very sad that this comment has so many upvotes.
Do people not know that no drag acts feature among the 37 entries, not in the interval acts, and the actual contest will be presented by two non-drag women?
The merest hint of drag and you all start to panic. Run for the hills, people… before you are swallowed up by big bad monsters. Or just hide under your bed until the storm passes. We’ll bring you some nice hot milk.
Jonas, there are also drag queen who can host a show at least listening to what the singer is saying. It seems the drags there were most interested in showcasing themselves than asking questions. It’s not that every aspect of the gay world must be present in order to be accused of being homophobes. If a drag queen doesn’t have other qualities than dress in female suits, do we have to bear him anyway?
In Italy, Drusilla Foer, a drag queen hosted one night of the Sanremo festival in 2022. She was praised by all the press, rightwing included, because of her sense of humour, wittyness, ability to own the stage and cleverness in her question to the singers, the monologue and other occasions. She could have hosted the all the festival by herself without any problem. Or must the drag quota be mandatory by having two talentless drags who are not able to host a funny interaction or to improvise? I believe you exaggerate a little bit here.
I exaggerate?
Okay.
Now read Zipp’s comment again, and tell me if THEY exaggerate.
Don’t need to call me they. I am quite secure and confident in my identity . I said I am gay so you may call me “he”. How ridiculous is to explain the above
I enjoy Elektra and Tia Kofi but they weren’t right for that job and we shouldn’t be having references to poppers in a show like that.
Your comment is unfair & you are overreacting. One thing that did change with the arrival of Martin Osterdahl is that the contest become less gay & less sexualized overall. There was a very visible breath of calvinistic prudeness blown over the contest. The only exception to this I can think of was Chanel. So, since Martin arrived, the contest turned more heterosexual or more respectable, if you prefer. No wait!… I’ve scanned very briefly the list of participants in the last editions while writing this comment. Last year Noa Kirel & Let 3 (Croatia) were also sexualized and also… Read more »
I just this moment got Tia Kofi’s name. Tea or coffee. I’m always slow with these things…
well, if it makes you feel better I did not get it till I read your comment 🙂
Off topic, but are wiwi doing live streams from the dress rehearsals today?
No. You can’t Livestream anything from the venue (officially). No idea if we’ll see anything, or hear anything for that matter. It’s all a bit confusing this year.
Gosh that is sad. It used to be so exciting to watch their reactions before any of us are able to see the performances :((
It’s worse… I had to join social media just to watch clips (the browser based clips are an ass pain). What a cesspool of malcontents. I saw what I wanted (and didn’t want) and deleted my accounts. They are just bad for you. Phew!!!
They said they won’t because it’s not allowed 🙁
I’m going to focus on the positive aspects. 10 days of hand-making went into Nutsa’s (Georgia) outfit, so that’s amazing. Lithuania gets the win on a fashion statement overall. If you can communicate something by just walking into a room, then that’s job done. Speaking of communicating, Denmark’s Saba got this absolutely right: An outfit for peace. Spot on. The most attractive outfit was Italy’s Angelina, obviously. Other trends: Lots of lace going on this year. Plus, there were some attempts to bring patched jeans back. Recycled outfits made some appearances too. Two special notes from me: Iceland – Hera… Read more »
Worst Turquoise Carpet ever!
No excuses: no matter the wheather and/or threatens of terrorist attacks (some of you have written about Putin’s anger now that Sweden has joined NATO. I mean: really???), one entire year is enough to plan, fix and prevent.
By the way: an Opening Ceremony is absolutely fundamental to appropriately enter and fit the mood of an event (the Olympics are a demonstration of this).
Opening ceremonies for the contest are totally unnecessary in my view. A nice bonus at best. Sure, this one sucked, but it was no loss. We never even actually SEE the supposed “ceremony”, just awkward posing and chats on a carpet that leads to nowhere.
The flag parade on the night of the final serves your purpose better.
And this isn’t happening because SVT have decided to scrap that, too….
Jonas, the opening ceremony is a way to connect more the occasional eurovision audience to each singer. The most crazy eurovision fans already knows everything on each singer. But the more standard one expects to know more. Get some glimpses on their life, musical tastes, inspiration for the song, future career. The flag parade is only a fashion catwalk where the singers don’t speak. I think it’s more important the turquoise carpet than the flag parade. Here SVT is killing the turquoise carpet to reduce costs or increasing the importance of the flag parade. But all this is totally wrong… Read more »
Mango served camel and we’re all thankful for it.
Mango is hot, objectively
Okay, we can all agree this red carpet thing was a disaster and those drag queens were terrible and amateurish… but, can we start commenting on those atrocious looks, please?!
I visited Malmö yesterday and was very disappointed. There were flags and banners up in the city but there didn’t seem any excitement and the atmosphere was flat. Eurovision Street reminded me of January – all the Christmas decorations are still up but everyone is gloomy. The park where Eurovillage was large but unfortunately empty. People were being turned away because they had bags, umbrellas etc and not all guests were being told that lockers were available a few blocks away. There was nothing much happening in the park, no buzz or excitement and in fairness no Eurovision vibe. Not… Read more »
Totally different than Turin which hosted a messy but extremely successfull Eurovillage. Full of local people, full of eurofans singing along. Tens (if not hundreds) of thousand of people attending during all the evenings. All the city involved with singers singing around the city and lot of enthousiasm by the citizens of Turin. I have hear most fans from abroad saying they were surprised by the warmth and attendance in comparison with other Eurovillages in other foreign towns.
This is the third time within 11 years ESC has been held within the same 35 km radius (2013, 2024: Malmö, 2014: Copenhagen). No wonder people are not enthusiastic!
Gåte
Using the excuse of the risk of terrorist attacks is the best way to reduce the cost of Eurovision and avoid to be threatened by the Eurofans (more dangerous and organized than real terrorists).
Norway, Georgia and Azerbaijan looked great
I am waiting anxiously the opinion of Poul Riisen. The Super Swedish with a golden sword fighting against those dissers who diss Sweden. Come on my dear, come here to give us the official rant of justifications from SVT.
First of all, M&M were the best on the turqoise carpet ;p
Second, safety is above everything else. No 1 priority 😉 (seriously)
Third, that carpet is a bit unnecessary.
Bra vibrationer från Sverige! :p
Third, better to avoid to give the authorization to burn a Quran 2 days before the red carpet. The threats are not a valid justification to host an awful turquoise carpet ceremony like that one. With long minutes of architectural views (all the same). The cringy questions of the hosts. The lack of a decent script for the hosts. They knew.from days, if not months about the threats, we are on an undeclared war against Putin and SVT seems to have been taken by surprise. Come on. Unless your real intention was to have M&M (the candies) shine and all… Read more »
M&M the best?? Are you Swedish by any chance?
Of course he is. Sometimes you can hear the scratchy noise of his nails do when he is trying to climb on the glass to justify whatever mistake SVT does.
Sweden is a cult, you think… like Scientology or something?
Sure. Okay.
Sweden is not a cult, but they act as if it is.
I am usually the biggest Sweden hater but M&M were without a doubt the best yesterday. The only interview that didn’t feel cringe.
Svt had nothing to do with this. The opening red carpet event has always been an EBU only event. The host broadcaster is busy enough without wasting time and resources on something so inconsequential that is not even broadcast.
Complete nonsense – the 2023 event used BBC OB facilities and was a multi-cam TV quality production. SVT should have watched it for inspiration before they set up a two hundred dollar camera in the corner of an office building. And those ‘presenters’ – good lord, they were the absolute worst….
Can we look at credits somewhere so we know who to blame?
Use of equipment does not equal creative responsibility.
EBU doesn’t have OBVans. They rely on the host broadcaster. Here the problem is there this.opening ceremony was without ideas. You need to put two good hosts ready to improvise when the opportunity is there. Not reading silly questions from the script or the teleprompter. Look at the turquoise carpet in Turin. The hosts were playful with the singers and organized some nice improvised acts also between singers/groups of different countries. The more official part was handled by Corsi/Di Domenico at the beginning of the turquoise carpet. The more crazy part was at the end with the duo Laura Carusino… Read more »
The amount of cringe yesterday. Oh my god. Tia was more or less ok but Elecktra was so awkward with everyone except Marcus and Martinus
Haha I do agree, although it was awkwardly endearing towards the end
Tell me this is made up!
Raiven: My song is about a woman who was accused of witchcraft and she was drowned.
Electra: OMG that’s amazing!
lmao
That was the highlight of the turquoise carpet.
Was it really that bad? I’m scared to watch lol.
Well, don’t blame Sweden for this chaos. Sweden in general is not considered a safe place when it comes to terror threats. And also after joining Nato, Putin is more than happy to cause some kind of trouble as well. Safety first. Enjoy the shows.
Why?
Do you ask questions to yourself? Are you bipolar or double personality?
I wonder if alot of peoole have double personalities themselves. Eurovsion seem so important that they are willing to risk lives IF something would happen. It has been taking alot of rescourses in our country, with police and all. This turqoise carpet is not so important to me. For what? To show some nice clothes and sing a little tune? For me it’s the shows that matter the most.
It’s certain that when a local authority (police or mayor) authorizes a burning of Quran 2 days before the turquoise carpet, there could be the risk of terrorist acts. They should have known that. Additionally, as the event takes place in Malmö and not in Marrakesh, they should have inagined a backup location in case of rain. In Turin it rained, too, but they continued. Hosting internally a turquoise carpet doesn’t mean they have to do it poorly just as SVT just did.
I understand what people think and how double moral everything seem to be. I think burning the Quran is very wrong against the whole islam. But the situation is what it is. Eurovision is NOT everything. So don’t act like it.
There is talk of threats but no source confirms this, where did you get it?
The UK is a founding member of NATO, has been under threat of terrorists for decades, the risk is no greater than in Liverpool 2023, yet somehow – the UK managed to put on an accessible, vibrant and *safe* show and ran without a hitch. Don’t confuse ‘enhanced security’ with ‘let’s spend less money on production’.
Silvester Belt sporting the look I would have really liked for Nemo….oh well.
Best dressed on the turquoise carpet was by far Gåte! Seriously that look looked amazing!!!
Nemo only wears dresses and pink flamingo costumes
I think the issue was is was an ‘entry’ to the carpet with no carpet buzz… Just a priductiin-line of guests… And then cut to scenes of Malmo and… Wait… And again.
Not dissing the interviewers… Not great… But there was no atmosphere to work off of.
As a piece… It was woeful. Thankfully wiwi got some noise and motion in their clips.
I’ll ‘diss’ the interviewers – they were absolutely, utterly terrible.
Tia was ok, Elektra was not good 🙁
The host of the red carpet in the San Marino Outlet Experience in the Uma Voce Per San Marino could have done a much better job than these two. My question is? Are drag queens able to say something else than “It’s awesome!”? And maybe avoid to wear 20cm high shoes and massive wigs to they don’t intimidate the contestants? Hosting a red carpet is not hosting a drag race event at gay pub.
Also, Irol is so hot. Can’t wait for San Marino to host Eurovision
Silvester Belt for sure!
The venue was apparently threatened and so they changed at the last minute. Chaos followed.
Source?
Daddy’s Brown
Denmark was the (possible) statment!
Ban Sweden from hosting ever again. This was a disaster
We all agree on the fact that this Turquoise Carpet was a disaster but they sadly had no other choice. No need to attack Sweden because we all know they are very very good at producing that kind of event and they will certainly show it this week.
Legit forgot about it, lol.
it was indeed a mess, but i don’t blame svt or sweden for that. the current circumstances are not helping them and lot a of their budget is probably focused on security. in fact, hosting esc has become much more challenging since 2021, for many different reasons (pandemic, wars, terror threats, cyberattacks, etc…).
that being said, those two hosts could’ve been better tho.
