Ever since the unfortunate cancellation of Eurovision 2020, song contest organisers have required broadcasters to film backup performances in case an act can’t make it to the stage in May. Now, the EBU is releasing almost all of the Live-On-Tape recordings for Turin 2022.
The recordings are being released on the official Eurovision channel across a period of 10 days and the publication schedule is following the semi-final running orders. Today, Tuesday 21 June, we’re getting more songs from semi-final two — Estonia’s Stefan and Romania’s wrs.
The Live-On-Tape performance from Poland’s Ochman has also been officially uploaded. Though, the Polish delegation had previously shared this themselves a few weeks ago.

What do you think of the Live On Tapes? Which is your favourite from today’s batch? Let us know down below.
So Armenian video will Not be seen, so Broadcaster has withdrawn it?
It’s too bad we won’t get too see Georgia’s L-O-T. I really liked that one.
The only thing I find particularly interesting/hopeful is that Romania being one of the countries allowing its live-on-tape to be released, which even countries with no bone to pick with the EBU like the Netherlands, Norway, and Australia weren’t comfortable doing, seems at least somewhat reassuring in regards to Romania sticking around next year. One can only hope…
Agreed, I also think the Romanians might have wanted to show what their staging SHOULD have looked like in Turin with the words rightly prominent in the background. I can see how they lost those points.
