I can fully understand the Armenia 2016, Loreen, France 2021 and maybe the Sweden 2022 choices (still only Loreen would finally make my top10). What about Marie N 2002 though, the staging that donated the prize to Latvia??? For me the top10 should also contain Portugal 1971, Spain 1969, Poland 1994, Italy 1984, Italy 1987, Spain 2013, Estonia 2018 and Australia 2016. I could also think about Ukraine 2007 besides the fact that I hate the song, I hate the attitude and I generally hate the whole feeling of it. But they nailed it right on the spot. Really, how can an all time top include songs from the last 10-12 years only??? It'd be also nice to watch the top10 worst stagings then.

Holy crap, that was insanely well put. 12 pts to JB!

gay rights became like a signal of how progressive a state is. and for some years this got votes and support, it helped some states get better results. so, a lot of states made more of a point of showing support and from a well-meaning and important thing it became a competition of who is the loudest about it, who is the most "in your face", who has a more marginalized identity etc. now people are tired of it because it is too much sometimes.

"There's someone sliding up and down the ceiling."

You should have made this with the final performance,it was much better then semifinal you are using here

it was so much fun to watch it live! they did a great job with this one. village- chainmail outfits were brilliant: they tell you about Croatia, about the song, are cool looking and very original. this was my favorite this year.

I liked how they changed the aspect ratio for the instrumental "rim tim tagi dim" bits, made it feel cinematic and intense

Agree! my favourite this year :-) Meow

What a great review and compliment to @BabyLasagna and his team. After all, it’s the details that make a show enjoyable or forgettable…

Very nice to hear the thoughts and ideas of a professional. About the Rembrandt light.. etc. Many shots really looked like classical museum paintings. High class staging and choreography.

Genious staging and choreography

Thanks for the wonderful analysis 🥰

baby lasagna is definitely the best, the song and styling are superb, thanks to the audience for recognizing a good song and putting it in first place by televoting.❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

Thank you for clearing the whole thing up for me) I don't hate this whole entry - Luna is cute, and the song isn't the best, but okay. And I Iowkey love the entire aesthetic because chess in space reminds me of the 80's and vaporwave stuff I like (even the song Tower has some new wave inspiration). But there was something off with the performance that I couldn't get exactly. The stage was overstuffed for sure, and... she didn't try to sell her song or herself. Luna was selling her stage, and this is not how you do it if you want to win Eurovision or to get qualified, at least. Luna is cute and unusual singer, she doesn't look like a typical pop girl. But she didn't have enough energy to provide on stage. So, it's nothing surprising to me she didn't qualify. Also, I'd like to hear an analysis of the Belgium stage this year (Before The Party's Over), they say it was bad as well and tanked the whole entry. Again, I can't get what exactly went wrong but I feel something's off with it. Thank you for your work and sharing with your experience)

Jan, your amazing love for everyone has made me a fan. I wonder if you watched a full video of the performance taken from the audience (specifically, from the front a little to the side, fairly close to the stage)? The point of the video was to highlight the boo-ing, but what I noticed was the choreography. From that single cam perspective, I was blown away. At one point, my brain was even fooled into thinking "did the video just go into slo-mo?" until I realized the absurdity of that thought. It was just the dancers were THAT good

I agree with most of your comments and also many from the people joining this discussion - so, I'm going to add something which seems it hasn't been covered yet (well, I haven't come across it yet) which is this: All this dark into dark silhouettes = no real contrast...seem to me like an effort to hide or camouflage something?! - dare to say some dancers with odd sizes were probably viewed as a problem by someone? I'm aware Angelina deliberately opted for using unusually sized dancers (let's say, not perfect) as a statement - and proudly so...but maybe someone else (maybe the choreographer) secretly objected this idea and managed to impose his own ways - and in doing so, suppressing Angelina's ideas?! (too many cooks spoiled the broth...). If a bold statement was to be made...it should have been enhanced not covered (my view)....in the end everything in this performance has been muffled and compromised - including Angelina's stage presence. It's not the first time....Italy has some serious work to do in order to improve it's staging - take example from Ukraine or Ireland...or, if unsure keep it simple (Sanremo's staging was perfect in my view).

Were is hurricane in your list? Do you like the staging? I see your video about the details in the staging

Love to Israel. She is the best

I totally agree with you. Singing should be a basic requirement, considering this is a song contest and its credibility will be affected, otherwise. Sadly, it seems like we're part of the minority and many people are okay with this resurgence of joke entries, and so are the delegations of certain countries for allowing this type of entries in their selection process

Ì heartly disagree that what's important is that the show be fun I hope Eurovision won't be reduced to a joke. Eurovision is not a comic, it's a tv show based on the song contest format and the quality of the musical aspects is what makes its character imo. And yes, music is part of the entertainment industry and it s undeniable that comics, fun elements are entertaining in a certain context, but not here. The idea behind Eurovision was to connect people of different European countries through music by the creation of a song contest like the Italian Sanremo Festival and nobody would even dream of taking part in Sanremo not being at the best of their ability, just for fun, because it's a comperition, every contestant is under the spotlight, judged by both the jurys but also the audience and the music industry in general and what they do and how they do it leaves a mark for their career. There have been darker years in Sanremo festival too, when all tv shows were in playback and among contestants only few were really good and having a serious career, fortunately nowadays everything is back to 100% live even though the effort to have a live orchestra is huge which I honestly don t think is realistic for Eurovision but the singing is the soul of a song contest, its quality is essential to the credibility of the show or it will become just a circus clownesque representation. IMO.

there were a lot of good vocalists this year. But the songs were unmemorable, the performance was funny and actually in some situations on the border of basic culture. It is not ok to turn Eurovision into a holiday of only one group, even if they are the best vocalists in the world. Too many participating countries are leaving. Some boundaries must be set. No one is talking about the quality of the vocals of those participants, but about the scene or what they are talking about, who they represent, how to address them, and the like. As for the Eurovision winner, the winner is the one whose song survives for a year with equal audience attention, equal recognition and story. A winner whose song no one listens to is not ok, a winner whose song no one sings is not ok. A performer can have the best vocalist in the world and a bad song. How to solve it. This topic should be repeated in January 2025, when it will be clearer what happened to the songs.

Thank you. It was very insightful

One of the main reasons I loved Eurovision so much for many years is the fact that the vocals were live. So I am dissapointed about what's happening. I wish they would go back to ALL live vocals (lead and backings) It would be even more amazing if there were also facilities to make live instruments on stage possible. Nice video once again, Jan 😄

Wow thank you for this video. This is one of the best I've seen here. You are a genius !

TBH still I watch ESC every year mainly for music, not for controversies or show. And this year I'm happy that something actually good has won. However, sometimes I feel I'm watching the same contest every year, especially when I can see the 2,138-th iteration of Eleni Foureira vibe or so. At this point I miss old good ESC contests, where juries decided the winners, where was orchestra, and the stage was one-size-fits-all with modest amount of effects, forcing the artists to make the show with their own voices or choreography.

Czechia consistently sends some of my favorite artists and songs. I don't really care about the results, I love them

Croatia delegation what you wait….you should do the same you don’t lose nothing only ebu lose money

Hello Vsauce 3.0

As all these are from the last 12 years, I'm curious what your top10 stagings of the 00's, 90's, 80's &c. Are

I think who decided the performance, I'm talking about RAI and Angelina's mqnagement, really sabotaged her with their choices. Before the event I was sure she was top 3 material (just because it was really hard imo to beat Nemo and Baby Lasagna), La noia is not the kind of songs I usually listen to however at Sanremo Angelina, which I didn't know before, won me over with her attitude her positive energy and stage presence you really wished to join her and dance off all the bad dark moments of your life just like she was singing she would do, I'm sorry to say none of these things were replicatex on Esc stage. The staging although beautiful required long camera angles ( I hope it's clear what I mean because I don't know technical terms) and rarely focused on her frame favouring the choreo, nothing was enhancing Angelina or ths song meaning which even if supported by a fun danceable rythm has a philisophic and introspective topic and should suggest an intimate moment of acceptance of ones troubles rejoycing about life no matter what. Instead the chosen representation looked more like a party song and was flattening Angelina's personality, and while she was engaging in the choreo she even had few singing uncertainties (which are so unusual for her). We Italians are often criticized for not been able to do good stagings (at Eurovision) and my opinion is that this year Rai wanted to show off a bit and Angelina's management were obsessed in filling up the bigger stage, these two factors "distracted" them from what was imho Angelina's uniqueness, her personality and energy on stage, something distinctive, not a choreo or a staging everyone else can do and something imho the should have focused on.

The song and her whole performance is simply a masterpiece. Not to mention her voice which is out of this world. And even the most stage experienced artist would not have been able to give such a perfect performance vocally and visually in front of such an audience of ignorant and brainwashed haters who shouting at them throughout the all performance. Not even J. Lo and Beyonce.

Thanks for an engaging and insightful analysis of this performance. The opening, where Eden was in that impossible position was a reference to the dead body of Shani Louk. She was murdered by Hamas terrorists, thrown in the back of a truck and paraded around Gaza.

If Czechia will withdraw, I will be super sad. Czechia became my favorite country in eurovision, they keep sending bangers every single year yet they rarely get rewarded for it like they deserve... I hope Czechia will stay, and get their first win soon...

Jan, what a shame you even went there. You have already lost a lot of subscribers to your channel. You have gone down a dark path. Good luck to you.

I don't think it was the best staging but in my opinion, it was the most effective. the focus was the song itself and everything was to support it. lighting was beautiful and I like the use of colors. I wonder what it looks like from the audience, it was very clearly made for the cameras and might look kind of empty for people who are there.

I became a eurovision fan watching the shows as a kid with my mom and grandmom. As a teenager fell "out of love" and came back years later. There is no problem with the gay aspect . there is a problem with the sexualization of the show. Kids should be exposed to diversity but not to adults nudity. Hopfully the null points from the public to the U.K will mean something to the artists thogh i doubt it.

Maybe next time you could film walking and talking at a park!! Are you in Prague? Christer Bjørkman has said time and time again that Mello is a family show. We ( my husband and I ) have been to many a Mellofest and the amount of kids is amazing. Sweden doesn't need ESC jr. In fact Christer has asked the broadcaster multipule times for funding but the answer is no. Norway has stopped MGPjr. and Denmark always has DMGP jr. a week after the main show and they don't send the junior winner to the main event! I am not a fan of Junior ESC ,but that is another topic and time. As for the LGBT+ , yes the fan base is very gay and without the gays, I question the future of the contest. That being said, Pride is a great wasy to discuss and celebrate and fight for LGBT+ issues , not a flag or neon sign on the ESC stage. Maybe the European Union should crack down on violations against the queers in Romania, Bulgaria , Hungary and the Baltics. Russia is a much greater threat to these countries than anyone with a rainbow flag. A city is a city when it has a tram/ trolley system!!

Thank you 🥰😍

I am a thorough supporter of Czech in ESC, even though it doesn’t cut through there much (CT usually does own language content) and I have roots there, but given their hard work and in the worlds of Dadis and Baby Lasagnas, I want them to have their best moment ever sooner rather than later.

❤ thank you for your brilliant analysis ❤

❤🙏

This is exactly the kind of video I needed! Hurricane's staging doesn't get out of my mind.

This channel rules.

Israel truly delivered with the staging. I loved the choreography so much and the symbolism.

The best song of this Eurosong, the jury ignored it because of politics, and the purpose of the jury is to evaluate only the song and the performance, according to which it was proven that the jury is not competent to judge, but should be left to the audience to choose the winner.
