Austria obv

... Yes. YESSSSSSS.

 

[evilpigking]

Austrian livestream is available again, here:
http://tvthek.orf.at/live/Eurovision-Song-Contest-2016/12693577

For those who speak German, there's a bit of a retrospect on Eurovision up until it starts at 9 PM.

Is there a reason to do the Austrian stream over the main one? Other than video quality perhaps

 

[oti]

Yeah, I personally really like J'ai Cherche but, live it's underwhelming.

I want to see Australia win, not just cause I'm Australian, but, I also want to see the reaction and the fallout. I wonder where in Europe we'd hold it...

Germany.

 

[Deft Beck]

How did Heroes win last year? Such a boring song. I bet it was the lightshow.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Here we go again.

Still feeling the loss of San Marino.

 

[Peru]

Let's doooo this

 

[obin_gam]

Livestream HD on the Youtube channel is up now
Kinda interesting how directed the audience is by the speaker

 

[DrM]

Is there a youtube stream?

EDIT: Found it

 

[Spyware]

Was watching on SVT last semi since the horrible Edward af Sillén isn't the swedish commentator this year. Gave up on the swedish stream last year after hearing his usual mean and frankly disgusting "jokes". But either Lotta Bromé is the same kind of horrible person or Edward is writing the whole thing for her because it's all just the same mean stuff. The latter is probably true since he's the director and screenwriter for Melodifestivalen and swedish Eurovision stuff since some years now.

When you don't think the jokes are funny, blame him. He sucks. He has some moments but usually it's the same kinda stuff.

Usually some interval acts (like the "documentary" this year) are made by people involved in stand up or swedish comedy/drama movies, so I tend to like them more than the stuff the hosts do.

I hope the YT stream is as good as SVT's this year too because I can't stand that shitty commentary.

And here it is again

The youtube stream doesnt have any narration, so it instead becomes artistic when all the different songs are introduced

ya switched to that one since quality is better than eurovision.tv's with it's weird app. I can deal with the extra random commentary over the top

 

[MightGoThere]

[ShinRPGamer]

[Deft Beck]

Georgia & Ukraine.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

[DECK'ARD]

Please don't.

 

[oti]

Petra should moderate every ESC.

 

[MrBigBoy]

That's one way to explain Eurovison.

 

[laoni]

This musical. I can't

 

[T.O.P]

[magnificenz]

*cringe*

 

[Quonny]

Honestly I prefer this to 80% of the acts from Tuesday.

 

[FortuneFaded]

If I was watching Eurovision for the first time, I would most be wondering why the presenters are not acting like humans.

 

[Joni]

The new winner!

 

[T.O.P]

Honestly I prefer this to 80% of the acts from Tuesday.

Pretty much, hoping for a better showcase tonight

 

[Jasup]

Eurovision is just so so beautiful

 

[oti]

This is terrible.

I love it.

 

[MrBigBoy]

[BewareTheBatsie]

YAKKO'S NATIONS OF THE WORLD

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Honestly I prefer this to 80% of the acts from Tuesday.

Got to agree. Maybe not 80% of the acts but this certainly beats more than half of tuesdays acts.

 

[MrBigBoy]

They should have kept this for the grand finals.

 

[oti]

Syrtaki > Riverdance

Grand finals get Justin Timberlake instead.

The My Lovely Horse method worked too well. Now we can't win it when we want to.
