Rehearsals 2016 – The View from San Francisco (Day 5)
The first of two insanely long days of rehearsals took place in Stockholm today, with France and Spain getting their first rehearsal in and all the first semi finalists rehearsing again. Not blogging this in real time, I am allowing myself the freedom of reversing the...
Semi-final 2: The colour analysis
Summary: https://youtu.be/lxONpx3cQ5c In detail: Eurovision stages once were used to give the entries an individual setup. Especially after colour television was invented. This stage doesn't, because obviously, SVT wants to play the gods of fairness and forces every...

Yesterday I began reviewing this year’s rehearsals, and much like the real-life first rehearsals, I found the first round to be very educational. For example, I learned that Europe has many Republics, that I really can’t come up with proper adjectives to describe San...
Rehearsals 2016 – The View from San Francisco (Day 1)
It’s been a good decade since I last attended Eurovision rehearsals, and that decade, apart from making me older than I'd like to admit, also taught me a few things about obsessing about - analyzing, I mean analyzing - rehearsals from a distance. Don't get me wrong:...
