So they have decided SWEDEN (not EBU) will CHOOSE the running order instead of random draw next year. Wtf... Oh and forcing Denmark and Norway to go in separate semis.

I think someone wants us to qualify... but it's rather absurd to have a country decide this...

I think they put the good songs in 1 semi and than the good songs of Norway, Iceland, Finland, Denmark and NL in 1 semi with bad ones.

I don't like the idea that much. They should leave it random. It's unfair for the 2004-2012 participants. Some great songs would've reach the final if they were in a worse/better spot/more neighborhood voting semi.

to be honest I'm not against this xD

the winner coming from the end of the show all the time could reflect 1)short attention spans 2)the show is too lengthy and too many countries are in the final. so making the show more entertaining could assist. also it encourages countries to actually send something that could stand out despite it's draw. in otherwords send something that could actually win instead of the same old same old just to be in the contest.


either that or change the semi and final format all together to make smaller pools of songs then the draw becomes less of a factor.

but the draw shouldn't be decided by the host country (what if some corrupt country wins and determines the order)

Eurovision fans to be a focal point in Malmö

Stockholm, Sweden - The fans will be more involved in Eurovision Song Contest than ever before according to SVT, the organisers of next year’s competition. We reveal ideas for achieving this as well as plans for a world class Press Centre, located right next to the Malmö Arena.

When the Eurovision Song Contest comes to Malmö. Sweden wants to create an experience that in turn creates a lasting impression. The fans will be able to get closer to the stage and the artists, and maybe also have a role to play in the TV show. “The fans own the floor”, says the executive producer Martin Österdahl.

At the heart of the Swedish plans for the 2013 edition of Europe’s favourite TV show are plans to reduce the distance. Martin Österdahl has in previous articles at Eurovision.tv explained the wish to create a stronger relationship to the competition’s countries and artists. However, it is just as important for the organisers to reduce the barriers for the audience.

"The fans are culture bearers"
Martin Österdahl believes that the fans belong to the event’s most important group. Now he and his team want to ignite the spark, making the public an active part of the discussion surrounding the programme and to encourage interaction with the organisers and each other.

"We want to draw attention to the fans and involve them. One of our core values is that we want to create a passion that lasts. It is largely the fans that write our closing chapter. They are culture bearers and important when it comes to passing on our version of Eurovision”, he says.

He highlights a series of measures that are planned in order for the fans to have a good experience.

"It is important that we have a dialog with them regarding tickets and accommodation before the event. They also have an important role to play in the festivities in the town, for example in Folkets Park but also in connection with the Opening Party”.

The fan’s biggest role is, however, to be involved in the TV show. Here, Martin Österdahl reveals that Sweden wants to take a new approach.

"The fans own the floor. They will be able to get closer to the stage and get closer to the artists so we are looking at ways of making the fans more involved in the scenography than ever before. With their flags they serve as an extension of the stage but maybe we can also find other solutions so that they can gain access to something that it is possible to project onto or light up, for example the LED element”.

Preview shows and internet initiatives
The scope to reach out with our message is limited in the programme. With the internet and other platforms there are bigger opportunities to give the viewers some prior knowledge and to encourage a curiosity surrounding the artists and countries.

"Here in Sweden we have a big website and a preview programme each year where we go through each of the entries. Not all countries embrace the show on the same scale”, says Martin Österdahl

Plans for the perfect press centre
A large group that visits the Eurovision Song Contest every year are the thousands of journalists and journalistically active fans.

"We want to provide a good environment for them to do their job. The press centre will be located in the Malmömässan, right next to the Malmö Arena and will have a covered walkway to the arena. The room is huge, a fantastic newly constructed exhibition hall”, says Martin Österdahl.

"The proximity and logistics will be better than anything I have seen during my seven Eurovision visits. It will be a proper building with real restaurants and decent spaces, walls and chairs. No tents”.

New technology
Even when it comes to new media we want to be ground breaking.

"We are looking at digital solutions for serving the journalists and delegations with information regarding rehearsal times, meal times, transport times, information for those visiting Malmö and anything else they require during the event», says Martin Österdahl.

"We want the journalists to feel that they are being noticed and know that we are prepared for all eventualities. There will be an intelligent, warm hand leading them through the event”.

Next time we will look at how SVT plan to use new recruits to provide key support for the Eurovision Song Contest.

wow that was vague.

sounds like there will be great coverage this year though without the technical and apparently food problems of Baku.

so what are they saying? more flags waving in front of the acts so we can't see the act. lighting up fans as an LED effect? what is that supposed to mean? and why bother? i don't want to see the fans. :P

I don't know what the heck they're thinking.... I want a proper show for god's sake.. not some fans mooning the camera or whatever they're doing I don't think it's very good for promotional purposes. Because the thing is with stereotypes and ESC: they're mostly true!!!! And they're mostly not what the general audience wants to see! Speaking of inte bara bögarnas fest :rolleyes:
