- Come with me inside the Pala Olimpico to see the Eurovision 2022 Grand Final (jury show) from the audience. You will see how the crew sets up the stage for each participant and how the acts look from the stands.
If you want to watch the full performances check out my channel! - Hudba
I wasn't even aware that they turned the whole prop around during the performance of Armenia. I'd just assumed that the audience didn't see most of the performance until she tore off the paper door.
Watch it again, rotation is quite visible.
See, I assumed that as well, because Armenia’s performance didn’t interest me in the slightest.
@@sationaswell your head will explode of how hard the volume is
and the beginning of Armenia is with the room to the audience spinned it and then the amazing ending
I LOVE the stage crew dancing and playing around at the end with Norway song hahaha
29:18 two cameramans just filming each othe on stage🤣👍🏽
21:20 I didn't realise that Sam's ship opened with human power. I thought it was hydraulic or pneumatic.
It’s been a dream of mine to go see eurovision live for 19 YEARS (I’m 26 so that’s practically my whole life), and when I finally did this year, it was better than anything I expected! Especially because people there take this very seriously and everyone is a eurovision lover from the heart.
The things I was most surprised at:
1-When the artists first come out during postcards, crowd goes the wildest. So when you watch the stream, you miss the loudest part actually.
2- It’s really fast, and actually the crew come and kind of push everyone on stage once the camera goes off, because the people on stage don’t really know when it happens.
3-During some songs (like switzerland this year) the screens at the top of the arena says: PHONE LIGHTS ON
4-This may be about 2022 specifically, but we actually saw almost all of the show, even the parts with green screen / gimmicks.
So I hope everyone who dreams to be at Eurovision one day, can. Because it really is better than expected, doesn‘t matter what you expect. And it's all thanks to he people!
I was there too. It was amazing!
Respect to everyone who worked so hard to make this fabulous show go smoothly.
Smoothly???
@@fg-re6yb For a live show of that magnitude, yes!
Lol what?
Lmao
Maybe it’s because I have friends that work in theater and television, but wow is there a lot of moving parts to make this show happen so seamlessly! Here people were complaining about the multidimensional sun thing being a problem and I’m watching this video and seeing various other types of intricate light set ups that are being used, some being brought down from the ceiling, along with the soundware, the continuous waterfall, the various cameras and gear, the stage hands moving in and out of hidden doors in the LED wall, etc, etc, etc and my only thought is “Wow! It’s really amazing more didn’t have problems!” And to be fair according to the EBU it was just the sun thingy moved too slow (which watching it when it moved versus some of the other pieces they’re using it does appear to be slower). And seeing how fast the stage crew move to get things setup between songs honestly they’d probably have been better at moving it than making it mechanical (but the idea is still neat). It really was a great live show to watch on tv and it looks like they make sure the live audience has quite the experience as well! That’s a lot to put into a tv show that only airs thrice in one week and then it’s done! Very impressive and makes me realize why I consider this the best thing on tv each year! It also all looks very expensive and so I’m starting to understand that line from the opening number of 2016 sung by Petra and Mans: “as we bankrupt the hosting station.” There’s a part of me that thinks the head of Eurovision could sound like the dude from Jurassic Park: “spared no expense.” LOL Also I’ll admit that when watching at home I thought the heart during Mika’s performance was CGI’d in. To see that it was really there I think says two things 1) CGI has really improved since I was younger that my first thought is they did that yet it’s real instead of thinking its real and wondering how they did it and 2) that’s yet another set of small things that could’ve gone wrong but didn’t.
Thanks for sharing this video! I love seeing the behind the scenes, etc, of things like this. It’s mostly out of curiosity on my part as I just like seeing how the magic is done and all the people that make it happen. Also, you had amazing seats! Were they expensive? I mean seats at that location at a concert here in the US would definitely cost a lot (and you definitely aren’t getting any LED screens/stages and cool moving lights, etc....unless it’s a Kpop concert and only if the venue is capable of supporting it).
I noticed a lot of mistakes with the direction this year, you saw a lot of camera people in the picture or that they went to the wrong camera. rotterdam last year was the best production in my opinion
@@gerbildral Judging by production, Sweden 2016 was by far the best. Extremely good camera work, interval acts and hosts etc. Rotterdam was also extremely good. Clearly best 2 years!
Thank you for the comment. Despite many complaining, especially from The Nederlands and The Nordics, the production, despite a few mistakes, was good. There has been an enormous effort from RAI to make a world level production. Mistakes can happen. The heart was real. It was an inflated baloon hidden into a trap on the floor of the secondary front stage. I have seen inflate it and deflate it "live" in the family show of saturday afternoon. It was hard to deflate it and put it back into the trap. They had to lift it again a couple of times in order to store it again to be in the right position for the evening show. Despite all this, it was seamless for the TV audience, until it was shown. One strange thing is why the kept the side with the big M of Mika opposite to the audience. I don't understand. Regarding production, the lights were incredible. 4000 automated spots. The light designer and director of photography, Mario Catapano, is the same of Sanremo Festival. Yes, there were some mistakes from the multicam directors. It's strange because Duccio Forzano has directed the best Sanremos, visually speaking, without faults. Maybe the problem was there was 2 multicam directors for the final working together, and sometimes having two giving orders is not good. Additionally the cameramen crew was mixed italian and ukrainian (for the special cameras) and the two directors were mainly speaking italian to the cameramen, and in english to the Ukrainian ones, when needed. But, compared to the infamous 1991, RAI has put all efforts to create a wonderful show and TV production. The biggest and more complex TV production (with the except of sport events) ever organized in Italy by RAI. You can understand the enormous difficulty and complexity of such a show only by watching it live in the arena, while most of the critical comments come from people sitting on the couch at home. Seing it live makes you thing it's a miracle to have a show without faults or defects, considering its complexity, the hundreds of people who have to interact to make it work, running on the stage, moving cameras and props. The stage was big and the steadycamers had to run like crazy to escape after each shot, carrying 40 kg of gear.
@@alfredhedlund4894 Hosts in Turin were good. Of course, it's an easy game to compare Petra Mede, which is an icon by herself, to anybody else. I wish Italy could have Petra Mede, too (and she loves Italy, BTW). I believe the hosts were nice, funny and, even if they made a few mistakes, notably the Holland/Poland from Mika and the porca vacca by Pausini, which was intentional, btw, they were pleasant and charming.
@@gerbildral You're wrong, the public hated your show and at the end they gave you zero 0 vote. They aren't satisfied and the flag parade without actual flag waving on the air, the hosts were like talking statues with fake smiles. The show is live to be aired, so its must be alive hosts and audience.
Czech Republic blew the roof off
If the sun rotates this could have been one of the best stages to date, from the pictures and videos of the stand in rehearsals when it was working
Its very clever how before or after performances with big staging, they put a part where the hosts talk so there is time to set it all up or put it all away
This should be official ESC content!
Sin duda Chanel levanto al público. La mejor
Those lights from the ceiling are heaven sent, and really removed the solar eclipse at least for a short time
0:48 Those spinning light rigs are freaky
I could feel the panic from that guy when one part of the UK's staging didn't light up.
wait when did that happen
6:03 "boooring" "no I liked it!" LMAO
Hahah thats what i was saying also watching from tv 🤣 sorry but this year was not good songs in final
this is the video I was looking for! Thank you for existing! 😍😍
Despite the trouble with the kinetic sun, everything else was absolute spectacular! 🤩🤩
What a great video! It lets us all see the efficient job those guys did while setting up things for the following song, keep up the good work guys and thanks for posting this video!
Thanks so much for posting this. It is a bucket list item for me to one day attend a live show. This is beyond cool to see the inner workings to stage what we enjoy at home. Amazing feat to get so many acts on and off the stage seamless with breathtaking moments through! Love from South Africa!
Thank you very much for uploading. Had no idea about all the logistics around the show. That is crazy.
This is great to see, thank you.
I wish I was there to feel all this awesomeness.
Incredible well done job
It's been a year ago and I can't still looking at the broken kinetic sun 🤣
Amazing video thanks(L)
Has someone else noticed that they put up the giant heart during Mika's medley the wrong way? The "M" was supposed to face the audience but was only visible from the stage.
I assume it's intentional as this video is from the dress rehearsal, so if it was a mistake they made the same mistake on both the rehearsal and the live show
@@alexsutton7163 The German channel of the Eurovision Song Contest mentioned in one of their videos that the "M" was supposed to face the audience. It also wouldn't make sense to put the letter on the heart if the audience couldn't see it. I assume that deflated heart was firmly attached with the wrong side to some mounting that would fit in only the one way and changes would have taken to long. Kind of how they realized too late that the kinetic sun could not be used as intended because it would take too long the reposition it between the acts.
@@chriswald7700 or maybe they just changed their mind about the M and they turned the heart...
I was there during the final, and I Cana sure you that the M was the right way, because most of the crowd was not on the part that you say should have been the correct one, but is one the sides of the arena, and the choice of putting the heart in that way is to make the m visible for the most people possible
@@alessandrocarrabba5459 Sorry to contradict you. The "M" was facing the stage and that's not where the majority were. I would rather guess that on the left and on the right there were about 15% of the audience that attended the Pala Olympic, Also it doesn't make no sense at all that the "M" was not visible for the millions of viewers that were watching the show on TV (as this video proves).
Wow, such a different perspective! Always wanted to go, but this says watch it on TV from the sofa to me 😆
I can confirm that: I always wanted to go there too and this year my wish came true and we went to the Grand Final. After spending a lot of money for the tickets and to travel to Turin the sound quality in the PalaOlimpico was very poor - the baselines were way too loud, the singing voices were too much down, we couldn't understand the hosts - the staging is made for the tv cameras, and we had two guys next to us who were chatting constantly with each other during the whole show. On top of that I got Covid.
@@chriswald7700 OMG….that’s enough to put me off for life! Hope you got over the covid and enjoy next year from the comfort of your sofa 😊
@@gigteevee6118 Thank you. I got over covid and next I'm planning to invite friends over to watch the show via my projector like we did it in the years before. 😀
@@chriswald7700 I’ve also got a projector! Best way to immerse into Eurovision 😍
@@chriswald7700 sorry but that made me laugh sm sjdnsmsnsbss
18:38
The man literally picked up the mic stand and forgot to put it down.
On TV is soooooooo much betterrrr
These were the tests not the final
I have gotten the post Eurovision blues....
I'm still pissed about the dead sun, it sounded so good on paper but it just ended up ruining all the amazing visuals on the ledwall behind. Regardless, it was so cool attending. I still have to process it took place in my city this year 😂 it's so surreal
I've seen people mentioning that. Would you be kind enough to explain what it is?
@@PowerSpirit50 it's a long story 😂but basically the big dark semicircle in the center of the stage was supposed to represent the sun, the stage is the land and the waterfall rapresents the many seas that surround Italy. This was how the stage was conceptualized. The sun would've been the "big thing" because it was supposed to morph during each act. It was composed of 7 rotating concentric rings each independent of each other that would rotate 180 degrees to show one side, or every configuration in-between. On one side (the one that we got) there were plain lights, on the other there were LEDs that acted like another ledwall. This way each delegation could choose what to have, maybe lights for more upbeat songs and the ledwall for when showing visuals was more important, or even a change mid act so you could have both. Unfortunately when rehearsals started rumors spread about the rotating mechanism being "broken" and "unfixable in time for the shows", and that a decision was made to keep it fixed for all acts on the lights side. It would only partially rotate during interval acts in order to not break it further, and you can see it in action at 28:25. Delegations got comprehensibly upset because the ones that relied on the rotation had to change their staging with very little notice. Unfortunately we never got an official statement on what happened exactly so there's been speculation that it was never broken in the first place but just slow to turn, and that the EBU forced Rai to keep it still because having to wait 2 minuted between each stage change was simply too much time. Now, if that's the case then it's just mind boggling to me how this whole thing was handled. Didn't Rai know the postcards were only 45 seconds long? Were they hoping the EBU would allow them to get longer? Was this whole thing badly engineered and they tried to cover it up till the last minute? Who knows. It probably didn't influence much of the shows in the end, but the sad thing is that people who watched on TV and didn't follow all the drama had no idea about what that thing was supposed to be, they probably thought it was intentional to make all acts dark with no ledwall and such. I've even heard some people saying they thought it was a big vinyl 😂
@@LightJockey Thank you for such a detailed answer :D I thought it was just something to make the stage look unique. The 'it being slow' theory makes sense, it's big and probably has alot of wiring and lights that could go out.
Mamma mia che palle che siete con sto sole. Già è tanto che l'eurovision si sia tenuto da noi, poi è stato un bellissimo spettacolo sia dal vivo che in tv, un bel momento di spensieratezza. Il resto sono polemiche del cavolo
@@cassydi8624 Molto educato da parte tua cambiare lingua in un thread completamente in inglese 👍🏻 potresti elaborare su quel "già è tanto si sia tenuto da noi"? Non ero io quello che spalava merda? Perché questo pregiudizio? Fosse per me potremmo farlo tutti gli anni, abbiamo tutte le capacità tecniche, economiche, artistiche, per ospitarlo annualmente, ma quando si fa una cappellata non penso che la soluzione migliore sia far finta di niente, mi sembra un atteggiamento molto infantile. Io personalmente, e forse sarà proprio perché la tecnologia dello spettacolo è la mia passione, non mi sarei accontentato di una soluzione così superficiale come quella che è stata adottata, anche per rispetto di tutti quelli che ci hanno lavorato per mesi. Ovviamente rimane la mia parola che vale meno di zero, ma sarò pur libero di esprimerla. Come già scritto in precedenza, sono rimasto comunque contentissimo che si sia tenuto da noi e lo spettacolo me lo sono goduto alla grande ugualmente. Poi oh, felicissimo anche di non essere nei panni della Rai e dei suoi dirigenti che hanno dovuto far fronte alle spese di qualcosa che si è rivelato essere completamente inutile. Rimango con la speranza che quando toccherà di nuovo a noi ospitarlo possa non essere un plebiscito di "italians can't host Eurovision", perché che ti piaccia o meno queste cose influenzano l'opinione pubblica e inevitabilmente anche i voti
11:38 so funny hearing the people in the background trying to sing along with the Dutch lyrics 😂
They changed the voting countdown!

You can tell spaniards are around the person with the camera because not only do they know all the spanish lyrics by heart in romania's song and spains', but they also speak spanish to each other during downtime :)
Check Republic💞
Where's Portugal?
Massive respect to the crew but jeez I really wished they wiped the floor between each performer like last year, it looks so dirty
Here Laura sings Cantare in a higher key than in the official video I suppose the video's pitch has been changed.
No, I don't think she does.
This looks... So expensive
Laura's quick changes tho
I got so distracted by the different costumes used by Mahmood and Blanco xD
Why were they playing Norway’s song at the end
Before the live shows they of course have rehearsals, two of which you can buy cheaper tickets to (jury and family shows). This was the jury show, on the night before the live one. They rehearse also the voting with fake results and therefore crown a fake winner
@@eurovisionvisuals oh ok thank you
@@eurovisionvisuals Rehearse the voting, how? Did the audience who attended the jury show get to vote or how did they pick Norway? Also, what is the family show?
They just pick random results and announce them. It would be cool if they let the audience vote, but that's not how it's done sadly.
The jury shows take place the night before the live, and as the name suggest are the shows that the juries watch to decide the votes they'll later cast on the live show. The family show is on the afternoon of the broadcast, it's just the last rehearsal before the live.
@@eurovisionvisuals the funny thing is that last year it was norway as well 🤣
Why were they booing by 25:30?
When they announced Måneskin as the next act everybody was excited (25:06) but instead the stand-ins showed up (25:16) and most of the audience got pissed. Cattelan had to intervene and specify that they weren't the real ones (25:32) but people continued booing. The hosts should have said it clearly before the act.
@@eurovisionvisuals But, why there weren't real? I mean, why Maneskin wasn't there?
@@Qrzychu02 Damiano was hurt, so they broadcasted a rehearsal and the stand-in danced on the stage
@@eurovisionvisuals I was at the Grand Final Family Swow and there were stand-ins... But at least Gigliola Cinquetti made her rehearsal!
@23:14 Konstracta !!! J'adooooooooore !!! I dig her !!!
Czech Republic must have gave u epilepsy
Found the boo's for the dancers filling in for Maneskin really disrespectfull tbh?
25:26 those poor guys being booed on for a minute straight
I noticed that too. Do you know why?
@@RadcliffeAsu Because everyone expected the real Maneskin to perform but they weren't there so some stand-ins did the performance (Maneskin was only there at the live show)
The production is so bad this year they didn't even think about the visibility from half the arena. That crane was literally blocking everything i would've been so pissed
You are right, I was so happy to have managed to get tickets for the first row of seats but once there I was a little disappointed to see that the stage floor was almost higher than the first rows. The crane was not always in the way but very annoying at times. Not a completely bad view but just a few rows higher (for the same price!) would have been so much better. Also, only the last sector on either side near the stage was in Cat2. I was lucky to be on its very edge, but people just a meter to my right paid a lot more for basically the same view since from there all the way around it was considered Cat1. It was worse at the front of the venue as those in the lower rows had most of their view blocked from the green room. It felt like the seating plan was the default one for other small events in the venue. These spots should have been definitely sold as limited visibility for cheaper prices. It was an amazing experience anyway but a bit more attention from the organizers wouldn't have hurt.
@@eurovisionvisuals Im sorry for the awful production this year but im glad to hear that u still had fun regardless, im sure I would've been too annoyed to have fun myself
whatever, 2022 is branded a phenomenal show, acquired the most-watched breaking all records, so stop spreading bad comments and you're sounding a real loser.
It was the worst ESC ever, and the hosts are not singing live but lip-syncing.
@@queercastlimburg worst mind thinking
Israel deserve to be in final too
Why are people booing at 25:29?
Because during that act everybody was expecting Måneskin. But they didn’t come to the rehearsal in the afternoon. So everybody (yes me too, i was there) started booing because we were disapointed not to see Måneskin perform.
Fan fact! It seems like this Eurovision was actually filmed by Ukrainian company
As all the Eurovisions from 2017. The Opertec company from Kyiv provides special cameras like spidercam, technocranes and rail cams. Such cameras are all operated remotely and moved by Ukrainians by the same company. All the other normal cameras have been provided by NEP from The Nederlands and Sweden but are operated by italian cameramen from RAI or freelance hired for the ESC only.
iets wat je nooit ziet

Something was not right with Måneskin's performance.

Great show but a shit flag parade
Sad that a bad song won otherwise it was great show
it wasn't bad. was it the best, maybe not (its subjective), but it wasn't bad.
@@---oi5zi well not everything is absolute. a decent song can be disliked, but imo with most things that are valued based on some criteria also have an objective value that could be boosted or lowered by subjective opinion. like i dont like any of taylor swift songs but can admit that most of them are decent from a (pop)musical perspective and wouldn't call them bad.
like with art there are plenty of paintings you may dislike or feel indifferent but are objectively well made.
hopefully it made sense, im not very good with words.
This has to be one of the most frustrating watches on all of CZcams. Stop cutting before the song begins, I'm watching the setup...
Most redundant tv event. Definitely not a competition.
@Koby Cossins Probably in relation to the fact that political causes seemingly come first and not the quality of the songs.
