Eurovision Song Contest

I don’t mind Myf and Joel but I would love it if we had an option to just mute the commentary and just watch the show. The role of commentators is largely irrelevant nowadays.

I don’t mind the commentary as most countries do it. The main problem for me with the prime time coverage is how it’s made so unnecessarily long with the constant studio filler (and has extra commercial breaks inserted in too). The show is long enough as it is and it just completely ruins the flow. The commentary in the live version from Myf and Joel is more than enough without needing everything else.

The padding out of the prime time show is ridiculous. The broadcast was on for 20 minutes before they got to the first song, and then it was straight to an ad break. And if I hear Joel Creasey make a gag about “Karl Stefanovic” being the host one more time…

And I did tune out a bit towards the end last night but did SBS show the rooftop performances of the past Eurovision winners? I must have missed it, or did it get cut out from the prime time replay?
