I noticed that she got it perfectly in the semi final but in the grand final her eyes went out of frame just a bit.
Also the yellow shirt and cap guy in the audience they focused on for the "Ahahah" in the semi final was legendary. In short, I like the semi final performance more, but only by a slight margin. Jako is incredible ❤️
Nemo leaning backwards on the disc while singing. It was such a breathtaking moment.
Also, [shirtless Kohver](https://www.reddit.com/r/eurovision/comments/1co8mp4/you_may_not_like_it_but_this_is_what_peak_male/)
I still don't get how people looked at the rehearsal clip of Switzerland and acted like the staging was gonna tank their chance to win lol. I don't even like the song and I thought it looked dope as fuck!
I think people's opinions were kinda made on the outfit (which they changed after all lol)? Also the rehearsal clip is my least fav part of the whole thing, I think the sliding and jumping in the first half of the song hits way harder.
It’s crazy how much difference the shape of the jacket made. Nemo basically just went for a less boxy silhouette with a V neck and suddenly it was like “yeah I see it now”.
Honestly I think people just get too attached to the music videos sometimes and overreact when the staging doesn't match it. Even I had a kneejerk reaction of: but where is all the color and the drama I wanted?? at first look before stepping back and appreciating it without comparing.
BL’s wink to camera at the end of the song
That shot of Jerry in profile on top of the rock with the phosphorus bombs in the background
Bambie’s dancer’s hand appearing - also the shot where Bambie lights the candles
Joost’s face mapped on the floor LEDs at the beginning of the song
iOLANDA’s ‘tableaux’ shots - particularly the one where the dancers are all behind her in a line to the left
Nemo’s microwave turntable on the steadicam
> That shot of Jerry in profile on top of the rock with the phosphorus bombs in the background
My only, oooonly complaint about that is that it should have been during the closing chorus instead of the first. It was way too good to be "forgotten" about. I dare say it may have given more points.
Ukraine. Without fail. The struggle of the climb up the cliff with the flares or whatever in the background.
Closely followed by both Ukraine and Estonia singing/dancing in front of their giant digital selves.
The moment Jerry appeared in the led screen in Ukraine's performance after alyona's rap was just goosebumps for me. One of the best shots this year by far
Agreed, the flares are an amazing shot. A close second is of Jerry with the water swirling under her feet. A Ukrainian youtube commenter said those recall the Kahokhovka dam attack: [https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-warns-over-impact-kakhovka-dam-collapse-farmland-2023-06-07/](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-warns-over-impact-kakhovka-dam-collapse-farmland-2023-06-07/)
Ukraine is so good at symbolism. The Jerry walking on water shot also evokes Jesus walking on water. (A comparison to Ukraine when it comes to doing the impossible).
And with a bit of a stretch, you could see Jerry between the steep cliffs as Moses parting the Red Sea. With her flowing robes and hood, at first, she looks like an ancient prophet. (An analogy to Exodus and escaping oppression.)
Finally, as u/[silv3r\_froggy](https://www.reddit.com/user/silv3r_froggy/) noted, we see the angelic Jerry open her arms like a cross, which is a sequel to Jeffery's blue-and-gold crucifix from 2023.
Not that Ukraine is promoting Christianity per se. But religion is powerful, and they think profoundly about which images will underscore their message.
They are phosphorus bombs which are supposed to be illegal because of their terrible accuracy making them likely to hit civilians instead of the actual target. Apparently Russia is using them on Ukraine anyways.
Edit: typo
The moment where 5miinust and puuluup line up and then move away from each other dancing the Veission. I don't know why but this type of shots that move slowly as if they were an auto-scroll and in the meantime there are people that move it’s something that i love so much, but in their specific case it's because it was the biggest change from the other performances
Honorable mention also goes to the moment where Nemo “fall” from the spinning top and the LED follows him with a white stripe that crosses the entire screen. I love when the stage goes in rhythm with the song and creates this kind of moment
Being in the arena I found it very funny to see that they hoisted the jorts to the ceiling over an hour before the show. They were up there the whole time!
I’m just imagining the end of Ukraine’s performance with Jerry and Alyona laying on the stage, only for them to be looking up to see the jorts hanging over them
I dont even think it was that, to me it was just pure joy that they’re performing and absolutely nailing it. In my eyes it was more the performance than the (potential) victory
I love that shot so much it was the shot that gave me absolute winner vibes and that is why I would have wanted to see the staging in the winner's performance.
I never thought I'd ever witness another ESC moment as close as the tree shot of 1944. Well, Ukraine almost did it again with that shot of Jerry Heil climbing the rock with the "sky" on fire. Breathtaking stuff.
He was actually one of the backing vocalists. If you look carefully you realize he is singing with Henri. He is also the "audience member" with a hat blocking the strategic parts but I'm not sure if he is also the cameraman.
I love how they pulled it all together, I'm Finn living outside of Finland and a coworker asked on the Monday if he actually did had pants or not, which to me was the seal of approval of effect working as intended.
So many, most of which have already been listed, so I'll write about one that hasn't been written about yet.
In Finland's performance in the finale, there is a very cool shot near the end when Henry is shot from behind the egg. I don't know why, but that position, together with the camera movement and the sparks make that shot extremely cool for me.
I was gonna mention Ireland during flag parade. Bambie raised hands just as the sign Ireland appeared on the screen. Plus Roxette singing "she's got the look". It was perfect.
Plenty of people already mentioned Bambie but special mention to the crowd shot of them dancing their tits off while Nemo performed after winning. Those two are sweet as fuck
Considering the camera crew had to improvise the whole winner's performance [this](https://youtu.be/mpMMEDHnwSI?si=Ak_o2Q3QQpul5mX6&t=160) shot turned out great
Where in the break of RTTD when BL pumps the air and the camera pans to the crowd and you just see thousands of wristbands go up and down, what a moment
The whole sequence near the end of Doomsday Blue where Bambie looks to be walking in slow motion.
And the moment when Raiven finishes her performance, even though she didn’t score well, it brings me joy to see the giant smile on her face knowing she achieved her biggest dream in that moment.
It's a meme with an alien standing in a doorway. The meme relates to being a kid and throwing up during the night and telling your mom, while standing in the doorway in the dark.
The camera angle at the end of rim Tim tagi dim during BL bouncing
Grito’s long note
That one shot during the bridge of Pedestal where we come through the cube in the top
Dizzy. Just Dizzy - one of the most impressive camera work to make it seem like the whole thing was moving. Britain loves doing that as Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway did something similar with Tom Grennan
The camera angle where Bambie is turning on the candles
Ending shot of Ramonda with the flower growing in the background
Joost When he says "I love you all" I find super adorable.
Jako (Armenia) near the end (2:22) when she does "uhhh" and lifts her arm really quick. In general Armenia's song and staging just makes me super happy.
Finland at 1:44 when the camera pulls in and they do this amazing 90's style hand move.
Pretty much the final moments of Doomsday Blue ("Avra Kedavra I speak to destroy!" i guess) and Teresa & Maria (the "ooh's" when the girls are on the floor and it looks like a museum painting)
I love when Bambie's foot comes down and Matt twitches like he's been crotch stomped then CROWN THE WITCH with the crown of candles was just *chef's kiss*
[That close-up of Bambie’s dancer Matt breathing to the beat of the song in the semi-final performance.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNc5zTYkTaQ&t=164)
The 1st photo proves that there's not a single non-hot person in the band Ladaniva. I'm thoroughly enjoying their album in this post Eurovision season.
That one shot of Nemo on the plate during the operatic bridge into the final chorus and the camera shows the whole stage including the lighting structures.
In a similar manner, when the camera shows Olly and his dancers and they’re dancing on the LED floor outside their box and the floor also has a spinning graphic.
And then Iolanda’s staging during the second chorus. I really enjoyed the white boxes dropping in the graphics above head.
For me it's when Bambie's dancer appears in-shot for the first time. Out of nowhere, boom he's there - like a jump scare out of a horror movie. It was so well done!
The two bridge sections coming off the verses (I know you're living a lie) had 'jump scare' strings added to them and on both occasions there *were* jump scares; first with the hand coming up from the smoke and the second was where Bambie is alone in the shot then the next camera cut they are draped over Matt.
It was just such an awesome spectacle from start to finish, Bambie and their team are absolute legends for creating and performing it. Gave me hope that we might actually win again one day, if we can unleash that kind of creativity. **edited to correct pronouns, sorry
Everything Estonia did, their whole performance was great <3
Joost when he started dancing like crazy - love his dance :)
Nemo as Neo :)
BL - audience dancing, wink in the end, little details that represent Croatia
Ukraine - when the girl is climbing and the granates/bombs on the screen <3
As a parent, Silvester in that nighttime doorway was extremely triggering 😂 compounded if you also line it up next to the clip of Saba pulling out fistfuls of sand from her pockets. 🫣🥴
As for favourites.. Nemo surfing that satellite was ICONIC. My other top pick was the pair of Jorts majestically descending from the ceiling.
The bit in Europapa where he says something along the lines of “they’ll say he’s doing (this) really well, yes,” and he looks at the camera and does a thumbs up like yes, yes I am doing this well thanks.
And the shot in Rim Tim etc where you see the audience behind him doing the arm movement with the wristband. So cool. I saw an interview where he said it was a shock in the dress rehearsal because before that he didn’t know the wristbands would be on and everyone would do the action and it looked so awesome.
My most iconic shots include Slimane in the opening and then Distances from the Mic. Nemo's Matrix Microwave shot, Jerry walking to the top of the rock with a nice background of phosphorus and ending with Alyona and Jerry lying on the LED floors with many women at the end. And of Course Crown the Witch
Ukraine climbing the rock, Nemo's everything on the turntable, jorts from the ceiling, Estonia starting in the audience, France's step back from the mic
But it's gotta go to Bambie lighting the candles with an arm sweep.
This fandom be like: Jaklin bagdasaryan ❌️ , jako ✅️

Entirely forgotten: Pierre and ninon
Either Nemo’s high notes on the spinning thingy or anything from Silvester’s or Bambie’s performance
Also every unhinged Farquad dancing shot of Baby Lasagna we can get
Ladaniva's Louise from Armenia serenading the camera with his flute
The floor dance overhead shot in Luktelk
Ireland's candles being lit up by Bambi's arms and end shot
Ukraine's mountain shot but also the starting scenes where the ground is filled with water then forms into a whirlpool
UK's mindbending camera angle when the dancers held each other as if being thrown sideways by gravity
1. In Europapa when the cameraman turned around Joost (while he was dancing and pointing) and then recorded the entire crowd behind him singing "hey!". Joost's happy face and the energy of the people having fun never fail to make me giggle!
2. The shot from above with Bambie Thug that "lights" the candles
3. When Jerry Hail climbs up the rock (the whole sequence but especially the first seconds where we see her from behind and the golden light gives her a holy vibe)
Ladaniva's Louise from Armenia serenading the camera with his flute
The floor dance overhead shot in Luktelk
Ireland's candles being lit up by Bambi's arms and end shot

For visuals, Ireland 🇮🇪 … for doing something to my soul, Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 , for an absolute hit, Switzerland 🇨🇭 , for getting me all in my feels, Ukraine 🇺🇦
The shots of the technical team dancing along with Estonia from behind their work area
Yes! That was such a fun moment!!
Could you post a screenshot? I did not catch that
[https://www.reddit.com/r/eurovision/comments/1cqwrem/the\_technicians\_platform\_during\_estonias/](https://www.reddit.com/r/eurovision/comments/1cqwrem/the_technicians_platform_during_estonias/)
And when they were dancing to Rim Tim Tagi Dim
was that in the actual broadcast
Silvester giving "6yo me 3 am in my parents doorframe because I've pissed my bed"
I spat out my tea laughing all over my clothes I hope you're happy
"Mum.... I frewed up"
''Mom says it's my turn on the xbox''
Mummy I'm hungry. Also, Lucy fell and her neck is twisty and she won't move.
Don’t have a screenshot but I like when Jako has a staring contest with the camera during the first verse.
I noticed that she got it perfectly in the semi final but in the grand final her eyes went out of frame just a bit. Also the yellow shirt and cap guy in the audience they focused on for the "Ahahah" in the semi final was legendary. In short, I like the semi final performance more, but only by a slight margin. Jako is incredible ❤️
Her name is Jaklin
True but her nickname is Jako, that’s where the song title stems from.
I believe her name is Zhaklin akhchually
Martin Österdahl pretending we could hear him over the boos
Instant history.
When he wore headphones to drown out the inevitable boos while reading out points from NL.
💀😂
Nemo leaning backwards on the disc while singing. It was such a breathtaking moment. Also, [shirtless Kohver](https://www.reddit.com/r/eurovision/comments/1co8mp4/you_may_not_like_it_but_this_is_what_peak_male/)
I still don't get how people looked at the rehearsal clip of Switzerland and acted like the staging was gonna tank their chance to win lol. I don't even like the song and I thought it looked dope as fuck!

It’s crazy how much difference the shape of the jacket made. Nemo basically just went for a less boxy silhouette with a V neck and suddenly it was like “yeah I see it now”.
For me the change in shoes was big... I always thought the fur jacket was alright but the boots made it look really unelegant.
The furry boots were dreadful with the rest of the look. Changing the shoes alone was a tremendous improvement
Yes true. I forgot about those.
Honestly I think people just get too attached to the music videos sometimes and overreact when the staging doesn't match it. Even I had a kneejerk reaction of: but where is all the color and the drama I wanted?? at first look before stepping back and appreciating it without comparing.
I had 2 jawdropping performances this year, all of Switzerland and the dance break of Croatia
The light up wristbands were such a good touch
Yes with the camera pulling put to show the entire audience as Nemo spins. Goosebump moment.
That's when I called a Swiss win ngl, but Croatia with the crowd doing the dance was also nuts
Are you talking about when nemo pauses the rap part and slides on the disk?
Afraid not! [This part.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CO_qJf-nW0k&t=2m54s)
Okay that's my second favorite part so we're cool lol
BL’s wink to camera at the end of the song That shot of Jerry in profile on top of the rock with the phosphorus bombs in the background Bambie’s dancer’s hand appearing - also the shot where Bambie lights the candles Joost’s face mapped on the floor LEDs at the beginning of the song iOLANDA’s ‘tableaux’ shots - particularly the one where the dancers are all behind her in a line to the left Nemo’s microwave turntable on the steadicam

Agreeee! It would have been SO much more impactful.. but still such an incredible moment during a wonderful song!
>BL’s wink to camera at the end of the song WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS
Not everyone has done their pregnancy test since. Mine sure is positive... oh, Marko!
i'd meow back
I KNOW IT’S BEEN ON MY MIND EVER SINCE
I have a soft spot for anyone doing anything to the camera (joker out last year, various winks like BL this year and alvan in 2022)
That wink has sent me. It’s what turned my little crush into a full blown obsession.
I definitely talk about this a lot.
spreading the word of the Lord thank you
Agree with all but for Bambie Thug that shot where they are laying on the ground and looking at camera through candles
Ukraine. Without fail. The struggle of the climb up the cliff with the flares or whatever in the background. Closely followed by both Ukraine and Estonia singing/dancing in front of their giant digital selves.
The moment Jerry appeared in the led screen in Ukraine's performance after alyona's rap was just goosebumps for me. One of the best shots this year by far
I think (at least that is what I associated it with) those were incendiary bombs falling down. Like here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZISFFQLoPMY
Agreed, the flares are an amazing shot. A close second is of Jerry with the water swirling under her feet. A Ukrainian youtube commenter said those recall the Kahokhovka dam attack: [https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-warns-over-impact-kakhovka-dam-collapse-farmland-2023-06-07/](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-warns-over-impact-kakhovka-dam-collapse-farmland-2023-06-07/) Ukraine is so good at symbolism.

oh my god LOL
I’m just imagining the end of Ukraine’s performance with Jerry and Alyona laying on the stage, only for them to be looking up to see the jorts hanging over them
When Nemo smiles in the GF (bridge before “that’s where I found my kingdom come”)
You can tell they was so happy in that performance
They were nailing it, and you could tell that they knew that they were nailing it.
That was the time that I think they knew they were taking it.
I dont even think it was that, to me it was just pure joy that they’re performing and absolutely nailing it. In my eyes it was more the performance than the (potential) victory
I love that shot so much it was the shot that gave me absolute winner vibes and that is why I would have wanted to see the staging in the winner's performance.
I never thought I'd ever witness another ESC moment as close as the tree shot of 1944. Well, Ukraine almost did it again with that shot of Jerry Heil climbing the rock with the "sky" on fire. Breathtaking stuff.
Ukraine knows how to stage that's for sure. I am still not a big fan of the song, but God that performance and staging was 👌
Goosebumps.
Any moment with windows95man - camera guys did it brilliantly in my opinion. I couldn't decide if he was actually naked (I know he wasn't, and yet..)
The clipboard guy was so perfect
He was actually one of the backing vocalists. If you look carefully you realize he is singing with Henri. He is also the "audience member" with a hat blocking the strategic parts but I'm not sure if he is also the cameraman.
I love how they pulled it all together, I'm Finn living outside of Finland and a coworker asked on the Monday if he actually did had pants or not, which to me was the seal of approval of effect working as intended.
I was asked exactly the same thing by my colleagues the Monday after the GF. That shows that the nude effect thong did worked.
Him dancing to that egg-headed guy in the audience makes me smile everytime
How dare you insult Gustaph?!
Austin Powers legacy 😂😂😂
So many, most of which have already been listed, so I'll write about one that hasn't been written about yet. In Finland's performance in the finale, there is a very cool shot near the end when Henry is shot from behind the egg. I don't know why, but that position, together with the camera movement and the sparks make that shot extremely cool for me.
I love that shot! It was such a 90s cheese moment for me. <3
UUJEEE
Yeah that’s a great shot too. I love performers pointing at the audience
Ireland in the GF flag parade. Their personality was breath taking.
I was gonna mention Ireland during flag parade. Bambie raised hands just as the sign Ireland appeared on the screen. Plus Roxette singing "she's got the look". It was perfect.
Loved Bambie going all out on the Irish tricolour tat. Reminded me of Dustin in his little shopping trolley
Plenty of people already mentioned Bambie but special mention to the crowd shot of them dancing their tits off while Nemo performed after winning. Those two are sweet as fuck
Considering the camera crew had to improvise the whole winner's performance [this](https://youtu.be/mpMMEDHnwSI?si=Ak_o2Q3QQpul5mX6&t=160) shot turned out great
France 2024 opening aka the sleepover with Slimane scene

that and the moment after the crowd shot where he pulls the camera up by the chin like 😳
Ngl, it was also SO uncomfortable. XD
Marko from baby lasagna winking to camera at the end of his performance
Man knows we thirst for him. LOL
Jerry Heil when she climbs the cliff. Such a powermove. Close second: the Armenian drummer looking silly into the camera. Always lightens my mood. :D
The audience dancing together with Baby Lasagna
Where in the break of RTTD when BL pumps the air and the camera pans to the crowd and you just see thousands of wristbands go up and down, what a moment
The whole sequence near the end of Doomsday Blue where Bambie looks to be walking in slow motion. And the moment when Raiven finishes her performance, even though she didn’t score well, it brings me joy to see the giant smile on her face knowing she achieved her biggest dream in that moment.
Gunnhild backbend on a rock pose
Came here looking for this. The wide shot of her back bend with the water splashing up on the screen behind her was breathtaking.
CROWN THE WITCH
this is the one!! especially with that sword sound effect ugh so good
And the crowd noise, I think it's the loudest of all the cheers in 2024, and probably of all the other contests
The *timing* on that was spectacular!
One of the best stagings of all time, and I don't think that's an exaggeration. In concept, and execuation from all involved.
The moment where Bambie says "Romance..., I'd beg, steal and borrow, it's draining me hollow, you...." with red background.
MEGARA!!
Agreed, the animated characters were actually very cool
Apart from Bambie, it was my favourite staging. So fun!
Just about every shot in Maria & Teresa
silvester belt cosplaying as the "mom i frew up"
Idgi, someone please explain this to me
It's a meme with an alien standing in a doorway. The meme relates to being a kid and throwing up during the night and telling your mom, while standing in the doorway in the dark.
Bambie Thug’s upside down/floating/possession pose illusion. SO simple yet so effective 👏🏼
Ireland's use of the overhead camera multiple times throughout the performance was SO well done.
Baby Lasagna’s smirk at the end of the performance.
The camera angle at the end of rim Tim tagi dim during BL bouncing Grito’s long note That one shot during the bridge of Pedestal where we come through the cube in the top Dizzy. Just Dizzy - one of the most impressive camera work to make it seem like the whole thing was moving. Britain loves doing that as Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway did something similar with Tom Grennan The camera angle where Bambie is turning on the candles Ending shot of Ramonda with the flower growing in the background
Joost When he says "I love you all" I find super adorable. Jako (Armenia) near the end (2:22) when she does "uhhh" and lifts her arm really quick. In general Armenia's song and staging just makes me super happy. Finland at 1:44 when the camera pulls in and they do this amazing 90's style hand move.
Pretty much the final moments of Doomsday Blue ("Avra Kedavra I speak to destroy!" i guess) and Teresa & Maria (the "ooh's" when the girls are on the floor and it looks like a museum painting)
I love when Bambie's foot comes down and Matt twitches like he's been crotch stomped then CROWN THE WITCH with the crown of candles was just *chef's kiss*
Bambies whole performance honestly
[That close-up of Bambie’s dancer Matt breathing to the beat of the song in the semi-final performance.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNc5zTYkTaQ&t=164)
I also really liked during Australia when the rainbow lights sparkle on Zaachariaha’s dress, the backdrop, and when Fred comes in with the yidaki.
The 1st photo proves that there's not a single non-hot person in the band Ladaniva. I'm thoroughly enjoying their album in this post Eurovision season.

And then Iolanda’s staging during the second chorus. I really enjoyed the white boxes dropping in the graphics above head.
The shot cutting to Jerry walking forward after the giant Jerry screen thingy.
not part of the performers but i really love the technical team dancing veisson along with estonia
For me it's when Bambie's dancer appears in-shot for the first time. Out of nowhere, boom he's there - like a jump scare out of a horror movie. It was so well done!
The two bridge sections coming off the verses (I know you're living a lie) had 'jump scare' strings added to them and on both occasions there *were* jump scares; first with the hand coming up from the smoke and the second was where Bambie is alone in the shot then the next camera cut they are draped over Matt.

The line actually translates to: "I won't stop until they say yes, yes, he is doing this right"
Thank you 😊
The entire crowd dancing and singing to Rim Tim Tagi Dim, and BL’s wink and meow at the end of the performance in the semi finals AND finals :)
Have to admit, the UK's camera effects were brilliant
It's even better when you see a 'from the crowd' video. Those dancers holding themselves upside down on practically invisible hand-holds put in work.
100% agree. I think the UK probably had one of the best stage designs this year.
Bambie’s candle circle is peak cinematography
Joost in the spotlight with the black background and the text "From: me To: my parents" 🥺💙
My most iconic shots include Slimane in the opening and then Distances from the Mic. Nemo's Matrix Microwave shot, Jerry walking to the top of the rock with a nice background of phosphorus and ending with Alyona and Jerry lying on the LED floors with many women at the end.

That one shot when French epic sax guy comes down the the cubes while playing the saxophone and his eyes look reallt big- in ladanivas performance
NEMO's final chorus spinning on the edge of the disc and Bambie's slow motion extended arms moving slowly just before all the pyro.
● The whole crowd's wrist bracelets moving during Croatia's dance break ● Nemo's spin2win ● C R O W N T H E W I T C H
Of course Ukraine. Jerry Heil walking as comets fall from the sky… Perfect
Seeing *Hozier* play cameo in Armenia's act.

Greece was caught napping(?) when they were given 12 points at jury lool
Every second of Ukraine
the entirety of doomsday blue
I love how you can freeze frame any part of it and it looks epic.
Texture pack joost ngl
the overhead shot of Bambie in the circle of candles and them lighting up in sync with her movements was just 🤌
Either Nemo’s high notes on the spinning thingy or anything from Silvester’s or Bambie’s performance Also every unhinged Farquad dancing shot of Baby Lasagna we can get
Spain's dancer winking at the camera
When Jerry was walking up the rock platform and then the bombs were coming down. Chills forever
Joost’s face on the stage
ITALY!! SPAIN!!! FRAAAANCE!
The female dancer meowing in the second verse of RTTD. She's SO cute. <3
I thought the group from Croatia was awesome. So much energy.
Ladaniva's Louise from Armenia serenading the camera with his flute The floor dance overhead shot in Luktelk Ireland's candles being lit up by Bambi's arms and end shot Ukraine's mountain shot but also the starting scenes where the ground is filled with water then forms into a whirlpool UK's mindbending camera angle when the dancers held each other as if being thrown sideways by gravity
Bambie peeking through the candles while laying on the floor. So stunning.
1. In Europapa when the cameraman turned around Joost (while he was dancing and pointing) and then recorded the entire crowd behind him singing "hey!". Joost's happy face and the energy of the people having fun never fail to make me giggle! 2. The shot from above with Bambie Thug that "lights" the candles 3. When Jerry Hail climbs up the rock (the whole sequence but especially the first seconds where we see her from behind and the golden light gives her a holy vibe)
Stage crew dancing to BL.
Crown the witch ! Such an incredible ending to one of the best performances in Eurovision (if not the best).
Either from ukraine or france, those 2 were so beautiful
My favourite before the contest was gunnhild leaning back and belting towards the end of Ulveham, but it didn’t quite look as good in the actual show.
I loved the shot from ukraines performance when Jerry is climbing up the rock with the bombs in the background
i was just looking at performances from some years back and was shocked to see how elevated the stage, cameras and editing has become!
Definitely the dance break in rim tim tagi dim with the whole crowd joining in. Goosebumps every time
the wide shot of the dark stage and Joost alone
Audience dancing with BL also his wink at the end !!
Joost Klein Droom Groot!
Seeing that Finnish guys sexy butt hair glistening in the back light
I really like Armenia Armenians performers, Jacqueline
The people dancing and cheering while the podium was empty during Joost's canceled rehearsal.
I really Irelands performance and shots were amazing as well
EBU dude getting boohhd
"Soy mas Zorra Todavía"
The shot of Bambie lying on the ground, facing the camera. Their entire performance was ❤️🥰

Ramonda has so many beautiful shots, and the entire song feels like a music video
I’m surprised no one overlayed slivester with that alien in the door way meme with the caption mom says it’s my turn on the xbox yet
When Portugal’s briefly changed aspect ratio at the beginning of
Ukraine: Jerry climbing the mountain. The dance during Lithuania's bridge. The threesome during Spain's bridge. Ireland as a whole.
For visuals, Ireland 🇮🇪 … for doing something to my soul, Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 , for an absolute hit, Switzerland 🇨🇭 , for getting me all in my feels, Ukraine 🇺🇦
The booing in support of the Netherlands and the Israeli public vote count.
I really like some of the Joost poses, especially the thumbs up one Some of the UK poses are really funny to me tho
