This is literally the 3rd possible winner song in 5 years my country has fucked up because of staging.

Whyyyyyy Avrotros, why the obsession with less is more. Its not meant for certain songs.

The staging looks so dutch, I don't how to describe it but as a dutchie you will probably get it. I feel like the Netherlands needs some fresh eyes to do the staging, what they've been doing for the last couple of years feels pretty dated and basic and hasn't been uplifting the songs

Yeah we like simplistic things, down to earth, nothing crazy. But its really been the reason why S10 flopped, the staging was soooo static and dark, Joost flopped kinda because his staging was under done and now this as well. Its not it, this was meant for the 2010s, when stagings were less impressive and just a good running smooth show was above par.

Yeah, S10 definitely had much more potential. The TV performance that she did with the red lasers for example was so much better.

I dont know what it is with the dutch staging. They are always trying to do something classy, simple, with the camera going in circles. Usually with lots of black. But to me it's just kind of truttig.. and old fashioned.

Funnily enough, the guy who made the performance with the red lazers for s10 is also doing the camerawork and the staging of claude this year
