0_o .... Why are people talking about lip-syncing, in a competition where this is absolutely prohibited. It's not chance that some may manage to do something like this during the show. All instruments are playback, it's a known ESC rule, but all the voices you hear must be live.
--------------------

Anyway, this clip is from yesterday. From a street parade in the Norwegian capital Oslo, people celebrating the victory, playing the winner song "Fairytale" in the streets. People on the balcony at 1:09, is the Norwegian king and queen.

A beautiful day ^^

^That's the best part for the winning country, seeing people go crazy when the winner comes home. It's always huge!

Seriously. I have never heard anyone accuse ESC of that or read about it anywhere. It's doesn't make sense. If anyone lipped anything, the tabloids would go crazy over it like they do over the smallest things in Eurovision.

I was pretty stunned when I read that here o_o

This was probably my favourite Eurovision so far. I've only been watching it since 2003 anyway. I only disliked about, 5 songs? I would've preferred an Iceland/Estonia or even Turkey win, but Norway's song was winner worthy imo.

The best winner ever is still Helena Paparizou though.

Ill have to come back to the playback issue again...Do people really take the rules seriously? Theres a rule to have a maximum of 6 people on stage, many acts break it, theres a rule to have no backing voices from playback, most break it and theres the rule to have no playback singing, some break it, I'll try to show it with videos...
This one is the most obvious rule-breaking i saw when browsing youtube a few minutes ago, im too lazy to rewatch all performances though, this guy from greece breaks the backings rule
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLY_o...eature=related
He has male and female backings and 4 dancers, so if the backings are playback, he broke the no-backings-playback rule, if they are live and the singers hide somewhere(unlikely xD) he broke the 6 persons rule^^

that should show all the people with the rules-thing that the rules arent taken serious at all, I have no idea if he sings live(you cant sing on such a mic without really strong mic noises and i cant hear mic noises, but i cant hear much anyway because youtube quality is poor, so i wont make a statement about him singing playback)

^Ehum no.. they are 6... And yes the rules are superserious.

noidea · #**186** 20th May 2009, 07:52 PM

^ Youre writing nonsense, or I just dont understand it, if there are 4 or 5 dancers doesnt make a difference, the backings are a broken rule

MissElin_ · #**187** 20th May 2009, 07:58 PM

^Simply, he didnt break any rule. He sang live like all the other ones and there where a total of 6 persons on the stage.

noidea · #**188** 20th May 2009, 08:03 PM

You didn't read my post properly, Eurovision has a rule as well saying that ONLY INSTRUMENTS are allowed to be playback, background-vocals are NO INSTRUMENTS, but he has male and female background vocals and thats forbidden

**zoomzoom** · #**189** 20th May 2009, 08:11 PM

^Oh come on, how can you not see them wearing microphones on their head? You can even see them singing.

MissElin_ · #**190** 20th May 2009, 08:13 PM

^Yes I did read your post. Didnt you notice that the two female dancers had head mics too?

#**191** 20th May 2009, 08:13 PM

noidea stop being so srz biznezz about playback.

OMG IS THAT A PARADE?

MissElin_ · #**192** 20th May 2009, 08:15 PM

^Yeah it was a parade. But you know Norway always have parades on May 17th since its their national day. The thing with this year is that they won (on the night) on May 17th and they kind of celebrated both things at th same day. ^^

MissElin_ · #**194** 20th May 2009, 08:24 PM

^Then the thought "what about the one they never showed but did stand at the far right" could have hit you...
