2012Eurovision Song Contest2014

TheEurovision Song Contest 2013was the 58th edition of theEurovision Song Contest.It took place inMalmö,Sweden,following the country's victory at the2012 contestwith the song "Euphoria"byLoreen.Organised by theEuropean Broadcasting Union(EBU) and host broadcasterSveriges Television(SVT), the contest was held at theMalmö Arena,and consisted of two semi-finals on 14 and 16 May, and a final on 18 May 2013. The three live shows were presented by Swedish comedian and television presenterPetra Mede,being the first time only one host had presented the show since the1995contest. Former Swedish entrantEric Saadeacted as thegreen roomhost in the final.

Thirty-nine countries participated in the contest, withArmeniareturning after its one-year absence.Bosnia and Herzegovina,Portugal,SlovakiaandTurkeyall ceased their participation for various reasons. Slovakia and Turkey have yet to return to the contest since.

The winner wasDenmarkwith the song "Only Teardrops",performed byEmmelie de Forestand written byLise Cabble,Julia Fabrin Jakobsen and Thomas Stengaard. The song had the highest average score in both the televote and jury vote.Azerbaijan,Ukraine,NorwayandRussiarounded out the top five.

This year marked the reintroduction of the "Parade of Nations", a concept which was first used in the contest from1959to1963(with the exception of1962) before making a one-off return in1983.The concept had also been used, on-and-off, in theJunior Eurovision Song Contestsince2004.It sees all countries performing in the final presenting themselves with their national flags before the contest begins. This year, the contestants entered the main stage by walking across a bridge over the audience. This idea has subsequently continued in every edition of the contest onwards.

The EBU reported that 170 million viewers watched the semi-finals and final of the 2013 edition.

Location

[edit]
Malmö Arena, Malmö – host venue of the 2013 contest.

On 8 July 2012, the Swedish broadcasterSveriges Television(SVT) announced that theMalmö ArenainMalmöwould be the host venue for the 2013 contest. This was the fifth time after1975,1985,1992and2000that the competition was held in Sweden, and the second time that it was held in Malmö, after 1992. SVT had expressed the desire to host the contest at a slightly smaller venue than previous years, as well as smaller environment which is easier to dedicate and decorate for other celebrations and festivities of the event within the host city. These were factors in the choice of the Malmö Arena as the host venue,[3]and Malmö as Sweden'sthird-largest cityby population afterStockholmandGothenburg,the two other initial location-bidders.

The city's proximity to the borders with Denmark and Norway also spilled over into some of the producers' actions. Denmark was eventually allocated to compete in one semi-final and Norway in the other, taking into consideration the number of Danish and Norwegian fans who were likely to travel for the contest, with the arena being relatively small and thus not suitable for accommodating both countries' fans in one semi-final. TheØresund Bridgewas also used as the main artistic medium for the theme of the contest, as an expression of binding cultures.

On the night of the final for the2012 contest,the chief executive ofSVT,Eva Hamilton,stated to the Swedish media that various venues in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö were being considered for hosting the 2013 contest.[4]One alternative put forward in theExpressenwas to hold the competition at three venues – the semi-finals in Gothenburg and Malmö, and the final in Stockholm.[5]This proposal was dismissed as unfeasible by SVT, which declared that the contest would be hosted in only one city.[6]

On 20 June 2012, it was announced that Gothenburg had withdrawn from the bidding process due to the city being the host of theGöteborg Horse Showin late April 2013. There were also concerns about the availability of hotel rooms due to a variety of other events taking place in the same time frame as the Eurovision Song Contest.[7]On 9 July, the executive producer for the 2013 contest,Martin Österdahl,told the Swedish press "that he felt uncomfortable with the decisions and choices made by the countries that had previously hosted the contest", stating that he and SVT wanted the 2013 contest to be "smaller, closer and personal".[3][8]SVT also claimed that theEuropean Broadcasting Union(EBU) also disclosed that the EBU had asked potential future host broadcasters that "there were demands about reducing the scale of the event, given the increased costs of recent editions".[8]

The following candidate cities had provisionally reserved venues and hotel rooms, as part of their bids to host the 2013 contest.[9]On 8 July 2012, the Malmö Arena was confirmed as the host venue for the contest. Malmö Arena is Sweden's fourth-largest indoor arena, afterFriends Arena,Tele2 ArenaandGlobe Arena,all located in Stockholm.

Other countries

[edit]

Active EBU members

[edit]

Active EBU member broadcasters inAndorra,Bosnia and Herzegovina,theCzech Republic,Luxembourg,Monaco,Morocco,Poland,PortugalandSlovakiaconfirmed non-participation prior to the announcement of the participants list by the EBU.[23][24][13][25][26][27][28][29][30][15]TurkishbroadcasterTRTdid the same, citing dissatisfaction with the2009 introduction of a mixed jury/televote voting systemand the status of the "Big Five"rule.[16]

Non-EBU member

[edit]

Liechtensteinerbroadcaster1 FL TVhad been trying to join the EBU since 2010. Director Peter Kölbel had said that due to a lack of financial subsidies from the government, EBU membership participation to participate in the contest would be impossible to obtain until 2013 at the earliest;[31]however, it was later announced that the country would not take part in 2013.[32][33]

Format

[edit]

The combination of televoting and jury voting results underwent changes that were detailed in the official rules for the 2013 contest.[34][35]Each member of a respective nation's jury was required to rank every song, except that of their own country. The voting results from each member of a particular nation's jury were combined to produce an overall ranking from first to last place. Likewise, the televoting results were also interpreted as a full ranking, taking into account the full televoting result rather than just the top ten. The combination of the jury's full ranking and the televote's full ranking produced an overall ranking of all competing entries. The song which scored the highest overall rank received 12 points, while the tenth-best ranked song received 1-point. It was announced in the official Media Handbook that an official app would also be available for voters to vote via during the contest.[36]

Official sponsors of the broadcast were the main Swedish-Finnish telecommunication companyTeliaSonera,and the German cosmetics companySchwarzkopf.[37][38]The competition sponsors were the makeup companyIsaDora cosmetics,the supermarketICAandTetra Pak.[39][40]

TheStockholmbased singer and actressSarah Dawn Fineralso appeared in both semi-finals and the final in sketches as the comic character Lynda Woodruff.[41]"Lynda" presented the votes for Sweden at the previous contest in Baku.[41]Finer also appeared in the final as herself, performing theABBAsong "The Winner Takes It All"before the results were announced.[42]The ex-Swedish footballcaptainZlatan Ibrahimovićwas revealed on 28 April to be part of the opening segment of the Eurovision final, in a pre-recorded message welcoming viewers to Malmö, his home city.[43]The2011Swedish entrantEric Saadewas the host of thegreen roomduring the final.[44]

The draw that determined the semi-final allocation was held on 17 January 2013 at the Malmö City Hall.[45]A draw at the EBU headquarters determined that, due to their geographical proximity with Malmö, Denmark would perform in the first semi-final, while Norway would perform in the second semi-final. This provided a maximum availability of tickets for visitors from both countries.[46]The EBU also allocated Israel to the second semi-final after a request from the delegation in order to avoid complications with a national holiday coinciding with the date of the first semi-final.[47]The remaining participating countries, excluding the automatic finalists (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom), were split into five pots, based on voting patterns from the previous nine years. From these pots, 15 (in addition to Denmark) were allocated to compete in the first semi-final on 14 May 2013 and 15 (in addition to Norway and Israel) were allocated to compete in the second semi-final on 16 May 2013.[48]

The pots were calculated by the televoting partner Digame and were as follows:[47]

Pot 1 Pot 2 Pot 3 Pot 4 Pot 5

Running order

[edit]

Unlike previous years, the running order was not decided by thedrawing of lots,but instead by the producers, with the aim of making the shows more exciting and ensuring that all contestants had a chance to stand out, preventing entries that are too similar cancelling each other out.[46]The decision elicited mixed reactions from both fans of the contest and participating broadcasters.[49][50][51][52]

The running order for the semi-finals was released on 28 March 2013.[53]The running order for the final was determined on 17 May 2013.[54][55]An additional allocation draw occurred for the final with each finalist nation drawing to perform either in the first or second half of the final.[54]The allocation draw for qualifying countries from the semi-finals occurred during the semi-final winners' press conferences following each semi-final, while the allocation draw for theBig Fivecountries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) occurred during their first individual press conferences on 15 May 2013.[54][56]As the host country, the running order position for Sweden in the final was exclusively determined by a draw during the heads of delegation meeting on 18 March 2013.[54]Sweden was drawn to perform 16th in the final.[54]

Graphic design

[edit]
The stage with its movable parts and the audience closely surrounding it during the opening act of the second semi-final

As aforesaid, SVT wanted to make a good use of Malmö Arena's space to highlight the performances and increase the audience's visibility compared to previous years. SVT created a main stage and a smaller stage with higher-lower shifted floors, connected by a trail closely surrounded by a standing crowd from both sides of it and around the small stage. The main stage mobility was expressed as a main artistic medium at the opening act of the second semi-final and with highlighting Moldova's performance towards its finish, as a movable part beneath the singer's dress making her look gradually taller. The small stage mobility highlighted United Kingdom's performance towards its finish, lifted above the close-standing audience.

On 17 January 2013, at the semi-final allocation draw, the EBU revealed the graphic design, created by the Gothenburg-basedbranding agencyHappy F&Bfor the 2013 contest, featuring a butterfly and the slogan "We Are One".[57]The butterfly featured an array of colours and textures, while also representing thebutterfly effectidea.[58]Meanwhile, the slogan "We Are One" highlighted equality and unity of all the participating countries alongside the cultural diversity and influence of each participant.

SVT confirmed on 19 February 2013 that the postcard films, used to introduce each song in the contest, would feature each artist in their respective country, to give the viewer a personal insight of each competing participant. This broke with recent tradition of the postcards often containing short segments of life within either the host city or country of the contest.[59]The postcards were produced by Camp David,[60]the on-air graphics by Broken Doll, and the animation of the butterflies by visual effects studio Swiss International.[61]In addition to the graphic design, there was a theme music for the contest, titled "Wolverine" and composed by Adam Kafe, which was used in the intros and in-between commercial breaks.[62]

National host broadcaster

[edit]

On 11 July 2012, show producerChrister Björkmanadvised the public not to buy tickets for the 2013 contest that are currently in circulation and instead to wait for tickets to be released through official channels. Björkman said that official tickets had not yet been released, as necessary decisions over the stage and seating plans had not yet been made.[63]Björkman also gave reassurance that accommodation would be available, as while the organisers had booked a large quantity of hotel rooms, some may be made available to the general public.[63]On 21 November 2012, SVT officially announced the launch of ticket sales.[64]

On 17 October 2012, executive producerMartin Österdahltold Swedish newspaperDagens Nyheterthat SVT plans for the 2013 contest to have only one presenter for the entire event, unlike in previous years when there were up to three presenters per show. The last time only one presenter hosted the entire contest was in1995,when the solo host wasMary Kennedy.[65][66]Petra Medewas announced as the host of the 2013 contest on 28 January 2013.[2][67]

Incidents

[edit]

Azerbaijan's vote rigging

[edit]

Prior to the finals, the Lithuanian media outlet15minreleased an undercover video suggesting that representatives from Azerbaijan were trying tobribeLithuanians for votes in the televoting.[157]The video detailed the plan, which involved recruiting groups of 10 people each, and supplying them withSIM cardsso they could vote multiple times during the voting window. It was also suggested that similar activity was taking place in a total of 15 countries including Latvia, Estonia, Belarus, Ukraine, Croatia and Switzerland.[158]In response to the allegations, Executive SupervisorJon Ola Sandreaffirmed the contest's commitment to a "fair and transparent result". He stated that while Eurovision organisers were looking into the case, they "[emphasised] that the intention of these individuals have not yet been clarified, and nor has a link been established between the individuals in the video and the Azeri delegation, the Azeri act or the Azeri EBU memberIctimai TV."He added that, since 1998, when he was first involved with the contest," every year there are rumors about irregularities in the voting ".[157]

The EBU later confirmed an attempt of cheating in the contest, which was unsuccessful according to EBU as the EBU's system prevent fraud. According to the EBU, there is no evidence that any broadcaster has been involved in cheating. The rules were changed the next year to ensure that all broadcasters would be responsible for preventing fraud to their advantage or face a three-year suspension if fraud is revealed.[159] However, in May 2015, a member of the contest's Reference Group confirmed that Azerbaijan had cheated, and that it was organized and very expensive.[160]

When Azerbaijan officially awarded no points toDina Garipovaof Russia, despite Garipova having reportedly come second in the country's phone poll, the Azerbaijani PresidentIlham Aliyevordered an inquiry. The Russian Foreign Affairs MinisterSergei Lavrovclaimed that the result had been falsified, and stated that "this outrageous action will not remain without a response". He promised a co-ordinated response with his Azerbaijani counterpartElmar Mammadyarov.Simultaneously, the Belarusian PresidentAlexander Lukashenkoclaimed that his own country having received no points from Russia showed that the result must have been falsified.[161]

Plagiarism allegations

[edit]

Cascada's entry for Germany, "Glorious",was the subject of investigation byNDRfollowing allegations that it was too similar to the2012winner, "Euphoria"byLoreen.[162]NDR spokeswoman Iris Bents played down the allegations, stating that "Every year there are attempts to create scandals around the Eurovision Song Contest and the participants."[163]Following an independent audit, "Glorious" was found not to have plagiarized "Euphoria".[164]

Allegations of plagiarism against the winning Danish entry "Only Teardrops"surfaced afterEric van Tijn,a notable Dutch music producer, mentioned the opening flute solo's similarity to "I Surrender", a 2002 song by the Dutch band K-Otic. However, Van Tijn also stated that the flute solo was the only similarity between the two songs, thus calling it "a storm in a teacup".[165]

Finland's same-sex kiss

[edit]
Finland's contestant Krista Siegfrids kissing one of her backing singers.

The performance of theFinnishentry, "Marry Me",caused controversy in certain more socially conservative countries broadcasting the contest. The act featuredKrista Siegfridsand one of her female backing singers kissing each other at the end, widely labelled in media as Eurovision's first "lesbian kiss". Siegfrids stated to the media that the act was done to encourageFinland to legalise same-sex marriage.It was reported that Turkish and Greek media reacted negatively to Siegfrids' act.[166]According toGay Star News,theTurkishbroadcasterTRT,which had previously decided not to participate itself, initially indicated that it would still broadcast the contest, but made a late decision not to do so.[167]

Eric Saade's green room incident

[edit]

Green room hostEric Saadereferred toPetra Medeas a "MILF"on air during the break between the first and second halves of the voting, saying" Back to you, Petra.#MILF ". When the broadcaster for the United Kingdom,BBCaired this, the sound was lost. It remains unknown whether this was just an accident, or if the BBC did it purposely.[168]While the statement was supposedly scripted andSVTwere aware of Saade's plan, some on social media were confused and offended by the comment.[169]

Other awards

[edit]

In addition to the main winner's trophy, theMarcel Bezençon Awardsand theBarbara Dex Awardwere contested during the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest. TheOGAE,"General Organisation of Eurovision Fans" voting poll also took place before the contest.
