As I am an American and unfamiliar with the Eurovision song contest, could someone explain to me how it works so I can contribute here? Is it similar to American Idol over here? | ||
| Howard Wilde (Woodworm)
New member Username: Woodworm Post Number: 332 Registered: 3-2006 |
BeccaAnn: certainly! It's much older than American Idol, which I think is like our Pop Idol in the UK. In the Eurovision, each country of Europe chooses a song (they are usually tacky and rather awful pop tunes) and there is one big night each year when the songs are played back-to-back, followed by a live judging by juries from all the countries. The only restriction is that you can't vote for your own country. The winning country gets to host the following year's event. For some reason, Israel is in the contest though it isn't in Europe. This year the winners were masked monster rockers from Finland. Of course I am still baffled by the puzzle. | ||

By inteerupted transmission, I mean did the transmission actually stop at some point during the proceedings? Or did the picture being seen be the viewers become distorted (as would be caused for instance by bad weather)? Did a cameraman (? or someone else in the staff?) trip over the flowers? Did the vase become knocked over or smashed at any point? | ||

Did the vase of flowers play any point in the interrupted transmission? Or is it just that the station with the flowers in view was the one which was interrupted? | ||

i'll rephrase Did the vase of flowers in some way contribute to the interruption of transmission? If the vase had been present, but without flowers or water, would the interruption still have been likely? If the flowers had been present, but in a holder securely fixed to the wall rather than a vase, would the incident still have been likely? | ||

Were the flowers shown as an intermission during the break in normal transmission? Just before the break in transmission, did the two people see the same programme (although on different channels), i.e. it would be clear to both men and anyone else watching these two channels, the scores attained by each act? Did the break in transmission come before all the votes had been collected? Before any of the votes had been collected? After all the votes had been collected? Before all the acts had been heard? Were the ones watching merely viewers? Or competition judges? Or bookmakers? | ||

Presumably, at the time of the break, some scores were in and therefore the two viewers would have an idea of the ranking of the countries at that point?

Hmmm... gonna stick in some made up details to get the story clear. Interrupt me if I go wrong Mike is in Estonia, cheering on his national side in the Eurovision Song Contest. Rick is in Latvia doing the same for his entry. At 10pm, when some (but not all) votes are in, the Latvian transmission is interrupted, and they show a vase of flowers instead, presumably under the impression people wouldn't mind (or notice much difference ). At this point in time, Estonia are in the lead, and they go on to win. Rick is unaware at the time that Estonia have won. For some reason, he thinks Lavia may win? Ok so far? | ||

Did the interrupted transmission becomes so because the station airing the event thought it was all but over and switched to regularly scheduled programming? It makes me think of an issue with an American Football game in the 60's. The NBC network airing the game assuming it was over because there was only about a minute left to play. They switched over to the made-for-TV movie "Heidi", and the team that was down (the Oakland Raiders I think) made an unbelieveable comeback. Of course, all anyone saw on network television was some silly girl in the mountains. When you mentioned the flowers and the whole situation in general, that makes me think of the whole NFL thing. | ||

So there are two people, Mike and Rick, both watching the Eurovision contest. They are from two different countries, with a strong rivalry (in something other then Eurovision.) Each is a supporter of their own country's entrant. The transmission one (let's say Rick) received was interrupted, and for a while, all he saw was the image of a vase with flowers in it. However, Rick wasn't in any country that participates in the contest. Was he, therefore watching via satellite feed in a third country? The US? Canada? | ||

During the voting it became obvious Israel was going to win,at which point they cut back to the flowers until the contest finished. Official Lebanese and Syrian news broadcasts stated that the winners were Belgium(I believe) who actually finished 2nd. | ||

Very Good! I confess to being something of a fan of the Eurovision Song contest, though I stress purely for the humour, politics and bizarre nature of the contest rather than the quality of the music (Lordi...) |
