2022  Eurovision Song Contest  2024

The Eurovision Song Contest 2023 was the 67th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It took place in Liverpool, United Kingdom, as Ukraine, the winner of the 2022 contest with the song "Stefania" by Kalush Orchestra, was unable to host the event due to the Russian invasion of the country. It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) acting as host broadcaster on behalf of the Public Broadcasting Company of Ukraine (UA:PBC). The contest was held at Liverpool Arena, and consisted of two semi-finals on 9 and 11 May and a final on 13 May 2023. The three live shows were presented by British singer Alesha Dixon, British actress Hannah Waddingham, and Ukrainian singer Julia Sanina, with Irish television presenter Graham Norton joining for the final.

Thirty-seven countries participated in the contest, three fewer than in 2022. Bulgaria, Montenegro, and North Macedonia opted not to participate, primarily due to the economic impact of the global energy crisis. [1] [2]

The winner was Sweden with the song "Tattoo", performed by Loreen and written by her with Jimmy Thörnfeldt, Jimmy Jansson, Moa Carlebecker, Peter Boström, and Thomas G:son. Finland, Israel, Italy, and Norway completed the top five. Sweden won the combined vote and jury vote, and came second to Finland in the televote. Loreen became the second performer to win the contest twice, after Irish singer Johnny Logan; it was also the seventh win for Sweden, tying Ireland's record for the most Eurovision victories.

The EBU reported that the contest had a television audience of 162 million viewers in 38 European markets, an increase of a million viewers from the previous edition. A total of 15.6 million viewers watched the contest online on YouTube and TikTok. [3] [4] The broadcast of the contest won the British Academy Television Award for Best Live Event, and Waddingham was nominated for the British Academy Television Award for Best Entertainment Performance.

The 2023 contest was held in Liverpool, United Kingdom. It was the ninth time that the United Kingdom had hosted the contest, having previously done so in 1960, 1963, 1968, 1972, 1974, 1977, 1982, and 1998. [5] [6] The selected venue was the 11,000-seat Liverpool Arena, a multi-purpose indoor arena located in the ACC Liverpool complex. [7] The "Turquoise Carpet" event, where the contestants and their delegations were presented before accredited press and fans, took place outside the Walker Art Gallery on 7 May 2023, followed by the Opening Ceremony at St George's Hall. [8] [9]

In conjunction with the contest, Liverpool held a cultural festival called "EuroFest", which featured collaborations between British and Ukrainian artists. [10] [11] [12] The Pier Head was the location of the Eurovision Village, where a stage hosted performances by Ukrainian artists, local artists, current and previous Eurovision entrants, and other groups. [13] It also held screenings of the three live shows. [14] [15] [16] Entry to the Village was free of charge except during the final. [17] [18] [19] The EuroClub, which took place at Camp and Furnace, hosted the official after-parties and private performances by contest participants. [20] [21]

Host country selection

The 2022 contest was won by Ukraine with the song "Stefania" by Kalush Orchestra, which, according to Eurovision tradition, made Ukraine the presumptive host of the 2023 contest. [22] [23] The country had hosted the contest twice before, in 2005 and 2017, both times in Kyiv. Between May and June 2022, the Ukrainian government and UA:PBC, the nation's public broadcaster, discussed hosting the contest with the EBU. [24] The chairman of UA:PBC, Mykola Chernotytskyi  [ uk ], Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and other Ukrainian politicians expressed their willingness to host the event, and an organising committee was formed. [25] [26] [27] [28] [29]

Despite this, the EBU announced on 17 June 2022 that the Russian invasion of Ukraine meant that UA:PBC could not give the security and operations guarantees required to host the contest, and that the event could therefore not be held in Ukraine. [30] The EBU then entered discussions with the BBC, the 2022 runner-up, and on 25 July announced that the 2023 contest would be hosted in the United Kingdom. [31] It was the first time since 1980 that the contest was not hosted by the previous year's winning country. [32]

The decision not to host in Ukraine was initially met with disappointment. UA:PBC published a statement in which Chernotytskyi requested further talks with the EBU, and Oleh Psiuk of Kalush Orchestra published an open letter criticising the decision, co-signed by Ukraine's previous Eurovision winners, Ruslana and Jamala, as well as Ukraine's minister of culture Oleksandr Tkachenko. [33] [34] [35] This stance was supported by Boris Johnson, who was the British prime minister at the time, Nadine Dorries, who was the British culture secretary at the time, the Polish broadcaster Telewizja Polska , and Poland's deputy prime minister and minister of culture Piotr Gliński. [36] [37] [38] [39] The announcement on 25 July that the BBC would host the contest was supported by UA:PBC. [31]

Host city bidding phase

The host city bidding process ran from 25 July to 7 October 2022, with candidates judged against a set of criteria to demonstrate that they could host an event on the scale of the Eurovision Song Contest. [40] [41] During the first stage of the process, the BBC received expressions of interest from 20 UK cities and towns, seven of which were longlisted on 12 August 2022: Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, and Sheffield. [42] These cities had until 8 September to develop their bids in detail for evaluation by the BBC, which also conducted visits to the cities throughout the month. [43] [44] On 27 September, Glasgow and Liverpool were announced to have made the shortlist, [45] and on 7 October, the EBU and the BBC announced Liverpool as the host city. [7] [46]

Participating countries

Eurovision Song Contest 2023 Participation summaries by country

Eligibility for potential participation in the Eurovision Song Contest requires a national broadcaster with active EBU membership capable of receiving the contest via the Eurovision network and broadcasting it live nationwide. The EBU issued an invitation to participate in the contest to all active members. Associate member Australia did not need an invitation for the 2023 contest, as it had previously been granted permission to participate until at least this year. [80]

On 20 October 2022, the EBU announced that 37 countries would participate in the 2023 contest the lowest number of participating countries in a single edition since 2014  with Bulgaria, Montenegro and North Macedonia, which had participated in the 2022 contest, opting not to participate in 2023 for financial reasons. [81] This was also the first contest where the Czech Republic participated under its shortened English name of Czechia. [82] [83]

Returning artists

The contest featured four representatives who also previously performed as lead vocalists for the same country. Two of them had competed in 2012: Loreen won that year's contest representing Sweden, [122] while Pasha Parfeni represented Moldova that year and later provided backing vocals for Aliona Moon in 2013. [123] Also returning as lead artists were Marco Mengoni, who had represented Italy in 2013, [124] and Monika Linkytė, who had represented Lithuania in 2015 alongside Vaidas Baumila. [125] In addition, Belgium's Gustaph had previously provided backing vocals for Sennek in 2018 and Hooverphonic in 2021, [126] and Georgia's Iru had won the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2011 as a member of Candy. [127]

Other countries

Several EBU member broadcasters made statements confirming non-participation prior to the publication of the official 2023 participants list. The management board of Bulgarian broadcaster BNT, at a meeting on 7 September 2022, decided not to participate in the 2023 contest, citing an expected increase in participation fees; [128] this was later publicly confirmed in several Bulgarian news outlets on 19 October. [129] [130] The Montenegrin broadcaster RTCG and the Macedonian broadcaster MRT also publicly confirmed on 13 and 14 October 2022 respectively that they would not participate in the contest, citing financial contraints. [131] [132] [133] Both RTCG and MRT however confirmed their intentions to broadcast the 2023 contest. [134] [135] Active EBU member broadcasters in Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Luxembourg and Slovakia also confirmed non-participation prior to the announcement of the participants list by the EBU. [136] [137] [138] [139]

A potential return for Monaco to the contest in 2023 in what would have been its first participation since 2006  was first discussed in November 2021, when it was reported that part of the Monégasque state budget had been reserved for participation in the 2023 contest. [140] However, these plans were curtailed due to the delay in the launch of a new Monégasque public television channel, TVMonaco, which commenced broadcasts in September 2023 instead of the initially outlined period of late 2022. [141] [142] Monaco Media Diffusion, the current EBU member broadcaster for Monaco, subsequently confirmed on 5 September 2022 that the country would not participate in the 2023 event. [143]

Discussions were also reported between the EBU and Kazakh broadcaster Khabar Agency, an associate member of the EBU, which would have led to Kazakhstan being invited to participate in the contest for the first time. Kazakhstan has participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest since 2018, with television producer Zhan Mukanov stating that "there is every chance [for Kazakhstan] to enter the adult Eurovision next year" and that the country's participation in the 2022 Junior contest would have a "significant impact" on its chances of debuting in the adult event. [144] The country, however, did not appear on the final list of participants. [81]

Production

The Eurovision Song Contest 2023 was produced by the British national broadcaster British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). The Ukrainian public broadcaster UA:PBC worked with the BBC to develop and implement Ukrainian elements for the live shows, including theme artwork, background music, selection of presenters, and opening and interval acts. [145] [146] The three shows were produced by BBC Studios Entertainment Productions and BBC Studios Music Productions, part of the BBC's commercial subsidiary BBC Studios. [147]

The senior production team consisted of Martin Green as managing director, Rachel Ashdown as lead commissioner, Andrew Cartmell as executive producer, Lee Smithurst as head of show, Twan van de Nieuwenhuijzen as head of contest, and James O'Brien as executive in charge of production. [148] Additional production personnel included multi-camera directors Nikki Parsons, Richard Valentine and Ollie Bartlett, lead creative director Dan Shipton, music director Kojo Samuel, stage designer Julio Himede, head of sound Robert Edwards, and lighting designer Tim Routledge. The Ukrainian consultation team was led by Oksana Skybinska, Tetiana Semenova, and Herman Nenov  [ ru ]. [147] Background music for the shows was composed by Mykhailo Nekrasov. [149]

The budget was contributed to by Liverpool City Council and the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (£ 2 million each), the British government (£10 million), and the BBC (£8 million to £17 million). [150] [151] The overall budget was not made public, but was estimated to be at around £24.7 million ( 28.3 million), including expenditures by the host city. [152] [153] [154]

On 7 October 2022, along with the host city announcement, the EBU revealed the generic logo for the 2023 contest. [155] The Eurovision heart, which typically has the flag of the host country placed in its centre, contained the Ukrainian flag for this year to reflect the country's win the previous year. The 'Song Contest' text was accompanied below by 'United Kingdom' and further down by 'Liverpool 2023'. [46]

The theme art and slogan for the contest, "United by Music", was unveiled on 31 January 2023. [156] Designed by London-based brand consultancy Superunion and Ukrainian production company Starlight Media, the artwork was built around a string of two-dimensional hearts resembling an electrocardiogram, representing response to rhythm and sound, while the colours were inspired by those of the Ukrainian and British flags. The typeface, Penny Lane, was inspired by 20th-century Liverpool street signs and the city's musical heritage. [157] [158] [159] "United by Music" was subsequently adopted as the permanent slogan for Eurovision.

Stage design

The stage design for the 2023 contest was revealed on 2 February 2023. [160] Designed by New York-based set designer Julio Himede, the design was based on "the principles of togetherness, celebration and community", taking inspiration from a wide hug and the "cultural aspects and similarities between Ukraine, the UK and specifically Liverpool". The stage is 450 square metres, with 220 square metres of independently rotating LED screens, over 700 LED floor tiles and more than 1500 metres of LED lights. [161] King Charles III and Queen Camilla (whose coronations were held the week before the contest) inaugurated the stage on 26 April, during an official visit to Liverpool. [162]

Postcards

The "postcards" were 40-second video introductions shown on television whilst the stage is being prepared for the next entry. Filmed between February and April 2023 and directed by Tom Cook, with Carlo Massarella and Jane McGoldrick serving as executive producers, the postcards were based on the "United by Music" theme of the contest. Making use of 360° drone technology, each postcard began in a selected location in Ukraine, then one in the United Kingdom, before moving to the artist's country of origin, where the artist took part in an activity of their choice. The three locations appearing in each postcard were connected by a singular theme. [163] Each postcard was bookended with the "little planet effect", which symbolised the interconnections between people. [164] The postcards were produced by London-based production company Windfall Films and Ukrainian production company 23/32, with background music composed by Dmytro Shurov. [165] [166] The following locations were used for each participating country:

Vocal rules

For the third year in a row, delegations had the option to use pre-recorded backing vocals, though each delegation could still use live backing singers—whether on or off stage—or a combination of live and recorded backing vocals. However, all lead vocals and lead dubs performing the melody of the song must still be live. [168] The contest's executive supervisor Martin Österdahl later stated that the use of pre-recorded backing vocals would continue to be permitted for the foreseeable future. [169]

British singer Alesha Dixon, British actress Hannah Waddingham, and Ukrainian singer Julia Sanina were announced as the presenters for the 2023 contest on 22 February 2023, and they hosted all three shows of the event; Irish television presenter Graham Norton joined them for the final. [170] Norton has served as the BBC's commentator for the contest since 2009, and had previously co-hosted both editions of the Eurovision Dance Contest in 2007 and 2008, as well as Eurovision Song Contest's Greatest Hits in 2015. [171]

The "Turquoise Carpet" and Opening Ceremony events were hosted by Timur Miroshnychenko (who had co-hosted the 2017 contest) and Sam Quek, with Richie Anderson providing off-screen commentary. [172] [173] Miroshnychenko also moderated the contest's press conferences, along with Jermaine Foster and Mariia Vynogradova. [174]

On 22 November 2022, the EBU announced changes to the voting system for the 2023 contest. [175] The results of the semi-finals would be determined solely by televoting, as was the case between 2004 and 2007, [lower-alpha 2] while the results of the final would be determined by a combination of national juries and televoting, as has been the case since the 2009 final. In the event that a country cannot deliver a televoting result in a semi-final, a backup jury result would be used instead. [176] In the final, in the event that a country cannot deliver a televoting result, an aggregated result calculated on the basis of countries with similar voting patterns would be used. [177] If a country's jury is disqualified, the televoting points from that country would be doubled and used as a substitute for that country's jury points in the final. The procedure of using calculated points would remain as a last resort in the event that a country cannot deliver a valid jury or televoting result. [178] Viewers from non-participating countries would also be able to vote in all shows, with their votes being aggregated and presented as one individual set of points under "Rest of the World". Those viewers would be able to cast votes via an online platform, which requires ownership of a credit or debit card for verification. [179]

On 8 May 2023, a change to the semi-final qualifiers announcement format was revealed, where the acts would be on stage to anticipate the announcement of the finalists instead of sitting in the green room, similar to The X Factor . [180] This format was trialled during a dress rehearsal for the first semi-final, before being dropped on the same day due to negative responses. [181] [182]

The draw to determine the participating countries' semi-finals took place on 31 January 2023 at 19:00 GMT (20:00 CET), at St George's Hall. [183] The thirty-one semi-finalists were divided over five pots, based on historical voting patterns as calculated by the contest's official televoting partner Digame. [184] The purpose of drawing from different pots was to reduce the chance of "bloc voting" and to increase suspense in the semi-finals. [185] The draw also determined which semi-final each of the six automatic qualifiers the previous year's winning country Ukraine and "Big Five" countries France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom  would broadcast and vote in. The ceremony was hosted by AJ Odudu and Rylan, and included the passing of the host city insignia from Stefano Lo Russo, the mayor of previous host city Turin, to Joanne Anderson, the mayor of Liverpool. London-based production company ModestTV was commissioned to produce the broadcast of the ceremony. [186]

[188] Finland won the most points, followed by Sweden, Israel, Czechia, Moldova, Norway, Switzerland, Croatia, Portugal, and Serbia. The countries that failed to reach the final were Latvia, Ireland, the Netherlands, Azerbaijan, and Malta. All the countries competing in this semi-final were eligible to vote, plus France, Germany and Italy, as well as non-participating countries under an aggregated "Rest of the World" vote. [189]

This semi-final was opened by a dance sketch set to "Together in Electric Dreams", preceded by a pre-recorded segment featuring Paul Hollywood, King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Sister Sister, Ricky Tomlinson, and Paul O'Grady in a posthumous appearance. [190] This was followed by co-presenter Julia Sanina performing "Mayak" with her husband and fellow The Hardkiss member Valeriy Bebko. [191] The interval acts included Alyosha performing "Ordinary World" with Rebecca Ferguson, and Rita Ora performing a medley of "Ritual", "Anywhere", "I Will Never Let You Down" and "Praising You". The French, German, and Italian artists were then interviewed, and clips of their competing songs were played. [192] [193] [194]

Broadcasts

All participating broadcasters may choose to have on-site or remote commentators providing insight and voting information to their local audience. While they must broadcast at least the semi-final they are voting in and the final, most broadcasters air all three shows with different programming plans. In addition, some non-participating broadcasters air the contest. The European Broadcasting Union also provided international live streams with no commentary of both semi-finals and the final through their official YouTube and TikTok channels. [216] [217] The table below details the broadcasting plans and commentators for the countries that aired the contest. According to the EBU, in total 162 million people watched at least a minute of the television broadcasts, and 15.6 million people watched the online broadcasts. Votes were received from 144 countries, including the 37 competing countries. [3] [4]

Technical issues occurred during the start of the first semi-final, causing most of the on-site commentators to lose connection to their broadcasters for around 15 minutes. [218]

Reception

Commercial impact

After winning the 2023 contest, Sweden's entry "Tattoo" became a commercial success. It peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart dated 19 May 2023, and later became the first Eurovision song in 27 years to spend two weeks in the UK top five. [364] In total, it spent four weeks in the UK top ten. [365] It also topped the official charts in ten countries, and reached the top ten in a further 17 countries. The day after the final, "Tattoo" garnered 4,275,290 streams on Spotify, thus breaking the record for the most streams achieved by a Eurovision song on a single day, which was previously held by the 2021 winning entry " Zitti e buoni ". [366]

Along with "Tattoo", three other entries in the 2023 contest entered the top ten of the UK Singles Chart dated 19 May 2023, which is a first in the history of the chart: Finland's "Cha Cha Cha" at number six, the UK's "I Wrote a Song" at number nine, and Norway's "Queen of Kings" at number ten. [367] On the Billboard Global 200 chart dated 27 May 2023, "Tattoo", "Cha Cha Cha" and "Queen of Kings" entered at numbers 15, 27 and 58, respectively. On the Billboard Global Excl. US chart also dated 27 May 2023, "Tattoo", "Cha Cha Cha" and "Queen of Kings" entered at numbers 7, 13 and 29, respectively, followed by Israel's "Unicorn" at number 153 and Italy's " Due vite " at number 174. "Due vite" had previously peaked at number 32 following its win at the Sanremo Music Festival 2023, which also doubled as the Italian national final. [368] [369]

Reaction to the results

Sweden's overall victory despite Finland's lead in the televoting sparked controversy among the viewers and members of the live audience. [370] [371] [372] During the jury voting sequence, several occasions when Sweden scored 12 points were disrupted by chanting from Finland's supporters, [373] although the Swedish entrant Loreen, following her win, stated that she did not mind and furthermore appreciated their enthusiasm. [374] [375] While the televote winner failed to win overall on three previous occasions, in 2015, 2016 and 2019, 2023 was different in that Finland's lead of 133 points in the televote was the largest to date for an entry that did not win, and it also received the full 12 points from 18 different countries in the televoting, while Sweden did not win 12 points from any. [370]

Broadcasting awards

The 2023 contest was presented with the Changemaker Award at the International Broadcasting Convention, in recognition of "its contribution to society and culture – celebrating a brand that continues to stay relevant and fresh on a huge scale". The award was received on 17 September 2023 by the contest's executive supervisor Martin Österdahl. [376] [377] [378] The broadcast of the contest received nominations at the 2024 British Academy Television Awards for Best Entertainment Performance (for co-presenter Hannah Waddingham) and Best Live Event Coverage, [379] [380] and at the 2024 British Academy Television Craft Awards for Best Director: Multi-Camera (for Nikki Parsons, Ollie Bartlett, and Richard Valentine), and Best Entertainment Craft Team (for Julio Himede, Tim Routledge, Kojo Samuel, Michael Sharp, and Dan Shipton); it won the latter three awards.

Finland's Käärijä won the 2023 award, with Croatia's Let 3 and Belgium's Gustaph completing the top three. [390]
