Eurovision 2025: Reimagining the Contest as the Olympics

Eurovision 2025: Podcasters Imagine a Contest Like the Olympics Germany - A German podcast, "Hazel Thomas Hörerlebnis," hosted by Hazel and Thomas, recently sparked a conversation about the future of the Eurovision Song Contest. Their discussion, captured in a short video, proposes a novel perspective: what if Eurovision were judged like the Olympic Games? The podcasters suggest expanding judging criteria beyond vocal ability. "If Eurovision had multiple disciplines," Thomas mused in the video, "what would they be, besides singing?" Hazel offered insightful suggestions, highlighting the importance of stage presence and audience engagement. She referenced a performance by Luxembourg as a prime example of innovative use of camera angles and stage design. "That Luxembourg performance used the stage as a screen so effectively," Hazel explained. "It was initially confusing, but then you see how they integrated it into the act. It's a fantastic example of how to use visual elements effectively." The video, which has already garnered significant online attention, has sparked debate among Eurovision fans. The discussion highlights the evolving nature of the competition and the potential for incorporating new, more diverse judging metrics.
