omg same!!

I have the same feeling also this is by far the best flag parade till now

Because the Dutch know how to do it

2023 better

@Lianvdb Roblox still weird, bcs Hungary didn't participate this year....

This year they were working with a virtual version of the stage as addition to the normal stage.

Augmented reality

@@dbdgamer2527 Channel. hahaha sorry I had to.

Pieter Gabriel is the name of the Dj and the song is called Venus. Did you know he is just only 16 years old there.

AI. it wasn't real. there was also a lot use of AI in esc 2019 in Israel. they made it so good and real that you really need to look for it... in 2021 they made a decent job. i think they used AI only in flag parade

@@jeniatmtm7540 They used it a fair bit actually. Like Israel the title cards "flag" graphics on the ceiling with AR (albeit Israel had actual lights as well as AR infill). The social bit Nikki did was AR too with the floating profiles. Afrojack's performance was also AR for a good part in the arena when they projected the Rotterdam Bridge. The one thing I didn't realise was virtual was the country names that appeared to be floating (not the ones you see on the screen here). I thought they used the transparent LED screen for that as they seemed to be in the same place as the transparent screen was for the performances.

Because it's a rehearsal (just look at the name of the video)

Yes

@@Justloveit0 oh

I cant upload it until sunday :( EBU re

I had the same feeling. Many thought it was because of the pandemic but they were like 40 dancers on the stage. In my opinion 2019 and 2016 were the best flag parades. I thought 2018 in Portugal was kind oh meh but now I am looking back and 2021 probably turned to my least favorite

2019 was the best but i also love 2016. 2021 was a big disappointment with the opening and finale interval acts (my opinion).

This year was a bad Flag parade, but the camerawork and de lights where better than 2019

Its always easy to critisize. Would have been nicer to give some great ideas, but I guess they are also lacking.

I enjoyed the flag parade of this year's USC a lot. The song they play apparently was produced by a young DJ Pieter Gabriel (16 y/o, he stands at the balcony) to give a stage to young, creative talent from the Netherlands, and I think they did an amazing job with that.
