Here are some stage photos from the ABU's site:

Looks good so far xlove, the LEDs are pretty good xup, although not as unique as the 2012 which actually are 3 rotated LEDs (for those who thought that the LED is just one), but honestly i dislike the stage's checkerboard color :mad:, it should have been just black, i hope the stage shape (which i don't know yet) won't ruin the stage more

LIVE PERFORMANCE VIDEOS COMING SOON 26 OCTOBER OR LATER (OBVIOUSLY)!!!!!

:eek: Are you just being sarcastic :confused:, but i think it's okay, ATSF still have a long road to be as awesome as Eurovision.

But the one thing i really hate with this Festival is that it's not broadcasted live on all ATSF countries except for the host country which is Vietnam, it makes me mad :mad:, i mean, how can this Festival be popular if it's not broadcasted live x0s???

What a boring performance from Indonesia xsnooty

I hate the song, and I hate the performance SOOC

next year, they should send something epic (if they want to send folk-influenced song) like Krakatau (which is impossible) or Samba Sunda or maybe Bossajava

or maybe send "Kroncong" or "Langgam Jawa" :mrgreen: or maybe send something from eastern part.

I even didn't saw the performance :lol:, the only think i saw is their costumes from a photo from the ATSF's facebook

Well if TVRI wanna make an NF for next year, Frau or Neonomora should join it, and win it! :twisted:

I would love to if they send someone famous, but it's hard because the ATSF itself is not famous (looks like only 1/100 of Indonesians that know this show).

The ATSF itself is a festival with no great future if it's still like this, i hope Macau fixed this and make a great show in 2014 :D

And i really hope this festival becomes successful quickly because of this,"If this Festival is successful, we will have further discussion to turn it into a music competition with judges, and the performances' quality will therefore be enhanced" Ho Kien - 50th ABU General Assembly Organizing Committee President

I have a feeling that if :id: organize this show (in 2015), then it will be something glamorous, open for public, and competitive :lol:

TVRI? remember? it won't be a glamorous event if they organizing it, EPIC FAIL! xfaint

Turkey will host the ABU general assembly in 2015, so if Indonesia won't organize it, then Turkey will, no doubt for Turkey for me :)
