He was a judge on The Voice of Italy for three editions, took part in an Italian TV show, got his own TV show on Italian TV (very successful - got incredible ratings, award-winning show), he performed at Sanremo, X Factor Italy.

He moved to Italy in 2013 (near Florence) and has a (recording) studio there as well.

I think that he´s partly based in Italy as an entertainer/musician/artist and partly lives there.

No, he was coach at The Voice in :fr:.

Yeah, Mika is really popular in Italy and has hosted his own show which was very popular here and has a lot of business because was a juror on several talent shows. I think he will be a great host, because I find him really fitting for that role because he is really charismatic and, and that's a big plus when it come to International shows, he speaks fluently 7 languages (English, French, Spanish, Italian, Lebanese dialecr, Arabic and Chinese).

Well, the most impressive rehearsal of today is probably :cy: for me, :sm: (even if I dislike the song) and :az: looked great too

Many great stagings today, the only one I didn't like was Finland tbh

Yeah, it was X Factor Italy for several seasons/editions.

My bad - I lose track of all these exhausting TV formats/talent shows.

I don´t blame you, there are much too many. :lol:

I´ve lost any interest in talent shows. I didn´t watch a single episode of the last two seasons of DSDS and only watched The Voice of Germany last year because of Johannes Oerding.

So all countries that hired Marvin Dittmann brought their own props. Austria, Armenia, Cyprus and Israel. (Are there more?)

He's probably very busy next year.

Germany.

And I have to say this, I am calling the showrunner bullshit for his justifications in deciding the running order.
Looking at first half of SF2, the stagings with the easiest props to move are Israel, Georgia and Serbia. But they decide to put them right so early on into the show. Plus Israel and Serbia's colour palette are almost similar (white outfits with red lightings). And they put Malta, San Marino, Australia and Cyprus back to back when they have the biggest props (beside Azerbaijan) to move. Clearly favouritism is at play here.

So apparently it won’t stay this way after all. Maybe just maybe the LEDs facing the wall is intended and not a malfunction. Maybe they are trying to hide some sort of surprise.

My dear friend. I don't know what to think anymore.
Watching the snippets that @crashworld sends to us seems that the partecipants are having fun and maybe we are the only ones to worried if this damn sun is going to shine or not.
I really really really hope the organizers could surprise us.

... That's strange. There is a theory now, that the artists rehearsed in normal conditions, and they turn the sun only for the photos and the video takes -that's why press can't see the rehearsal-. ... Hum.

In fact, i'm afraid that it could be just a hypocritical speech. we'll see.

After, from the pics, i find the staging beautiful like this anyway, but of course if it waste what some delegations planned for it, it's disappointing.

Well the stage does look like the way she designed it, but isn't functional.

According to Danish media, EBU said that the issue is the slow speed the sun moved at - which is something they should've figured out long before imo.

Weel according to DR the producers realized the sun takes way too long to turn to be able to move in the 40 seconds between each performance, so they decided to keep the sun in the same configuration for all 40 acts in order to "mantain fairness"
That goes along with the previous reports that they decided to keep the sun static for the performances, but to move it for interval acts, the voting and other tuff.
They decided to keep the arches in the light side, rather than the LED side, because it is much easier for delegations that planned to use the LEDs to readapt for the lights than the opposite, as new LED content would have to be created for the arches.
