I hope the same amount of efforts will be put in Eurovision than in Melodifestivalen.

MF stages are dreadful, so that's not really an aim at all. They are cheap and small looking, everything a ESC stage shouldn't be.

As I said it shouldn't be an aim, but a point of comparison at least. I'm probably the only one to think that but the 2013 ESC stage was cheap and small looking.

MF stages seem to be small in Friends Arena / Globen, because they are designed to fit in the smallest arena they have in the semi finals. The stages have to be very simple and easy (and fast) to build, because they have to move to another location within 2 days which in some cases with distant cities is rather tricky and time-consuming job. So they don't have much time for stage construction. With Eurovision, SVT will not face such issues.

i dont understand why so many of you are into bigger stages each year. a big stage does not have to look good and anyway its a matter of taste. for me dusseldorf and baku stages were ugly. malmö stage did not look very spectacular but the light show was great. and most important for me is the show that is put up around the stage, copenhagen had a fantastic stage but poor opening ceremony and interval shows. malmö had fantastic opening ceremony (especially semi final 1) and vienna as well.
sweden always puts much effort into the content, thats more important than the technical issues in my opinion. i am confident that we will see a great show in stockholm next year.

It would have looked differently on a small stage.

But Loreen´s performance was very "minimalized". Just focused on Loreen and her dancer. Because of the dark atmosphere you didn´t even recognize the size of Baku´s stage during that song. It would have worked at Moscows one, but also in Malmö imo.

Same with Måns; most of the time the focus was just on that black screen, and steady cam going around him or some wide shots. The LED background was also fairly simple, lights were more important. so the performance would've looked as good as it did even on a smaller stage imo.

It wouldn't have looked good. Big stages give a good perspective, so without LED viewer can focus on performer only. With small stages like, for example Helsinki 2007 and Malmo 2013 the stage would ruin the view.

Vienna 2015 was a small stage. I think this year they'll do a bigger one. The arena is bigger as well.
