Well, I understand people's concern about the political situation. I'm doing my best to stay away from this as much as possible and focus on the contest. Plus not much we can about it anymore and nothing keeps me from going to eurovision

Loved your reaction videos Matt. I don't think that they need to do much on staging other than great and effective lighting and camera angles. I just hope he can bring the emotions.
YAY! Matt, so nice to see you here

Matt, a fair amount of the forum users here will be attending Eurovision in Concert. I will be at the press thing myself, can I take you across the street (to the Irish Pub) after the press interviews to meet our users and take some photo's? You really have fans haha, you're a celeb here.

Staging includes good camera work, making sure he connects with the audience and just general shots. I expect a fairly "simple" staging with an appropriate backdrop. as long as he keeps his nerves and connects with the viewers, then I see great things in store for Duncan.
I am also secretly a fan of Matt. Always watch his live streams of the rehearsals.
I don't think they will mess up the staging this time. Pancake has ruined it so often, statistically speaking, he should do a good job now lol. And I have the feeling that Duncan really has creative ideas as well. So no worries.

Hi Matt,
Nice to see you here.
We all big Eurovision fans and always watch and comment you'r video's.
You'r expressions are wonderful, so that's why we are fans.
I also keep distance between Politics and Eurovision.
I love our song/entry this year. But I am also afraid they ruin the act. But still hopefully.
This forum is nice because we are a mix of young and older people and we are nice to each other.

The Netherlands don't get this amount of attention or hype usually in the weeks before ESC so it's a bit nerve wrecking to be in de favourite position this year..

I'm absolutely not nervous for the staging; I have the feeling they will keep it simple and classy. I am a tiny bit worried about Duncan's nerves though; he has never performed for such a huge audience and he was visibly nervous at his first live performance.

Yes, that was an interesting emotional rollercoaster. Right after Moldova managed to uplift their mediocre song with an impressive staging, Waylon managed to do the exact opposite.quote:

His nerves are the most important I agree. I tneeds to be right from the first note and it's a pretty difficult song. But he's shown he can do it live. I hope he can do it in front of millions of people watching. Fingers crossed.

So I have a question for everyone. Let's just assume you guys will win in May. Do you think it will be between Rotterdam and Amsterdam as the host city? Which one is more likely, would love to hear your thoughts.
Lets not get ahead of ourselves but I think that Amsterdam is more likely, as it is the capital of the Netherlands. And Ziggo Dome is a bigger arena than Ahoy. And they could use AFAS live in Amsterdam as press center/extra stage/etc. AFAS live is the venue of EiC, just 500 m from Ziggo dome.quote:

Hi Matt.quote:

I think Amsterdam has the most change to organise Eurovision 2020 due to more capacity and being the capital.
It depends on the venues available. Both Ahoy in Rotterdam and the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam (which is pretty much next to AFAS, where EIC will be) are serious contenders.quote:

The plus side to Ahoy is that it is a huge complex with several other conference rooms and such, so the press centre can then be under the same roof as the arena.
However, the plus side to Ziggo Dome is that it has a slightly bigger capacity and it's pretty easy to build a new stage there. I also have the feeling that the EBU will prefer Amsterdam as host city.
We from Fok forum meet up in a pub in Rotterdam every two months. If we win and the ESC will be in Rotterdam next year, we can show you

It might be between Rotterdam and Amsterdam for a little while just for the sake of discussion, but I think in the end Amsterdam will be way more likely since it's the capital and they do have the venue.quote:

Personally I would like Rotterdam to be the host city, great modern upcoming city (and they do have a venue that I think will do just fine (Rotterdam Ahoy)).

Of course, I don't want to jinx this for your by asking this question . I'm just genuinely curious as I have been to both cities and love them both for different reasons. it is true that Amsterdam would be the obvious choice but I don't think that's a given, remember Germany picking Duesseldorf?!?
And believe it or not, I start planning early, my 2010 planning is already underway!
And I don't think it's a bad thing to dream about it. Just like winning the lottery. It's just fun to think about it, even if it doesn't happen so why suppress positive thoughts? Who knows when the Netherlands will be in a similar situation again so enjoy it

It's really tough to guess the Top 3 at this point but I feel like the Betting Odds are fairly accurate and close to my prediction.
Tough question, every host city had its pros and cons. I think my favorite ESC was 2016 in Stockholm...so much fun.quote:

Rotterdam and Amsterdam are really close in distance and have great train connections (41 minutes with the intercitytrain and quite affordable), so even if you do end up in the different city from te organising one, it shouldn't really give much problems.quote:

You could ask Cornald Maas on April 6 if he has any idea about the hosting city. He is the one that does the tv comments during Eurovision shows and he is in the comittee that chooses the artist anually. Do you know Cornald?

I’m way late to the party but here’s a big WHATSUPYAFOOL to Matt, thank you so much for stopping by and answering our questions and for not being freaked out by the blind (but justified) adoration here. Your livestreams and comments kept us sane during the total meltdown that took place after the first rehearsal last year. Thank you.
Do your coworkers know about your love for Eurovision and are you able to talk about it with them, seeing as you’re in the US? I can imagine it’s hard finding people IRL to talk about your passion where you live.

Personally I think it is a no brainer to be Amsterdam and if it is Amsterdam there is really only one venue that can host is, which is the Ziggo Dome.quote:
So I have a question for everyone. Let's just assume you guys will win in May. Do you think it will be between Rotterdam and Amsterdam as the host city? Which one is more likely, would love to hear your thoughts.
Capital city, bigger venue, easier to reach because of Schiphol Airport and to be honest for most tourists Amsterdam = The Netherlands.

The only thing that could keep Eurovision from being hosted in Amsterdam would be because of the fact that for almost a full two weeks, there will be an influx of media, artists, delegations and fans in the area. The area is big enough but the Dutch football competition is still in its final competition stage in the first weeks of May, which means that they would have to double up on security on match days since the Amsterdam Arena is slap in the middle of all the venues.
If we win (jinxetty jinx jinxxxxx), there will be enough time to plan the Football competition schedule but the Ziggo Dome and maybe AFAS will have to pre-empt for preparations. This means they would miss out on lucrative bookings from other artists (there’s basically shows there at least three times a week) and I’m not sure if they want to miss out on this financially.
With the Ahoy’ in Rotterdam, you have a venue that’s also very suitable (but with a slightly lower capacity) and which has more ‘free time’ in between shows since Ziggo Dome is basically the go-to venue for any big artist performing in the Netherlands nowadays.
Also, accommodation-wise, Rotterdam is more spacious and welcoming, Amsterdam is always so BUSY.
My guess is still Amsterdam though but I wouldn’t be surprised if Amsterdam simply says no.

Nu ff een blackout, maar ik ga er op broeden

*In hopes of him still reading here*

I will arrive in Amsterdam on Thursday actually and will stay until Monday. I will then spend a few days with my family in Germany and then will indeed attend the London Party.
Still can’t believe it’s you. We all luv you
I saw your reaction video on Duncan over 10 times I guess How often is it possible for you to visit your family?
I’m so happy you are here
Apart from some of the videos and haircuts, I don't think I've made any wrong moves.

I also think it will be Amsterdam (oh mother of all jinxes). But I really like the vibe of Rotterdam, it’s a completely different city compared to Amsterdam or Utrecht.
Also, hotel accommodation is generally cheaper in Rotterdam (or better, less expensive) so Rotterdam wouldn’t be a bad choice at all.

I'm quite late but HI MATT!!quote:
How awesome that you came here to say hi to everyone, it shows that this topic is there for a reason.
Keep doing what you do please and I hope to see you in Amsterdam the 6th of April to celebrate Eurovision

Hi Matt!quote:
Well, Hi everyone.
It was brought to my attention that there is a thread dedicated to my work which is such a nice thing to see. Thank you, everyone, for your support on this, I'm beyond flattered and encouraged to continue my work to the best of my abilities.
I'd wish you all good luck but, clearly you don't need it as your country is going to (rightfully) own the contest this year.
If you happen to be in Amsterdam for Eurovision in concert, make sure to say Hi as I will be attending the event and will be there most of the day.
Thanks again, I love these gifs, I keep forgetting how animated I can be at times
I'm glad you're here, since there are a lot of people (including me) that appreciate the live streams at the rehearsals! I'd love to meet you and take a selfie at Eurovision in Concert, if that's fine with you!
That being said, keep up the amazing work and I can't wait for the livestreams in Tel Aviv!
Why don't you stay in my lovely Utrecht? Only 16 minutes by train to the AFAS venue and not so crowded by tourists as Amsterdam

Ik ben dus midden in de nacht wakker geworden en Fok gaan lezen. Toen pas dit topic geopend, waardoor ik dus dacht dat ik heb gedroomd dat die (ik ken hem niet) Matt hier ineens kwam reageren. Maar het is dus waar. Jullie zijn een mooi stelletje fangirls haha XD
't Echte en 't ware!
Hi, Matt. I just want to say I love your reaction videos and livestreams. You're always respectful to everyone in your reactions and I love it that you give us a chance to be part of the rehearsals.
However, this wouldn't be an appreciation topic without an appreciation gif.
So, thank you, Matt. I'm glad you're here.
