Baku 2012 kicks off with spectacular live show - Eurovision Song Contest 2012

[MrGoodPoison]

Reassure me! this is not the room where the Eurovision will take place?? Tell me that this is only the guests' locker room???

they have nothing greater?

[MrMegaazrock]

super

[lauritasaade]

i'm afraid of what can happen in that country...

[MrGANATKA]

Cooool, I love Baku! Its such a comfy city. I've been there with my girlfriend, people welcomed us everywhere, especially when they knew we are foreigners))

[alboss13]

Fake festival..

[koddinn]

We all know how Azerbaijan prepares for international events... you have made sure to throw everybody who might critizise the government in jail, yes?

[koddinn]

Great show for the audience, maybe, bad show for all the people who got evicted from their homes....

[Rolomiful]

title here " fail

[eXoreFB]

0:43 - TITLE HERE

hahahaha faaail

[ZeGermanBastorD]

And I first thought the ESC is going back to it's roots, rofl.

Nice TROLL VIDEO, had a good laugh guys :D

[xowicked]

This show was so cheap and unprofessional, the presenters were totally fake- overall impression is just pathetic. I'm afraid to think about what is gonna be during the real show in may.

[vjcoyote]

0:46 "Title Here" omg :)

[marseille5247a]

[macelektrik]

0:40 Professionalism of Eurovision.

[OfficialTomAustin]

I really have to say im a huge ESC fan, but the opening ceremony was soooooooo booooring.

The only persons who set fire to the rain were Lena (Germany 2010-2011) and Alexander (Norway 2009)

[Euro20TOP]

[eurovisionairtv]

jon ola sand is cute

[MsFarashka]

@Azerbaijanka777

you shouldn't feel so attacked by those words. but in fact it's right, that most of the it sounds kind of strange when azeri people are talking english. that's just because of their dialect and because of them don't speak good enough. the thing ist, you're right, not all azeris have to speak perfect english but those who are working for tv and especially those who are going to host such a big show, which will be watched by people all over the world, should be able to!

[eurovisionbelgiumfan]

Belgium !!!!!

[eurovision]

@eurovisionbelgiumfan :-))) Fijn da je er goeie moed op hebt! ;)

[eurovisionbelgiumfan]

@eurovision

Spreek jij Nederlands ?

[EuroNetherlands]

Nooooooooo, the Netherlands is in a hard semi-final. Come on Europe we didn't pass through the final for 7 years! And I know one thing for sure, the Netherlands will have a great song. I heard the demo snippets of the 6 dutch songs, it is the best in years, and our artist can preform a very good show in baku this year.

I heard if the Netherlands won't go to the final this year this is the last year that the Netherlands take part in.

[myrthe66]

@EuroNetherlands Can´t wait for your song! (I didn´t like the last two ones.) Please stay, don´t give up!!

[EuroNetherlands]

@myrthe66 I hope sow, many countries like: azerbaijan, ukraine and moldova don't care about us. I can not understand why our entries in 2005 en 2008 not went to the final.

Only our neigbour countries care about us. Maybe a lot of countries have to see that a dutch party in Amsterdam 2013 is great :D

[myrthe66]

@EuroNetherlands I voted - not for the song - but for the Netherlands - last year and this year we also can vote for you, so I´ll do.

[ivailo9202]

[4everTubeYou1]

Fuck and this is the stage ?? I cant blieve it! Its nothing for esc! Wtf

[emin1471985]

@4everTubeYou1

dont be dumb please, this is a stage only for the key passing ceremony and the draw allocation. the concert and the whole show in may will be held at a new arena...

[4everTubeYou1]

@emin1471985 im not the only who said that.so i thought it is the place where esc will be ..

[bayfox2]

It will be very very difficult to top last years ecw show from duesseldorf / germany.

[TheWrestlingmonster]

KONU DIŞI BURADAYDI

[JaviMusicful]

Buta Palace.. )

[overgrowneden]

Yeah, they REALLY need to work on their grasp of the English language...

[SraSelenaGomezVEVO]

Is very little space .. I think..

[MsVitaliy2009]

it 1080p?!

[RafaelaeRita]

Oh, be original in the stage form! I'm tired of watching small and round stages :S

[RusLoveBelarus2011]

Всем Русский привет из Баку ! + Enlish welcome =)

[ersozmert]

Azerbaijan <3 Turkey forever bro!

[SofagrisenxD]

Will I be able to watch the show from Norway? 

[Emuula2]

Uhhh ! I want to watch ESC 2012 live on 24th of May but I can't because I from Poland

[IrishKeshiHead]

@Emuula2 uh.. there is the live internet stream.

[MrJosephvids]

Can't it be LIVE in Youtube it's easier & popular !

[EscBaku]

THe people of Azerbaijan know min. 3 languages (mainly : Azerbaijani Russian English Turkish) and more!

[999buta999]

Yes,we speak Russian,Turkish,and of course Azerbaijani,and you? )

[aandreya]

@999buta999 eng, ger, fre, span, cro, slo, est and counting

[axyflion]

@999buta999

LOL, speaking those languages is really useful... (sarcasm).

[KittyALevin]

Why have such a big show? To put themselves on the map, of course! I'm a bit separated from all this (I'm American) but I heard that when Azerbaijan won, not everyone even knew where the country was. If they make a big impression, maybe more people will want to learn about them.

[SevRash]

@KittyALevin

If somebody does not know the location of the country it means that these man has no enough education.

[Sweet2Rani]

English is really difficult ... yah, I know :D

[Evridikiify]

I don't see what's wrong with making things good. Azerbaijan wants to make a good job concerning the contest. If this is going to be for just a mere allocation draw, can't wait to see what is to come!

[infinity09x]

HAHAHAHAHAH

Title here

[Zeetana1]

Why are they making such a big deal out of an allocation draw? No one will be interested in watching this except the press that's there/going to be there and us, the fans. There's no need for guest performers and stuff like that. Waste of time and money.

[ilvharmonicas]

@Zeetana1 well i ddont think the azeris need to worry about that ;) from my knowledge theyre really rich because of the oil they have

[dirofreak]

Agreed with IrishKeshiHead + What's the point of a "spectacular live show" for a mere draw?

[AgentUMasyanya]

Looks interesting and exciting!

[tomboyjgh]

Any one else see the 'title here' mistake?

[mangavisionx173]

Azerbaijan <3

[gavmcguinness8024]

Not very professional.

Let's hope they improve quickly!

[MetafellerOfficial]

I didn't understand one word even.

[universitet89]

@MetafellerOfficial it is the problem of your ears!!!

[ESCfanDominikSVK]

WOW :) I like this allocation draw more than last year :) Can't wait :)

[Zarastro1040]

Lena will be there.

[ArslanHadise]

good luke!

[TennaciousD94]

lol compare this to germany xD

[ganida1]

@TennaciousD94

kannst du mal damit aufhören?? Vorallem wenn du keine Ahnung hast

[budrooo]

like!

[IrishKeshiHead]

The Azerbaijan people may need some more time to learn their english.. but nonetheless, Let's see what the Baku people have for us.

[universitet89]

@IrishKeshiHead do you think that your english is perfect?))

[IrishKeshiHead]

@universitet89 I'm just saying.. it's a bit broken even for me.

[Greek4u123]

@IrishKeshiHead says the Irishman who i can never understand.

[fuad61]

@IrishKeshiHead I think they are doing pretty good in English. Almost everyone in Azerbaijan knows at least 3 languages almost fluently.

How many do you know my dear friend? :)

[tugaylime]

@IrishKeshiHead ..."to learn their english"... it takes time to understand this irish-english...

[EscBaku]

@IrishKeshiHead Azerbaijani people know min. 3 languages and can speak very well...

[RafaelaeRita]

@IrishKeshiHead That was exactly what I was going to say. Totally agreed ;)

[MurikBM]

@IrishKeshiHead dnt understan,.. Ej actually there're talkng just 3 guys or 2 :P did u c other azerbaijani turks' english?even it's really too weak for us-we haven't some sounds that using in english---!:PP

[universitet89]

@IrishKeshiHead do u think that ur english is perfect?  i see your drawbacks in one sentence:)))

[Azerbaijanka777]

@IrishKeshiHead

We dont need to learn english very well as mother language,because we are not english or american, WE ARE AZERBAIJANI PEOPLE! We know english,this much is enough for us.

[XxRedDronexX]

Anar Reiband

@XxRedDronexX He's a professional titlehere

[HarryHayfield]
