The main problem with this year's broadcast imo that the hosts are not speaking _that_ good english. The whole thing just doesn't feel natural, it really comes across they speak a foreign language.

Could it be because of the fact they are Italians? Or are you assuming the whole world must speak the perfect English?

  1. It's up to the host country choose the hosts 2. Watch previous years, this year is definitely lower quality 3. I don't assume that, but I expect that considering an international broadcast (I'm from the EU, english is not my native language)

Is that really a problem? Oddly pronounced English is the official language of the EU :-)

  For the nerds, there you can read about Euro English on Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro_English https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro_English

Mika isn’t exactly speaking a foreign language, though.

The Italian hostess can sing better than any of the performances tonight. Look her up.

One of the hosts is actually English - the bloke in rather vivid pink. His Italian is deemed fluent but no one has criticised his accent (which is probably odd). I think that all of them manage a pretty decent English, especially the English bloke.

People normally watch it with commentators from their national broadcaster talking over the host presenters, adding an additional layer of comedy or cringe depending on who's commentating. I miss the irreverence of the British commentator but have learned to enjoy the often misplaced disdain of the German guy since moving to Germany. Oh no am I telling you that you're watching it wrong? Uff I might be: sorry; I know that might be a bit annoying.
