> Extra challenging this year with tensions running rather high because of Israel's participation. If they can manage to pull this year off without any significant disruption, then the overall security and orchestration really are top-notch.
On one hand, dozens of activists attempting to interrupt the show, red, black, and green flags in the crows (unless they were confiscated by security), and loud booing when a certain country receives points. Demonstrations outside against that country's participation. On the other hand, none of that. Muted microphones to prevent booing, pixelated crowd shots, and cameramen with strict orders to "pan the other way". Only Swiss people interviewed are happy because "music contents bring all people together!" It's like two alternative realities, one which is televised and the other which isn't.
