Le jour de la finale du Concours Eurovision de la chanson 2017, il a été signalé que le radiodiffuseur portugais Rádio e Televisão de Portugal (RTP) accepterait le défi d’organiser le concours 2018 en cas de victoire. [6] Après le triomphe de Sobral, le superviseur exécutif de l’ Union européenne de radiodiffusion (EBU) pour le concours Eurovision de la chanson, Jon Ola Sand , a lancé l’invitation d’hébergement à RTP lors de la conférence de presse du gagnant. Le lendemain, le directeur général de RTP, Nuno Artur Silva, a confirmé que le diffuseur organiserait le concours en 2018 et a mentionné la MEO Arena (rebaptisée plus tard Altice Arena ) à Lisbonne comme un lieu susceptible d’accueillir le concours. [7]Le 15 mai 2017, RTP semble avoir confirmé Lisbonne comme ville hôte, [8] [9] mais a précisé le lendemain qu’aucune décision finale n’avait été prise concernant à la fois la ville hôte et le lieu. [dix]

Les exigences de base pour sélectionner une ville hôte ont été énoncées dans un document présenté par l’UER à RTP après leur victoire à Kiev : [11]

  • Une salle adaptée pouvant accueillir environ 10 000 spectateurs.
  • Un centre de presse international pour 1 500 journalistes avec des installations adéquates pour tous les délégués.

[12] [13] [14] Le maire de Porto , Rui Moreira , a déclaré qu’il ne serait pas intéressé à “dépenser des millions d’euros” pour accueillir le concours, [10] mais il soutiendrait une offre de la zone métropolitaine de Porto (Espinho, Gondomar et Santa Maria da Feira). [13]

Le 13 juin 2017, des représentants de RTP ont rencontré le groupe de référence du concours Eurovision de la chanson au siège de l’UER à Genève . Au cours de la réunion, les responsables de la RTP ont assisté à un atelier couvrant plusieurs sujets liés à l’accueil du Concours Eurovision de la chanson et ont appris de l’expérience du diffuseur ukrainien UA:PBC . Ils ont également eu l’occasion de présenter leurs premiers plans pour le concours 2018, y compris de multiples propositions pour la ville hôte et le lieu. [15]

Le 25 juillet 2017, l’UER et la RTP ont annoncé que Lisbonne avait été choisie comme ville hôte, surmontant les offres confirmées de Braga, Gondomar, Guimarães et Santa Maria da Feira. [16] En outre, RTP a indiqué le Parque das Nações, où se trouve l’Altice Arena, comme site des spectacles. [17]

Other countries

Eligibility for participation in the Eurovision Song Contest requires a national broadcaster with active EBU membership,[71] or a special invitation from the EBU as in the case of Australia.

Active EBU members

  • Andorra – The Director General of Ràdio i Televisió d’Andorra (RTVA) announced on 14 May 2017 that Andorra would not participate in the contest, due to financial difficulties and the restructuring of the company.[72]
  • Luxembourg – Steve Schmit, the Director of Programming at the Luxembourgish broadcaster (RTL), explained last year the reasons against participating in the Eurovision Song Contest. He also underlined that Luxembourg’s chance for success in the contest is limited: “I believe that (with) the enlargement of Eurovision, the days (of victory) are gone. With the new voting system, it is very unlikely that Luxembourg is successful. Small countries are somewhat more troubled now”. Luxembourg last participated in 1993.[73]
  • Slovakia – Eríka Rusnáková, press spokesperson of the Slovak broadcaster Radio and Television of Slovakia (RTVS), confirmed on 11 September 2017 to Czech Eurovision website Eurocontest.cz that the country would not participate in the 2018 contest.[74]
  • Turkey – On 12 July 2017, Sertab Erener, who won for Turkey in 2003, announced on an Instagram live chat that Turkey would return and wished luck to the next representative.[75] maNga, the 2010 Turkish representatives,[76] and Hadise, the 2009 Turkish representative, also expressed their interests for Turkey returning to the contest. Despite these statements, on 7 August 2017, the Deputy Prime Minister of Turkey, Bekir Bozdağ, issued a statement saying that there were no plans for a return.[77] The same day, TRT confirmed their non-participation in the 2018 contest.[78]

Associate EBU members

  • Kazakhstan – Khabar Agency became an associate member of the EBU on 1 January 2016, opening up the possibility of future participation.[79] They broadcast all the shows in 2017. Furthermore, the winner of the Turkvision Song Contest 2014, Zhanar Dugalova, said she would be interested in representing Kazakhstan in the contest.[80] However, on 25 September, Khabar Agency told Esctoday that: “We have no information about Kazakshtan’s participation in Eurovision 2018 yet”, maintaining the possibility of the country being invited by the EBU, as it is entirely at the EBU’s discretion to extend an invitation like in the case of Australia.[81] The EBU however, chose not to invite Kazakhstan, as seen in the list of participants.[82] On 22 December 2017, it was claimed that Channel 31 had finalised negotiations with the EBU, allowing Kazakhstan to debut in 2019,[83] however, on 23 December 2017, the EBU told Esctoday that: “Channel 31 Kazakhstan has indeed expressed interest in becoming a Member of the EBU and hence participate in the Eurovision Song Contest. However, since Channel 31 is outside the European Broadcasting Area and is also not a member of the Council of Europe, it is not eligible to become an active Member of the EBU”.[84]

Non-EBU members

  • Kosovo – Kosovar media reported that RTK was hopeful that they would debut in the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest in Portugal. In an article published by RTK the Director of Television at the Kosovar broadcaster stated that he had received the support of national broadcasters across the Balkans to participate in the competition. However, both Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia had opposed such participation.[85] The EBU then sent a letter to RTK explaining that Kosovo cannot participate in the ESC, because it is not a UN member and it is not a fully recognised state.[86]
  • Liechtenstein – On 1 September 2017, 1 FL TV, the national broadcaster of the Principality of Liechtenstein confirmed that the country would not debut in 2018.[87] However, on 4 November 2017, 1 FL TV announced that they are planning a debut in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2019.[88]

Incidents

Accusations of cultural appropriation

Following eventual winner Netta Barzilai’s performance of her song “Toy”, critics of the song accused Barzilai of culturally appropriating Japanese culture, with several users taking to social media to call the performance “offensive”. The accusations were made after she wore a kimono and buns, as well as Maneki-nekos being shown during the performance.[156][157][158]

The topic was debated on British morning show Good Morning Britain on 14 May 2018 in response,[159] with television presenters Trisha Goddard and Piers Morgan defending Barzilai by stating that she was simply implementing elements of Japanese culture due to her own appreciation of it. English journalist Rebecca Reid disagreed, arguing “It’s not a beautiful, loving representation of real Japanese culture. It’s a costume”.[160]

Belarusian song submission

On 10 January 2018, it had emerged on Russian social media site VK that Ukrainian singer Alekseev had performed a Russian-language version of his EuroFest entry “Forever” (as Navsegda) in May 2017 in Stavropol – before 1 September 2017, the submission deadline set by the EBU, potentially violating the rules of the contest.[161] Six artists threatened to withdraw from the selection if it were allowed to compete,[162] with Sofi Lapina actually doing so.[163] Alekseev was ultimately allowed to compete by BTRC following a melodic revamp of the song, and went on to win the selection, thus earning the right to represent Belarus in the contest.[164] However, on 23 February 2018, it was reported that the EBU had given Alekseev permission to perform his original English-language version of the song at the contest, and he would opt to sing that version of the song in May.[165] A few weeks after that announcement, on 28 March 2018, Alekseev premiered a new version of his entry with a lighter intro and additional choir at the end of the track. He also confirmed that this version would be the one performed in Lisbon.[166]

Czech rehearsal injuries

On 29 April 2018, during the first rehearsal of the Czech Republic’s performance, singer Mikolas Josef reportedly sustained injuries to his back while rehearsing and was subsequently taken to hospital. The singer updated his fans on Instagram, stating “I can confirm that I got injured during the rehearsal and the situation got worse after several hours. I can’t even walk now. Got back from the first hospital and I am now heading to another one”. He stated that he would, however, “perform no matter what”.[167] Josef performed in the first semi-final on 8 May with a slightly altered performance, owing to his injuries, and ultimately finished sixth in the final, achieving the Czech Republic’s best result to date. He was also the second Czech contestant to qualify for the final, the other being Gabriela Gunčíková in 2016.

China’s Mango TV censorship

During the Chinese broadcast of the first semi-final on Mango TV, the performances of Albania and Ireland were edited out of the show, along with their snippets in the recap of all 19 entries.[168] Albania was skipped due to a ban on television performers displaying tattoos that took effect in January 2018, while Ireland was censored due to its representation of a homosexual couple on-stage.[169] In addition, the LGBT flag and tattoos on other performers were also blurred out from the broadcast.[170] As a result, the EBU has terminated its partnership with Mango TV, citing that censorship “is not in line with the EBU’s values of universality and inclusivity and its proud tradition of celebrating diversity through music,” which led to a ban on televising the second semi-final and the grand final in the country.[150][171] A spokesperson for the broadcaster’s owner Hunan TV said they “weren’t aware” of the edits made to the programme.[172] Ireland’s representative, Ryan O’Shaughnessy told the BBC in an interview, “they haven’t taken this lightly and I think it’s a move in the right direction, so I’m happy about it.”[170]

United Kingdom stage invasion

The performance of SuRie, representing the United Kingdom, in the final was disrupted by a man who rushed onto the stage and grabbed her microphone, reportedly shouting “For the Nazis of the UK media, we demand freedom! War is not peace.”[why?][173][174] The man, later identified as ‘Dr ACactivism’, a political activist from London,[175] climbed into a camera run to get access to the stage.[176] SuRie was able to complete her performance, and after the song the broadcast cut to an unscheduled interview in the green room.[177][178] The EBU offered SuRie and her team the opportunity to perform again, but she declined.[173] SuRie later revealed that she had suffered several bruises on her right hand.[179] Shortly after the live broadcast on YouTube, the final was taken down and reuploaded in its entirety, with SuRie’s interrupted performance edited out and substituted with her jury show performance from the previous evening. The official reupload also retains the unscheduled green room interview with the Ukrainian delegation that followed the stage invasion. The official DVD release also replaces the interrupted grand final performance with the previous evening’s jury show performance.[180] However, the British national broadcaster BBC uploaded the original Saturday performance, including the stage invasion, to their YouTube channel.

Other awards

In addition to the main winner’s trophy, the Marcel Bezençon Awards and the Barbara Dex Award were contested during the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest. The OGAE, “General Organisation of Eurovision Fans” voting poll also took place before the contest.

Marcel Bezençon Awards

The Marcel Bezençon Awards, organised since 2002 by Sweden’s then-Head of Delegation and 1992 representative Christer Björkman, and 1984 winner Richard Herrey, honours songs in the contest’s final.[181] The awards are divided into three categories: Artistic Award, Composers Award, and Press Award.[182] The winners were revealed shortly before the Eurovision final on 12 May.
