Cuarenta y dos países participaron en el concurso, uno menos que el récord de cuarenta y tres del año anterior. Eslovaquia regresó al certamen por primera vez desde 1998 , mientras que San Marino no entró por cuestiones económicas. Letonia y Georgia anunciaron originalmente su intención de no participar, pero más tarde la UER declaró que ambos países participarían. [2] Sin embargo, Georgia decidió retirarse después de que la UER rechazara la canción seleccionada por considerar que infringía las reglas del concurso .

El ganador fue Noruega con la canción " Fairytale ", interpretada y escrita por Alexander Rybak . La canción ganó tanto el voto del jurado como el televoto y recibió 387 puntos de 492 posibles, en ese momento la puntuación total más alta en la historia del concurso. Islandia , Azerbaiyán , Turquía y el Reino Unido completaron los cinco primeros puestos; este último logró su mejor puesto desde 2002 . El segundo puesto de Islandia fue el mejor puesto del país en una década .

Después de las críticas al sistema de votación en 2007 , finalmente se introdujeron cambios en el procedimiento de votación antes de este concurso, con la reintroducción de un jurado nacional junto con el televoto para la final, mientras que el formato de las semifinales siguió siendo el mismo.

Ubicación

Olimpiysky Arena, Moscú: sede del concurso de 2009.

El concurso se celebró en Rusia tras su victoria en el concurso de 2008 en Belgrado , Serbia , con " Believe " de Dima Bilan . [3] Vladimir Putin , entonces- Primer Ministro de Rusia , afirmó que el concurso se celebraría en Moscú . [4]

El Canal Uno propuso que el concurso se celebrara en el Olimpiysky Arena de Moscú , y esta propuesta fue evaluada por la UER y confirmada el 13 de septiembre de 2008. [4] [5] El director general del lugar, Vladimir Churilin, refutó los rumores. de una reconstrucción urgente del edificio, diciendo: "No será necesario para el Festival de Eurovisión. Ahora podemos acoger hasta 25.000 espectadores". [ cita necesaria ]

Países participantes

Tras la publicación de la lista final de participantes por parte de la UER, 42 países confirmaron su participación en el concurso de 2009, incluida Eslovaquia , que regresó al concurso después de 11 años. [2] [6] Georgia anunció originalmente que no participaría en el concurso debido a la guerra ruso-georgiana en protesta por la política exterior de Rusia, [7] [8] pero luego decidió regresar al concurso, inspirada por su victoria en el Festival de la Canción de Eurovisión Junior 2008 , así como por los 12 puntos de Rusia en el mismo certamen. [9] [10] El país finalmente se retiró del concurso debido a que se consideró que su participación contenía referencias políticas, incluido en el título un juego de palabras con el apellido del primer ministro de Rusia. [11]

Surgieron rumores sobre la participación y regreso de San Marino y Mónaco . Télé Monte Carlo (TMC), la emisora ​​monegasca, confirmó que hubo conversaciones con la UER sobre el regreso de monegasco al concurso de 2009. [12] Al mismo tiempo, se difundieron rumores de que la emisora ​​de San Marino , Radiotelevisione della Repubblica di San Marino (SMRTV), no participaría en el concurso debido a su mala clasificación en el concurso de 2008. [13] Al final, después de confirmar originalmente su intención de participar en Moscú, SMRTV se vio obligado a retirarse del evento debido a dificultades financieras que impidieron una segunda entrada. [14] [15]

Según los informes , la emisora ​​letona Latvijas Televīzija (LTV) se había retirado del concurso de 2009 el 17 de diciembre de 2008, tres días después de la fecha límite final de participación. Esto se debió a recortes presupuestarios de más de 2 millones de lati (2,8 millones de euros ) del presupuesto de LTV, lo que obstaculizó su capacidad para pagar la cuota de participación. [16] LTV confirmó que habían informado a la UER de su intención de retirarse basándose únicamente en dificultades financieras. Luego, LTV entabló conversaciones con la UER en un intento de encontrar una solución que mantuviera al país en la contienda. [17] [18] El 20 de diciembre de 2008, LTV anunció que se retiraría del concurso y que tanto la UER como Channel One habían acordado no imponer una sanción financiera por el retiro tardío de la emisora ​​del concurso de 2009. LTV también anunció su intención de estar en el concurso de 2010. [19] [20] Sin embargo, el 12 de enero de 2009, se anunció que Letonia participaría en el concurso de 2009. [2] Cada país eligió su propuesta para el concurso a través de su propio proceso de selección. Algunos países seleccionaron su participación a través de una selección interna, donde la cadena representante eligió tanto la canción como el artista, mientras que otros realizaron finales nacionales donde el público eligió la canción, el artista o ambos.

Treinta y siete países participaron en una de las dos semifinales del certamen. [2] El sorteo de asignación de semifinales tuvo lugar el 30 de enero de 2009, [21] [22] mientras que el sorteo del orden de ejecución se celebró el 16 de marzo de 2009. [23] [24]

Artistas que regresan

Formato

Treinta y siete países participaron en una de las dos semifinales del certamen, estando los países " Cuatro Grandes " ( Francia , Alemania , España y Reino Unido ) y el anfitrión ( Rusia ) preclasificados para la final. [2] Además de los preclasificados, la final también incluyó a los diez países seleccionados de cada semifinal, haciendo un total de veinticinco participantes.

Una discusión sobre los cambios en el formato del Festival de la Canción de Eurovisión 2009 tuvo lugar en una reunión de la UER en Atenas , Grecia , en junio de 2008, donde se hizo una propuesta que podría haber resultado en que los "Cuatro Grandes" perdieran su lugar automático en la final de el concurso. [28] Sin embargo, se confirmó que los países "Cuatro Grandes" continuarían clasificándose automáticamente para la final en el concurso de 2009. [29]

Diseño gráfico

La escenografía del concurso

La emisora ​​anfitriona Channel One presentó el sublogotipo y el tema del concurso de 2009 el 30 de enero de 2009. [30] El sublogotipo se basa en un " Pájaro de fantasía ", que se puede utilizar con muchos colores. Como en años anteriores, el sublogotipo se presentó junto al logotipo genérico. [30] 2009 es el único año desde la introducción de los lemas en 2002 que no tiene ninguno.

El escenario fue diseñado por el escenógrafo John Casey, radicado en Nueva York, y se basó en el tema de la vanguardia rusa contemporánea . Casey, que anteriormente había diseñado el escenario para el Festival de la Canción de Eurovisión de 1997 en Dublín, también participó en los equipos de diseño de los concursos de 1994 y 1995. Explicó que "incluso antes de trabajar con los rusos en los Premios TEFI en Moscú en 1998, se inspiró y se sintió atraído por el arte del período de la vanguardia rusa, especialmente los constructivistas... [Él] trató de idear un diseño teatral para el concurso que incorpore el arte de vanguardia ruso en un entorno contemporáneo, compuesto casi en su totalidad por diferentes tipos de pantallas LED". [31] Casey explicó que juntas, las diversas formas de LED forman el producto terminado. Además, grandes secciones del escenario se pueden mover, incluida la parte central circular de las pantallas LED curvas, que se pueden mover para lograr un efecto y permitir que cada canción tenga una sensación diferente.

Postales

La música que acompaña a las postales utilizadas para presentar a cada país participante fue escrita y producida por el músico electrónico británico Matthew Herbert . [32]

Las postales comenzaban con las palabras "Moskva 2009" (Москва 2009), la forma transliterada en ruso de decir "Moscú 2009". Continuó con la aparición de Miss Mundo 2008 , Ksenia Sukhinova de Rusia, y luego se mostró en animación por computadora un grupo de lugares famosos del país participante . La animación simularía un libro emergente , y cada "paso de página" mostraría diferentes puntos de referencia. Luego Sukhinova reapareció nuevamente, usando un sombrero que incluía todos los puntos de referencia mostrados (además de tener un peinado y maquillaje diferente cada vez) y una camiseta con los colores de la bandera del país respectivo. El video ruso tenía la apariencia exacta de Sukhinova que se muestra en la primera parte de cada video, y no se mostró ningún peinado diferente para la entrada rusa.

Luego, a la derecha apareció el logo del concurso de 2009 con el nombre y la bandera del país. Finalmente se mostró una frase en palabra rusa transliterada y su traducción al inglés. Las palabras mostradas fueron las siguientes, enumeradas en orden alfabético:

El viernes 30 de enero de 2009 se llevó a cabo en el Hotel Marriott Royal Aurora el sorteo para decidir qué países aparecerían en la primera o segunda semifinal. Los países participantes, excluyendo a los finalistas automáticos (Francia, Alemania, Rusia, el país anfitrión, España y el Reino Unido) se dividieron en seis bombos, según cómo habían votado esos países. De estos bombos, la mitad (o lo más cerca posible de la mitad) compitió en la primera semifinal el 12 de mayo de 2009. La otra mitad de ese bombo en particular competirá en la segunda semifinal el 14 de mayo de 2009. [33] [21] [22] El sorteo del orden de las semifinales, finales y el orden de votación tuvo lugar el 16 de marzo de 2009 en el Hotel Cosmos . [34] [2]

Sistema de votación

En respuesta a las continuas quejas de algunas emisoras sobre votos políticamente cargados, de vecindad y de la diáspora, la UER evaluó el procedimiento de votación utilizado en el concurso, con la posibilidad de un cambio en el sistema de votación para 2009. Los organizadores del concurso enviaron un cuestionario sobre el sistema de votación. a las emisoras participantes, y un grupo de referencia incorporó las respuestas a sus sugerencias para el formato del próximo año. [35] Telewizja Polska (TVP) , la emisora ​​polaca, sugirió que se introdujera en el Festival de la Canción de Eurovisión un jurado internacional similar al utilizado en el Festival de Danza de Eurovisión de 2008 para disminuir el impacto de la votación entre vecinos y poner más énfasis en el aspecto artístico. valor de la canción. [36] Un jurado daría lugar a menos votos políticos y de la diáspora, ya que los miembros del jurado, que deben ser expertos de la industria musical, también tendrían voz, además de "miembros aleatorios del público". [37]

Se decidió que para la final del concurso, los votos de cada país se decidirían mediante una combinación de 50% de resultados de televoto y 50% de jurado nacional . [38] El método de selección de los clasificados para las semifinales siguió siendo el mismo en su mayor parte, con nueve países, en lugar de los diez como en años anteriores, clasificándose en cada semifinal basándose en los resultados del televoto. [39] [40] Para el décimo clasificado de cada semifinal, se eligió para la final al país mejor clasificado en el marcador del jurado de respaldo que aún no se había clasificado. [38] En la final, cada país combinó sus 1–7, 8, 10,12 puntos del televoto con sus 1–7,8,10,12 puntos del jurado para crear su "cuadro de mando nacional". El país con más puntos recibió 12 puntos, el país en segundo lugar recibió 10 puntos, el país en tercer lugar recibió 8 puntos y así sucesivamente hasta 1 punto. Si surgía un empate, la canción con la posición de televoto más alta recibía la ventaja y el valor de puntos más alto. [38] Los jurados nacionales fueron eliminados originalmente del concurso a partir de 1997, y el televoto se volvió obligatorio para casi todos los participantes desde 2003.

Edgar Böhm, director de entretenimiento de la emisora ​​pública austriaca Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF), ha declarado que el formato de 2008 con dos semifinales "todavía incorpora una mezcla de países que serán políticamente favorecidos en el proceso de votación" y "que, a menos que La UER da una pauta clara sobre cómo se organizan las semifinales, Austria no participará en Moscú 2009." [41] [42] A pesar de la inclusión de la votación del jurado en la final, Austria no regresó al concurso en 2009. [43]

Jurados

"En cada uno de los 42 países participantes, un jurado compuesto por cinco profesionales de la industria musical (incluido un presidente del jurado) juzgará los trabajos que participarán en la final. Su decisión se basará en el segundo ensayo general. Los nombres de los miembros del jurado deben serán revelados por las respectivas emisoras participantes antes o durante la final.

Resultados de votación detallados

Hubo algunos fallos en el recuento total de 84 televotos de las dos semifinales y la gran final. [53] En la segunda semifinal, los retrasos de España y Albania en la transmisión del programa significaron que sus resultados fueron proporcionados por los jurados de respaldo. En la final, la votación por SMS fue el único método utilizado para proporcionar las puntuaciones de votación del público húngaro, ya que los televotos no pudieron contarse debido a un problema técnico, y se utilizó el voto del jurado de Noruega porque un error técnico del operador telefónico local hizo que los televotos y Textos SMS inutilizables. La UER anunció los resultados completos del jurado dividido y el televoto de la final en julio de 2009. [54]

Broadcasts

Most countries sent commentators to Moscow or commentated from their own country, in order to add insight to the participants and, if necessary, provide voting information.

International broadcasts

SBS also broadcast the Junior Eurovision and Eurovision Dance Contests for 2008 in the lead-up to the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest. The Eurovision Dance Contest 2008 was broadcast on SBS on Wednesday 6 May 2009 at 13:00 local time (03:00 UTC), while the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2008 was broadcast on Wednesday 13 May at 13:00 local time (03:00 UTC). SBS also broadcast the EBU produced Eurovision Countdown shows on 13, 14 and 15 May 2009 at 17:30 local time (07:30 UTC) before the semi-finals and final.[158]

Additionally, the official Eurovision Song Contest website also provided a live stream without commentary via the peer-to-peer medium Octoshape.[169]

Incidents

The 2009 contest experienced several controversies and incidents during its lead-up, including the interpretation of over Georgia's entry as an attack against the Russian prime minister,[170] conflicts between Armenia and Azerbaijan stemming from the inclusion of a monument in a disputed region to represent Armenia in a video introduction,[171] Spain's broadcaster showing a semi-final on tape delay after a scheduling conflict,[172] and protests over Russia's treatment of LGBT people to coincide with the contest.[173]

Armenia and Azerbaijan

Armenia and Azerbaijan experienced several conflicts during the 2009 contest.

After the first semi-final, representatives for Azerbaijan complained to the EBU over the introductory "postcard" preceding the Armenian entry, since the video clip had included a depiction of We Are Our Mountains, a monumental statue located in the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh republic, which is considered to be a de jure part of Azerbaijan.[171] As a result of the complaint, the statue was edited out during the finals.[174] However, Armenia retaliated during the results presentations by having the monument displayed on a video screen in the background, and having presenter Sirusho read the results from a clipboard decorated with a photo of the monument.[174]

There were also allegations that no number had been shown for the public to call and vote for Armenia's entry during the telecast in Azerbaijan. Representatives denied these allegations by showing a video that showed an untampered signal during the Armenian performance.[175] However, a subsequent EBU investigation found that the Azerbaijani broadcaster, Ictimai TV, had blurred out the number for Armenia's entry and distorted the TV signal when the Armenian contestants were performing on stage. The EBU fined Ictimai TV an undisclosed sum and is said to have threatened to exclude the broadcaster from the competition for up to three years if further infractions of the Eurovision Song Contest rules are made.[176]

In August 2009, a number of Azerbaijanis who had voted for Armenia's entry during the 2009 contest were summoned for questioning at the Ministry of National Security in Baku, during which they were accused of being "unpatriotic" and "a potential security threat". This incident initiated an EBU investigation that resulted in a change to the Eurovision rules to allow a country's participating broadcaster to be liable "for any disclosure of information which could be used to identify voters".[177] Despite the conflict, Armenia gave Azerbaijan 1 point in the final, the second and final time the two countries have exchanged points as of 2024 (Armenia previously gave 2 points to Azerbaijan in the semi-final of the 2008 contest).

Broadcast delays in Spain

Wikinews has related articles:
  • After uncertain day of Eurovision rehearsals, EBU will place sanctions on Spain and RTVE
  • Spain in danger of Eurovision disqualification after scheduling snafu at RTVE

Due to its commitments to broadcast the Madrid Open tennis tournament, Spanish broadcaster Televisión Española (TVE) broadcast the second semifinal on a tape delay on its channel La 2, approximately 66 minutes after the show began in Moscow.[178] As a result of the tape delay, the broadcaster also utilized a backup jury rather than televoting to decide its votes.[172][179] TVE had already switched to voting in the second semi-final due to another scheduling conflict, which had already sparked criticism from the neighboring Andorran and Portuguese delegations, who stated that a Spanish vote would have positively influenced their performance in the first semifinal.[179]

On the day following the semi-final, local newspaper El Mundo speculated that RTVE may have administered the delay on purpose in order to prevent Spain from winning the contest, claiming that the broadcaster would not be ready to host the contest if Spain were to win.[180] A statement in ABC had cited technical difficulties for the delay.[178]

After the semi-finals, the EBU announced that Spain would face sanctions for their actions in the contest, but also stated that their participation in the 2009 contest in Moscow would not be affected.[172] The Spanish entry, "La noche es para mí", did not fare well in the contest itself, placing 24th during the finals.[181]

Georgian entry disqualification and withdrawal

After being placed to compete in the first semi-final on 12 May, a national final was held in Georgia to select its entry. The selected entry, Stephane & 3G with "We Don't Wanna Put In", gained coverage and controversy due to perceived political connotations within its lyrics relating to Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.[182] The EBU rejected the song due to these political connotations, calling it a clear breach of the contest's rules. The EBU then asked the Georgian broadcaster Georgian Public Broadcaster (GPB) on 10 March to change either the lyrics of the song, or to select a new song to compete for the country.[183][184] GPB refused to change the lyrics or the song, claiming that the song contained no political references, and that the rejection by the EBU was due to political pressure from Russia. As such, GPB withdrew Georgia from the contest on 11 March.[11][185] The band admitted the political content of the song and their intention was just to embarrass Putin in Moscow.[170]

LGBT protests

Russian gay rights activist Nikolai Alekseev used the contest's presence in Russia as a platform for promoting the country's position on the rights of LGBT people, countering Moscow mayor Yury Luzhkov's view that homosexuality is satanic.[186] Alekseev announced that the 2009 edition of Moscow Pride, the city's annual gay pride parade, would coincide with the finals on 16 May, the day before the International Day Against Homophobia. The parade was also renamed "Slavic Pride", to promote gay rights and culture across the entire Slavic region of Europe.[187] The parade was denied authorisation by Moscow officials on the basis that it would "destroy morals in society"[173] and statements were issued stating that protesters would be treated "toughly",[188] and that "tough measures" would be faced by anyone joining the march.[189]

The rally was broken up by Moscow police, and 20 protesters were arrested including Nikolai Alekseev[173] and human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell, who exclaimed that "this shows the Russian people are not free" as he was taken away by police.[190] Sweden's representative Malena Ernman supported the cause saying that she is not homosexual herself but would be proud to call herself gay to support her fans, stating that she was sad that the Moscow government would not allow a "tribute to love" to occur.[191] The winner of the contest, Norway's Alexander Rybak, also referred to the controversy in an interview when he called the Eurovision Song Contest itself the "biggest gay parade".[192]

The Dutch group De Toppers made news by member Gordon threatening to boycott the final if the gay parade was violently beaten down. However, the group's failure to qualify for the final left this threat redundant.

Other awards

In addition to the main winner's trophy, the Marcel Bezençon Awards and the Barbara Dex Award were contested during the 2009 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.[193] The awards are divided into three categories: the Artistic Award, the Composers Award, and the Press Award.[194]

OGAE

OGAE, an organisation of over forty Eurovision Song Contest fan clubs across Europe and beyond, conducts an annual voting poll first held in 2002 as the Marcel Bezençon Fan Award. After all votes were cast, the top-ranked entry in the 2009 poll was also the winner of the contest, Norway's "Fairytale" performed by Alexander Rybak; the top five results are shown below.[195][196][197]

Barbara Dex Award

The Barbara Dex Award is a humorous fan award given to the worst dressed artist each year. Named after Belgium's representative who came last in the 1993 contest, wearing her self-designed dress, the award was handed by the fansite House of Eurovision from 1997 to 2016 and is being carried out by the fansite songfestival.be since 2017.

Official album

Cover art of the official album

Eurovision Song Contest: Moscow 2009 was the official compilation album of the 2009 contest, put together by the European Broadcasting Union and released by EMI Records and CMC International on 11 May 2009. The album featured all 42 songs that entered in the 2009 contest, including the semi-finalists that failed to qualify into the grand final.[198]
