That said I do think the overall production do need to put a few seconds into the running order around the voting packages to allow the local commentators to say what they need to say without either talking over the hosts or the recap.
One of the most poignant parts of the show was Julia in the audience with the Ukrainian fans speaking in her mother tongue hyping up the crowd and Mel not interrupting once. Mel was also complementary about Julia when she did her final link with the main presenters in Ukrainian.
