Eurovision viewers have complained 'bumpy' camerawork 'overshadowed' Madonna’s iconic performance in Tel Aviv.
More than 200 million people tuned in to watch the Queen of Pop’s first ever Eurovision performance, but were soon left outraged by the camera repeatedly slipping out of position leaving her out of shot.
The ten-minute set began with her iconic 1989 hit Like A Prayer, but the bumpy camerawork saw the performance talked about for unexpected reasons.
As Madonna sang “in the midnight hour, I can feel your power”, the camera suddenly panned, leaving the star out of shot.
A few moments later, it refocused on her pointing to her choir, having chopped out vitals parts of her show-stopping performance.
One viewer took to Twitter to say: “What’s going on with the camera work? #Madonna #Eurovision”, while another ranted: “What the f*** is happening with the camera guy?”
Others slammed the coverage as “shoddy”, while another ranted that even Madonna was not “immune” from poor production standards.
The star was joined on stage by rapper Quavo as they performed their brand new single “Future”.
Madonna’s performance in Tel Aviv also bordered on the controversial, with a dancer donning a Palestinian flag, later followed by two other dancers with Israeli and Palestinian flags on their backs embracing.
Following calls for her to boycott the Israel show, she told Reuters, she said: “I’ll never stop playing music to suit someone’s political agenda.”
