Viewers of 2025 lodged a complaint with the BBC over 's performance just moments into the grand final. The talk show icon has been the voice of Eurovision for the BBC since 2009, when he stepped into Terry Wogan's shoes.
Over the past 16 years, viewers have grown fond of Graham's candid commentary style, with the Irishman never shying away from expressing his true feelings about the various acts, reports the Manchester Evening News. With Scott Mills and Rylan Clark covering the two semi-finals earlier in the week, Graham returned to the commentary booth to narrate all the action from Switzerland's St Jakobshalle in Basel.
Following a video montage of extreme sportspeople delivering the glass microphone trophy to the arena, Graham was raring to go. Anticipating the UK's Remember Monday's performance, Graham hinted that Celine Dion might make a surprise appearance later in the evening.
Despite Graham's rapid-fire jokes and witty remarks from the get-go, his microphone seemed quiet, making it difficult to hear him at times.
Fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, urging the BBC to increase the volume on Graham's microphone as they were having trouble hearing him.
Viewers tuning in for the Eurovision Song Contest took to Twitter to express their difficulties with the sound quality, particularly concerning commentator Graham Norton's audio levels. @smilelots12 reached out with a public plea to "@BBCOne @TheGNShow #Eurovision please can you turn up the volume on Graham Norton? Really hard to hear him."
Adding to the chorus of complaints, @ma777ddy questioned: "What's up with the volume, or is my phone and tv broken #eurovision."
Further sounds of dissatisfaction came from @Beth92_lfc who suggested, "I think they need to higher the volume up on Graham Norton's microphone. #Eurovision." while @tonythesheep echoed the sentiment, querying "Anyone else not hear #grahamnorton on #bbc for the #Eurovision and his quips? @BBCOne."
Enthusiasm for Norton's wit was clear as scattymum1 shared, "Does anyone else watch Eurovision primarily for Graham Norton's commentary? He is a legend. If Celine Dion appears he may well expire, but he will die happy #Eurovision #ESC2025 #grahamnorton."
