Sweden sounds much better than the semi-finals.

I am loving Sweden cos I have always wanted Bats for Lashes to do a straight dance track.

A few times in the past, countries have won and then couldn't afford to host. Luxembourg won in 1973 (for the second year running?) and the 1974 contest was hosted in the UK.

I actually don't like this Swedish one.

Spain's singer looks constipated and I'm not surprised. "No pressure, but don't win, OK?"

Germany's song has 'Jamie Cullum joint' written all over it.
― Radical Jedward (snoball), Saturday, 26 May 2012 20:32 (eleven years ago) link
Agreed. Germany is diabolical.
― Guilty_Boksen, Saturday, 26 May 2012 20:33 (eleven years ago) link
I quite liked Spain. Germany is pretty awful though, like a cheap version of The Script. Jamie Cullum you say?
― I must be old, I recognise nobody in ITV2 idents (aldo), Saturday, 26 May 2012 20:33 (eleven years ago) link
Fun fact: you can pretty much sing the chorus of last year's winner on top of this German one

xp he's co-writer

This performance would be better if he a) stopped grinning, and b) actually stands still while singing the line 'standing still'.

Moldova's dancers do a homage to the TISWAS 'dying fly' dance.
