bit of a by-the-numbers Eurobanger from Sweden imo

Yeah, do not fucking care

this is more like it

Haha this is great.

again i wanted it to go up a notch but at least it had plenty of personality

This Italian guy is extremely Italian looking.

I might be in the minority, but I think Sweden's entry. "It's not as good as Euphoria was", it's great and Loreen is great and it's plenty good enough to win.

I thought her performance in the semifinals was better though (she was, I don't know, too strained and teetering on the edge tonight), which leaves the door open for a bunch of other contenders.

This Italian entry is extemely Italian sounding.

“Duje” is my favourite by a million miles. that bit of drill bass at the start of the breakdown is so fucking good

i don't know if i loved that Italy song but it was really good and he sang v well

No idea what the Italian song is about but it sounds like an actually well constructed song rather than a bunch of flash stuck together with sticky tape for Eurovision.

italy are usually terrible imo (even tho others seem to like them) but that was ok if you like that sort of thing

Nice that she bothered to play the piano for a few seconds.

well Estonia was a palate cleanser i guess

This is how he wins

Marco Mengoni, the singer from ITALY, sent out this tweet asking for votes a few hours ago. No comment.https://t.co/YlqrcoiCBD

Estonia sounds a bit like a Bond movie theme.

Italy is always a very yr da* sits up approvingly and says “”now THAT is a song” song.

*not my da, he loves his pop

YES

omg this Finland song took a wonderful twist

Poptimism is alive and kicking in Finland.

ok that's my favourite so far and i appreciate it stayed just on the right side of novelty

nice appendix scar

This is getting at least two of my votes

angry Czech rapping i am very much here for you

okay, I’m fully loving “Cha cha” now. may it finish first.

two bangers in a row, now we got a show

Finland - Czecho is best run of songs of the night xp

the last 12 months have only intensified my dislike of Sam Ryder btw

Australia needs to die now

"Sam Ryder"

Sadly I am going to get to know who the fuck that is tonight.

xp hahaha i was trying to work out how to tactfully say that

Synthwave needs to get in the bin.

In particular Comedy Synthwave.

VIBES ALERT

really liked that Armenian song

do love a flute riff

Wasn't feeling that or Belgium.

Moldovia is more like it.

That = Armenia.

“Duje” is my favourite by a million miles

(altho his vocal was a bit shaky compared to the semi)

norway sounds like one of the newer Marina and the Diamonds so far

Norway was dece, Ukraine wasn't

Oh god Germany fuck off

Didn't care for Ukraine but here is some background.

Ukraine selected their entry in Dec in a national final broadcast from a literal bomb shelter, just in case.

Nigerian immigrant Jimoh Augustus Kehinde and his band Tvorchi won the televote, which is a *big deal* for a country for Ukraine, and honestly puts W Europe to shame.

Germany is capable of getting 0 votes yet again.

This Germany song might be alright if somebody who wasn't these was doing it

Ukraine song was interesting at least.
