I did not like France’s entry at first, but now it’s in my top 5.

How about you?!

I do think France is a grower. I remember finding it 'okay' on first listen, though ended up listening to it over and over that evening and it really grew on me and never fell out of my top 2.

Biggest grower I think has been Albania given it rose from 43 to just outside my top 10.

Lithuania, Moldova and Slovenia. Disliked them all at first but was rooting for them to do well by the time the final came around.

So many of them but I'd be inclined to single out Romania and Norway. Didn't care for Romania at all when it was chosen but 2-3 weeks before the contest, something clicked and I really appreciate it now. Norway, I thought it was laughably shite when I first heard it but I can no longer deny how f***ing catchy it is, can't resist dancing and singing along. Not ashamed to enjoy it, especially now there isn't the worry that it could win.

Storms deserves an honourable mention, it was only about my 4th favourite in the selection but now I'm so proud and pleased that SuRie was our entry. The song itself isn't that special, but it's very catchy and it ended up being the performance of the night for me.

SuRie and Australia were the 2 that grew on me the most over Eurovision week.

Probably Italy for me, didn't actually break my top 10 but I HATED it at first (although I was just bitter over Annalisa probs ), and it ended up just outside getting points for me. The message was stunning

Bulgaria. I didn't rate it at first but now it would be top 10.

Also, Norway grew on me a lot.

Fuego and Storm (she smashed it even with the interruption by that complete c*ockhead) though I really liked the former at least but now I’m obsessed with it. Hungary is another one too actually.

Norway just got worse for me each time unfortunately, the live performance had me cringing something chronic

I have to echo Storm. I thought it was awful when I first heard it but her performance was magnificent. It was the song you could hear the crowd the loudest on at home so I think that's a pretty good summary of how good the performance was. That it got better after the cockhead was just the icing on the cake.

SuRie was MUCH better after the stage invasion. If only she'd brought that defiance and fighting spirit from the start...

Saara Aalto's is the one that's grown on me the most so far; Fuego I liked from the off and is still growing too, probably my fave of the year.
