I'm sure he must be, last year will have been the first year they were eligible to enter and Frans (who I assume was the youngest last year? Just checked a few other of the young ones) was born December 1998.

 

Think I counted seven this year that are younger than me.

Massively revamped Eurovision.tv is live but it has meant the image flag links I use all over this forum have started to break as the new site uses a new flag design!!!1 And the new flags aren't even copy-able yet, hopefully they will be soon :o

And this site is too old that it won't display Unicode emojis as otherwise I can use flag emojis like I do on other websites! :( We need Phil to add some official Buzzjack flag emoticons, this is desperate times!

It's devastating :snif:

 

Impressive stuff! I think my only criticism of probably the entire contest last year was that the way the LED screens were chopped up and angled wasn't quite to my taste, I've always preferred flat screens like in 2011 or 2015. This massive LED screen is perfect for my tastes and the structure in the middle will hopefully avoid it all being too massive.

 

Must be challenging the likes of 2009, 2011 and 2014 in regards to being the biggest LED screens we've seen.

 

Interesting!

ONUKA is the grand final's interval act, or maybe one of several~
