Who else is in love with Sy?

The title track is great.

All booked - Tuesday to Monday. Yay!

is that Rumours total figure correct?

Having watched the public vote a few times again I feel that Norway had significant a moment to warrant the way the votes were read out.

OMG Thanks guys. This is really great information on what we should do and when we should do it. :dancing:

As next year's contest will be in the Netherlands, my self and my mates are thinking about going over for some of the celebrations. Does anyone here have any advice from their own experience of going to the host city of previous competitions? When is it a good idea to start looking for accommodation? Should we book any events? Will there be plenty of unofficial stuff going on? Is it worth going over for the full week? Simon

VchbSEfamI8 This is an eye opener. I have learned so much about the inner workings of Eurovision this year despite having watched it since 2000.

Are there even 5 people living in San Marino?

I was close to tears at the performance. I do think she could have held the melody closer to the studio version, though.

Best song for me. Although, Soldi has been closing in fast today.

Agreed. The way they had been doing it was great. I didn't think they were able to add more tension but they did.

I get you now. What I took from your statement, and I was reading between the lines, is that : the voting system is new. It will take some time to bed down, so to speak and then the gap will get smaller between the last and second last place. Which I could not figure out the possible reasons for, in my head. Thanks for the detailed answer.

I don't follow the logic here. How do you mean?

:wub: :wub: Netherlands song is so overrated but at least it wasn't sodden North Macedonia. What a non-song that was. Italy did well so I am pleased with that but it would have been a much better winner. Shocked at how low Australia was.

My pre-performance ranking Brilliant and I would be so delighted if it won 1 Slovenia: Zala Kralj & Gašper Šantl - Sebi 2 Italy: Mahmood - Soldi Very good 3 Russia: Sergey Lazarev - Scream Quite good 4 Australia: Kate Miller-Heidke - Zero Gravity 5 Greece: Katerine Duska - Better Love Good 6 Czech Republic: Lake Malawi - Friend Of A Friend 7 Cyprus: Tamta - Replay 8 The Netherlands: Duncan Laurence - Arcade 9 Serbia: Nevena Božović - Kruna 10 Malta: Michela - Chameleon Ok 11 Norway: KEiiNO - Spirit In The Sky 12 Iceland: Hatari - Hatrið Mun Sigra Awful 13 North Macedonia: Tamara Todevska - Proud 14 Sweden: John Lundvik - Too Late For Love 15 Belarus: Zena - Like It 16 Azerbaijan: Chingiz - Truth 17 San Marino: Serhat - Say Na Na Na 18 United Kingdom: Michael Rice - Bigger Than Us 19 Estonia: Victor Crone - Storm 20 Switzerland: Luca Hänni - She Got Me 21 Albania: Jonida Maliqi - Ktheju Tokës 22 Denmark: Leonora - Love Is Forever 23 France: Bilal Hassani - Roi 24 Spain: Miki - La Venda 25 Germany: S!sters - Sister 26 Israel: Kobi Marimi - Home

Oh, I only just saw that. His answer was uncalled for, really. You're totally right.

The performance wasn't amazing at the time but I have watched it a lot over the last few days (which is something that I understand not many non-supporters would do) but the fragility of the vocals gets over-shone by the sense of intimacy. I actually found it dull the first time but all the re-caps and reprises during the semi-final helped me notice the music more than the vocals. It may well be outside the top 20 tonight. Personally, I think I've found my favourite ever Eurovision song.

Yep. I had my team check.

Confused about Slovenia not being more popular. It's the most magical song that has been in the contest in years.

Euphoria is so dated now.

Australia will walk this, and I am not here for that.

Baffled by Netherlands being a favourite. I'd put money on Australia.

Lol at Switzerland and Malta with exactly the same beat.
