First proper MOMENT of the night, yes it’s basically the second Swedish entry but it’s amazing

Belgium definitely not sounding as good as he did in the semi, can see that properly getting lost in the shuffle

Azerbaijan is fine, it just takes a bit too long to build

Lithuania is quickly becoming one of my favourites of the year, it’s a very specific vibe

I still hate it. They perform it well, but it’s just an awful song

Netherlands is amazing, she really sells it so well

Spain definitely benefits massively from the running order, Chanel manages to take a 5/10 song and raise is enormously

How would straight white men cope??!

That’s the least awful that’s sounded all week

Laura has really dialled up the Idina tonight

Armenia by far the best so far, she did really well there

Norway is everything I hate about Eurovision. It does it all very “well” insofar as it can. Obviously going to do very well.

France really is a dreadful racket

This is sounding even worse - plus he has a very unpleasant look/vibe

Have they dialled down the backing vocals/tracks tonight - everything so far sounds different

Romania definitely sounded a bit better tonight, but it’s still my cuppa

Czech Republic definitely sounding a lot more strained than Thursday

Sadly I also can’t see beyond a Ukraine win, I just wish it was with a song I didn’t hate.

On paper 22nd is exactly the spot I wanted for Sam, however I was hoping we wouldn’t be surrounded by such big songs (for varying reasons). I think that draw bodes very well for Sweden. And probably confirms a Ukraine win (ugh)

Really quite shit results there, lost nearly all the songs I really like (some not a surprise)

Did NOT see Serbia pulling that out over those others

This is a bit of a clusterf*** results wise

Not one of the hosts quite GETS what they’re supposed to be doing here

Aserjeban probably shouldn’t have made it
