Always here for a bit of mid 00s sounding female pop rock, it’s not as good as last year sadly but one of the best tonight

Croatia have been plugging away sending “almost there” entries for the last few years, this continues that trend

Liking Portugal for the first time in about a DECADE

If I never hear this again it will be too soon, but sadly I fear that’s wishful thinking 0/10

This is giving me 5,6,7,8 but in the 7th circle of hell vibes

That’s was fantastic, really strong song, performed very very well

This has a really nice “classic” rock vibe to it, which is about the only sort of rock I care for so definitely here for this

At least if this wins it will overtake Amar Pelos Dois as my least favourite winner. Which is something.

This is not really working on any level, it’s all very low key and the staging (and atrocious camera work) is really awkward. Still, he’s cute and the suits are lovely so there’s that.

Nice suits, beautiful suits

It’s nice enough, but he’s quite unappealing (in a way I can’t quite pinpoint)

I love Lithuania, even if I’m not living for the split screen bits.

Latvia is absolutely abysmal and everything I hate about what that sort of Eurovision entry, which means it’s bound to do well

This pairing is not exactly an auspicious start

Not loving the song at all, but she at least scores a few marks for BRINGING IT

Loving the Madonna circa 1990 (if she shopped exclusively in Lidl) styling for Albania

Updated the opening post with the votes - 12 in so far.

I thought 22 was good when I managed that last year, the idea of 3 plus YEARS without a DNQ is mad.

Yehesi and Terra Avium Fresh from landing the ultimate wooden spoon last month, they almost made the final this time around, but just miss out... 21 Trifoski (35 Points)

Republique d’Askorza and Summericia losing out in this trio is... 22 Thelonia (34 Points)

So, once we again we are left with 4 places in the final, and 6 songs. 2 will make it from each trio. Republoque d’Askroza v Thelonia v Summericia Yehesi v Terra Avium v Trifoski

The rarest of things up next, a tolerable Persephonia entry... Persephonia off to the final alongside... Greenfroze but left behind we say farewell to... 23 Aelandor (32 Points)

Sailing into the final... Tartford and St Burbia also missing out this month, we say goodbye to... 24 Utopia (30 Points)
