Cornelia direkt till Turin! But Klara wouldn't be a bad shout and I feel the studio version is going to be better, but based on the performances, this was sewn up 3 weeks ago.

And now all 3 Russian broadcasters have left the EBU, so, bye.

EBU finally seeing sense and have announced Russia will not compete in Turin.

So it's another skandal as many people believe the 16-29 results were wrong for Lisa and Tribe Friday, and looking at the results table, yeah, this is a big balls up.

Fresh from Sanremo, Achille Lauro is the winner with 'Stripper' u8whtINq4mA

There's potential here, wouldn't say I'm madly in love with it but maybe the studio version will sway me.

Mia Dimšić wins Dora with 'Guilty Pleasure' BktvH0PYJDM Hadn't listened to any of the Dora entries yet, this is very middle of the road so surprised to see it smash both the jury and televote in Croatia.

4mskt9-vaME If you think in the era of TikTok and The Masked Singer this isn't coming top 5, potentially top 3 on the televote then honey, you've got a big storm coming. The juries on the other hand.

This was one of the most meh heats of Melfest I've ever seen. Only really cared for Cazzi Opeia and even that was a cute 7/10. I'm glad Faith managed to nab a spot in the final however, well deserved after the robbery of 'Crying Rivers' and I think the song might grow on me. Linda was a disappointing mess. And the others just didn't even register. Still all about Cornelia and Tone for me.

Gutting, though I understand her reasoning behind it. I saw someone say on Twitter that the last entry to win Vidbir and go to Eurovision was 'Under The Ladder'...

The finalists are (running order TBA): Elsie Bay - Death Of Us Christian Ingebrigtsen - Wonder Of The World NorthKid - Someone Subwoolfer - Give That Wolf A Banana Anna-Lisa Kumoji - Queen Bees Frode Vassel - Black Flowers Farida - Dangerous Oda Gondrosen - Hammer Of Thor Sofi Fjellvang - Made Of Glass Maria Mohn - Fly Hopefully wolf supremacy reigns in Norge next weekend!

Romania continuing on in her flop era.

EAT YOUR SALAD WON

Country is really not my genre, however Stefan is a tasty piece so I will accept the trade-off.

'Sentimentai' just seems to plod along and without the televote 12s of Ireland and the UK, Lithuania could be in trouble this year. Their first Lithuanian language entry since 1994 though, so yay for that.

That scoreboard was the most pointless thing ever, where was the tension, what was the point. So many questions. At least Tone went through AND we get her song tonight *.*

The song feels very 'Drag Race contestant writes a verse to Swish Swish', but Michael is excellent and the main selling point of this for me.

Not getting the muted response to this here, I think it's absolutely stunning and blows everything else selected so far out of the water in terms of winning potential.

The 10 finalists are: Andrei Zevakin ft. Grete Paia - Mis nüüd saab Anna Sahlene - Champion Black Velvet - Sandra Elina Nechayeva - Remedy Elysa - Fire Jaagup Tuisk - Kui vaid Mininmal Wind ft. Elisabeth Tiffany - What To Make Of This Ott Lepland - Aovalguses Stefan - Hope Stig Rästa - Interstellar 7oDdPiJuxjM

Xx8dewrt1y4 I mean it would be their best entry in years, don't let me down Latvia!

Someone give that wolf a ticket to Turin *.* h_xpkivEDOo
