LexC

Currently deciding between two songs very much in the same suitably camp genre

BJSC, Get in the car - New Lexico's votes are in!

Oops forgot to vote lol - not that it would have made any difference to my chances but I was very much pulling out a potential from the vaults as my first choice was already taken. Fair enough to take the L on this one, promise I'll vote in the final (maybe even on time as well!)

Well thank f*** for that for the second year in a row We can't have another year with Israel in the split screen next year please

This feels like Israel are keeping too high up in the jury points to be properly out of the race. I'm starting to get nervous...

Really think we could do with cutting down the final by half an hour or so, like why is it after midnight for most of Europe and we haven't even started the jury voting?

All ten of my votes went to Australia

Finland is mesmerising, should really be them, Australia and Bulgaria as the top three

Australia a class above the rest, hope the public vote pays it the respect it deserves!

These hosts really are the worst in quite a long time.

Pre-show predictions (wildly inaccurate as usual) 01 Australia 02 Finland 03 Bulgaria 04 Greece 05 Israel 06 Italy 07 Romania 08 Moldova 09 Ukraine 10 Denmark 11 France 12 Czechia 13 Sweden 14 Croatia 15 Albania 16 Poland 17 Serbia 18 Lithuania 19 Malta 20 Cyprus 21 Norway 22 Germany 23 United Kingdom 24 Belgium 25 Austria

Well, here we are folks. As the third Eurovision season infused with controversy reaches its conclusion tonight, will our story end in a fairytale happy ending or devastating tragedy? Enjoy the show and, as always, love love peace peace (and f**k u israel).

I was worried we were in for a shock at the end there but glad to say I called all ten of those finalists and that Cyprus had enough public votes to still go through.

My qualifiers prediction SAFE Australia Denmark Bulgaria Romania Ukraine SOLID Albania Norway BORDERLINE Malta Czechia Cyprus BORDERLINE OUT Switzerland OUT Latvia Armenia Luxembourg Azerbaijan

Austria going for the hosting nul points again!

Hoping the juries don't murder Cyprus because we need that on Saturday, bum notes and all

BBC saving us from the Austrian filler act...by just playing the UK music video.

For those non-boycotters watching tonight from 21:00 CET. Enjoy some stanning of Delta Goodrem (both delulu and non-delulu) and annual tradition of cringing at the UK entry and everything in between.

That's pretty expected as qualifiers go, all the essentials got through and I reckon Belgium must have snuck in at 10th over Estonia.

For the love of god, please don't attempt a musical comedy sketch at a Eurovision Semi-Final unless you're Edward af Silen.

I think we're losing Portugal, Georgia, Montenegro, Belgium and San Marino tonight.

Lithuania made me laugh it was so "Art College esoteric"

The German song is honestly what you'd get if you asked ChatGPT to write an uptempo girlbop. Why do I still unironically love it despite myself though?

My parents are loving Estonia - feel like they've got a decent chance of qualifying with that as the one "nice" song that goes through in tenth each year

Montenegro might be screwed coming after Finland...and whatever the hell that staging was!
