Love how all the videos are all now showing as private. BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD hopefully.

I feel like they might as well go the fun/novelty route if they're destined to NQ either way. I'm here for Superman as long as he wears a superhero costume on stage. Circles and Flowers of Sorrow aren't too bad, any of these will need quite a revamp but I think they're better than either of Vasil's offerings tbh.

Feel like I've only heard of Lamar and the two connected to Drag Race but oh well, will still give it a chance.

Rooting for Ay Mama to get the ticket to Turin but SloMo was the best from last night so very pleased with that result and wouldn't mind at all if that gets sent!

What an exciting men's QF going on at the moment to make up for the very one sided Barty match. Hoping for a Medvedev vs Nadal final, it would be a win either way. Nadal could edge ahead of Djokovic on slam wins, or Daniil could claim #1 in the rankings (? - late next month once points from last year are dropped). Both outcomes would be the icing on the cake for the Novax saga.

You can tell how far back this was filmed, shutting down Judi on the Strictly question looks so odd now :lol: Surely Dermot would've been the better option here :heehee: Wasn't here for the Jade Ewen erasure last week

Yeah I think it's best to try and erase all knowledge of Miles and his song, like Colm did in his post above (intentional or not :D)

Theme art and slogan have been revealed: "The Sound of Beauty"

Dan Evans out in the third round in straight sets, well who would've expected him to be the last Brit standing in the first place even if the second round was handed to him

1. Rachel 2. Janet 3. Brooke This is my top 3 with all the songs out now. Patrick seems to have some fans but I really don't understand why. Brooke may be the most modern but there's something about the chorus that doesn't quite do it for me which is why I'd just love them to go the schlager route.

Shame for Emma but I think she did well to take it to a decider and win as many games as she did given the hand blister that was holding her back for most of the match. Well done to Danka Kovinic for making her first third round.

I've subscribed to a month of Discovery+ in order to watch what I can of the Australian Open (any matches still happening from about 8am UK time, although a Brit being in action may have me getting up an hour or so earlier :P) - never did I think 12 months ago that I'd be subscribing to anything sports related :lol: May come in useful to watch some of the Olympics next month too.

Norway were clearly on crack on Saturday but hopefully that's good news for "Give That Wolf a Banana" if it stays that way until the final. I mean, "Ecstasy" wasn't as good as the three best songs from heat 1 last year, but it was still clearly head and shoulders above the other tracks in this heat.

Ireland scouring the bins outside of SVT HQ looking for scraps is something I'm on board with.

36 songs will be competing across two semi-finals and a final, taking place 3rd-5th March.

I've only checked out three of these so far but I've never needed a song to win a selection so badly as Subwoolfer

Aminata is back in Supernova as a participant, Markus Riva is hoping he'll get his Samanta moment but the one to really watch in this NF line-up is this environmental anthem Bermudu Divstūris – BAD Markus Riva – If you’re gonna love me Aminata – I’m letting you go BUJĀNS – He, She, You & Me Citi Zēni – Eat Your Salad Inspo – A Happy Place Miks Dukurs – First Love Beatrise Heislere – On the way home the COCO’NUTS – In and out of the dark KATŌ – Promises Elīna Gluzunova – Es pabiju tur Mēs Jūs Mīlam – Rich Itch Linda Rušeniece – Pay My Own Bills RAUM – Plans Zelma – How Patriks Peterson – Can’t Get You Outta My Head I think this is a lesson that Latvia just ALWAYS need to sing about food. It's a winning combo.

Vladana has been announced as their artist, with her song to be revealed in the coming weeks.

We're seeing out the year with multiple entries, so it's time to start posting our exact same top 3s! Very good 01 Albania: Ronela Hajati - Sekret 02 Czech Republic: We Are Domi - Lights Off Please have another think before the submission deadline 03 Bulgaria: Intelligent Music Project - Intention

Alban could've got a '17th in the final' standard Albanian result but I feel like that would've been the ceiling for him and watching last night it was making me think of "Qami" (Armenia 2018) so maybe even that wouldn't have been guaranteed, I don't think it'll be a big loss for Albania. Hopefully Sekret has more potential pay-off, but we'll have to see what the rest of the field ends up being like and hope that female bops don't crowd each other out again.

It's a 100% success rate in my books at least Theje was fine but very Albania by numbers, surprised but very pleased they've gone a slightly different route. Really liked the little bits of English that were part of the performance tonight. Definitely the most enthusiastic I've been about an Albanian entry since 2015, but beyond that I think it's my favourite from them since 2009 even. Hope it pays off and they get a result at least a bit better than their average.

Will be watching and voting for Emma, hope there's no surprise upset :P

YASSSS, what a bop, definitely the best of the bunch
