Ollie is by far the best!

Hopefully a couple of countries won’t win just because of sympathy. If they can manage to enter I’m sure they can expect it to be fair.

You can never be sure with Eurovision though!

Wow. Zero. He did not deserve that. I wonder if the public didn’t get the staging or like the choreography.

MotivationalEater · 11/05/2024 23:38

0 public points!!! It was awful but not the worst!

Finland was like watching Will Ferrell do Eurovision 😂

Loreen didn't sing her winning song from last year though? Very odd.

We loved Armenia! So boppy and fun, the singer's enthusiasm was infectious.

Germany, Italy and Sweden too!

Watching Loeen on that stool is making me queasy 🫣

I completely agree. I just want her to get down.
Seriously impressed by her abs though!

Humdingerydoo · 11/05/2024 22:48

I'm conflicted. On the one hand I want Finland to win because that was the most Eurovision thing I've ever seen. Absolute perfection! But then I also think Spain deserves to win because a) it's a great, catchy song but also b) those dancers deserve the win for doing the splits in thongs and corsets.

DanielGault · 11/05/2024 22:47

Didn't realise she was strapped in 🤣

Latvia, Croatia, Cyprus for me. Ollie is a thumbs down I’m afraid.

IBegYourBiggestPardon · 11/05/2024 22:41

Oops i forgot Latvia.

OK Finland is my favourite so far, could not stop laughing.

ursuslemonade · 11/05/2024 22:36

Loved Greece, Croatia and Estonia. Listened to them all loads of times already.

PointWriter · 11/05/2024 22:33

Shame ABBA couldn't be arsed.

IBegYourBiggestPardon · 11/05/2024 22:31

Estonia
Israel
Ukraine
Germany
France are the ones I liked.

Iblinkedandiamold · 11/05/2024 22:30

There are a few songs I thought were really good. Olly was one of my favourites but I love him anyway. He was much much better than he was in the preview in the semis.
I did not like our (Ireland's) entry song wise but loved the preformance.
Finland just cheered me up no end.
I actually voted this year for Olly and for Germany.

CelesteCunningham · 11/05/2024 22:29

Come on Ireland Grin 🇮🇪🧙

Beezknees · 11/05/2024 22:29

I prefer Croatia and Norway.

leaflywren · 11/05/2024 22:23

awful, sorry. why the need to be so unnecessarily sexualised? I think they watched finland from last year and based the look on that.

Finland this year... my fave so far! (No I'm not finnish!)

It’s the same old rubbish that’s been done to death. They do it for the shock factor but it’s so boring.😴

DanielGault · 11/05/2024 22:28

Avatars are weird 😬

TooBigForMyBoots · 11/05/2024 22:27

The staging was amazing. The song was OK. But Ollie's vocals were weak.
