There is something about Rylan that keeps making me think of Ming the Merciless.

I'm am totally convinced the female presenter is a Roald Dahl witch, and is wearing a wig.

Looks like Chanel from Spain will be spangly of knickers on Thursday, with spangly chaps, of both types.

This was Italy’s 2020 entry. For the Eurovision that never happened.

Aw, that is nice

This is nice. Very soothing

Audience sing along.

It's a shame for the acts that didn't get to perform in 2020.

I swear there were rumours the lead singer had passed away at some point in the last few years.

Huge fan as a teen, was actually disappointed at how much Jezebel sounds like In The Shadows!

Same here. DD was amused I actually knew of them (have a CD somewhere).

I like this 'Fai Rumore'.

I'm glad he has got his moment. This is a good song.

Rylan

This must be such a high for him after 2020's cancellation

Red see- big Ming vibes

That shade of pink really doesn't suit anyone, imo.

Even a child.

Miss hot pink outfit looks to have Polymer clay rings on.
They swamped her fingers!

So France effectively singing in equivalent of Welsh. (I keep saying we should be brave and try this, so will be interesting to see how they do)

I like the sparkles on the trousers. Suits him

Oh, French entry in Breton. Cool. Vive la Breizh!

Italy don’t want to win two years running, I see.

No entry in French this year.

Italy is the 2nd Fav.

Mahmood was in it a couple of years back with 'Soldi'

Mahmood is so out of tune in this clip!

I've really enjoyed this being presented by real Eurovision fans for the Beeb instead of constant piss-taking.

Second favourite (after Ukraine) according to the bookies.

The French entry reminds me a little of the immortal Hatari from a few years back.
