Semi Final one looks like the one to watch and the harder one to qualify from.

For all the nerds the big five and Ukrainian have had their draw for the Grand Final:
In the first half are France, Spain and Italy (positions to be decided on Friday)
In the second half are Germany (position to be decided), Ukrainian 19th and UK 26th (confirmed positions).

Yy to The Winner Takes it All.

I didn’t like it….

Missed most of that. Gave me 90's dance vibes which is good.

It's those two blokes from the detectorists
Simon and Garfunkel

What the fuck's wrong with The Wombles? I'd be delighted if they were the interval act. Better than Rita bloody Ora, anyway.

So far, so seventies

Just checked in the break and yep, I recognised Hannah Waddingham from the 'Gram because I follow Hannah Martin....

Can’t see Loreen not finishing in the top 5

Loreen was good... but I kept waiting for them to press the button if you know what I mean??

It just didn't have the grab of euphoria.

I like the wombles too
Recycling long before the council did

It's the bloke off Horrible Histories.

Stupid Deaths .

This was really boring

Sixpence none the richer.
KISS MEE!!!!

These two are cute!

Swing Your Pants, but 2023 Swing Your Pants.

It’s Simon & Garfunkel from The Dectorists 🤣

Spot on.

Beatles outfits
Although the burgundy suits him

Yes, how insulting to Riverdance. I'll be muting Rita Ora thank you very much.

Talent Night in School...

Yes - we've just been saying, "it's like a 90s pop song"

Is it baileys o’clock cheers sir Terry yet?

They're not The Proclaimers, are they?

Perms are back :(

Their hairstyle seems to be inspired by Hobbits from the LoTR films
