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).

Alesha is a very talented singer, rapper, and dancer TBF

It can't be worse can it???

Your woman who makes the dresses for My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding has been busy

Saturday nights fillers are going to be terrible arnt they ?
I just hope the scoring is quicker than last year
It went on for hours

The real triumph is the way the British presenters are reading the autocue as if it's in their third language.

😂

Hannah is also starting to annoy me. Too shouty and too much acting.

Bold Jane 😂

And a shite presenter.

Fucking hell. Air guitars.

Cringefest.

Hannah Waddingham is reminding me of a glammed-up, even louder Denise Welch. This is not a good thing

Yup!

At this point, I don't see how!

Please tell me they have Sonia

It's good to know we are just as shit with the filler bits as other countries have been in the past.

Don't most countries get adverts then - and only we ever see them?

I think Hannah is quite funny 😄

Rita from the Rovers would wear that sparkly number for sure ! Weatherfield chic

Mans and Petra should host it every year.

Oh god. Someone just mentioned Sonia...

Yes. Yes it can be worse.

YES that's who she's been reminding me of!

I'd prefer Denise.

@CliffsofMohair I'm going to have to name change if you keep this up 🤣

Sonia! Or at least Buck's Fizz
Or scooch
Or however you spell it

She turned up in Hollyoaks this week.

Why are there musical breast muscles?

Sonia in Hollyoakes ?
Blimey
Did she sing ?
