Why are they all parading about like Olympians, so they normally do that?

Loreen has mega abs, I am in awe.

Is this new?

Ooh S Express

This is snappy for the parade of contestants and more interesting than the usual

Me too, I’m glad they chose someone likeable rather than “snarky”

Anyone know if there's a contingency for it overrunning (by an hour or so.?)

Howdo.

I’m confused, is Mel doing the commentary now?

That's what I mean

I thought they didn't normally and all this random singing between the flags

That opening act with last year’s winning song was emotional 🇺🇦

The parade with flags? No. It's been done for a good few years.

Artist lies down on stage

DRINK!

Wonder if we'll see Ruslana in this bit

We'll be here all night

Artist lies down on stage✅

If you say so!

I think it's all the acts (in performance order) interspersed with former Ulkrainian acts.

Whoever picked the backing tracks, has fabulous taste!

Man in pink.✅

Oops shows how much attention I pay to the start

I think they've done the flags for the last few years.
But the contestants didn't bring them.out.

Normally it's long-legged blonde women doing it.

Verka!

Is Graham not doing the commentary 😕

This is my favourite bit so far
