Israel was boring too.

WTAF

That's kinda the point. Graham and Terry did it too.

It's the best bit of Eurovision.

Dh thinks it's because Sweden won fifty years ago next year with Abba so they want them to win. This is based on nothing much , but the Swedish song this year was awful

Thank you @ShakeYourFeathers makes a bit more sense :)

I thought Israel were great. I voted for them

Go Austrian dude!

When it got to 20+ countries it became painful.

I don’t think it’s actually fair to let the same act enter twice

Oh yes, Katie Boyle at 11pm in wonky colour ... 'Are you there, Looox-om-borg? This is the Royohm Yooni calling'. Happy days.

Oh hello Mr Austria.

I still
Don't understand it really but it's not how you expect it to happen

I wish they'd scrap the jury vote, it always annoys me.

Has the Italy bloke changed his top?

All I noticed was Italy has a good looking singer.

Of course it is! Finland was the other bookies favourite - they also applied to NATO last year at the same time as Sweden....funny that.

Who'd have thunked it - Eurovision finals being political 😆

@Reugny I think you're right!

Loreen is an absolute legend of Eurovision. She won in 2012 and it marked a big change with a song that was much more current rather than "Eurovision" winning. No woman has won this twice.

I was just explaining to DS 9 about how they announced every point in each country and he was shocked we would sit and wait so long! Made it more fun imo

I like Mr Austria!

France wins the gowns so far this evening.

OK I'm going to say, Sweden got some love in our house because she was one of the better singers.

I'll get my coat.

Melanie Trump looking good there

Agree. They were shit.

They did scrap it for a while, then brought it back.
