I like this

Oh don’t do masks!

It's all a bit ....... Mussolini.

I love this but I also love Eiffel 65!

I'm liking this more than I should.

There's a lot of dross tonight. This bit is like Vindaloo

Has the milk man song been on? Sooooo creeeepy.

This is a jolly number.

Thursday

San Marino: Gabry Ponte – “Tutta L’Italia”. Well it should do well with Italy. Qualifying (but only because everything else is so bad).

This sort of lively, energetic song would benefit from having dancers. Literally everyone on stage is stood there like statues.

I'm here for San Marino yeah yeah yeah fecking gorgeous 🥰

Not.

Prefer this ode to Italy than Estonia. Good music too

Euro holiday song

I’ve always wondered what would happen if a country like San Marino won and had to host

What’s with the Italy themed songs

This isn't supposed to be qualifying but this is a decent performance. Others have under performed.

Apart from the "DJ"

I actually think either of them would be great on his own; but together, Rylan and Scott bouncing off each other are absolutely perfect at this.

Genuine fans, excited by what's going on; really witty observations too.

Given tonight’s performances, I can now see this qualifying.

I am actually really liking San Marino's song. It's catchy.

If I could vote I would vote for them

I like Rylan, he's got a very natural presenting style. Can't bear Scott, he's very charisma-free.

Well my leg is tapping away with San Marino!!

It has ‘ mini disco ‘ for the little ones all over it. Coming to a holiday hotel soon .
