Croatia: Marko Bošnjak – “Poison Cake”. Worst song of the night (and that’s quite an achievement). Not qualifying

Bit too grim Croatia.

'Tasty tasty , very very tasty' was the tag line to the Bran Flakes advert wasn't it?

Beyond that... I don't know what to say.

This is unintentionally hilarious 😆

KFC would like to make it very clear that Poison Cake was in no way inspired by their former employee's time with their team.

My ears! I don’t want to eat his cake or listen to it again ! .. He seemed very into it though

Love Netherlands. It’s a very diverse country, many languages spoken, plus few countries use their native language for Eurovision these days. Stylish performs, won’t win, but will be on my playlist.

Poison cake…not so much.

I thought that was about to morph from pantomime to workout video for a moment there!

I did have minor surgery earlier today 😂

Is that it? Thank feck.

Oh no, there's another

Literally everyone except all the countries in the second semifinal I think she means

I'm sure it will qualify.

I don’t think Croatia was the worst, only because there’s been some proper shite in there

I would like to argue that the drugs haven't quite worn off yet.

Oh non

Already bored ! Bring back Spanish Melody and her leotard !

Bring back Croatia

She looks like she is out of a Caravaggio.

C'est un tear-jerker.

I wish she had stayed in it

NON!

Just needs a fruit bowl

I hate this more than anything else 😭

Beautiful voice

She needs to sit on her hands
