Sha.

I'm missing Moldova this year.

Them Russian grannies wuz robbed!

Have they not entered? I loved their song last year and still listen to it, but it didn’t qualify

How do you get the job of working out all these records?

No they didn't enter this year.

They've had some really iconic entries. I'm gutted.

Moldova really have

I know. Always reliably mental. My favourite was Junior Vampire and his fiery coffin/piano, like some multi-functional child's bedroom furniture from Transylvanian IKEA.

I love Cha Cha Cha

I bet Rosa Linn is one of the big ones.

Yep - on the night, Rosa Linn hardly registered, but ended up being a massive streaming hit , and I still play it now. (And I didn't even know it before the night).

The Saxophone Guy

Wasn’t that Ukraine?

Can Celine not afford the heating? All those candles...

That was sad.

My husband still listens to that Norwegian entry, the Queen of the Kings one.

Love Celine. She is fabulous.

That was very moving ❤️

get on with it

This could have been over an hour ago

I’m assuming there will be better acts on Thursday, meaning some good ones won’t get through, when some rubbish from tonight will

Is there one for everyone in the audience?

Don't hold your breath. It's a better semi final line up, but it is not a classic year

Still loving my favourites - Italy is so good. Glad Mumsnet approved. Also Cyprus, Norway and Belgium. The interval act was brilliant - so excited to see Petra.

What’s highlighter lady have on her finger?

how do I get a Roger Federer cushion?
