It looks like he’s repurposed Melody’s curtain

Honestly - we wore leotards in PE the first couple of years of high school. I never, ever thought they would be stage wear

That's it. Thanks.

No, but Peter Gordeno did.

I think Tattoo has influenced a couple
of the songs already this evening.

I've been the last two years yes.

Staying home this year.

Now it’s going a bit Queen! Don’t stop him now

I feel like I have entered another dimension

I kind of like this one.

Camp Red Dwarf vibes

They are making my think me telly is broke. Automatic disqualification.

He's bagging you - someone needs to have a word

I LOVE this but his vocal is gonna have to improve!

I quite like this, it's a bit prog rock /70s / bonkers.

He has great hair.

He was shaking like a leaf

Here we go. Its the big one!

Its BRILLIANT

Its FINLAND errrrr sorry Sweden

I liked the Ukrainian entry.

Ukraine: Ziferblat – “Bird of Pray”. This song was a grower. Not the most dramatic of stagings but sung well (compared to everyone else so far) Qualifying.

Not a great semi-final so far.

Yay Sauna… I bloody love it 😆

Same.
I'm only watching because I'm.all tennis - ed out, but I'm thinking of returning ( no pun intended)

I noticed that too, bless him

I’m watching RTÉ and Marty just said “oh merciful hour” 🤣

I like this Swedish entry.
Oh eh eh oh .

I feel like I’ve heard this before

Best one so far 👍🕺
