After Tuesday's festival of Fire and Ice (with no Will Ferrell irony) and the truly wonderfully socked Australia/Austria Interval act from Cutprice Katherine Ryan and her pal Austrian Smashy I'm sure you all can't wait. Tonight sees a Eurovision song called "Ya Ya Ya". Could it be anymore Eurovision? Get your pleather and odd knee high boots on.

2 AZERBAIJAN Jiva - Just Go
3 ROMANIA Alexandra Căpitănescu - Choke Me
4 LUXEMBOURG Eva Marija - Mother Nature
5 CZECHIA Daniel Zizka - Crossroads
FRANCE Monroe - Regarde
6 ARMENIA Simón - Paloma Rumba
7 SWITZERLAND Veronica Fusaro - Alice

AUSTRIA Cosmó - Tanzschein
9 LATVIA Atvara - Ēnā
10 DENMARK Søren Torpegaard Lund - Før Vi Går Hjem

That screechy note ouch

ilovesooty · 14/05/2026 21:15

Don't think that was 28 seconds.

booksnbaking · 14/05/2026 21:15

Bandura.

did your dog start singing along to those high notes? My fillings chimed in sympathy.

Would generally have been U.K. or Spain. But we already hosted for Ukraine and now Spain have pulled out so…….

Germany then

CrushingOnRubies · 14/05/2026 21:16

Dog didn’t lift her head for the note. Not worth it

Ukraine was good will get through but not a a patch on Delta. Liked the traditional stringed instrument

Fast800goingforit · 14/05/2026 21:16

He's very Eurovision. What's happened to green room Emily?

RedToothBrush · 14/05/2026 21:16

Fast800goingforit · 14/05/2026 21:15

Germany then

Lets be honest. Its the only way they'll host it any time soon.

Latvia, Australia, Ukraine, Malta all in the same half must’ve meant the running order was a bit tricky. They broke it up as best they could with Austria and UK.

No, Rylan was meant to time it- and he didn't confirm the time.

To be fair, 28 seconds is a long time to screech.

CrushingOnRubies · 14/05/2026 21:17

Maybe it’s the highest scoring big 4/5 which Australia hosts from. Maybe France then

CrushingOnRubies · 14/05/2026 21:18

And why is Emily not a big name in the Uk seems perfectly nice English young lady.

RedToothBrush · 14/05/2026 21:18

He's off key. Fuck.

She may have an English accent, but she's never lived in the UK as far as I could find out. No idea what nationality/ies her parents are.

I've heard worse tonight

OublietteBravo · 14/05/2026 21:20

Awww. The Teletubbies have grown up and are doing office work.

Fast800goingforit · 14/05/2026 21:20

Ah - that's what Angela's furry TV head was about at the top of the show

Comefromaway · 14/05/2026 21:20

I suspect this comes across better live than on TV

CrushingOnRubies · 14/05/2026 21:21

Not often the UKs offering is in the more bonkers category. But compared to all the soloists this evening it’s a bit nuts

EmpressSisi · 14/05/2026 21:21

It’s annoyingly catchy

RedToothBrush · 14/05/2026 21:21

He's really got the crowd going tbf.

It should get people singing along, if nothing else.

And I prefer it to angsty ballads. I'm over angsty ballads.

AlecTrevelyan006 · 14/05/2026 21:21

I like it.

Fast800goingforit · 14/05/2026 21:21

Ein zwei drei!!
