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.

1 BULGARIA Dara - Bangaranga
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
8 CYPRUS Antigoni - Jalla
AUSTRIA Cosmó - Tanzschein
9 LATVIA Atvara - Ēnā
10 DENMARK Søren Torpegaard Lund - Før Vi Går Hjem
11 AUSTRALIA Delta Goodrum - Eclipse
12 UKRAINE Leléka - Ridnym
UNITED KINGDOM Look Mum No Computer - Eins, Zwei, Drei
13 ALBANIA Alis - Nân
14 MALTA Aidan - Bella
15 NORWAY Jonas Lovv - Ya Ya Ya

Badass Nana Mouskouri please

Raahh · 14/05/2026 22:15

How?? I zoned out when he was on.

RedToothBrush · 14/05/2026 22:15

Betting was spot on. No surprises.

Jury vote back for the semis. It would do well with the jury due to technicality.

That crossroads song was rubbish.
Ser you all Saturday night with Graham Norton in the hot seat.

Comefromaway · 14/05/2026 22:17

See you Saturday

RedToothBrush · 14/05/2026 22:18

Grand Final Draw is shortly, but I won't be staying up for it tonight for once (I'm shattered and can't face it tonight - last year it was after 1am). I'll post a new thread with the running order in the morning.

It should be 'did I stay awakefor it / can I sing it 5 mnutes later'.
Although I can't remember any of them now Grin

SanMarinoOutletExperience · 14/05/2026 22:19

I'm so, so disappointed for Armenia. What more could he possibly have done? It certainly was a great performance.

Ah well, Viva Moldova has come on and the drinks are going down nicely so see you all on Saturday!

booksnbaking · 14/05/2026 22:19

Thanks for the thread and the company, all, it’s been a pleasure- see you Saturday!

Raahh · 14/05/2026 22:20

See you all Saturday!!

I only heard the little bit of each song for the voting bit but there seems to be a lot of high pitched operatic stuff this year.

The thing is that works against them though as they split the vote. Anything slightly different and is in a different space will do better by comparison.
