Finland top for sure, then I had Germany second & Australia third, but I have to also support Croatia for being the only nonsensical entry this year, even if it was only a decent song

Also I'd dock 12 points every time an act does the heart thing with their hands.
Finland, Belgium and Israel.
I actually liked our song, she just needed to belt it out a bit more.
There’s none I’d vote for this year.
Unless one of them runs in and slaps Sam Ryder, then they get my vote.
‘They must be on something’
I'm almost certain the BBC are providing all the ecstacy tablets to keep the competitors going.
Non taxed, of course.
Claudia Winkleman declaring that "everyone loves Sam Ryder" sums up why they're both shit.
Imagine there's no Eurovision or Putin. It's not hard to try.
Should have gotten Gal Gadot on for this bit.
They keep giving it this 'musical city' shit but apart from The Beatles who have they got? Atomic Kitten and The Zutons?
Somehow about Liverpool...oh wait.
Jerry and the Not-the-Beatles.
Chucking in a Mel C solo track stretches the whole city of music thing a bit thin, weren't Frankie Goes To Hollywood meant to be part of this instead?
Whole Again was the best bit of the show!Originally Posted by Offshore Toon
They did the opening thing, played one song, was ace. Looked old though.
Sam Ryder being born in Bristol has thrown me as that's somewhere I'd consider a proper musical city. Maybe too musical for it's own good.
Ukraine jury not giving us 12 points is disgusting.
Why is Sweden doing so well? It was shit.
Because Loreen.
San Marino with some nice vote fixing there.
Complete fix.
James did say it was going to piss the jury votes.
Yeah but why? What do the juries look for?
Loreen looks like she’s on crack
Is this for real? Sweden winning by this margin? Wow.
Juries are asked to focus their vote on 4 main sets of criteria:
Vocal capacity of the artist(s)
Performance on stage
Composition and originality of the song
Overall impression of the act
5. How likely the winner is to afford hosting a Eurovision.
On all those points Croatia should be winning.
Like an evil Noomi Rapace.
mAIhow
They've been screwed.
You forgot geographical proximity & level political/economic dependence
Didn’t think Germany would still be on 0 lol
Rock songs never do well with the juries but it should have some points thrown at it.
Croatia on 3 and Germany on 0 is a travesty. Abolish the juries.
This might be the worst Eurovision ever. Zero interest in the voting, it becoming 'a thing' seems to have wrecked it from an unpredictability/enjoyment perspective.
"Meditational state".
Italy doing better than I was expecting. This is all going to mean nothing when Croatia get 1500 points from the phone votes anyway
Did he just say "a lot of bags" were happening backstage?
This Swedish bird is high as a kite.
The televotes is always the best part of the voting.
This Icelandic guy has done a bit much.
Ukraine, Finland, Israel and Sweden should all do well in the televote.
What the fuck is this
Just saw that Catherine Tate is doing our one. If she does it in any of her characters I hope we get kicked out forever.
Unpossible mate, founder members of the Eurovision Super League.
This is going to be between the top 4.
Sweden. Israel. Italy. Finland.
I'd swap Finland and Italy.
I don't think Italy will do well enough in the televoting.
My mum reckons Belgium will do it. I've told her to go to bed.
Ukraine will scoop up a lot of the public votes. Maybe even enough to crack that top 4.
