I'm a few minutes behind and watching on iPlayer. The sign language woman is going for it already and got her groove on! If she keeps jigging all night I'm going to be well impressed.

Austria look like they should've been introduced by Antoine de Caunes.

Derivate dance tripe. Next!

We were at the semi and Austria were *bouncing*. But that felt a bit flat.

OK, Soldier Boy is pretty strong. Borrow a guitarist or two from My Chemical Romance and that could be an outstanding track.

Well, given the French entry is sung by a Canadian…

I think we missed an opportunity to have the Wedding Present do our entry this year.

Edit: Israel is to do with them being in the European broadcast area

Something to do with the Australian Broadcasting Corp being in the Euro thing club that runs eurovision.
If they win, the contest has to be run in a euro country.

Aw poor Spain, her dress melted.

She's got a good voice but this is weary.

Anyone know why the Spanish singer is wearing a used quality street wrapper and borrowed some red wool net curtains from her nan?
Edit, thanks for the dress explanation @Cougar

I’m in Liverpool, I live in the Docklands…..been an amazing week!!
We are in an Irish bar away from the arena though….lack of forward planning so didn’t get any tickets. It’s absolutely bouncing everywhere though! Been great for the city.

Anyway, my money is on Sweden. I actually really like the song.

It ticks all the Eurovision boxes, without doing much for me. Weirdly, I liked the French entry best so far.

I hope the dancers trying to kill themselves on the stairs behind the Italian singer aren't a comment on his singing.
