Fun, catchy tune with imaginative staging but just kind of stopped.

For me it's between Austria, France, Italy, and Finland.

Honourable mentions to Australia, Cyprus, and Moldova.

UK was one of 5 dua lipa/ Ariana Grande type acts.

Israel was a better one.

Sweden was just The winner takes it all from abba. Which is good, but shouldn't be winning.

Well, I don’t think it will go down as a classic. Usually I feel I’d know who I would vote for, but I didn’t today. I don’t think we deserved second to last. Had a bit of a cry at the interval as my grandad used to sing me You’ll Never Walk Alone. Thought the rendition of Imagine was going to last all the way through to next year’s competition.

Hannah Waddingham was lovely. Makes such a break to see a female presenter not scared to use her full range of expression so that she doesn’t pull ‘awkward’ faces. Her face seem to react to every passing thought she has, and it’s wonderful to see that alongside her beauty. Also that she doesn’t try to make herself smaller. She is tall and stunning, and she holds herself commandingly when she’s next to a man smaller than her. So, what I’m saying is Hannah Waddingham won Eurovision.

I wrote that post late at night, and I want to clarify that ‘women scared to show any facial expression’ is not a criticism of women in media, but a criticism of a media that has taught women that their greatest asset is their face and figure, not their skill or brilliance. There’s a whole generation of Reel and Tiktok makers out there, beautiful young women, completely expressionless in their presentation in case their face creases or shows anything other than some kind of serene and almost sedated beauty.

Hmm... drinking most of a bottle of cheap cava last night might not have been the best idea.

Worth it though! Always fun watching along with you all. If only the dates aligned and there was a TV at the Cottage...

The German coverage I was watching was advert free but we bailed out before the end. I’d been up early for a day out so there was no chance I’d still be awake, especially as we were an hour ahead.

Aren’t the adverts in the bits they go to every half hour or so, when they interview one of the acts and Mel Gedreuijghsche churns her butter?

In between acts, in the forty second turnarounds, the digital stage went black and then shapes appeared on it with what should go where (there would be a square with "drum riser', or 'car') and a series of X for each person's starting point. And all the stuff came on from one side and off the other.

They wrote a perfectly serviceable song but then forgot to put a hook in it.
