Ha! Serves you right Australia!
Going to be an interesting show next year then...
Somewhere else will host it for them.
He did us proud.

Someone has mathsed this up, but I doubt it’s doable as surely there aren’t enough points left.
Well done Ukraine

Any other year...
Amazing result.

What a night!
Our entrant did us so proud. I’m going to buy his song, if I can work out how you even buy a song nowadays.
*looks to camera*

And thank you all for another enjoyable and hilarious thread.
See you next year!
Yo @curio are we front rowing this fella then?
Amazing result for the UK and we'll deserved... He nailed it!

Now, are the Ukraine actually going to be able to host next year? If not, one of the big five will have to step in and do it. Italy won't do a double so that leaves 4... One of which is the UK.

I hope it comes here and more importantly, I hope I can get tickets.

Same time, next year. In person, front row tickets so we can shit talk the acts as a collective.
Nadine has a plan for us to win next year.

Picked the wrong novelty song, but happy with that!

Nailed it.
I just woke up and it turns out all the above actually did happen.

Still buzzing.
Bravo to the Essex Thor for coming second. Great work.

Ukraine was okay; at least it wasn't a dreary, boring ballad. I am glad that none of the top five were, and I'm sure Moldova looked even more awesome due to coming after a run of pretty dire efforts.

UK, Sweden, Moldova, Spain were my favourites, I think. Possibly more, but I have forgotten. Oh yeah, maybe Serbia just for being like something out of a David Lynch movie.
I must have been distracted when Sweden came on as I thought it was dull as mud, but everyone else really loved it.
I just looked it up to make sure I was thinking if the right act, and I was.

I was ready to dislike Spain, but I thought that was ace. The singer absolutely sold that performance, as did our guy. I think that’s what stood out in those performances to me. They were really strongly presented. Also, who doesn’t want to be a spaceman? We were all at the national space centre the day before Eurovision, so that was a cheery callback to our day out, too.

Hours later and I've realised I should have referred to him as B&M-inem.
I've rarely watched any of Eurovision, but I'd enjoy being there in person.

You have my vote. Now just find a song!
Another Liverpool meet?
Please be Birmingham...
That's a very Northern list.

Except for Birmingham. That's the South
I think you'll find it's not.

I wonder where the divide is if you split it by population?

Brum is in the Midlands, which starts when you cross the northern most tip of Oxfordshire. The Midlands ends when you enter the Peaks.

At least according to my headcanon.

To be true to the Eurovision film, we have to move the Glasgow arena to downtown Edinburgh.
Also, we're all going, right?

It's in the Midlands, though appears to be heading south again.

That's fascinating to almost see it change so LITTLE over time

Where did the UK come in the public vote in 2022 again?

Oh, still 5th. Carry on.

Ok hilary
Boo, the jury vote is far more interesting
Jury vote stays for the final, that's just for the semi finals I think? It's not exactly clear.
Didn't go for tickets in the end (pick one of: forgot; forgot; sold out quickly anyway; forgot).

Still, reading the BBC's report on the festivities, I spotted this:

Quote:
a submarine street parade


How would we know?
First they flood the street, then the parade.
The TicketMaster website basically fell apart, so even if you did remember and get in the queue early (like me, and thousands of other people) chances are you still would have walked away with nothing.
After all the different variables, there were probably only 5000 tickets for the final available, and each person could buy 4 at once. Chances were vanishingly small.
Can they do it on a wet Wednesday night in Liverpool? Eurovision tickets for for semifinal 2 preview show have been obtained.

Hmm... think we might heading to the lower-right of the screen again.

Popped to the Eurovision Village this afternoon. Armed police on the street by the Liver building, can only take bag smaller than an A4 piece of paper in with you, and it will be searched for contraband (food and drink, can't have the concessions losing sales)on the way in.

Other than that it was pretty decent for a look about.
