Sooky

The 9 points UK got in the televote came courtesy of 5 from Ukraine and 4 from Malta. Finland received eighteen sets of 12 points from the public and Sweden…didn’t get a single 12 points from any country in the public vote. But Sweden did get given at least some points by the public in every single country…apart from…Finland!

The build up and the dramatic music before the entrance to Sonia was hilarious, like she was Beyoncé.

I think that may have been on purpose…

Once a year there seems to be an act that does awful with the juries and then skyrockets to near the top with about 400 televoting points and that’s definitely Croatia this year.

Think it’s going to be destined for mid-table, but upcoming Slovenia is one of my favourites. A decent song and it just looks like a bunch of (not unattractive) guys having a great time.

Second place is phenomenal. Hope the BBC take the hint that trying actually gets results. No reason we can’t win in a ‘normal’ year. To give some context to how massive that Ukraine vote was…

Never had a bad word to say about the French. Lovely folks!

What the f**k is happening

All that military aid got us something!

Having not heard a Mika song in about a decade, I forgot how many bangers he had.

Haven’t seen a strategy so blatant since the breasted Polish butter churners.

Voted for Moldova and Serbia to keep the batshit crazy songs/contestants in the running

Serbia is like a Covid safety video from March 2020.

That was our best effort in such a long time in my opinion. Actually put some effort in. Didn’t love the studio version but much better live. Left hand side of the board is the least it deserves.

Swedish Jodie Whittaker surely??
