I’m finally able to watch so I am going to be posting my thoughts as I watch :sanapray:

I always love the flag parade, it’s so fun seeing the artists be so proud of the country’s they’re representing!

Norway: Gahhh he’s so good! What a way to start a show!! I don’t care what anyone says, his dance break is so cool. I am so proud of this kid!

Luxembourg: She was really stable when being lifted up from the ground - I am impressed. Mid song she sounded a bit out of breath but honestly I would just chalk it up to nerves. She honestly did so well regardless. I loved her outfit change. That high note was fantastic too!

Estonia: His voice is a little less off-tune than it was in the semi-finals but he could still improve. I can’t lie - the song is catchy though.

Israel: My views aside (I don’t think they should even be participating)…. She felt more flat vocally than the semis. I still think the staging is really pretty but that’s probably the only nice thing I can say. I think her voice even lowkey cracked a bit.

Lithuania: Everytime I hear this song I reminded of how absolutely boring this is. I would take a nap during this but actually wanted to give it a fair chance. I will admit he was stable. I will not go out of my way to listen to this again honestly.

Spain: This song truly grows on me everytime. Melody is a queen, we stan!! She can sing, its fun, what more do people want? The choreography is so cool too!

Ukraine: This gives me such a vintage and nostalgic vibe, I love it! His pink outfit will forever be my favourite stage outfit of this year. He sounds basically like the studio version most of the time which I appreciate. I feel like people really underestimated or didn’t understand the vision but I definitely do.

United Kingdom: They give me such princess vibes, the dresses are so elegant. They are definitely serving vocals too. The song has begun to grow on me too. I was meh about the studio version but the live versions elevated it.

Austria: Am I the only person who finds the opera-like parts really annoying? If the whole song was like the verses, I would enjoy it more. I just feel like it’s an octave too high for my liking.

Iceland: In my top three so obviously I am biased but man they are amazing. This is the perfect mix of fun and good vocals. I’m so proud of them - they truly gave it their all! I will definitely be listening to this well after the show ends.

Latvia: I don’t know if this is intentional but the song is almost hypnotic. I feel very intrigued the entire time. They harmonize really well together. I appreciate how consistent they are between the semis and now.

Netherlands: I love how his voice can go from soft and emotional to a growl. It’s fascinating. Claude is a great artist, I liked his music before he was introduced as a performer this year. The way he started crying at the end had me in tears.

Finland: She is such a performer, she knows how to use the stage! This was seriously such an iconic performance. She can sing, she’s fun. It may be a little risky but whatever, I am enjoying her performance.

Italy: It’s not the type of song I would normally gravitate towards but I will dmit it has slowly started to grow on me. I like him playing the piano while sibging, it’s kinda relaxing in a sense. The harmonica part is pretty cool too.

Poland: She radiates everytime she steps on stage! I don’t know how she can hit this notes especially while dancing. This is a whole theatrical masterpiece. She slightly struggled to let go from being propelled in the air but honestly I barely noticed.

Germany: The “la la la” part is a little annoying but less annoying live than the studio version. I like the big stereo prop and the rest of the song is fine.

Greece: She is such a queen and an absolute powerhouse vocal! She has range! And this song gets me feeling emotional. One simple stage prop but so effective. She is a storyteller and I love that in an artist.

Armenia: It does not seem easy to sing and run on a treadmill - if I tried that I would be so out of breath. Not sure if this is the best pick for the Eurovision stage but definitely reminiscent of songs I would listen to as a teenager so it does feel kinda nostalgic.

Switzerland: Did they send the most boring possible option because they didn’t want to host two years in a row? It definitely felt like it. If you haven’t noticed, ballad aren’t my thing. But I will admit, she can sing well. I just wish it had’ve been a less boring song.

Malta: Thank you for entertaining me!! I’m still mad about the EBU sensoring her and not allowing to use of the word Kant. Malta chose someone who can sing and can entertain and that is great for them. I love the stage props and use of space. I love how she remains stable in her vicals even when bouncing on those big red balls.

Portugal: I guess it’s time for another nap. It’s honestly the most boring entry this year. I will compliment his ability to multitask as he is songing and playing the guitar at the same time.

Denmark: The only thing I can complain about is the awful fluffy thibg she is wearing at the beginning. Other than that, the other outfit is stunning, she sings good, and she definitely already defied expectations. She hits some impressively long notes too.

Sweden: I find it funny that the one guy was roasting a ridiculously large hot dog at the beginning. This song is catchy and continues to be stuck in my head. I don’t know wgat this song is laced with but I approve of it’s catchiness.

France: I am just thinking about her finding sand everywhere for the next few weeks. The song is not my cup of tea but I can appreciate it. She does appear to connect deeply with the lyrics and conveys deep emotions.

San Marino: I can admit this is pretty fun. I am curious to know why the other two guys are masked. I could not figure out why he looked so familiar but learned he was a part of creating the im blue da ba dee da ba die song

Albania: I feel like I am missing part of the storyline because I don’t understand why the man just stands there. It’s also slowly growing on me, still not something I would go out of my way to listen to but would not be mad if it came up on shuffle.

I don’t know if I am getting more moody because I am tired and just trying to get through this but I am skipping the talking bits :wimwim:

I did not like the Baby Lasagna/Kaarija performance… or Nemo’s performance. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of any of their original performances so I am not shocked by my reaction.

Sweden 12 points to Austria… not surprised.
Azerbaijan 12 points to Israel… umm why?
Malta 12 points to Armenia… okay interesting.
Netherlands 12 points to Austria… again not surprised.
Solvenia 12 points to Italy… I don’t really have much to say but okay.
Armenia 12 points to France… alright.
Luxembourg 12 points to France… again?
San Marino 12 points to Italy… okay.
Ukraine (ALSO OMG JERRY IS BACK!!) 12 points to Germany… umm alright I guess, not nearly what I expected.
Norway 12 points to Austria… not surprised again.

**side note: Switzerland is getting a lot of jury votes despite not being anyone’s 12 points (so far) :wimwim:

Austria 12 points to Finland… I was not expecting any jury to give them 12 points but so so glad they did!
France 12 points to Albania… okay.
Italy 12 points to United Kingdom… good for them.
Portugal 12 points to Italy… okay.
Denmark 12 points to Latvia… good for them too.
Croatia 12 points to Italy… they seem to be quite a favourite, interesting.
Latvia (WELCOME BACK DONS!) 12 points to Austria… again not surprised.
Ireland 12 points to Austria… okay.
Poland 12 points to Switzerland… I was lowkey waiting for them to get a 12 points, it seemed inevitable
Montenegro 12 points to Greece…. YESS!!!

**side note: how does Iceland have zero points so far?? This is devastating :pepecry1:

Greece 12 points to France… not surprised.
Serbia 12 points to Fance… wow the jury is loving them this year.
Czechia 12 points to Germany… okay.
United Kingdom 12 points to Latvia…. okay.
Spain 12 points to Switzerland… does the jury just pick the most boring songs or what?
Finland 12 points to Austria… not surprised.
Australia 12 points to Greece… YESSSS!
Germany 12 points to Austria… okay.
Belgium 12 points to Austria… if I didn’t already spoil the winner for myself I probably would have guessed Austria to win anyway at this point
Israel 12 points to Greece… at least Greece is moving up now
Albania 12 points to France… okay.
Lithuania (WELCOME BACK SILVESTER BELT!!) 12 points to Latvia… okay cool.
Iceland 12 points to Sweden… their songs had similar vibes so I can see it
Georgia 12 points to Italy… okay.
Cyprus 12 points to Greece… YESSSS!
Estonia 12 points to Switzerland…. alright.
Switzerland 12 points to Italy… okay.

This wasn’t too weird :sanapray:

It was a really interesting jury vote. Austria was leading but it wasn't hugely leading, it felt natural

@Belgizen I know absolutely nothing about Azerbaijan, time to do some research it seems.
Don't know all the history but basically there's a small part of Armenia surrounded by Azerbeijan and they's basically also doing ethnic-cleansing over there. Last year they attacked and a few people wanted them also removed from the competition with Israel but they were kept.
It's unfortunately a lesser known issue, like I didn't know either.
As far as I know, they stopped soon after.
But many fans are mad that IS and AZ get passes for what they're doing to other people

@Belgizen thats so messed up. I honestly had no idea about this. It further proves that as a society we need to speak up more about injustices or they keep getting swept under the rug and people don’t learn about it

Yup, unfortunately IS overshadowed this whole issue but people still asked for a boycott. Especially since it is argued that Armenia, just like Ukraine, are also in this competition and have to come across them behind the stage etc

okay so after some time, here are my thoughts other than the obvious that we need isnotreal GONE and their votes checked like azerbaijan 2013:

• austria was not even my top 10 but at the same time it was like the best thing that could have happened to me personally, because i spent the whole final whining to myself about how empty that event is without my winner and then HE ACTUALLY SHOWED UP for like 4 seconds!!! best 4 seconds of the entire thing if you ask me. it had me screaming at the TV as if a NQ had won the contest with a salvador sobral level score
• italy top 5 oh i'm so glad i never doubted them 😭😭 and greece 6th!!
• those televoting results were ABYSMAL - the top 2 was the bottom 2 in my ranking and as much as i expected myself to have a whole breakdown over my fave flopping in the SF i chose to simply not give a fuck about that rigged crap
• azerBYEjan getting a single digit score is the SF results' only saving grace
• i know people can be mad with another jury winner being the general winner but an audience that gives voyage 0 points is not one that can be trusted - like thinking that this masterpiece might not have even QUALIFIED if it were participating in the SFs....
• but then again some juries cannot be trusted either because if they're here to judge on some professional qualities - why was tommy cash who did not hit a single note getting jury 10's?
• if someone had told me that erika fucking vikman isn't going to be in the top 10 i'd LAUGH in their face.... now i still want to laugh because this is ridiculous

5. Poland - 14th
6. Spain - 24th
7. Ukraine - 9th
8. Sweden - 4th
9. Finland - 11th
10. Malta - 17th

Azerbaijin and Israel are more likely allies due to Iran, idk the ins and outs of that geopolitial situation but I just wanted to mention it @athenarose

Also, it's hinted that the Greek song is about the Pontic Greek genocide, I don't like the song that much but I think it's really brave for the singer to have performed it in such a tense contest
