Wasn't he lead singer with Argent?

 

[Bozza]

Betting market wasn’t impressed by Finland - odds drifted out a bit whilst Sweden shortened a touch.

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

Finland definitely a proper bonkers entry. Lyrics were about drinking and dancing if you put the subtitles on. Not sure what the bit where he was riding the pink people but very entertaining.

 

[Molango's visa]

This one is poor. Vocal shrill. OK so what if I did forget my homework? No need to shout.

 

[papachris]

Possibly. I loved it though.

It's been on the radio here for weeks, along with Sweden's entry which is one of the favourites. That's why I was really surprised by the live performance by Sweden (disappointed) because I love it on the radio

 

[A1X]

Right, Australia cannot win this on any terms. Not in the UK. It’s the principle.

 

[Igzilla]

Yay, Estonia in the final. It’s quite a good song, imo.m

My favourite so far. A beautiful song, but it won't win, sadly

 

[Molango's visa]

Not heard this before...oh here we go. This is mint. I'm IN!

 

[A1X]

f*** I liked the Australian one, I feel dirty

 

[Frutos]

I don't expect it to win, but I quite like this Belgium one.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Roberto de Zerbi dressed as Boy George and singing simply red. A winner!

 

[Bozza]

f*** I liked the Australian one, I feel dirty

Better than f***ing the Australian one and feeling dirty.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I don't expect it to win, but I quite like this Belgium one.

Yes, very catchy.

 

[papachris]

I don't expect it to win, but I quite like this Belgium one.

Wouldn't be amiss in the disco which is familiar to my generation

 

[A1X]

For all that Eurovision has become such a slick technical marvel over the years, the terrible quality of the in-between bits remains one of the highlights

 

[Randy McNob]

can't wait for Sonia

 

[Change at Barnham]

It's Salford 1 Stockport 0 in added time.

Have I missed anything on Eurovision?
How long until the scoring starts?

 

[Igzilla]

can't wait for Sonia

I'm expecting a Beatles/Gerry and the Pacemakers/Cilla Black/OMD/Frankie mash up

 

[A1X]

Mad local costumes, finally
