Bulgaria.

I wonder if they will have shaven their armpits?

I dunno man. I just dunno.

Not the worst though.

That's the only one I like out of all of them.

And given the success of " Jerusalema " during lockdown. It would appear that type of African sounding music is popular around Europe at the moment.

Holy cow, who got San Marino? Think they could be a dark horse, teamed up with Flo Rider.

[Southern Scouse]

Rather surprised Lithuania got through, but Sweden has done it again... I’d buy that. Plus, El Diablo and Mata Hari scored well...
Don’t get the Malta thing tbh, roll on Thursday!!!!

 

[Pevenseagull]

I always wished countries would take it seriously

proper Europop

Iceland (@Johnnyboy) will be using their rehearsal performance tonight - one of the group has had a positive Covid test and they've decided that they don't want to perform if the whole group can't.

 

[Is it PotG?]

On the Beeb now. Anyone from here there that evening?

Be surprised if HWT wasn't there, doing some courting.

They didn't play Can, Neu or Cluster down the Years. The b'stards!
