Good evening Europe!!
---

Is Ireland singing wrong?
---

I thought he retired Conchita Wurst
---

Wow I love Denmarks song!
---

sweden has a black guy performing? thats p cool
---

literally none of them were interesting to me so far except austria i want him
---

Swedens voice was better than how he sounded in Melodifestivalen and way better than radio version. Ok I believe in him now.
---

the swedish bloke was v impressive

isnt the netherlands the favourites atm?

Yeah, the Netherlands are the fav currently with Sweden as #2.
---

Malta
---

Im quite enjoying Albania
---

switzerland and russia are my favourites
almost duncan time
---

Jojk time!!
---

Norway
---

i weed myself
---

Arcade is a very competent song and Duncan sure can sing but I find it a tad boring tbh. Wouldnt be surprised if he wins since Salvador Sobral from Portugal won in 2017 with a competent but slightly boring song. But I hope for Iceland or France.
---

That interval act was beautiful.
---

Soon results
---

Oh damn that acapella shoe joke flopped i feel bad for he she most likely didnt come up with it

I dont even understand what the joke was
---

Good choices for finalists. I disnt want Macedonia, Russia, Azerbajan. Malta was a bit weird but sure.
---

hm i do think arcade is far out the best song ive seen tonight, it also has great staging but ive seen better. its a good winners song

maltas reaction to the final was also very sweet and i was rooting for em
---

going to the final

north macedonia
the netherlands
albania
russia
azerbeidjan
sweden
denmark
norway
switzerland
malta
---

Im overall pleased with the finalists but would have traded in Armenia and Moldova at the expense of Albania and North Macedonia.

Im keeping my fingers crossed for Iceland (finally some Industrial in Eurovision), Switzerland (a male Fuego!) and France (yaaaas King/Queen slaaay!) tomorrow.
