Sweden sounds different. Interesting. We cain't afford to win again. It will be an economic distaster for us. But Frans is cute and charming and only 17 years, very popular in Sweden now.

1944 when Stalin deported the Tatars from Crimea. Jamala sings with passion.

He "doesn't look Latvian enough" or something. I suspect she is confused.
Ukraine is a little odd. Pretty lights, though.

Malta could do ok.

No Politics in ESC. But "1944" is about Jamala's grandmother's experience so it is family history and thus ok.
I like Malta but this may be partly due to those who have created her son.

I'd expect Austria to sing in German (or in English like almost everone else). But Zoë sings in French. I like her song, it sound sweet and old-fashioned. Like in the good old ESC days.

Why is the Austrian entry singing in French?

I know nothing about songs but I was intrigued with Russia's staging, so I'll go with Russia.

Boy band of two. But there seems to be something wrong with the sound in my TV now.

We are lagging by up to five minutes I think so could I possibly ask people not to reveal the winner/votes before we manage to get there?

The choreography of Armenia is made of Swedish Sacha Jean-Baptiste *unashamed patriotic*

She is almost 13! And still awake. But in bed.
I shall take the opportunity of voting slot to walk the dogs.

Voting holds more interest to me than the songs, which is not saying much.

The voting or vote counting?
Russia looking strong, but I still like Hungary.
