Slovenia and the loving couple. Are they just too cute? Or do you feel "get a room!"

I'm watching on catch-up because I didn't switch it on in time... I'm currently listening to Malta.

And now UK, first time I hear it (UK don't have to do semi-finals). I like it but the singer is less skilled/experienced than John Lundvik.

And Iceland - I never thought this one would make it too the final.
Punk, BDSM, growling singing and hate. Hatrið mun sigr means "hate must conquer".

Bilal Hassani - another Conchita Wurtz? Both English and French, one deaf dancer.
First time I hear it, I like the text but I think I must hear the music more than once.

Italy - Soldi. I like, I usually like the songs from Italy.

Luca Hänni for Switzerland. Like the melody but the text "spice", "she go so low"?

After the juries have voted Sweden is in the lead with 239 points, then North Macedonia with 237 points and Netherlands with 231 points. But what happens after we hear the peoples' votes.

All over for another year. Too bad Australia didn't get higher. So, Amsterdam next year.

*rolls eyes*
Just what we need, an American knock-off of some off-kilter European fad fomenting machine...
We already have waaaaaaay too much of this kind of drivel.

Europe needs it - it is a great party full of music and joy. Lots of people but no troubles. Compare football games and football hooligans.
