That Israel total can be beaten. Lower than last years. Australia winning this.

If Israel get over 300 points, the atmosphere will fly out that room.

Gwon Romania

So many 0s. The top 10 on the left here is going to be ****ing loaded with points.

WE ARE SO BACK!

Bulgaria will do well on the public vote. Finland wont win from here as that would have wanted to get more jury votes. Australia should get a good wedge. That ****ing tin man is somehow not bottom. Fun 10 minutes ahead. This is meant to be finished by 11:50pm...

It will do well with the public. Israel will win the public vote, so just got to be 2nd and have a good lead and they may do ot. Israel though have more jury votes than last year, so unless the new voting system closes the loophole a bit, they are going to win.

I am old enough to remember when they went through every single point.

Denmark have been silently creeping up the board. I thought that was absolutely bobbins.

When I went Montenegro, the whole hotel was full of sodding Serbians.

Poland give 12 to Israel. Anyone want to risk the joke and a ban from FT at all?

Cyprus giving Greece 12 points is more than likely than the sun rising in the morning

He wasn't memorable, but man can sing.

Australia going slow and steady. Israeil already at 1/3rd of the points they got from the juries last year.

Give it giggsy til the end of the season.

Israel got 297 points from the public and 60 from the juries. EBU will want to avoid a replay of last year when the whole crowd in 2 places going stone dead silent when Israel may win and then absolute limbs when they didnt. 436 won it last year. 258 came from the jury. Switzerland pissed it the year before and had 365 at the change of ends. 700+ still the record from Portugal no one has beat yet.

They open the voting at the start now to stop the need for big gaps between the end of the songs and the results, but still stick 5 interval acts on then we start the results that take a decade.

Ukraine I voted for. She was a fantastic singer.

If we come lower than the tin man I am cancelling my tv licence. Romania or Finland for me. Wife thinks Australia.

All in English, but the chorus is 1,2,3 in German.

He says 3 german words 9 times the whole time in the song and the rest of it is the kings English. If i watched Eurovision for Lyrics, it would be very shite. There is one about someones mum and a weird relationship with their brother on Albania's

My not so guilty pleasure. Serbia however i think is a great song. Finland however i think will absolutely piss it, but had a punt on Israeil each way at 60/1 for interest. They found a way to cheat the phone vote the past 2 years to the point they changed it, but doesnt mean they cant do it again. Our song is shite. But its a laugh.

Fun fact that I know from used to talking to Jon and Tracy Morter who organised the whole thing. There were more complaints submitted for what the host said after they got rid of the band. She said "Go buy Joe's record" and people complained it wasn't impartial and was commercial promotion. Not sure if the complaint was upheld, but I know it drew more ire than Zach being Zach.

As someone who loves round numbers, can he not come back? 🤣

Really would love this to go to the last game and spurs stuff it. Gonna be more difficult now, but hope Leeds stuff them tomorrow and then Chelsea come out swinging after their FA cup loss
