I have no interest in this competition whatsoever yet always seem to end up watching most of it and kind of enjoying it. I find the whole voting process remarkable and quite entertaining. It's so ludicrous.

Classic Israeli selfish disregard for other people of course, considering the trouble they've caused. Hopefully the crowd will make their feelings known.

Being as Israel isn't in Yurp, they should just feck right off anyway.
Have the Crims been sent packing this year

I was unaware until recently that the entry criterion is countries in the European broadcast area.

Couldn't be arsed with it this year, especially as the U.K. entry is atrociously bad.

5 minutes too

There's a thin, patchy layer of high-altitude broken cloud over NW Leics at the moment. Can't see anything with the naked eye. Might try a phone photo in a bit.

I confess to liking Croatia's entry.

Other prospects I think will do well are Switzerland and Armenia.


Rousing dance tune from Austria to finish off the show.

Big take of the night for me is how many of the acts are singing in their own language. I actually prefer it this way. Some bonkers stuff as per usual - I quite liked Ireland, a Marylin Manson vibe; Finland too haha. UK - meh.
