“Nanananana”. Ah, the Eurovision lyrics staple. ---

“No we take you outside and shoot you”. Please tell me he didn’t just say that! ---

I thought orange and yellow shouldn’t go together? Who organised their outfits? And the stripes??? _What_ were they thinking?? I have enjoyed the claymation intros though. ---

Estonia gets my vote. Well they would if I could be arsed to vote. ---

Definitely Estonia. Can you vote for the Irish contestant from the six counties? It seems like an unfair advantage, him being from a border county. ---

I just voted for Estonia. That’s actually a bad sign, because if they’d get any points I wouldn’t be able to get through. ---

The Austrian entry now seems positively refreshing after that recap. I think I’d go with: 1. Iceland 2. Belgium 3. Estonia Listening to the music they’re playing now, why the hell didn’t they perform this? It’s miles above anything we’ve heard in the show. ---

I am looking forward to there being two song contests next year. There can never be enough really bad music in the world. ---

Ireland didn’t give us any points? That’s it, we’re totally screwed. ---
