Finland was sick. I enjoyed the breakdown in Australia’s 😂

Standard is through the roof this year.

Liked Moldova. 

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

I'm liking Moldova. Big Game of Thrones vibes. The recorder break down is on point

According to bookies only Sweden or Finland possible winners and they are never wrong. 

[DJL]

Finland was more fun. Belgium I’d enjoy the most if I heard it on a dance floor.

Veckna from off of Stranger Things going HAM for Germany.

[BookAngel]

Germany's entry would look at home at Carhenge. Big Mad Max vibes.

I think Daði og Gagnamagnið might be the greatest band on all time

Sod it, it's worth its own thread.

Remove jury. Pathetic clowns who think they know best.

I've loved the atmosphere here in Liverpool all week, I really hope everyone who has visited has had a wonderful time here.

We went to a viewing party at a bar in town. Great fun, best night out I've had in ages - little bit of the spirit of Glasto, I think, with purely good vibes and friends for the evening being made just by a a catch of the eye. The place went OFF for Finland - think we were all a bit gutted they didn't take it home.

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Poor old Germany, always in the bottom 2. Can't help but feel they've always a target on their back.

Can't complain about the top 5 tho, really.

Mel Giedroyc is insufferable. Totally ruined the second half of the show with her constant talking over the hosts and banal commentary. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

My other half points out that last night marked two years, more or less, since Live At Worthy Farm (as she opted to watch Eurovision instead that night).

Agree. Her butter churning gag was so cringe. What's up next year? David Mitchell dressed as a police officer polishing his truncheon?

Callback to Poland's entry a few years back.  I thought it was hilarious.

[Gnomicide]

I thought Mel was great, loved the milk maid gag 🤷

This! Honestly it's just such a fun vibe the whole week. People may not like the music but the ethos is similar, it's all about bringing people together. 

I rolled out of euro club at 5:30 this morning, the place was bouncing with people from all over the world. When they played Finland (live with Finland's entry from 2013) it's was like a Glastonbury 3am truth stage moment. (Which Ukraine played last year!).

Book Finland for 4am on the Hell Stage imho

Desperately want this to happen

[The Clearest Blue]

I was at the final last night, it was a great night out! Felt like the whole of Liverpool really threw themselves into it, the atmosphere whilst walking round the city during the build up was incredible. Everyone was just having so much fun, by how rough I’m feeling I think I had a little too much fun!

Next year is 50 years anniversary of ABBA win. Oh what a coincidence that Sweden won 🤡
