Sandie Jones sang as Gaeilge in 1972. And both our Junior Eurovision acts so far sang as Gaeilge, too.

Don't really care for the other ms to make a top 10

unknowngirl!!

Come on Austria for a €502 payout for me I'd take Austrailia either, €402 return.

Watching the highlights I think Belgium, Bulgaria and Netherlands stood out..

How Soon Is Now

The freak show acts are kinda what makes the Eurovision. Otherwise it's just another ****e x factor "song" contest.

I'm watching on the BBC, what's the number to text to vote from Ireland?

The French are certainly more willing to include English lyrics than they were when Sébastien Tellier represented them...

I'm a big fan of that song, just so happened I was a fan of his before he did the Eurovision.

Actually, Croatia could be a surprise runner...

Love Sandie Jones 1972... Listen to it regularly....

Richard Hillman

I have absolutely no idea who is going to win. I can't even pick a top 5. It is so balanced.

This is very bland. It's still between Portugal or Belarus for me. Portugal, for me, was the highlight because it didn't rely on gimmicks like lights flashing, pyrotechnics, dancers doing stupid things, miming instruments, or other sh1te that has become a Eurovision staple now.

It was just a person singing. And that's it.

All i heard was a very low weird voice

I cannot see the love for the Belgian song. If it does win it will throw sand in the eyes of those who think that it's just a big song'ndance'funny stuff contest.
