I can't see why Sweden is such a favourite. It's OK, but not great.
Probably Finland seems a good guess. Australia is fun. Uk ought to finish on the right hand side of the board.

Seems stronger than last year, although some of those that got knocked out in semi 1 would have walked semi 2

You are not suggesting it’s fixed again this year are you?

I don’t think Ukraine will “win” again. They had the protest “virtue signalling” voting last year, they won’t be doing it again.

Interesting that Zelenskyy hasn’t been allowed to address the audience…🤔🤔🤔 apparently, it would be against the rules. 🤣🤣🤣

He performed better in the semi.

Spain will still get some points notwithstanding the song being pants.

Oh dear, I thought this might be the one place of sanctuary. Amazing how an all out promotion can change a competition that was rightly ridiculed by Terry Wogan into this carnival of crap.

Still amuses me that folk watch and comment on a programme that they apparently detest. 😂😂 Surely they can find something else to watch on the other 200 or so channels available

Eurovision is brilliant.
I will definitely be dressing up in garish clothes then marking each and every song before trying to predict how each country will vote. You simply can't beat it.
When does it start?

Wasn’t going to bother watching but it hasn’t half been hyped up all week. Australias must be a complete p*sstake of the competition. A bit like them being in it. One or two good singers (Switzerland and Estonia) but some compete sh*te too.

If you look at a map of the world you'll see that Australia is to the south east of Germany.

It's a joke that Israel is anywhere near the Euro football qualifications.

An absolute nasty rogue state in Asia.

Australia, for some reason, love the Eurovision, so were invited to join in to commemorate the 60th contest. They seem, somehow, to have managed to enter every year since.

It’s a political ********. However I watch it because I have great memories as a kid of seeing Katrina and the waves win it. I look past the politics and have a laugh with it. If you have a laugh watching it, it’s actually amusing tv

I mean, its not even a serious political ******** anymore, everyone knows that Greece and Cyprus will give each other a 12, and thats cool

its just a great laugh for a few hours

Moldova/Finland/Germany/Belgium for the win this time I think

I think people need to remember to have fun occasionally, rather than just whinge about everything that isn't in their comfort zone (or everything with some on here)

Personally I love it, Liverpool have done a great job putting all the emphasis on Ukraine.

The voting can be a bit political but let’s not forget we almost won last year after being nowhere near for donkeys years yet politically we are a bullying set of USA brown noses.

It’s all good fun
