    Notes from the final before results.

    Armenia is my favorite and they did a great job. No changes from the Semi.

    France’s staging is just as amazing the second time!

    Sweden did a good job. Very consistent, no surprises.

    Ukraine didn’t sing as well as usual. Bad time for nerves! Maybe their voices are tired from all the rehearsals.

    Germany definitely sounds better after her laryngitis. Still not exceptional but the song is a bop!

    Still amazed that Poland is doing so much! Singing, dancing, running, acrobatics, playing an instrument. Bonkers.

    Still wish Italy could have changed their staging. It’s completely unrelated to the song as far as I can tell.

    Luxembourg was even better than in the Semi. She’s really getting comfortable.

    Netherlands is still amazingly sung. Wish the staging told more of the story than just the first and last moments.

    Latvia is still beautiful. My second place favorite. Fun how the strings caught on their headpieces in both shows.

    Iceland was great to open Semi 1, but might get lost in this bigger show.

    UK performed well, same as Semi 1. They might even left side? Maybe?

    Estonia still can’t sing. It’s a fun song and stage show, but I’d be mad if he’s top 5. I expect him to left side from the televote entirely.

    Austria still amazing.

        What the heck, Italy gave 12 to the UK, 10 to Estonia, and only 6 to San Marino?

        Ok. Some crazy outcomes. Israel in second? Did you hear the booing?

        Sweden didn’t make it in the televote as I had thought they would. Interesting.

        My dear Albania and Latvia did OK. Happy about that.

        GG to JJ!

    Someone noticed that the order 2-6 is the same last year with the exception of Estonia where Netherlands was.

      Especially interesting if you consider that both Israel and Estonia are this years producer pick. For every other act the general position (first half / second half) was predetermined. But those two could have appeared anywhere in the order

      How did you like this song? I get her voice is amazing, but the singing of the guy…no.

        I’m a big fan, but it’s coming from an artistic place like Konstrakta’s In Corpore Sano rather than a strictly musical judgement.

        Kolë’s role is to say that the future is bleak and hopeless. Beatriçe is singing about hope. I think it’s extremely cool.
