I don’t think so. They said “Clareburt 2 and 1x Fairweather each”

Nah he said Swimming 2 and that Clareburt and Fairweather would each get one.

50.72 for Sharlene Mawdsley today to auto Q for the Olympic women's 400m. Further good news for Ireland's relay team

Ireland was 6th in the juries, 6th in the televote and 6th overall.... give us the trophy for consistency now

It's simple, let eliminated juries, it will be enough.

Not a good idea because as you can see the televote results are a huge mess too. Israel almost won and that definitely was not “the people’s” choice either. The jury and public vote are both broken, neither work but what other option is there at this point? 

6th place for Ireland, finally a decent result for us  

Irlande douze points!!! OMG it's been so long since I heard that

Votes sent:

  x 5
x 1

My top 3

 

 

Who will win? 

Sadly I don't think Ireland will win but hoping for top 10 and dare I say get close to top 5. Need to decide who I am voting for now.... definitely Croatia

yes France persists in offering vocal songs while the public does not like it.. we will never win this competition again

Never say never. Weren't France 2nd in 2021?

The French song is definitely missing a spark. Great artist but the song is very ordinary.

I cannot warm to the Swiss song at all.... it hasn't grown on me since first listen and it's always an effort to listen to.

Great vocals by Norway!

Wow, still can't get over that staging by Bambie Thug. Incredible!!

Spain, it's a nul points for me

Germany is certainly better than a heap of other songs in the final for me but it's too bland and forgettable so it will struggle for sure.

Here we go, top Saturday Night of the Year!  

There's at least 3 Saturdays in July and August that will top this

We're looking to buy a house and hopefully find one this year. If you ever need a place to sleep in the Netherlands, you're welcome, probably we will be able to fit a leprechaun bed somewhere for you.

I wasn't planning on visiting the Red Light District but thanks for the invitation.


Congrats by the way

Käärijä announced he steps back from giving Finland's points.

 

 

Meanwhile, Dutch flags have been confiscated from fans at the stadium. Barbie Thug is meanwhile still waiting for an answer on her complaint against Israel and their behaviour.

Barbie Thug?

I wouldn't be sad if this happens again during the real voting

I hope so  

 

Been my big favourite from the first time I heard it  

 

Especially if, outside of Israel getting the free war votes, the biggest challengers are Switzerland and France, which I found soooo....meh.

Yes France and Switzerland don’t do it for me, nothing special that we haven’t seen a million times before and neither are catchy enough to make me want to sing them as I go about my day

If the Italian leaked votes are true, Israel is winning the televote. In this age of the Eurovision the televote is very similar in most countries, so if Israel got 40% of the votes in Italy of all places in the semi, we should expect a lot of votes going their way today. Not even Ukraine got that many votes from Italy two years ago in the semi. 

I would be skeptical about how real those votes were and also I can’t see every country replicating 40% for Israel in televoting. I could be very wrong but my gut says Croatia will win the televote.

I may be very wrong but I don’t see Israel sweeping the public vote. I think Croatia will win the public vote by a mile.
