So, it appears that the first TV break is after 8 - Serbia, by the looks of the Jury show now.

The greed of people never ceases to amaze me. I'm sure they'd love to make it every 2 months, if they could. And with matches from 12 am to 12 pm, just like we went from 2 matches a day, to 3 matches, to now 4 matches a day.......

It's weirdly hypnotic The title "Shum" is translated into "Noise", and that is what i thought the first times i listened to it. But after i couple more listens and especially after the 1/2 it's grown on me, i must confess. And given the reactions to many thousand more people

Not necessarily. There is usually a large home nation influx of views, when they upload the videos. And BGs are amongst the least Eurovision invested people, if we are going south-east from Hungary. Today in the office, from around 20 young people, only one other person cared that we made the final It's no surprise that Serbia and Greece have big views. Crazy, wacky, entertaining entries always do well, because people are re-watching for the lolz. You won't get multiple replays for a hard ballad. But you will need only one showing to grab the casual watchers on Saturday. I think the views are good. They are on the same level as , and , which are the ones we should be looking at. We won't be winning, that was clear, when the song was announced, but i still see a top 5 position. If we are looking at the odds, half the nations before us have a problem with one of the voting wings, while i think we would have a strong balanced showing on both sides. Juries will sink Finland (sadly), San Marino, maybe even Ukraine, while Lithuania, Portugal will struggle with the popular vote. Iceland is a mystery for me and can't wrap my finger how popular will it be with the audience. And Malta could flop too.

Damn, that 16-21 order of - - - - is brutal. Heck, you can even add AZE to that. It's going to be a bloodbath. There could be trouble for France sandwiched between 2 visually great up-tempo songs. with the pole-position and rightfully so. Between 3 complete bores and the mediocre SMA it will vividly stand-out. But honestly, it would have stand-out anywhere else on the order either way. In the first half only keeps it's chances for a top 3. I already knew on Wednesday that they will use El Diablo as a flashy opener. The usual solid fan-favourite that gets top 10, but nothing more. at 5 is about right with it's uniqueness, but when the second half heavyweights hit, it will be lost. The 10-15 spot beckons. I hope this is a sign that Malta is flopping hard and i pray it flops hard. I will laugh my ass off.

This Semi is so uneventful, that i'm falling asleep

Greece will be this years meme champions Stefania is wonderful, but i just don't know how they came up with this concept...

Estonia is a nice song, but in the death slot and with those choppy TV shots is a NQ, which is a pity.

Time for night 2. Good luck to Viki, even if it's going to be a formality for her. Personally hoping for a Finland Q, as i'm always with a rock song!

Big shoutout to all UEFA members (beside Israel), who will get the football season successfully finished in the next week. All leagues and cups will be done in record time, because of the late start in 2020 and just as planned before the EURO. Now this is how you get the job done! Awaiting the final exciting matches that are left.

Wow, we have a finalist and it's not Ivet Goranova. I have no idea how that happened.

It's just a reunion special (for now) I agree on the rest. They have ruined enough classic shows with their pointless reboots, even though there are over 600 scripted shows being produced every year only in America. And how many of them will be remembered and cherished after 30 years? And the comedy genre has been dead for 10 years. No wonder the whole world is still watching sitcoms from the 80s, 90s till 2007-08.

It's almost here people!!

Ukraine and Russia clear stand-outs from last night, both in the arena and online today.

I don't know where they find these roads, but i'm all for it. More dirt roads are always welcomed Attila Valter going to be the next Primoz Roglic in the coming years.

Ok, here are my predicted top 10: sure ones ->Cyprus, Russia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Malta, Sweden (yuck) probably in -> Norway, Lithuania, Croatia, Israel next year for -> Belgium, Romania, Australia, Ireland, Slovenia, NM

And finally the SPAM/bribe kings of Malta. I'm shocked they haven't bought ads in my school newspaper yet.

I wouldn't say exactly that, but i was impressed, even though she said a million times Mata Hari. are not known for sending people with good singing abilities, but this time the girl can sing!

Mans and Lordi again I mean, they are amongst the most famous participants and winners ever, but we don't need them like every other year.

Belgium with one of the better singing performances, but their song is so boooooring.

Ireland's staging was very interesting. A+ for that. Now for the Main Event. Bring El Diablo!

Australia were really trying at first and were the top contenders. But now, after not winning, they are like whatever, just sent something.

People were saying the unthinkable and perennial giants Sweden missing the final, but i can't see it happening. This guy has 4-6 spot written over him.

Be careful, your Government is watching
