I know we mock AI but it isn’t always wrong.

The doctrine of consideration is a cruel mistress.

Cannot stand the Austrian song, but genuinely not sure the contest would’ve survived had it not won. So…a very 2025 victory, I guess?

I mean, the U.K. track has been out for two months and hasn’t even made the top 100.

“Tiny Tim will be appearing in The Rocky Horror Show at the Bournemouth Pavilion”

"don't anybody move I've lost a contact lens"

This is just a TEENSY bit histrionic.

Yup, Psylocke has its flaws but it’s WAY better than I expected it to be.

Interesting move by Albania to include the threatening sailor.

Yeah, as Graham Norton suggested, I may not have gone with that camera angle… #Eurovision

Maybe if you understand the lyrics it makes sense when she farts fire.

This arrangement is a bit Loreen isn’t it?

Portugal certainly have the mellow 70s vote to themselves.

Switzerland didn't get rich by hosting things like this twice in a row. I detect a My Lovely Toblerone. #eurovision

The BSL during Finland was sensational #Eurovision

Germany have found the set of the Mary Whitehouse Experience.

Is this the first time a Eurovision act has requested subtitles? Amazed nobody’s done it before.

Someone just likened Latvia’s performance to a lesbian collective retelling of the Lion King and they were 1,000% right.

Latvia doing Lion King The Musical.

Slowing down for the chorus is a choice, isn’t it? Throwing Muses could get away with it. This… I don’t know. It’s growing on me a bit?

I actually like the Ukraine song but I have no idea what it’s doing in Eurovision.

Lithuania going for the 1992 NME vote I see.

I just love the fact that they took Disney’s money and gave them a Eurovision tie in with guest star Rylan Clark. Glorious.

Of course not. My mother taught me the key rules of knife fighting and my father taught me how to change the spark plugs on a Ford Cortina. I learnt about sex the usual way. From a beautiful contessa one idyllic summer as I crossed the Alps in search of Hannibal’s lost treasure.

Considering that the Prime Minister of Albania is already a foot taller than Macron, it seems downright churlish for him to stand on a higher step.
