Well your sister is clearly EPIC! I would have been squealing too much to speak clearly. Was it fun? It looked like fun on TV and Hannah Waddingham is Eurovision’s true Queen.

This was my review (spread over several comments because word limit:
Once upon a time I went to a MotoGP on Phillip island in Australia. The weather was crap, all I got to see/hear of the bikes was a brief blur and a loud noise as they whizzed past,
I was freezing and bored shitless and spent most of the time thinking about how I could have been on a sofa seeing way more on the TV, whilst not being cold. Thankfully, Eurovision was not like that at all. The sun was shining and everybody there was out for a good time, and it really showed.
I didn’t see any hint of aggro anywhere and all the staff (who must have been on their knees by that point) were unfailingly cheerful, friendly and polite, even the wifi guy that I accosted in error. As you’d expect, the atmosphere was amazing, especially during popular acts like Finland
when the whole arena just kicked off; everybody was up and dancing. The staging was as slick as you’d expect, considering they only had a minute or two to swap acts. The presenters waffling with the acts/audience happened during the change of sets that needed additional props and was also seamless.
Speaking of props, we were all give a wrist band to wear that was programmed to flash different coloured lights at various points, which would have shown up on TV as the bright spots in the audience.
There were some advantages to watching it on TV, though. Some of the info was lost; for example, we could see Mel doing the Polish milkmaid thing, but had no idea it was her, or that she was even present. And scoring was a bit underwhelming because it didn’t show up well on the screens,
