Is there a chance that by calling her song Lisboa, she turned 80% of the audience against her?

Sorry, what do you mean it didn't get through?

Did one of the dancers get changed out of his silver suit after the performance or something? #songvakeppnin

Maybe Golden Hour is the one. #chefsache

I'd probably enjoy bopping along to These Days in a tiny London sweatbox #chefsache

How is Germany still going? #chefsache

Surprised Words isn't getting more love. #songvakeppnin

Lyza thought "what if Emmy from Ireland, but country" #chefsache

Empress from Julika is halfway there to a competitive song. Not much of a chorus though. #chefsache

I can imagine This Bliss being a fun jam session on Jools Holland, but can't imagine it at Eurovision. #chefsache

We seem to still be going in Germany. Going to hear a Eurovision any minute now. #chefaache

It's like that day in PE when they got the apparatus out. #songvakeppnin

Iceland can't send yeehaw, that's our thing. #songvakeppnin

Iceland have to send Jædward. #songvakeppnin

Not one rhyme with higher or desire. Disappointed. #songvakeppnin

This would’ve popped off at Eurovision 1990 #Songvakeppnin

Adeina Lengur is sweet. #songvakeppnin

Twins? #songvakeppnin

Hosts are aggressive friendly #songvakeppnin

Why would you call your band Cosby in 2025? #chefsache

"Revolution" isn't just a shameless attempt to repeat prior successes, but even worse in my eyes-- it's so utterly tone deaf to the global mood right now. "People that will change the world"?!? "Anything is possible"?!?!?! It's like someone physically forcing you to smile. "Everything is fine! 😁"

I cannot take that performance seriously. It looked like Måns was lost in a vulva 2 minutes and then, well, there was a lot of white stuff spraying at him. Just saying. Sweden please, do not send that 🙃 #Melfest #Melodifestivalen #Eurovision #Eurovision2025

I was under the impression you weren't allowed confetti at Eurovision, because of the cleanup time before the next song. #chefsache

Ok, Revolution works on TV and Måns remains a hugely charismatic performer who can easily carry this song to a melfest win. A possible contender at Eurovision, but not sure if the chorus is strong enough. #melfest

Benjamin starts sitting in the crowd and I just feel really awkward for the audience members who have to sit next to him, rapt by his earnest guitar ballad. #chefsache

Feuerschwanz up first. They have to be odds on to win, because nothing is beating men in armour this season. #chefsache

Anyone know how I watch the German semi? Can't get in to RTL+ yet

I hadn't realised until Sanremo week that Angelina Mango has had to take a break from music and seems to have basically got burnt out after Sanremo and Eurovision and touring. I suspect her difficult year post Sanremo is why Olly said no. I'm not sure if we should be making jokes about Imagine.

It's happening!

#Eurovision 2025 - full of people in armor and then the guy who is "No tough guy here!" #teamnotatoughguy

I bought tickets for Joost in London in the immediate aftermath of Europapa, but I've sold them as I can't imagine it being fun anymore. I don't have a particular problem with today's song. It's about the hypocrisy of the EBU's political neutrality. It's just done in a dumb childish way.

If only Elon had experienced Spirit In The Sky by Keiino in person, he would have emerged with a completely different outlook on life.

Someone has a six figure payout coming her way from Sanremo Staircase Solutions Ltd to fund a Eurovision bid.

That could end up being my favourite Azerbaijani entry. It's really good.

Second year in a row that I won all my FantaSanremo leagues. Maybe I'll have to write a guide next year and pass on all my secrets.

I've seen a few places claiming that Lucio Corsi would accept Eurovision if offered. Anyone know of a source that isn't Eurovisionfun? (@pisceanmantissa.bsky.social?)

This hasn't been a strong year up to now. All I ask from Måns is that he gives us something that boosts the overall standard of Basel 2025. Sweden certainly isn't doing that so far.
