I am in Sicily, but in Finland there is a real Käärijä & Cha Cha Cha hystery going on. Lots of green bakery in honour to him, a barber shop giving free Käärijä hairdos ? , his hometowns putting virtually 7 Käärijäs to their town arms instead of 7 other emblems....

Some Finns seem to be sure that Finland will win.

 

[airgelaal]

I'm here

 

[miffy]

Wheeee

 

[marbri]

insert country. getting that out of the way before the show starts

 

[my little pony]

all these little nods to Ukraine in addition to seasonal allergies making me weepy

 

[Hanna]

Ok why is this making me ? already

 

[airgelaal]

The Hardkiss

 

[airgelaal]

So colorful

 

[marbri]

Ah yes, the scooter that is taking over the world.

 

[allezfred]

Love how the show is incorporating Ukraine and rightly so. ? ?

 

[marbri]

Interesting that this song is so high in the bettings odds ?‍

 

[miffy]

Love Norway, I hope going first doesn’t screw their chances, especially as it’s televotes only. Great vocals, catchy song and love her outfit.

 

[Ananas Astra]

Norway...meh...

 

[airgelaal]

Something doesn't sound right to me...

 

[my little pony]

I love Norway, it's like they wrote a song around "the North remembers"

 

[Ananas Astra]

Just finished marking tests, got myself some champagne and am very much ready to get into the Eurovision mood.
Our party for Saturday is planned, so now I can relax.

 

[miffy]

I feel better in my sweater?!

 

[Ananas Astra]

I used to have a pupil whose last name was "Busker". It would've been something to see him perform for Malta at Eurovision.

Malta is fun, I need them at the final.
OTOH, their sax guy is not nearly as epic as the original Moldovian one.

Bring back Keiino!

 

[Ananas Astra]

I feel better in my sweater?!

I absolutely am feeling this.

 

[PRlady]

Malta is tacky even by Eurovision standards.

 

[airgelaal]

Another sax guy

 

[Ananas Astra]

Malta could single-handedly win one of our bingo cards for Eurovision. This has everything! Love it.

 

[marbri]

Trying to channel Bruno Mars?

 

[Hanna]

I'm a few minutes behind to start but wheeeeee Norway, one of my faves

A little of key in a few places but nothing catastrophic

 

[allezfred]

I feel better in my sweater are quality lyrics.

 

[miffy]

I hope his vocals improve when he gets up..
