       Quite different version of last year’s winner. At least it still has the flutes.#eurovision #ESC

       And there’s the obligatory Verka. Personally, I would have preferred hearing all of Shum again, though. I really liked it two years ago.#eurovision #ESC

       Austria probably has the second catchiest chorus of the evening. And the background visuals are amusing. But I think we can quoth the raven about their chances of winning with this one.#eurovision #ESC

       And the tallest dress award goes to France. The song itself sounds like a very generic French affair, sorry. Builds a little towards the end, but not enough.#eurovision #ESC

       Cyprus still relies mainly on the male gaze. Only this time it’s for gay men instead of straight ones. The song itself reminds me way too much of Duncan Laurence’s Arcade from a few years ago with those whooo-oooo-oooos.#eurovision #ESC

       Spain was certainly different. I would have expected something like this more from the Eastern European countries.#eurovision #ESC

       Sweden is one of the biggest front runners for the winner, and Loreen is unquestionably a great performer, but the whole thing feels perhaps a bit too calculated, and the song still isn’t quite on the same level with Euphoria. And those nails…#eurovision #ESC

       Finland’s entry starts up like a poor man’s Rammstein pastiche, but it has the catchiest chorus of them all this year, and the performance gets even crazier towards the end. The pink human centipede…#eurovision #ESC

       Czechia has a great style with the all pink outfits and the killer ponytails, but I wish they would have left out the gratuitous English from the song.#eurovision #ESC

       Belgium has a big hat, and the song isn’t terrible, but it’s an utterly average Eurovision fare that comes thirteen to a dozen.#eurovision #ESC

       Ukraine, despite everything, does not really do it for me this year. There were some playful things done with the background animations, but even those were a little off.#eurovision #ESC

       Now we’re talking! Germany bringing in industrial metal, with one of the most outrageous costumes of the year, and this year that is really saying something.#eurovision #ESC
