       Watched #ESC2026 semifinal 1 last night.Surprised that Sweden went to final. It's a banger of a song, but the performance was unstable.This morning I went back and listened to the performance in Melodifestivalen. If she performs like that in the ESC final, she might win.

       Even more surprised that Montenegro didn't go to final. Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, all three former Yugoslavs this semifinal had great submissions, but Montenegro was my favorite of all 15 songs last night.At least Croatia got in. Amazing performers, very cool song, but probably a bit slow for the EDM-heavy field this year. It's a real K-pop Eurodance field, and I think that's great.

       The funny little man who looked a bit lost and wandered on stage and mumbled at the end of San Marino's song was Boy George??!?

       Overall, pretty good year ... but I'll be listening to some old ESC and ESC-adjacent on my commute. 😄
