My favourite era was the 60s and 70s. My earliest memory was Sandy Shaw winning with Puppet on a String. Sadly they don’t do typical Eurovision songs anymore- upbeat, sing-a-long songs that are remembered years after. Our last winner - Katrina was on This Morning on Friday. I can’t believe it’s 25 years ago since she won! Good luck to Sam for tonight.

If I wasn't affected by strobe lighting before I certainly will be by the end of tonight.

Are you supposed to be able to vote on the app? I’ve downloaded but I see nothing to do with voting.

I watched a preview of all of them on YouTube. Ours is definitely the best, I also like Poland and France.

I watched the semis (oh er missis!), I liked Slovenia which didn't get through as it was a typical 'euro" Eurovision song.

Sam performed that wonderfully. We are by FAR the best.

Great performance. If we end up on the left hand side of the board I'll be happy.

I did laugh out loud when Graham Norton said about Systur “and thanks for Princess Beatrice tagging along” 😆

Spain was rather easy on the eye. Assuming UK doesn't win, I wouldn't mind Spain winning so they perform again!!

Sam did really well, he can hold his head high no matter the result.
No great stand out performances to me - Estonia was a catchy song, as was Norway. I also enjoyed Netherlands and Sweden.

Watching from France is a very different experience.
The commentators have been so snarky about everyone who sang in English.

I suppose France can feel more superior than they usually do because theirs was in Breton/Celt or whatever it was. I loved their song but it had more Indian vibes for me so.. sorry France!

Even the French didn't! I still don't know why commentary is also on French. I would have thought English and the language of the country.

I wonder if Mika might end up hosting again if the UK were to win? I didn't realise he was so popular in Italy.

My kids are watching this with me- they’ve never seen the UK get more than a point or two, and we are all sat here in disbelief
