Thoughts:

THEY KILLED MY GIRL. Opening isn’t great for Austria, but they put Portugal in the kill spot. I know she’s not a favorite to win but COME ON.

France not winning even as an outside chance now. If I am wrong I will be delighted, but also I will let y’all vote on me liveblogging an ep of something I hate if she wins MARK THIS SPACE.

Finland’s gotta be happy with that spot, it’s about the best they could hope for given the draw.

Australia not in a great spot, I would have thought they’d be in a better spot but maybe they didn’t do well in televote, or maybe the stage is going to work different from how I think and this is gonna end up hurting Czechia more than them.

Israel’s spot is FANTASTIC, i think if she lands it they might even top 10, or better.

Croatia’s spot seems to indicate it maybe..placed really high in the televote? We won’t know until after the competition when they release numbers, I’m only going off historical stuff, but still, I’m shocked and pleased!

I’m a big fan of totally random draw run orders for the final because run order DOES make a difference, sometimes a very large one, so I don’t love that producers can set up a winners nudge. BUT, I know “euro neuro” opening pretty much killed that, so I would settle for QUARTER draws instead of half draws. spots 1-7 first quarter 8-13 second quarter 14-20 3rd quarter 21-26 fourth quarter you get it. That still leaves a lot of flexibility for the producers while semi-assigning difficult spots to win from.

EXCITED FOR SATURDAY!!!!!!!

My thoughts on the Final Eurovision songs in order of performance tonight. Keep in mind, I haven't listened to most of these songs more than once and I'm an unapologetic ballad enjoyer.

Overall, I genuinely think, there are so many amazing singers this year, I was super surprised during the semi finals. Their voices are incredible.

Who the Hell is Edgar? - Austria It grows on me, wasn't an instant love and definitely not my favourite but it's fun.

Ai Coração - Portugal I unironically really enjoy this one. Plus, it's in Portuguese so that's an extra point for me.

Watergun - Switzerland It's probably controversial for me to say but I really really like this one. Is it a bit tone-deaf? Uh year, definitely but I do have this in my favourites regardless of that.

Solo - Poland Now this one is really growing on me. Is it one of the best songs? no. Is it groundbreaking? absolutely not but it's a fun song to casually listen to. I can definitely imagine this will get played on the radio a lot after Eurovision.

Samo Mi Se Spava - Serbia Not my cup of tea, I fear. I don't hate it and don't dislike it as much as I did when I first heard it. Plus, it has the native language so that's a plus point.

Évidemment - France Just listened to it for the very first time and I think I like it. It's not a winner song but it's not bad.

Break A Broken Heart - Cyprus His voice really surprised me in the semi-final and I'm glad Cyprus qualified because I really like this song. Yes, it's a "boring" ballad but whatever.

Eaea - Spain Not a song I would actively search for to listen to again but it's not awful either.

Tattoo - Sweden Why the hell did no one tell me that LOREEN is back?! Another "boring" ballad that I really adore. Her voice is incredible and I'm glad she's back but I understand why people find this boring.

Duje - Albania If you can be sure of something, then it's that I rarely vibe with Albania's entries, this year isn't much different. Although, I have to admit I already like it better than the first time I listened to it. I like the chorus and they sing in Albanian which is pretty nice.

Due Vite - Italy Just heard it for the first time and it's really nice. I don't think it'll stand out much but I like it a lot.

Bridges - Estonia A lovely ballad but I fear it's a bit forgettable.

Cha Cha Cha - Finland Now let me tell you, I didn't like this one at all the first time I heard it. The last Chorus was fine to me but everything else was a big no. Since then, it was grown on me A LOT. Now, I really enjoy it and I can't sit still when this plays. I definitely see the appeal.

My Sister's Crown - Czechia I actually kinda like this? I like the chorus, at least. I love that they sing in four different languages. Hello? That's incredible.

Promise - Australia I'm actually 50/50 about this. I love the retro vibe, it's fun and vibey but the metal part is not my thing at all. So I don't like that but other than that part, I enjoy this one.

Because of You - Belgium It's vibey and funky, I enjoy it but I don't love it.

Future Lover - Armenia Another "boring" ballad that I actually enjoy. Plus, there are Armenian parts in this one which sounds lovely. It's not in my favorites and I think it won't stand out but it's a nice song.

Soarele şi Luna - Moldova This one is super interesting and I'm unsure how I feel about it. I don't dislike it but I don't love it either. But he sings in Romanian, plus point, and it's kinda vibey so yeah, I don't know.

Heart of Steel - Ukraine A great entry. I actually really like it and it will go in my playlist. I don't love all parts of the song but it's a good one. Plus, there's Ukrainian.

Queen of Kings - Norway I'm unsure about this one, honestly. I like it a lot but I don't love it. At least not after listening to it twice. But it has me bopping along.

Blood & Glitter - Germany Just listened to it for the first time and it's not for me. I'm just not a metal fan but it has good parts that I enjoy.

Stay - Lithuania And another "boring" ballad. I like her voice a lot and I do enjoy the song.

Unicorn - Israel I'm 50/50 about it. I like the beginning, the pre-chorus and the chorus but I don't love the second half of the song. Maybe it's a song that'll need to grow on me.

Carpe Diem - Slovenia I actually really enjoy this one a lot. It's really funky and kinda fun and they sing in Slovenian. But I don't know if it'll be memorable in all of this. I hope so.

Mama ŠČ! - Croatia Not for me, I fear. I don't hate it but I probably wouldn't listen to it again after this.

I Wrote a Song - UK Apparently, everyone here hates this. I don't know. I don't hate it, I don't love it either. It's vibey but pretty forgettable.
