Sadly the bookmakers dont rate her chances of even being top 15.

Bookies favourite; Cyprus

Yes, a much needed and refreshing change of topic.

I like UK's song and I really don't like Cyprus song, the girl reminds of the lead singer of that US group named Pussycat Dolls whose timbre I found irritating; however she's very beautiful, I'll give her that.

Italy entry this year is an engagé song from two Italian singer songwriters that revolves around the theme of terrorism and peace, I liked it but I haven't heard it much on the radio:



P.S. Ryan Reynolds just gained my respect

I can't say I like the Italian entry much. Perhaps if I understood the words I'd like it better. On the tune alone...meh.
UK now projected to be last according to the betting.
I'll stick my neck out and predict Saraa Aalto from Finland as the winner.

Wow, drama at Eurovision. Somebody just invaded the stage and disrupted SuRie's performance. Much credit to her- she kept her composure and carried on really well. Very lax security.

UK third last.
******g stupid event. Time we pulled out

[SisterNightroad]

I hadn't seen yesterday because it happened while I was deeply entranced in the preparations for the big lunch for Mother's day but I've searched for the video of the intrusion today and it was really ridiculous, thankfully it lasted only a few seconds but it's not the first time it happens, last year a man showed his arse on the stage for god'd sake.
Italy reached the fifth place, it's not bad, better than I expected but obviously it won the most extravagant performance in the event's truest style, we shouldn't be surprised.
However I've discovered this year that the Eurovision's Youtube channel has a subtitles feature so that all viewers can understand the lyrics of the competing songs, next year I'll make sure to use it.
