#63830

The semi-finals are over and the main event is tomorrow night, where so many questions will be answered: Which country has developed the best music during the pandemic? Which has gone stir crazy tried to create its own entirely new genre? Will the UK come last yet again? Will Iceland get the win they clearly deserved last year? Will Israel’s efforts be affected by political fallout (assuming they didn’t get knocked out in the semis already – I don’t watch those)?

    I was shocked – shocked – to discover Ireland didn’t get out of the semi-final again.

    And I’m down for a watchalong tomorrow night, of course.

    Too late for me to watch really unless I get a bout of insomnia later but I am rooting for Ukraine. That tune is a banger and the singer looks like she would kill everyone if they lose.

    In that case, if Ukraine loses it will make for a much more interesting finale, so….fingers crossed!!
