Yes, last year the bookies told us Itay will win. So who knows. Also, Jess is a good live performer so I do expect her to finish in the top 5.

After watching that "Top 40 songs" special last night (which I'm pretty sure was a repeat from last year fwiw), I've now realised I have a type when it comes to favourite Eurovision songs - ballads sung by women with a powerful chorus and fairly simple choreography/set design. Songs live "Euphoria" by Sweden in 2012, "One Million Voices" by Russia in 2015, "1944" by Ukraine in 2016 and "Your Love" by ?Estonia in (I think) 2015.
Are there any good songs this year that fit the brief?

From memory, I think there may be a few! I loved "1944". You might like Greece's entry. I feel like it will have simple set design too, and it has a lovely chorus.

I also like the Greek entry, a nice simple song with an important message. Israel is favourite to win but now I find the song annoying.
The French one has a cool beat with a very avant garde look.
Belgium is a nice slow song with a powerful chorus.
5am! too early, I will watch the delayed telecast.

Yep, I do remember when she won that!! I liked the song. However I now think it's a tad overrated
I can't remember getting the alert from Jack tagging me on this?

If there's one thing you must do in life before you die, is watch at least ONE Grand Final of Eurovision.

I watched it back in the 80s/90s. I was youngish then and didn't know better.

I've never seen the old Eurovision but started watching around the late 90s with Terry Wogan commentating, he was hilarious.

Anyway watch it, the special effects is so much better.

I discovered in the late 00s... I remember channel flicking and coming across Alexander Rybak's "Fairytale" (2009). I was simultaneously amused and intrigued. I didn't start watching it seriously until a few years later though! Now I listen to all the songs before they are performed live, and since Australia's been in it, I've gotten up early to vote and watch it live for REAL. You could say I'm a tad obsessed hahahaa

Haha when I watched it was Julia Zemiro and Sam Pang, and they were brilliant. I'm still sad that they aren't there anymore

I'm not sure whether they were 'fired' to bring in fresh blood, or whether one or both decided they didn't want to do it anymore. Either way I was sad! I do like Myf and Joel though.

Sam Pang was perfect for eurovision, I was surprised to hear he left . I suppose he is busy with other TV and radio programs nowadays
I don't mind Joel and Myf
