Missed Petra tonight

Mans and Petra were the best hosts, followed by the Danish hosts in 2014.

Love Love Peace Peace was a cracker.

Oh wow the Italy song in the amphitheater (Colosseum?) is stunning.

Welsh Megaman

Shame that Riverdance thingy never caught on.

Caprica

I agree with Mans & Petra, two fantastic hosts. Love Love Peace Peace was a great interval, second only to Riverdance.

Am sure I saw Petra for a split second on the split screen when superfans were signing along to What's Another Year at the start.

I loved her "Swedish Smorgasbord" when she presented it on her own.

Ha I'm not talking about Mans I meant the guy this year in Rotterdam.
I liked him and Petra as hosts, good chemistry

My mistake ha.

I always get very defensive when it comes to Mans.

Welsh Megaman

I miss the oddball contestants at Eurovision

That Moldova double act My Lucky Day is one of my favourites. That staging was deadly.

Lill Lindfors for me was the best host ever,she hosted the contest back in 1985 and looked off her head for the whole show, she did an impromptu Dress change in front of all the viewers at the interval ,which had everyone laughing,it’s on YouTube and worth checking out,,,

Romania was excellent in 2017 with the yodelling and the very awkward kiss at the end :pac:

That was an enjoyable hour on BBC2.

Didn't see much of the Shine a Light show tonight but caught the "Love Shine a Light" montage with the artists and thought it was nice, very well put together and really good of them all to participate....except it turns out they didn't quite all participate; I didn't notice at the time but Hooverphonic from Belgium weren't in the clip. Supposedly one of the members of the band said in an interview that he hated the song, so they didn't take part in it (at least that's what's been said on Twitter anyway, don't know if there's a reliable source for it). If that's true then it's a pretty disrespectful move, especially considering Hooverphonic are already confirmed as representing Belgium next year.

Oh that reminds me: in case people don't know, Daði Freyr is playing two nights in Dublin in December (COVID-19 allowing), tickets are only €15. Hopefully he'll have Gagnamagnið with him too!

My final ranking for the class of 2020 that never was

12 Denmark
10 Russia
8 Finland
7 Lithuania
6 Iceland
5 Malta
4 Sweden
3 Bulgaria
2 Switzerland
1 Ireland

Honourable mentions to Belarus, Australia, Germany, Italy, Latvia and Norway who just missed out. Probably not a coincidence that it was the Irish song that just snuck in ahead of them.

Just watched the entire performance of Diodato in Verona Arena.

It's very special, seriously hairs on back of neck stuff.

In my opinion, he'd have walked it.

Italy are THE heavyweight but for some insane reason they hardly ever win

They've come very close in recent years : finished second twice in the last ten years and third another year

Yeah, Italy are due a win I think. Wouldn't have minded them winning last year but Duncan was my first choice. Imagine if Soldi had won last year though, and Italy were due to host?! Would've been cancelled even sooner than it was.
