Well.. I listened to them, and they are all awful! I generally don't like modern music, but I ussually find something to like in Eurovision... not this year! France seems to be the only one that is listenable. Finland? Good Lord. The highlight of the song is supposed to be when his pants arrive from the ceiling? Who comes up with this stuff? I figure everyone is going to dump on Israel this year, although Eurovision is not supposed to be political. Sad, really. The only really FANTASTIC song of the last 3 years was from Sweden, and it didn't even win Melodifestivalen.

I'm happy that Luxembourg advanced to the final. They were my favourite last night in the first semi-final.  And I always like hearing a bit of French.

I keep hearing that Croatia is one of the favourites to win, and that seems incomprehensible to me. That song (if you can call it that) is more than a little influenced by Finland's entry last year.

Ukraine was my personal winner last night, and it will easily come top 3 in the Grand Final. I was also pleasantly surprised by Lithuania's and Slovenia's live performances. Sweden and the UK delivered as well.

Meanwhile, both Australia and Azerbaijan, which I adore in their studio versions, completely fell flat on stage, so their NQ was inevitable.

From semi-final 2 these countries qualified to final.

  • Latvia
  • Austria
  • The Netherlands
  • Norway
  • Israel
  • Greece
  • Estonia
  • Switzerland
  • Georgia
  • Armenia

These did not qualify

  • Belgium
  • Malta
  • Albania
  • Czechia
  • Denmark
  • San Marino

I'm gobsmacked that Estonia and the Netherlands qualified. But that's what you get when you leave the decision entirely in the hands of the public.

Quite an eventful year this year....  First all of the commotion and controversy surrounding Israel's participation, and now the Dutch artist Joost Klein is under investigation for an alleged violent incident towards a female crew member. He won't be performing during the rehearsals this evening, so the juries will see a tape of his performance from the semi-final instead. (The jury votes are placed based on tonight's rehearsal)

Yep, it sounds pretty serious since they've post-poned the public voting now (it was supposed to open at midnight). I doubt they'd consider disqualifying him over something non-serious because trying to fill three extra minutes in a tight live show is a nightmare.

After all the commotion, Switzerland emerged as the winner of this year's Eurovision Song Contest. Not exactly my personal favourite, but that is usually the case for me.

    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...

    • And based on the previews for today, maybe we’ll, uh, finally see something

    • Haven't seen today's ep yet but so will be interested to see the clothes. So far I think they have been very character specific (even if I don't like some of them eg Kat's cutsie style) Anita is very showy/glittery, Nicole classic elegance, Dani sexy/bold colors etc. Unlike Y&R which seems much more generic. Also BTG pays attention to the men's wardrobe and has developed a style for the boyz-which is harder to do with male fashion. The absence of any of Derek/Ashley at any of these big events again demonstrates how they are in a different universe to the rest of the show. Not that a nurse and a fireman would be there but still they seem destined at this point to stay in their own lane and have little interaction with the core of the show.
    • Agnes had written for Bernard Grant for many years on TGL as well as Ernest Graves and Joe Gallison,Doris Belack,Robert Milli,and  Antony Ponzini at AW. So she would probably gravitate to writing a role with an actor in mind or choosing someone she had written for before who she knew could deliver.
    • Once Johnny Dallas' cut himself off from Laurie Ann Karr and their son, and once Laurie successfully recovered from her mental problems, she wanted a new, fresh, and healthy start for the next chapter of her life. She legally reverted her name and changed John Victor's  surname to Karr. After moving to the country (when Teri  Keane was dropped from the show), Bill and Martha Marceau legally adopted Jennifer, the baby girl whom they had earlier taken in when the child's biological mother, Taffy Simms (and other bio family members) proved to be unfit to raise her. Jennifer legally and emotionally became a Marceau, and gave that name to her own daughter, whom Jennifer birthed through surrogacy as a single parent. Et...voila! The Karr and Marceau legacies live on.

    • BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this. 
    • Yes she absolutely was involved in that story which seems to have gone nowhere.  She didn't start to remove herself from the writing until 1973.
    • Y'all are bringing back great memories of AMC 2.0 for me.  I haven't thought about it and the new characters in so long, well since it aired, and I plan to go re-watch it now. When AMC ended, I finally came to peace with it and accepted that I will never watch an hour of a TV show daily in my life again... something that I had been doing since I was 6-7 years old. I was starting a new career, relationship, and chapter in life when AMC 2.0 came out.  I found a way to watch it, but things felt differently for me at the time and when it was so short-lived and gone, it became such a distant memory, sadly.
