Greece, France and Luxembourg were my three clear favourites. I think Greece especially had a phenomenal staging. So beautiful. And Klavdia sang fantastic.

France also had beautiful staging and Louane sang her heart out.

Finally Luxembourg, who had a vastly improved stage show compared to the national final, and I loved the nod to France Gall on the little tv screen in the dollhouse.

I think this has been one of the best years in a long time. In no small part due to the fact that so many countries have chosen to sing in their native language. Songs like the ones from Greece and Latvia have benefitted immensely from this, and made those two personal favourites of mine. I think Greece has the most incredibly beautiful staging and Klavdia's voice is outstanding. I don't think she has any real chance of winning, but if she did I would be ecstatic. Luxembourg is another favourite of mine and Laura (with her dancers) really sold that song with the new staging. Her performance in the final was flawless and I will be very disappointed if she doesn't improve on last year's result for Luxembourg (13th).

Yeah, as you wrote, an Israeli win would have been a political disaster.

Congratulations to Austria.

0 points from the televoting to Switzerland was a disgrace. Other than that, I really enjoyed the show ... but I'm also glad that Eurovision season is over

It's obvious that Israel's presence is a major divisive issue, and this is something that the EBU needs to deal with. According to the now published results Israel got 13 out of a possible 19 max points in the semi-final, and while their song isn't bad there's no way they would get those numbers without some kind of manipulation/political voting. They are clearly using this contest as a way of improving their somewhat tarnished reputation.

I know that some people are comparing this to the massive sympathy votes that Ukraine gets and which propelled them to victory in 2022, but I feel that that was a more genuine show of support than this concerted effort from Israel to influence the televoting. I even had an ad on Youtube from Israel in Swedish(!) asking for votes! It might not be against any rules, but it feels a bit icky nonetheless.

My husband made me watch and endure this thing... and I was disgusted by how awful nearly everything sounded. Most of the songs are not B-level Madonna songs. The more melodic ones... were all so boring. I liked the winning song. That was the top for me.

Where did I say that you weren't allowed to say anything? Personally I just find "disgusted" a very strong word, and not something I would use for such a trivial matter as a song contest. You obviously do, and that's your prerogative, just as it is mine to disagree.

OK. No harm done. Agree to disagree... (Even thought I'm not sure about what...

Anyways... I did really feel disgusted by Eurovision this year and I doubt I'll watch this horrific musical torture in the future. My ears and my psyche will not survive.

    • So there we have Lily and Damian in the same clothes, so the same day having 2  meet ups in different venues. Just about sums up the show and I'm sure there was a lot of talk about business. And they make NO effort to cover up that CL has no customers. I would feel uncomfortable sitting in an empty space. And anyone who wants to defend that set after looking at those pics, go ahead. Sharon must be losing a fortune on that place, maybe that's why she's decided against an update. For some reason,CL loses out on having extras.At least the other venues might have 4 or so people milling around.
    • Yes a mark on the fridge from him cleaning is essentially leading to a break up. I don’t even like Derek but Ashley is an ass.hole.
    • I read somewhere that Prior to Estelle's Return the character was played on flashbacks by Linda Cook, is it true? I have no idea where to look to see if that's true PS: love Linda Cook but Domini Blythe was a find as Estelle Kendall, loving her!
    • TPTB are dragging out the Alexander Dumas reveal way to long.  We really aren't any closer to knowing who he is than we were months ago when his name was first mentioned,  I really don't mind a lengthy soap opera plot, in fact I kind of prefer them.  But this is crazy.  Give us some hints, give us some red herrings, give us some cryptic evidence.  And for God's sake, show us who he is.  And it BETTER be good...   But knowing this head writer, I doubt the reveal will be anything exciting.  Just another outside force coming into town to cause trouble.   I hope I'm wrong.   
    • The only Camden kid I liked was Mary... and I don't know if Jessica Biel would want to go back to playing that character or not.
    • I've been liking the writing for them lately. Positioning them, and Johnny/Chanel as the two main, frontburner couples was a really good idea.
    • I've never cared for Xander, and I find him and Sarah so boring together.
    • I think in some ways the story could have been stronger because Wendy and Stephanie had a more nuanced mother-daughter relationship and Lisa Peluso could act, but I don't really think Louise worked as Stephanie, so the impact wouldn't have been the same.  That would be a better way to bring drama than another serial killer story. And Sarah probably would have snapped and Jo would have been held hostage again... As someone said above, I do wonder why Philip Brown didn't last longer. Then again, I'm not sure why Kevin Conroy didn't last longer either. 
    • That thought crossed my mind too but I really don't want Kate to cheat on Roman

      And Paul Telfer does it so well
    • Bored or just bored with story or character: Ashley Derek Pamela Vanessa Doug Joey aka Jon Lindstrom....he truly sucks in the role. The gambling set, gambling story hate and bored with a passion. Dani and Andre in bed every five seconds.....yawn! Diego the fitness guy....yawn!! Today's show, minus Kat, Eva, and Jacob/Leslie sprinkled in, was very boring!
