    edit: whoa dang she actually was on stage? For the first 2/3s I really thought that was a remote entry like Australia's just from the feel of it, the close framing and all the setpieces. Okay, actually kind of technically impressive, even if it isn't one of my favourite performances

    That was a failure of properly introducing people to your practical effects

    If anyone's been wondering about the lack of Belarus, the band which was supposed to represent the country in 2019 got replaced for supporting the pro-democracy movement

    So the broadcaster found some awful right-wing band who got themselves banned from the contest

    Sweden's song is unfortunately pretty much An Actual Good Pop Song which is often a disqualifying factor for me unless you're also bringing some dance madness

    Our fun and crazy Eurovision-style entries usually get stuck in the Swedish competition since we not only have a popular vote but also a "professional international jury" who always vote for whatever is going to sell.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again: BAN ACTUAL JURIES FROM EUROVISION

    I both love and hate the fact that it's impossible for me to say if that's true or not

    Duncan Lawrence tested positive for COVID-19:

    We're sorry to have to break this news about our current champion, and wish him a speedy recovery.
    The Eurovision account is the official account for Eurovision.

    From the linked article:
    Duncan Laurence, winner of the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest for the Netherlands and was scheduled to perform live during Saturday’s Grand Final, has tested positive for COVID-19, his management and the Host Broadcaster have confirmed. Duncan has mild symptoms. Because of the 7 day minimum isolation period, Duncan will not be able to perform live in the Ahoy venue in Rotterdam, but will still feature in the show in a different form.

    Last Monday, Duncan tested negative in the Eurovision Test Pavilion, which granted him access to the venue for his performance in the first Semi-Final. On Wednesday, he showed mild symptoms and then unfortunately delivered a positive result in a rapid antigen test.

    That sucks pretty hard. He was in close quarters with folks, including at least one of the hosts. It would be really horrible if this turned into a super spreader event.

    I liked Iceland's song, but the nerdy affectation was kind of annoying.

    The keytar circle owned though.

    Apparently the guy has been weird all week, not taking the repetitions seriously and being rude to people

    At least according to the Swedish commentators
