    Comment - "If Russia wins, they should give the trophy to the graphic designer."

    This is the 1st time I've heard our song, I'm not expecting much

    yes i do, but not on that scale. The Russian guy was using top end stuff but agree it's amazing what you can do with it. I missed Spain! The Australian had better vocals than the Russian but he did the whole package.

    How can you watch that crap, Beth/Ellers etc, the voting is fixed & songs are a joke & laughable & we come in bottom 6, let's us know the score though!

    I'm not enjoying Justin Timberlake but then again I have an instant dislike to anyone with the initials JT, can't think where that comes from

    The only ones I saw were Russia, Spain, Lativia and Austria (which I spent wondering why she was singing in what seemed to be heavily accented French). Oh and Croatia, featuring a woman dressed as a tent. Spain by a mile, though the Russian visuals were great, bit of a dirgy song.

    I am pretty sure that I have watched more this year than I have ever watched before in total, 5 complete songs! I think that will suffice for my lifetime.

    I have learned that trying to do humour that translates for how ever many countries are involved is rather painful.

    The interval song Love love peace peace...was the best thing all night.
    And the best since river dance.
    The man in the hamster wheel made me laugh out loud...

    I suppose this incredibly tedious trip around TV studios around the world with a screenshot of some local tourist spot is the whole point of Eurovision, to show that the satellites really work.

    Was the Aussie song any good?

    I thought he was pretty good and think he should win it. I've only been watching since the lady from Malta was on and carried on watching for some strange reason.

    If we vote to leave the EU do we have to leave the Eurovision SC as well?

    How come Australia are in it?

    Australia, Russia and Israel ... the three countries that aren't actually in Europe.

    Aussie person awarding the points with a plastic deconstructed birds nest around her neck. Outstanding.
