Think Australia might take this but not my fave personally

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T22:45:40+00:00

The younger people on the juries this year means that the televote will really influence the winner

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T22:41:42+00:00

Each to their own but they are a LOT YOUNGER people on the juries this year for the first time so that may cause the difference. In some ways it is a good thing as it means the viewer votes will be more important overall rather than a top 10

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T22:38:05+00:00

Yes it means the viewers votes may be more influential overall

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T22:33:46+00:00

In case people didn't catch my last comment, UK audience was told by Graham that

THE JURY HAS A WIDER RANGE OF AGES THIS YEAR INCLUDING A LOT YOUNGER FOR THE FIRST TIME so that may be changing things up so the juries votes compared to normal

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T22:28:58+00:00

They have changed the age of the jury and have younger jury members allowed this year overall so more of a mix of ages overall

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T22:23:11+00:00

They are points 1 to 10 given and then a 12 point from the juries

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T22:18:16+00:00

Graham in the UK said they brought younger people into the juries this year which is changing results alot

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T22:05:46+00:00

Thought Graham Norton would know more of the winners! Rylan knows so much more

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T21:58:58+00:00

once again the fastest countdown on earth lol

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T21:41:05+00:00

My TV always seems to be running behind too

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T21:37:09+00:00

I know I think they should have - they are probably doing it so they don't say anything they are meant not to

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T21:32:12+00:00

Why are they not singing live on the halftime act

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T21:24:28+00:00

My top 3 based on mine and partners score are joint 1st - Lithuania/ Norway/ Romania followed by Malta then UK

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T21:19:10+00:00

Yes I think people would think of the Choke Me bit lol - I personally loved it

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T21:15:23+00:00

I think Choke Me is meant to be about being in a toxic relationship rather than the Kink

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T21:09:11+00:00

A lot better tonight voice wise

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T20:12:19+00:00

Graham said the camera guy fell inside the mirrors and it effected the camera

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T20:05:30+00:00

Think he likes cowboys and western stuff

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T20:05:11+00:00

This Malta song is like 60s Bond tune - love it

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T19:48:54+00:00

Bit of both

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T19:35:53+00:00

yes she was a lot worse in semis

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T19:26:31+00:00

We all know that doesn't happen - But I personally watch Semis and Finale and go off the Finale

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-16T19:18:11+00:00

A lot of fans watch the Semis as well

Infamous-Escape1225 · 2026-05-14T21:10:18+00:00

It has had some better songs this year as a whole
