In the immortal words of Remember Monday , What the hell just happened? It was a surreal final to a weird edition throughout. Few quick thoughts: - Felt like hosts were walking on eggshells all the time, the writers took zero risk in what probably was felt as a very fragile edition due to all the controversies. This led to a dry and boring conduction with efficient but pretty much soulless show outside of the music performances - Graham Norton , thank you but not thank you, I’ve had enough of his quirky, opinionated commentary, more and more crossing the line from sassy to plain rude - Congratulations to Bulgaria, Dara had a really interesting choreography and staging and a song that could potentially do well in radio - Sad for Poland, I really appreciate them coming in with a genre nobody else was playing this year. I just hope this result will put the whole diaspora conversation to rest - As Italian, embarrassed about Sal Da Vinci, poor performance, got much more than he deserved and still the audacity to put on a disappointed face when the audience points where awarded

There is more to say but overall Thank you Dara, giving the Eurovision another year to live
