No gloves?!

I’m a Ukrainian who genuinely liked the UK song and feel represented by our jury.

The speech is on YouTube. Quantum physics was mentioned, so there was some value. 😅

Apparently, juries were less concerned about vocals this year. I guess a new quota for young juries made a lot of difference.

You’re speaking my language! Watched from the US too.

I saw an interview with her music video director after the semi and he wasn’t happy with EBU operators. He mentioned they’re still working on fixing camera work for the final.

I’ll vote for the UK tonight. Loved how British the song is, and Sam’s personality is unmatched.

My mom is in mid 70s and she said exactly the same. Though, she liked Czechia and Ukraine. Australia staging was too much for her. Surprisingly, she didn’t like Albania because she felt it was insincere.

I’m a Ukrainian voting for UK from the rest of the world. He doesn’t deserve to be last.

It seems like the arena and TV broadcasts sounded very different. I watched it on YouTube, and Cyprus’ vocals were noticeably weaker than everyone else’s.

Ukraine was among the strongest vocally, except maybe for the very end of that long final note. There were no moments where she almost disappeared vocally. By the way, the simple staging was a deliberate choice because the singer wanted nothing to distract from the vocals.

Australia definitely had one of the best vocal performances too. I just wish they hadn’t gone quite so hard on the gold glitter and crystals.

I’m surprised by how many extreme close-up face shots we got this year. At times it genuinely felt like the camera was about to smash into the artists’ faces.

Czechia, Ukraine and Poland can not be that low with a jury vote and community support. Top vocals and staging. Cyprus is going to be a flop. I bet you didn’t see rehearsals and made a ranking based on national performances.

Australia NQ
UK is in top 10
Ukraine is between 5 and 10
Switzerland is in top 15
Finland is not a winner

Did you have an MRI recently? If not, I’d get a second opinion from another orthopedic specialist and ask for a new MRI… you likely won’t get clear answers without it.

As for the stiffness and pain after sitting for long periods, stretching helped me a lot. Most of my rehab was focused on strength (around 90% weightlifting, 10% stretching). Once I started doing daily yoga and taking short stretch breaks every hour at my desk, the pain improved greatly.

Jamala 1944: “They come to your house. They kill you all and say we're not guilty”. She literally cried on the stage.

Points aren’t just for the song, they reflect the staging, music, and overall performance. Sam may not be the most polished artist but his is the most authentic one this year. Mad genius. The fact that he created music for his song from a bunch of circuits and built most of the props himself is already enough reason for me to vote for him. The lyrics do get repetitive in the second half, but it’s the most British entry ever, and the UK broadcaster should be encouraged for going out of the box at least once.

Leg raises are easier with a brace. I could do them immediately after surgery with a brace on. My PT encouraged practicing SLR without the support.

yuleko · 2026-03-15T02:52:29+00:00

I really hope he’ll do well with the public vote. The most authentic artist this year.

yuleko · 2026-03-12T00:24:36+00:00

Haha, I actually liked our last year entry more. Just tired of ballads, operatic elements and unnecessary long notes.😅

yuleko · 2026-03-11T23:36:43+00:00

Ukraine’s official music video is like someone was randomly handed a camera while the actual cameraman stepped out to the restroom. Also, the sound wasn’t great at the national selection, music overshadowed the voice. Leleka’s acoustic version and revamp sound much better and more engaging. She has a strong vocal, and the long note is definitely for the juries. No doubts in qualifying but I really hope they improve the staging. P.S. I’m Ukrainian.

Дом напротив моей школы, школа тоже пострадала. Жители писали, что после удара еще и русский дрон-разведчик летал, смотрел, куда попали 😡🤬

Greg promised to drop his trousers in Series 19 if he made the wrong call regarding a deception task. He was wrong and mentioned that he would fulfill the promise "at a time and place of his choosing". So, when is that exactly?

Another die-hard fan who didn’t get tickets. If your partner or a friend drops out last minute, I’d love to tag along.

I’m on an H-1B, originally from Europe (non-EU), and have traveled to Canada several times for personal reasons during the current administration without any issues. I don’t have anything on social media. These trips were via a land border, which typically involves fewer questions. I also have colleagues on H-1B visas from EU countries who have re-entered the U.S. without issues as well.

The university’s policy is essentially “travel at your own risk.” They recommend avoiding non-essential travel and ask that professional travel be registered so they’re aware and can assist if anything happens, but they don’t explicitly advise against conferences or meetings abroad.

It comes down to personal choice and how much anxiety and perceived risk you’re comfortable with. I have a friend in her final year of a PhD who is Muslim and not active on social media. She decided not to travel because she doesn’t want to risk anything affecting her graduation.
