Crikey it's even more dire than usual

After years of failing to reach the final Ireland have a witch performing for them.
We'll see how that works for them later.

Bambie Thug made it through to the final for Ireland. Along with the Finland act with the man without any trousers.

Australia out - probably as surprise

What's the predictiion for British entry tonight? I hope we can finish in at least the top 15

the organisers are going to be in a very diificult position if Israel win and the Gaza war is still ongoing this time next year.

I believe that the Netherland entry was refused to perform yesterday in the rehearsals due to problems regarding the lyrics being political.
Voting panels in the countries watch the performance and mark them. Aparently they watch a practice recording of his performance.

I don't know what's going to happen in tonights final with him.

I wonder if they refuse him to perform how many others will not perform in support of his exclusion - if it happens.

Could this become the most notorious eurovision in years?

Let's face it musicians use their music to make political points and do it very well so surely if he is excluded from performing tonight, he is also facing a freedom of speech exclusion too? It would be a miracle if he has to re write it hours before the final. I certainly do think the EBU is being very touchy feel y about what can be sung and what can't be sung this year.
