h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Armenia a gentle ballad about going to a cafe with ‘future lover’ now warmed up to ‘panic attacks’

Moldova is another returning singer - witch doctor drums and dancing - good beat with kaval flute and the same sort of hypnotic dancing. Impressive headwear

Ukraine - duo - power ballad with impressive visuals and pipe organ chords - the song is a bit stop-start, though

Norway Queen of Kings - operatic sea shanty style with another excellent cape costume and an impressive high note

Germany ‘Blood and Glitter’ - ‘two things that are very difficult to get out of carpet’ says Graham

Heavy metal strobe - more guitars but downbeat lyrics - impressive bodysuit the lead singer is wearing - Flash Gordon birdmen vibes . Definitely roused up the audience!

Lithuania returning singer - a sad ballad with Gospel backing singers - catchy refrain ‘It’s too loud’

Israel Unicorn strobes - singing in a box wearing a skimpy black jacket and baggy trousers - now impressive dancing group - second dance didn’t involve the trousers

Slovenia ‘Scooby Doo or Beatles-esque’ with pink trousers. More guitars and drums

Croatia another established band - impressive false moustaches and pink outfits - song about a tractor! Anti-war song ‘alligator psychopath’

United Kingdom - good to see the Mersey Ferry Dazzle ship in the ‘Postcard’

Power ballad - another impressive manicure. Dancing well integrated with the background visuals- good beat - positivity message - I’m impressed with that

Liverpool liked that

Great to see a wheelchair dancer in Sam Ryder’s performance - excellent power ballad with electric guitar and Roger Taylor on drums

Superb ‘Liverpool Songbook’ - brought a tear to my eyes as well as Graham’s

Interesting that Sweden won the Jury vote, but Finland won the public vote.

‘Liverpool, Ukraine, Europe, Australia’ and h2g2 - goodnight
