Serbia’s singer looks like someone in a costume drama - swashbuckling. Very flat song, though…. Nihilistic zombies (persons of nonliving status)

France’s stage has ‘Who Wants to Live Forever’ vibes. Impressive manicure! The platform gives everyone a good view of the singer when it went up and then back down!

Toast to Sir Terry Wogan smiley - cider for Song 9

A returning winning performer for Sweden - a power ballad with dancing inside a cube - the song is not particularly to my taste, but it is the favourite

Another impressive manicure!

Estonia has a self-playing piano. I like the singer’s purple power suit. Need to watch out she doesn’t trip on the dangly bits, though smiley - laugh A lovely matching manicure, not claw-like like the others. A jaunty ballad smiley - ok

Finland Cha Cha Cha - starting in a farmyard pen with strobe lights - heavy metal style rather than a Latin dance smiley - laugh. Fascinating costume of green PVC muscles on a skimpy jacket. Interesting counterpoint to the fluorescent pink costumes of the dancers. Fascinating indeed - quite like it - much more upbeat smiley - ok

Australia established band have impressive hair smiley - ok Electropop- fascinating singing in a car on stage. Now a bit of rock - good to see electric guitars, wind machine and head banging to show off their long locks. I think that’s my favourite - mix of Pet Shop Boys and Queen style is just to my taste smiley - ok
