Eurovision Finals Malmo 2024 - The Watch and Score thread

[MartyG]

Let's have an espresso with

15. Italy

Angelina Mango - La Noia
Score 6 / 10

Disappointed, it turned out it was nothing to do with mobile phones.

[MartyG]

How about giving this one a chance. It's ...

16. Serbia

TEYA DORA - RAMONDA
Score 6 / 10

I saw you reaching for the Prozac.

[MartyG]

What for it, it's

17. Finland

Windows95man - No Rules!
Score 8 / 10

That happens every time I boot my retro PC.

[MartyG]

I'm sure there will be more sense in

18 Portugal

iolanda - Grito
Score 5 / 10

When you get confused between socks and balaclavas

[MartyG]

Let's get our brass on with

19. Armenia

LADANIVA - Jako
Score 7 / 10

Definitely consuming too many extra sugar sports drinks back stage.

[MartyG]

We are into the twenties with

20. Cyprus

Silia Kapsis - Liar
Score 6 / 10

So, you go to the gym you say?

[MartyG]

Time for chocolate and folding knives with

21. Switzerland

Nemo - The Code
Score 6 / 10

That's Rod Hull and Emu on the phone, he says he wants his feathers back. Also, something about an aerial that needs fixing.

[MartyG]

Next up

22. Slovenia

Raiven - Veronika
Score 8 / 10

Where did I put that cling film?

[MartyG]

It's getting nearer to the end with song number ...

23. Croatia

Baby Lasagna - Rim Tim Tagi Dim
Score 9 / 10

There's absolutely no need to miss the days of the 80s with Eurovision.

[MartyG]

We've reached song

24. Georgia

Nutsa Buzaladze - Firefighter
Score 7 / 10

There must be something about the stages of Eurovision that makes them worth dry humping.

[MartyG]

It's the penultimate song and over to ...

25. France

Slimane - Mon Amour
Score 5 / 10

I'm not sure what Slimane was singing about, but I think it was about his crooked tailor who promised him a real shirt.

[MartyG]

We've made it to the final song. We close the first half of the show with ...

26. Austria

Kaleen - We Will Rave
Score 6 / 10

If you ever wondered what happens to the kitchen foil you recycle, well now you have your answer.

[MartyG]

Hmm, too many of the songs sounding the same this year, but I think my vote is going to ....

Croatia and Baby Lasagna with his Rim Tim Tagi Dim.

So, with the songs done, that's just another two hours to go to the results.

[MartyG]

And Switzerland wins it. No one got nil points this year.

The UK public vote gave Israel 12 points :/

[Neon Ignition]

Did the new-usual and quick flipped through tracks on iPlayer then caught the late scoring stage. At first, though not a high score, being on the left hand side for the UK looked reasonable but normality set right back in when the international public stepped in and utterly **** slapped the UK with zero points slamming us back in our place. We really are a properly disliked nation
