Eurovision Finals Basel 2025 - The Watch and Score thread.

This is the scoring thread for the event on Saturday, for General Eurovision Chat, use **THIS THREAD** and leave this one for the live event at 8pm please, even if you're thinking "it means nothing to me".

Eurovision 2025 is upon us and the Grand Final is this very weekend 17th May 2025 at 8pm on BBC One and BBC One HD. This year will Israel gets to walk away with nil-points (they didn't last time)? Has Ukraine run out of sympathy votes? Because Eurovision is political sometimes bombs don't mix with bongos.

That aside, as we do every year (see **here** for last year's thread, we will be scoring with an overall rating out of 10. Along with the rating comes an optional Comment and Norton rating. (Paste your own witty observation on the act in question and Norton's commentary ability).
