Watched Eurovision with my mum tonight. This is the first year I strangely for some reason haven't been sharing the songs with her in advance. It was a fresh experience for her tonight.

Didn't like this at all. One of her least favourites of the night and was surprised when I told her it was actually my second favourite in the semi.

She wasn't in the room for this one.

Surprisingly she liked this one. Gave another assuring "I like this" during the recap.

My mother................. said she quite likes Hungary. Rest assured I had my special dagger eyes prepared.

She thought this was beautiful. Straight away was captured by it and loved the outfits.

One of her top favourites (unsurprisingly as my mother loves country music). She said it's a song you know how it's gonna go the first time you hear it and can easily sing along. Said it felt nicely familiar.

Was out of the room for this one but said it sounded good from the recap.

Another of my mums favourites. As soon as Serhat opened his mouth she let out a gasp. She thought he had an absolutely gorgeous voice and commented on his talk-singing style which she really liked. She said she'd love to hear what other songs he sings. Go my mum basically, championing the Godhat

She was wowed by the performance. Said she'd actually seen this on youtube. Not any comment really on the song itself besides that it's something that sounds very Eurovision.

Complimented the staging and said it was a very nice song, and that Gabriela has a powerful voice. I was kind of in a trance during the song and trying not to cry in front of my mum, so I wasn't picking up too well anything she was saying to me. It might have been one of her top favourites actually, I don't remember.

My mother and I joined forces to throw shade during this performance

Honest to god she started it. She said she thought the rock look was more a front. Said she could imagine the lead singer, and I quote
wearing tight white trousers and a pink top when off the stage. I mean what the actual heck, I couldn't stop laughing. I didn't expect my mother to share my quite unpopular opinions regarding this song and band. Said they weren't proper rockers.

Didn't say a word during this performance but said it was nice during the recap.

Said she enjoyed this during the performance, commenting on his nice deep voice and then did a hot iconic u-turn during the recap stating she didn't like this one.

Weirdly enough she enjoyed this one. Said it was really catchy.

Didn't like this one at all. I think she thought it was the worst one of the night along with Finland.

Actually can't remember what she thought of Iceland. I remember her commenting on the visual side, saying it was clever.

She really liked this one. Couldn't stop commenting on their outfits, saying she loved what Dalal was wearing and would wear something similar herself

Also thought the cello player was beautiful and very seductive. The rap part threw her off though but I think overall she still enjoyed the song.

Another one she surprisingly really enjoyed. We both burst out into laughter as the dancer started twirling on his knees

She spotted that Ira was pregnant before our commentator Mel revealed after the performance the news.
I think overall her favourites were probably The Netherlands and Croatia. She said it was a very good bunch of songs with only a small few (obviously Finland, Montenegro and Cyprus) that she thought weren't good. Loved the stage and constantly kept making comments on how impressive it was. Also loved Petra and Lynda Wooddruff. We enjoyed the "boys and girl" joke
