From one pleasant gradient to another - it's voter 11 time with
One more 12 for Brittany - it seems they noted the sudden slipback into righthandside and took care to fix it, despite not knowing the voting order. Maybe they were able to sense it, anyways.
(forgot to shout Central Canada out as a pleasant gradient too)
That's third pleasant gradient in a row (FOR ME) with votes incoming!
And just like that, we have a 4th new leader - it's Canada!
Other things worth of note: after a marvelous start Australia were in bottom 6 until they ended up with their second 12 and now they're back at the left-hand-side. Meanwhile, Denmark doubled their points, making it difficult for the hosts to be able to get out of last place, should they get any points by tonight.
Another Nordic voter in a row from the famous Nordic grand final running order run - !
And just like that, Canada returned to leadership (for now).
And it took 15 voters for the hosts to get something in points form - so thanks a lot Denmark! Now everyone has something to leave home tonight with!
And the leader changed again, but this time it's the 6th new leader! Israel.
Meanwhile, Türkiye goes in and out of doing well, with the 10 points bringing them back up on the left hand side.
Speak of the devil (figurative) - were so happy to lead that they immediately decided to vote next (maybe they somehow sensed it, idk). Let's talk TO Amir!
The cost of voting as the current leader comes with accidentally voting for the songs close to you up top, to the point of Egypt claiming the leadership back.
Meanwhile, The Netherlands leave bottom 3 and Türkiye get two 10s in a row - will they match the French 10 point streak of three with the next voter?
If Amir voted later, we would've had not three, but FOUR Nordic countries all voting in a row - up next:
Early on, Svealand had just one point for quite a few scoreboards - now they crack the top 5 with the help of their lovely neighbours. Meanwhile, WE GET POINTS! WE GET POINTS! Thanks so much for that 2
We're not going to listen to the lyrics of your entry , as we can't go without you - we need your votes too!
Where's your girl, England? There she is.
Meanwhile: There's a tie at the leaderdom????
(I handmake these scoreboards in Photoshop and sort the ties as clearly as possible, so if the voting ended right here and now... both leading countries would be disqualified for not voting and Canada would win. But aside that, Egypt would have ended up winning nonetheless.)
