"Estland" is trending here.

 

[Citelis]

Jury friendly enough.

 

[Etanna]

Olly did sooo much better than in the semis!

 

[ramiroqai]

90% of the audience being gay is a good point to this kind of performance to the crowd to love

 

[Gwendal]

Olly Alexander's staging makes me wonder about something I never thought I would:
Can something be TOO gay even for me?

 

[Chrisiam]

He didn't sound as out of breath until the bit with the funny-looking floor. Even if he sounded a tad soft in the vocals.

 

[ollibox]

UK staging???? Like WTF??? Keen to see the after-story how they made it!

 

[Iker]

was very gay. I mean it as a compliment.

 

[AlekS]

The UK - More softcore p*rn for Eurovision. I'm serious (it wasn't p*rny enough for me, actually )
I like everything except his vocals and dirty bathroom.

 

[Jay25]

This commercial break did not age well..

 

[Kev4000]

Cringe.

 

[gigi_copp3]

Love Swedish's sense of humour

That is the risk that too gymnastic performances have: controlling the voice while jumping is a big challenge

 

[southernstars]

I like Olly but that song doesn't do him justice at all.

Loved Latvia, he's brilliant. Stood out.

Greece sang a lot better, but I heard she was ill during the semi so that would explain it.

 

[NeoTen]

Well. at least he doesn't go off-key anymore. You guys know Amsterdam has banned more and more gay saunas and gay people going into Saunas this year? I get it now.

 

[ollibox]

Ok, a small stocks boost for Mr. Österdahl

It let San Marino down but they also had technical difficulties

 

[Etanna]

Good thing that this song is pre-recorded lol it probably wouldn't go down very well in the arena

 

[Iker]

The vulgar visuals of the UK act will surely not be everyone's taste.

This gave me life OTOH.

 

[Gwendal]

The most tragic thing in this overall mess is that Woodruff stuff about Martin Estrogen is damn good
