UK has taken a lead in the odds for song to finish last. 9% swing. Sam Ryder, leave that country! You'll win with another flag next to your name. Kind regards, the EU.

I love Croatia as a country, always loved them in football cause of Perisic and Brozovic who played for my Inter. Oh, I love Modric as well.
Baby Lasagna get them a first win coz you deserve it!

 

[soulm8]

Croatia is the winner!

 

[GlamSIMorous]

wait a second. Am I stupid or can’t I even hear him? What was going on?

 

[musicfan]

Not sure about the crowd singing parts of songs.

 

[Etanna]

Croatia is so much fun! He improved so much! And the audience being into it makes it really powerful! I am hoping for a Croatian win! I'll probably go broke but it'll be worth it if Croatia wins

 

[jatojo]

The producers making the audience be heard during the chorus to improve the song?

 

[Citelis]

We have a winner!

 

[ag89]

See you all in Croatia

 

[hawadharma]

I was waiting for his little wink

 

[AliceEsc]

win please! Sooo good!

 

[ramiroqai]

Are you serious? This croatian Ganga Syle cat version is the favourite?

 

[hawadharma]

just voted 20 times on a particular song

 

[musicfan]

This is where we all remember how great Iru was last year with the great song Echo.

 

[NemesisNick]

Song 23: Croatia: The hot favourite to win tonight. I like the way they have the neon style images of farm animals on the background screen at times. There is plenty of use of smoke jets, and the flames near the end provide the climax to this. Altogether, a very lively, punchy song, which will not be everyone's taste in music, but it was performed well tonight, and it has the stage elements this style of song calls for.

I just feel came back to the final with the wrong acts. I like Dons and Nutsa but I wanted so hard Sudden Lights and Iru to make it

 

[Magimixer]

Yep, just spent all my voting money on Croatia

 

[jatojo]

Isaak's fire still burning so late in the show.
