Cringe ABBA interval

 

[AliceEsc]

Oh my mum just texted me. She just voted for the first time in her life 3x and 1x

 

[Smudy]

Croatia on 52 percent now.

 

[Gwendal]

Props to SVT the Abba fake out for Alcazar really made me laugh

The last shade to Arvingarna (that I've always hated) was even funnier

 

[GlamSIMorous]

Guys, I don’t think we can stop Israel from winning tbh. There is no chance. Aren’t the Televoting points all summed up and then being given by the percentage? Or is it 12 points max for each country? I don’t remember.

 

[Etanna]

final performance was banned from YouTube because of her nails. What a shitshow this has become.

they should just ignore these small things, they only bring more attention to it and honestly it's not even a crazily big gesture

 

[Gordon_Shumway]

If I had to pick only one country to vote for tonight, it would be Ukraine.
Other songs that I liked a lot came from Luxembourg, France, Norway.
On the other hand I will never be able to understand how someone can like that entry from Ireland. So much screaming, I just don''t get it.
I think Croatia will win.

[jatojo]

What color does Charlotte Perrelli's eyes have? Not possible to see.

12 Max so there is a chance, Juries will kill them.

I think will flop but let’s wait and see

 

[Etanna]

Wut? What happened?

somebody said that the Portuguese performance isn't uploaded to YouTube because Iolanda wore Palestinian colours on her nails

why did Greece choose to have the recap moment where she practically isn't singing at all?

 

[lacrymea]

Wut? What happened?

The esc channel banned Portugal's performance.
