8/10
The usual bonkers mix.
13 May 2023
Liverpool did The Ukraine proud, hosting the war torn country's 2022 win in style.

Exactly as you'd expect, camp, loud, flashing lights, some dismal music, some good music, some very good music, and Croatia. There are no words for Croatia's entry, at least it wasn't dull and out of tune, like one...... but we won't go there.

How utterly wonderful was Hannah Waddingham, not generally known as a presenter, an actress and talented singer, and for me she me came across as wonderfully sincere, the standout, eloquent, educated, a bit of a national treasure.

Graham, I hope you had a few drinks, it sounded like he had.

Personally I voted for Sweden, I thought it was the most polished song, but it's Finland I'll remember.

As always with Eurovision, you never quite know what you're going to get, and some of it was bizarre.

What did we learn....... The Czech Republic is now Czechia, Sonia doesn't age, Mel proved women can do dad jokes just as well, block voting is alive and well, and the next stop is Sweden, again.

Kitsch, camp, but fun, 8/10.
