I'm obsessed with you bringing that little board while leaving a huge one at home. You're really dedicated aren't you Tom 😭

[@ESCTom]

i tried to put the big one in my bag and it didnt fit 😭

[@Tollkirschenkind]

The first seconds made me so happy! I'm way too invested in Tom's boards I think 😅

[@Werderina]

Tom + little board = 💗

[@suerichardson4381]

Who would have thought a few years back we would be praising the UK and Irish staging

[@colettemarchington8724]

Tom, I said this last year! RTE need to employ you as their top expert/commentator like the BBC use various famous fans throughout the Eurovision season. You’re a natural.

[@a.m.rifkia.3rd493]

as usual, one of the best Eurovision analysts out there. hopefully BBC or RTE will hire you as an analyst/colour commentator alongside Graham Norton/Scott/Rylan (BBC) or Marty Whelan (RTE). it's time for Eurovision commentaries to be more similar to football/soccer commentaries; even though some countries/broadcasters already do that (notably Sweden's SVT with Edward and Mans), there is almost no clear distinction, which one was the play-by-play and which one was the analyst/pundit.

[@PastaSauce.]

Graham and Rylan are great for the lighted hearted commentaries but a second option if people want a bit more depth would be a great addition.

[@LG-ht1zo]

He is! I’m always so happy when Tom posts a video - love him ❤

[@LG-ht1zo]

Also needs to take the whiteboard wherever he goes 😂

[@ESCTom]

"it's time for Eurovision commentaries to be more similar to football/soccer commentaries; even though some countries/broadcasters already do that" - Finland, too. Actually I think most countries. Though I usually ignore commentaries myself, entirely unnecessary IMO 😅 (I usually know more about the entries than the commentators anyway...)

[@Wamubodo]

There is so much love for Bambie. It's amazing. I think you don't have to worry.

[@AmaanStorm]

That little board is having a better life than me 😂😂😂 Youre such a love for working so hard for us all and living your best life whilst doing it! Although ive neen trying so hard to avoid any big spoilers for Eurovision performances, ive seen a few of the performance clips and i have to admit, i agree with your commentary. Particularly Australia, Iceland & Finland. Keep up the good work but make sure you rest up well too Tom! Looking forward to your reactions on the qualifiers. I'll be getting home at 9.30pm tonight (UK time) so will hold on to see the results instead of watching the entire show.

[@haydenacott7962]

Bambie Thug was superb, but the unexpected 'malfunctioning' of the candle circle during the jury show was HIGHLY, HIGHLY suspicious. I hope there are some very serious questions being asked tonight behind the scenes in Malmö.

[@KevinWWSP]

I appreciate your perspective on Finland 🇫🇮 and Windows 95 Man. Given the abundance of talented artists in this Eurovision edition, I am not sure if it will emerge in the top 15. Still, I find watching Windows 95 Man enjoyable, even though the revealing outfits might be a bit much.😊 It’s fascinating how Eurovision brings together diverse music styles, languages, and cultures, isn’t it? 🎶🌍

[@tanjanikola9489]

I think it is also interesting how W95M challenges our perceptions of what is OK with revealing outfits. There are very few comments about the Spanish male dancers with their bare butt cheeks, or other artists with suggested nudity, or indeed women's skimpy clothing. No rules really breaks the rule that you need to be a female or a male with a six-pack wearing underpants. A middle-aged dad can also do it and it starts a conversation about what is and is not acceptable. I guess Let3 showed the way last year. It will be a fun show regardless! Can't wait...

[@florenna]

Yeah, people are so biased - the entry actually has much less "revealing outfits" than most female singers *every year,* and yet that's what many choose to focus on... 🙄 Oh well, hope they'll show to all the haters out there!!!

[@KevinWWSP]

@@tanjanikola9489 Absolutely! I hadn’t considered that. Let Windows 95 Man revel in his confidence. The duo presents a fascinating juxtaposition-one adorned in denim almost from head to toe, while the other opts for minimalism.

[@KevinWWSP]

@@florenna That’s very true.

[@tanjanikola9489]

He has worked on a lot of films, including dubbing animation films in Finnish (such as Paw Patrol). He started working as a voice artist at the age of 4! They will bring a lot of laughter and winning here is not the aim of the game - just lighthearted fun with a message about body positivity. 😁

[@home8630]

You can call it Yidaki Digeridoo, Joining the two languages and people together, that way people know and understand what you are talking about. We will have a play around wit that. Yidaki, Didgeridoo, Yidaki Digeridoo, Didgeridoo, Yidaki. Its very rythmic and goes together. Australia and Australians are accepting, we are still happy with them and Celebrating One life. Still wait and see for the peformance. Thankyou for calling it Yidaki. Different people have changed their minds and say its qualifying.

[@ThaGamingMisfit]

Wished they brought a better song to show this off, to me this is the most generic blandest song of all 37 :(

[@cashonly8385]

Was at the Jury show last night, can confirm Bami KILLED that stage. Here’s the T - I didn’t like Doomsday Blue, I was totally converted by the end of their performance! Baby Lasagna was on point! Was worth the entire trip for me. Isaak really surprised me with his performance. The staging was great and the power he gave was spectacular!

[@KylieWilson]

I watched it in full and I agree with you for the most part. For me I struggled to understand what the theme and narrative for Ukraine’s staging was, it felt to me that they brainstormed a lot of very nice visuals and cobbled them together with no connecting thread. And I wasn’t that hot on Germany, a bunch of fiery walls doesn’t make an otherwise bland performance interesting.

[@ZakhadWOW]

its beautiful ( except the rap) and it's apparently another reference to the war, with it being an appeal to Holy Mary and Saint Mother Teresa for aid..

[@florenna]

Interesting review! I hope & also fully believe Finland will slay & blow everyone's minds tonight!! 🥳 We really need to show it to all the haters!! It's been so sad how much hate (from fan bubble) the entry has got 😔 You mentioned a big drop of energy on the 2nd half, but there *is* Finland, who kind of carries the whole 2nd half on its shoulders 😅 (Apart from AQ Sweden.) Anyway, love how you said Finland's show "looks expensive", that's really promising! :)

[@ESCTom]

even with sweden and finland, the 2nd half still feels very flat

[@florenna]

@@ESCTom Sorry to hear that, I'll see how I feel about that during the live show tonight! 😅

[@florenna]

@@ESCTom Back here to say that no, I didn't feel much loss of energy on the 2nd half of the show, it didn't feel flat to me, but then admittedly the part where my country's performing always has my heartrate up to about 200, so there is that 😉

[@escheb8107]

And you just know Bambie had this vision right from the start . Their artistry and vision is 💯.

[@johnny11415]

It will be an interesting show. For sure the 'borderline' songs have to perform to perfection in order to get to the final.

[@Drag_on_king]

I agree with you. I did see the dress rehearsal and I think the first half is definitely stronger. I'd say Serbia and Cyprus are the most in danger still. In the second half it is Finland, Portugal and Luxemburg going through I think. And I'd like to for Slovenia and Australia to grab a spot from the first half. I still think they have weaker staging, but I like the songs more than Serbia and Cyprus and I think if someone is gonna grab the spots it's likely those two.

[@LG-ht1zo]

Love the harsh lighting in the UK performance - love that UK and Ireland are nailing it ❤❤❤

[@TomCatwhick.]

I already voted as part of the Rest Of the World vote. I voted for Ireland 6 times, Ukraine and Slovenia 5 times, Azerbaijian 4 times, and Lithuania 1 time. If you vote on the website you get a message from your most voted artist.

[@ZakhadWOW]

I wont address individual tastes in music, but you really should educate yourself in some depth about the atrocities Azerbaijan has been committing in starving out and then ethnically cleansing Artsakh (aka Nagorno Karabakh), including the wholesale destruciton of sites that have been Armenian in culture/settling for centuries, if not a millenium. ANcient churches being obliterated.. that sort of thing. It would have been more major international news except everyone is glued to Gaza and Ukraine.

[@johndoe-yw7eb]

@@ESCTom Understood. I'm talking about when you said they "seemed lost" in the transition out of the rap. When the rap ended, a video played on the rear screen. Then the stage lit back up and the video transitioned to Jerry walking towards Alyona. I expect it will look amazing on TV, but in the arena, it's extremely angle-specific.

[@akotra11]

Thank you for Lithuania 🇱🇹 review!! 😍😍😍

[@jonnarka]

I think Slovenia is going to have super hard time as it is compared to Bambie Thug performance just couple of songs before it. Bambie Thug shows how you should do the whole witchy vibes and Slovenia seems quite boring after that. I probably vote for Bambie because of the show (it's pure art!) even though I hate the song 😂

[@elvinam888]

Ok, that's decided me then, I will probably vote for Slovenia tonite, I far prefer it of those two, at least she has a song, unlike Bambie Thug 😅

[@florenna]

@@elvinam888 I'm still undecided, but I might do the same... Since I'd rather have Slovenia in the final than some of the other, more praised songs here...

[@xxigeorge]

I really really really don't understand people sleeping on Raiven like I really don't... I'm very disappointed. The fact that Finland and Luxembourg are probably getting through over Serbia and Slovenia is insult to injury, honestly

[@MHMK-ui5tm]

What is honestly insult to injury is stupid comments like yours, slating Finland for no reason!!

[@florenna]

Yeah, Finland is said by another commenter here to have possibly the best staging of the year, plus it's a great uplifting song, so no wonder it's predicted to go through, no need to insult it like that! I like Slovenia too (might even vote for it), but as Tom says, most people don't get it. Serbia is just plain boring. Don't know about Luxembourg

[@xxigeorge]

@@MHMK-ui5tm bruh, you've seen the performance, right...? Like, no offense to them, they seem like really nice people, but in a COMPETITION with limited spots for the final, an entry like No Rules! is just taking up space, I'm sorry.

[@MHMK-ui5tm]

@@xxigeorge Yes, I have, and love it! Well, that's entirely your opinion - in my opinion, sleeping pills like Serbia, Portugal or Australia are just taking up space, sorry! OTOH, fun & joyful songs like Finland are exactly what we need in the Final! You can well support the songs you like, that's 100% fine, but no need to slate others at the same time!! Like the other commenter above says too.

Not me thinking the backdrop is a green screen 😭 it isnt right? I feel kind of the opposite about 🇨🇾 already wasnt crazy about the song. The color palette is pretty. I always root for the teens but I dont understand what they did to the dance break, it looks so goofy to me. I think the choreo from the pre parties was better even😭. I predict 🇨🇾 to NQ cuz that 1st half is just too damn strong

[@zuchenfuffer5242]

10 seconds ago damn

[@MacgiollaIG]

Please don’t parrot this nonsense line that because the bookies are based in Ireland and UK that’s the reason they are so high up. 1. It devalues the artist and their talents. 2. Bookies is a profit making business not a support your own country system. In the World Cup Ireland is not higher placed because the bookies are based there - it’s done on talent of the team ( or less talent on this case). This is a BS argument about bookies only supporting places they live. Bambi is up there because Bambi is excellent. Period

[@ESCTom]

Calm down, it’s not that serious. In 2018, we were 3rd in odds and came 16th without any 12 points. In 2011 we were also higher in odds than our ranking. So it’s not like I’m saying this without any precedence

[@thecrazytrainspotter]

We will be definitely hearing the hosts saying Ireland has qualified for the grand final tonight

[@egyptianhibiscus9203]

Right, releasing Zombie just yesterday might be helpful. But not fair 🙄

[@danimalplanet18]

Judged on preference, order, rehearsals, I expect: Lithuania, Ireland, Ukraine, Poland, Croatia, then Slovenia, Finland, Australia, Portugal and Luxembourg to Q. I personally like Moldova a lot, very good vocals, but I don't think it will do much because of the 'dull' performance

[@Zycerone]

Be ready for the victory of your own country. Ireland will win the televote (and probably the jury vote as well) by a landslide. Mark my words!
