Music Eurovision 2025

Tuesdays results…. And the acts that were eliminated last night

Slovenia
Belgium
Azerbaijan
Croatia
Cyprus

So we predicted 9/10 correct… really thought Belgium would do it over Portugal.


There was a stage invasion during Estonia’s performance…. But it was a fake.
Girl jumps up and gets blocked by Tommy Cash’s security guard dancers…. Runs over to him during an instrumental break… gives him a hug, and starts jelly leg dancing next to him.

Quite funny


Some of the presenters material was pretty dire… Just a badly written filler where other countries could show a commercial break… don’t get that with the BBC.


Recent news reports could hamper Israel’s performance on Thursday, and wouldn’t be surprised if they pull out at the last minute.

Close again.

We predicted 8/10 of the qualified acts…. But unfortunately those 2 we got wrong was Australia and Ireland…. Two of our faves.


Panic set in last night as our sky Q box took a funny turn, and we missed the last two songs, and a chunk of the results
Spent tonight setting up iPlayer on the telly to serve as a backup. Just in case.

Remember Monday - Forgotten by tuesday..... Sounds about right.

UK came 19th place.... which is 19/26 in the final... but taking the 13 that had already been put out in the semis.... its about half way. Taking absolutely zero from the other countries televoting.... Seems to happen every year.

None of the "bookies favourites" came close. None of the catchy up-tempo songs.... and Austrias winner sounded too much like last years winner from Nemo's pop/opera sound.

Israel was in top spot for a while, losing out to Austria at the last moment..... Was this a political decision... voting rigged to "prove" Israel has a place at Eurovision... or was it indeed the second best song there.... (no... no it wasnt)


There's always next year, UK..... Can we get Kylie to do it next time round?


Highlight of the night was past contestants Kaarija and Baby Lasagna performing a mashup of their respective songs from '23 and '24 and their new collaboration

Still got Eurovision fever, we watched the Fire Saga film again on Netflix at the weekend.
Now 5 years old…. It came out the year the actual contest was cancelled because of Covid.

The jokes still stand well, and the songs in it are as Eurovision as you can get.


We did notice that the Maltese entry this year has very similar visuals to the fictional Greece entry on the film.

Apologies, I had to photograph the screen with my phone. Couldn’t screen grab directly.
