BONKERS SEQUINS!

Voting for the Eurovision final is underway. My favourite songs are the following: Slovenia, Israel, Estonia, UK, Lithuania, Serbia, Norway, Sweden, Australia, Romania, Spain, Georgia and Italy. (I'm not allowed an opinion on the French song, on account of being French.)

Honourable mention to the Austrian flaming piano.

I have to admit I'd been tempted to make the Swedish song my favourite, but then I saw the Georgian entry again and yeah, Imma keep Georgia as my favourite. I love the Swedish song and think it will make a perfect song for an MCU vid, but the Georgian song and costuming speak to me.

I want Australia to win, though. Because it would be AMAZING.

The opening postcards thingy was awesome and I really appreciated the casual inclusion of two men kissing. There were two men kissing at another point and I loved how many rainbow flags were in the audience. (And it took them a while, but Stéphane Bern and Marianne James finally got their act together and referred to Conchita with female pronouns. You could have done better, France 2. France Ô, with Mareva Galanter and Jérémy Parayre, did.)

Countries who were noticeably absent: Ukraine, Andorra, Luxembourg, Monaco, Turkey, Vatican City, Latveria.

Edit: Russia better not win >:(

Edit 2: SWEDEN WON! And he's crying from joy. He sounds all choked up for his repeat performance, aw.

Also, the commentators are now suggesting giving Brittany, Corsica and the rest their independance so that we can start bloc voting too, lmao.

Also, I ahev to admit that the Ancient Eurovision prompt over at the commentfest is really tempting me, for some reason.
