... I don't think Israel will do well given current political climate and world affairs  

I'd have said the same, but they got through the semi-final on public votes.  So who knows.

Ireland awesome Uk embarrassing had to turn it off

I think the country panel votes will have political sensitivity inbuilt ... like voting for neighbours etc. but this year Israel is scabby queen!

It’s not really a song contest is it?

England seemed to lead the way on that. 

I think Israel has been the best so far, followed by Ukraine, but Ukraine's was ruined by rap.

Not now no. Seems all the effort goes into the choreography and ensemble dance troupe stuff.

Estonia's effort had a good beat I suppose.

Norway kicked arse, favourite so far

Nice to see Rob Chapman representing Estonia.

Have a feeling the Swiss guy on the microwave turntable will take it.

That Croatia song is very catchy.  Which Olly Alexander's isn't.

I used to watch Eurovision and hate half the songs, but honestly I'm finding all of these pretty... tolerable.

Sporky

Croatia did at least have some tune.

I liked Norway’s best.
Ireland’s staging was good. 

Swiss bloke on a pedestal most likely to win. 

The Austrian one could work outside the contest. 

The stage & lighting is marvellous. 

One presenter is great and the other forgot to bring her personality.
