I quite enjoy the ridiculous spectacle.

Listened to snippet of the candidates. Nothing stands out.

As usual, UK puts forward totally fine but utterly bland song.

I'm boycotting it, as they're allowing Israel to be in the competition (whose act has backed the genocidal actions of the IDF).

My daughters are doing the same even though they normally love it, and adore Olly Alexander, too. Personally I've been boycotting it for about 30 years.

Accidentally saw some of tonight's semi finals.
Stayed watching for a few acts.
At some point in the future we will ask, why did female singers feel that they had to dress like that?
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

Also, it's shit.  Although we accidentally watched the Conchita Wurst one in 2014 and were glad we did.
