Austria's very own Princess Peach. Still remember when everyone lost their shit because the Austrian jury only had her 4th or something but the public thankfully saw her to Eurovision AND to the final. The bridge is amazing.

Yaaaaas Zoë. Eventually became my joint favourite of 2016 with Francesca. <3
Yes, but the Lion never appeared on stage....

Poor Greta. I think the problem was the whole thing looked way too dark, something which isn't helped by Songvakeppnin's crappy low budget staging. Imagine if they had a proper LED screen and everything this year.

The only thing I remember from Zoe's NF is 'cute but no chance of winning though' tbh.

OMG that was brutal, that poor girl (Lizzo? something like that).

I wish more NFs would read Twitter comments though

Wonder if Greta will be writing a song for Iceland's selection this year? I'm expecting them along with Norway and Denmark to come back strong after the failure of 2016.

Still not a mad fan of HTC. Passable for me.

I don't think it helped with Greta being in the wrong SF. Us, Ireland and Denmark would've thrown votes at Greta.

Is It True is one of the best all out ballads ever at Eurovision imo. Yohanna's vocals on the night were sublime too.

Iceland and Denmark especially, considering they've failed twice in a row (and Denmark would have made the final each time if they'd chosen their runners up instead).

Lizza was it? It was a nice song, I just sat there at the screen cackling that he dared read it out in front of her, awful, I couldn't find her on Twitter afterwards to say I liked her song and apologise.

My older brother's Year 6 class had to do this song in sign language in assembly in 97, and that's all I associate it with now

If there was any justice Flying The Flag would be our last victory, I don't care in the slightest for Love Shine A Light.

Quick question, does this actually end at midnight?

I have to be up at 5:45 for work in the morning so I'm not planning on staying up too late.
