Live Final@The British Music Experience

Nik - Not being unable to secure tickets to the live show, nor the Village stream, going to the British Music Experience showing (which was right next door to the village seemed like a good alternative. For starters ..we had seats...but also...we'd be surrounded by mucic memorabilia.

The music experience venue wasn't as big as I thought but it was still an awesome viewing and we had a great night.

As for the results....bit disappointed and in some cases puzzled. Austria's song, Who The Hell Is Edgar was absolutely rocking in the arena. Every time the crowd went off dancing and singing. But they didn't do too well in the scoring. Germany's song, Blood and Glitter should have done better too, though I agree the staging could have been better. (It needed dragons.)

And as for Tattoo (by Loreen) winning for Sweden...I think it might have been rigged that way so that the contest goes to Sweden for the 50th anniversary of ABBA winning Eurovision back in 1974. I really think the results were stacked.

If the responses from the audience were anything to go by...Käärija (from Finland) should have been our winner. He is my winner anyway.

And well done to Australia's Voyager coming in 9th. We actually were the outright winners of Semi 2....however I should also note for historical accuracy that the second semi was by far the weaker of the two. (But hey, a win in a win. 🤷)

And now the Eurovision part of our trip is officially over.

Please send hugs because the PED (Post Eurovision Depression) has already kicked in. 😭🇬🇧🇺🇦もっと詳しく
