Día 273
Suzie - Today's the day!! A new Eurovision winner will be crowned!! Very exciting!! 😀😀😀😀
Without having breakfast, we travelled from Chester to Liverpool early to get to the M&S Arena for the inevitable line up for the floor area. We lined up just after 10am with hundreds of other Eurovision peeps, singing songs of our countries 💜💜💜 Doors opened at 11.30am and mad scramble for the prime position on the floor - the barrier!! Somehow Nik and I got separated, I got the barrier on the other side of the stage. I attempted to get her attention waving my Eurovision scarf and eventually did, using our scarves to communicate!!!
It was a great show with performances not only from everyone who made it into the grand final, but also of the 'Big 5' - United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy and Spain, plus the winner of last year, Ukraine. The interval show was absolutely magnificent. It had Sam Ryder (runner up from the United Kingdom last year) singing his new song 'Mountain') with rock royalty Roger Taylor from Queen on drums. 'The Liverpool Songbook' was on next and featured a beautiful medley of songs from people born in Liverpool and/or about Liverpool sung by past Eurovision performers - Mahmood from Italy sung 'Imagine' by John Lennon, Cornelia Jakobs from Sweden sung 'I Turn To You' by Melanie Chisholm, Dadi Freyr from Iceland sung Atomic Kitten's 'Whole Again', Sonia performed and relived her Eurovision glory when she represented the United Kingdom in 1993 with 'Better The Devil You Know', Netta from Israel sung Dead Or Alive's 'You Spin Me Round' and the absolute highlight for me was when Duncan Laurence who represented The Netherlands sung 'You'll Never Walk Alone' which as a Liverpool FC supporter and a visitor to Liverpool, I was standing there on the Eurovision floor, hand on heart, singing the absolute hell out of the song. It was so very special!! 💜💜💜💜💜
After I found Nik, it was off to the pub for a pint of lemonade - no cider please, it's too hot!!
Then off to the British Music Experience!!Leer más
