I love that when the swedish comenators were presenting austrias song they said something along the lines of "This is actually not the first time Edgar Allen Poe has been mentioned in eurovision, he was actually mentioned in a song in the 90s, and if you knew that youre probably not entirely heterosexual"

[miidnxghts]

La Zarra’s performance was more French than France itself

[finian]

Every time I watch these it's always the British presenters that can bring out the sass without being awkward or offensive, and I love it.

[jamiedodger]

3:44 Loreen should be careful, the guy who runs the Hydraulic Press Channel is Finnish

[elenatraforetti]

why does it look like this year all the artists agreed on making eurovision an iconic meme compilation to laugh at💀

[CaratsRitzy]

4:23 "If you are going to have a nightmare tonight of being attacked by a brussel sprout, it would be this man's fault."
Graham seriously had to CHA CHA Charcoal roast out of here. 😂

[michiyaslana]

Hatari’s vote delivery is everything, and so is Dadi FINALLY GETTING TO PERFORM.

[francescogulisano]

"Europe, you wanna see me dance?"
"Not really, but that's not going to stop you, is it?"

[roseghould]

10:10 HOW HOW HOW did this not win, I was genuinely moved when the entire crowd was chanting in unison

[manosk.]

Imagine Finland won and then Kaarjia played again the song. The end would be the greatest finale of all songs 4:43

[punaviinihaarukka]

At least we (Finland) gave Germany 5p and Australia 8p :(( I voted them! Glad that Finland likes rock haha

[MerryMoss]

4:23 _"If you have a nightmare tonight that you're being attacked by a dancing brussels sprout, it'll be this man's fault."_ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 's gotta be my favourite line.. I love Käärijä 💚
5:53 *ok queen has arrived* ~hahah, yes she friggin' has ✨
6:02 _"The song is called Blood & Glitter, there's two things that are VERY hard to get out of carpet."_ This man is a legend xD

[samb.]

i have never regretted living in germany more than when i couldn't vote for lord of the lost. they were so good it was a CRIME that they scored so low (of course it was also criminal that kaarija lost to loreen, but y'know)

[imagine_sofia]

finally someone agrees with me about those unnecessary dance breaks! Of course they're all good dancers, but I don't need a dance performance at a song contest! If you can't give a good show without a dance break then it just seems like they knew the singing wouldn't be enough for people to vote (except for Brunette, she has a great voice!)

[Stray_bangtan_]

What I love about Eurovision is that there are so many different styles of music. And you get to discover to many new favourites.

[rainbowdinosaurrrrrr]

as an Aussie I can confirm that we always hop around like kangaroos

[phoenixfeathers]

I think Germany was def underrated this year, their song slapped

[luminafrost]

I‘m so glad you noticed similarities between unicorn and blackpink songs, one part especially sounded like straight out of a blackpink song and I thought I was the only one noticing this because I haven’t heard anyone talking about it yet xD

[tobywoby]

The difference between ✨️🥰host graham🥰✨️ and 🙄💅commentator graham💅🙄 is everything

[sonerkamer]

Of course Graham had to give us such great commentary again like any other year. Now that he can FINALLY host, we saw his full glory!
