Ok, so, I adore Loreen. Definitely a worthy winner. But if only Finland could have won too! Both absolutely cracking songs 💕

CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA CHA CHAAAAAA 🐛💃🤘🏻

This is my sister and I posing with Käärija's portable sauna. Dude knows how to travel in style!

Hope you all enjoyed the show too 😊

zezeki Yes, I agree, Loreen is a worthy winner, but Finland was my favourite, and I was a little heartbroken when they didn't win, especially since he won the public vote. 😅🙈 2y

LeeRHarry Enjoyed the show- still #TeamBelgium 🇧🇪😊 2y

RaeLovesToRead @zezeki Finland had everything! Memorable style, signature dance moves, catchy tune, Rammstein-inspired metal elements, rap, tempo change, a dance caterpillar, techno beats... 💚💚💚💕 2y

RaeLovesToRead @LeeRHarry I loved Belgium too! It was my fave of the acts I saw at the 2nd semi 😊😇 2y

yourfavouritemixtape Loreen is a worthy winner.. but a bit a boring one :) I was rooting for Estonia. But I think I was the only one 😄 2y

RaeLovesToRead @yourfavouritemixtape Estonia - good voice, but I don't remember the song very well! 🤔 I keep getting random Eurovision songs in my head. It was Croatia today. 2y

So. Many. Sequins!!! 😍🥰😍🥰😍

zezeki How exciting, glad to see another Litten fan of Eurovision! 2y

LeeRHarry That‘s really exciting! Will be up at 5am Sunday morning here to watch it 😊 2y

RaeLovesToRead @zezeki @LeeRHarry Eurovision is great! Do you guys have any faves this year? Or are you waiting til the final to check out the songs? 💕 2y

LeeRHarry @RaeLovesToRead I watched the first semi final and didn‘t really have a fave which is a bit sad. Not super excited about the Australian entry if I‘m honest 😏 2y

zezeki I love so many songs this year, especially from the 1st semifinal! Portugal, Finland, Czechia, Switzerland, and I was also hoping Latvia would qualify. And for tonight, I'm cheering for Armenia, Slovenia and Lithuania. 2y

RaeLovesToRead @LeeRHarry Australia were very glittery! The song was OK. Didn't blow me away, but not bad! 😊 The first semi was bonkers 😅 2y

RaeLovesToRead @zezeki Yes! Finland are amazing. A Rammstein-style cha cha cha?! Seriously, who knew we needed that?! 😄 Also liked Czechia, Lithuania, Cyprus, Austria (poe poe poe poe poe poe poe) and Belgium. Also the UK song is stuck in my head! I've probably missed some off there... Croatia were.... interesting! 2y

RaeLovesToRead @zezeki Slovenia got a HUGE reaction in the arena... I was wondering if they were famous or had been in it before? Oh and I loved Denmark too. Remind me which country you are from?? (Sorry for forgetting) 2y

zezeki I'm from Croatia. ☺️ I'm so happy to hear that for Slovenia, I don't know if they're famous in their country, I haven't heard of them before. I'm not much of a fan of my country this year, but I appreciate the song's message, and I'm glad that we didn't send some bland pop ballad that we usually do. 😅 And the song is just stuck in my head, wether I like it or not. 😅 2y

RaeLovesToRead @zezeki I was told the message of the song was anti-war, but obviously didn't understand the words! It's the sort of weird song that British people will probably give 12 points to 😅 2y

yourfavouritemixtape Omg, I‘m going there tonight!! 2y

yourfavouritemixtape @zezeki @RaeLovesToRead this is like two of my favourite worlds colliding! :) Yay Litsy Eurovision fans! 🙂 2y

RaeLovesToRead @yourfavouritemixtape Have a great time!!! 😁💕 I'll be watching along at home. It's a great show! 2y

zezeki @yourfavouritemixtape Yay, have fun!! 💃🏻💃🏻 2y

BarbaraBB My country (NL) was sh*t and didn‘t make the finals but it is a big happening where I live too. Will be watching the finals & probably rooting for Sweden or Finland or is that too lazy?! 2y

Branwen Looks like a lot of fun! 💕 2y

RaeLovesToRead @BarbaraBB Netherlands? Yeah, the song wasn't great this year. The UK song sounded much better in person than on the screen! I love Loreen. She easily has the best voice in the competition, and as for the Finnish Rammstein-style Cha Cha Cha.... mind blown!!! 😅😅 2y

RaeLovesToRead @Branwen Eurovision is amazing!!!! 🥰🥰🥰😇 2y

BarbaraBB So who‘s your favorite? 2y

RaeLovesToRead @BarbaraBB Sweden, Finland, Cyprus, Lithuania, Czechia, Austria and Belgium!!!! 😁💕 2y

LeeRHarry Belgium for the win! 🥇🤞 2y

ferskner @zezeki @BarbaraBB I don't listen to the songs beforehand (other than Denmark and Sweden because I follow those national finals) so I'm not qualified to say, but I adored Ukraine and Moldova last night! 3y

BarbaraBB Exciting! 3y

Gissy Nice!🤗❤️❤️❤️ 3y

This Is Sweden Calling | Des Mangan

Been in Sweden three hours and found a beautiful little science fiction and fantasy bookshop a couple streets from my hotel in Gamla Stan! It was super busy when I went in. They had a lot of books in English, I want to go back when it‘s less busy and speak to someone about any English translations of Swedish authors they‘d recommend. I‘d love to pick up some cool things that I couldn‘t have got as easily in London

Bookwomble Looks beautiful! Is that Darth Vader on the mezzanine? 6y

Emilymdxn @bookwomble I think it‘s Edward scissor hands and predator but I had to zoom a lot to tell! 6y

Bookwomble Ooh, I hadn't noticed Predator and Edward until you mentioned them! There's a figure just above the bright lights that looks like the Sith Lord 🔍 6y

Bookwomble Oh, wait - yes, that's the Predator! My screen is tiny so I'm having to squint 😁 6y

#FlyontheWingsofLove I got no book for today, but I just couldn‘t make a list with Danish music without adding our Eurovision 2000 winners - The Olsen Brothers 😄😄

Do any of you Eurovision lovers remember this? #SeptemberDanes

julesG I didn't remember the year but clearly remembered them winning the ESC. (I'm still trying to come up with a book for today. I have no ideas. - oh, now I have one. 😉) 6y

LeeRHarry Er no ...but I remember Emmelie de Forest ! 6y

Kalalalatja @AnneCecilie @julesG I remember trying to stay awake to see them perform (I was only 8), and being soooo tired, so I fell asleep before even seeing them 😂 6y

Kalalalatja @LeeRHarry she is a but more recent, so I really don‘t blame you 😄 6y

DivineDiana New to me! 6y

ferskner I HEART THIS ONE BILLION TIMES. I went to the jury final in Copenhagen in 2014 and on the canal bus back to Amalienborg the driver played this, Cliche Love Song, and Only Teardrops and it was just so so so so fun to sing along with a bunch of tipsy but really happy people from all over Europe. (The being said, this song cracks me up, as most of Eurovision does.) 6y

Kalalalatja @ferskner this sounds AMAZING! I can only imagine how fun that must have been. And yeah, Eurovision songs are pretty laughable a lot of the time 😂😂 6y

ferskner Yes! It's really hard to explain to people that I legitimately love the whole thing while also am kind of laughing at it. 6y
