Facts and stats that interest me and me alone: 🇸🇪 would have NQed if it was still televote only semis (and SF1 had the top 10 jury songs qualify, albeit in a different order) 🇨🇭 Got Tick Tock-ed! 9th with both jury and the televote but 11th overall, 2nd time now that's happened (after Tick Tock?)

Surely not the only one with a weird feeling in their stomach today - I've not been engaging this week and will continue with that tonight (100% my choice and if that's not yours, that's fine with me). I'll dissect points after the fact with all the other nerds though so will be back tomorrow

Mr Hevs says that he thought Felicia was dressed purposefully as Scorpion from Mortal Kombat, which means absolutely nothing to me, and he's now had the whole background to her explained instead, much to his chagrin #Melfest

I thought that Lilla would absorb some of the televote but it's looking like a total Felicia landslide #Melfest

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I just don't know how Mr Coffee got a better result than this #Melfest

I have questions about the beard, Danny (not good ones) #Melfest

I promise I sent this before the song started... #Melfest

Aw they're wearing the Herreys gold shoes 😍 #Melfest

It's a schlager-fest, even better #Melfest

Are we getting KAJ x Alcazar...? #Melfest

Bjorkman jumpscare #Melfest

Just realised the song that Saga's reminded me of - Ain't No Good by Mimi Werner, Melfest heritage #Melfest

Helena is so just down the hall sending this over #Melfest

I know we're only 3 juries in but Delulu not being dead last is a surprise #Melfest

I can smell the Edward af Sillén all over this (complimentary) #Melfest

Ngl I was enjoying the whimsical host song more #Melfest

I don't see a world where Felicia doesn't win (famous last words) #Melfest

My least favourite yeehaw-ovision entry of the year #Melfest

What does taking your shirt off get you in Fantasanremo, Melodifestivalen edition? #Melfest

Finally on with #Melfest - Gina Dirawi is aging backwards

I disassociated at work today while Delulu was playing through my headphones, which was a surreal moment when I came back around (for some reason I quite like Delulu, sue me)

Buongiorno - what a wild, and yet not unexpected, Sanremo result. It's one of those great things where the top 5 (aside from the unstoppable Fedez + Masini) all could have been there, or 6-10, or randomly 23rd, and I wouldn't have batted an eye. Viva Sal Da Vinci and his love of love 💒💑

Finally turned on Sanremo to Andrea Bocelli flying in on a white horse, most normal thing to happen this week #Sanremo

So in an odd turn of events, I watched the last hour of Norway, and have a sneaking suspicion that Jonas Lovv could do very well in the locals 'this doesn't sound like a Eurovision song so it must be good' voting pool

I hope whoever the Mileo fan was in York is having a good time right now #MGP

Everyone's settling down to watch NF finals, I'm watching a Danish doc on the Profumo affair, we're not the same 💁‍♀️ (We're in a damp Copenhagen and the hotel TV has been teasing me with a faux option for Rai1 that's not actually tuned in, my pain is immeasurable)

Had to live vicariously through translated Italian memes these past few serate (and I'm almost definitely missing the last night which is like the first time in six years), but I gather I have wholesome father/son moments, and musical theatre greatness to delve into later on

Not my brain being so Sanremo that the name that jumped out first for Una Voce was Rosa Chemical And then I saw it... BOY GEORGE?!

The headache I have had all morning, Conti...!

If you look up performance art in the dictionary, it's a montage of Dargen D'Amico's Sanremo entries #Sanremo

I choose to believe Lillo is lipsyncing for his life #Sanremo

If this is finally the song that wins it for Fedez, it'll be a shame, it has made zero impact on me, and for good or ill, his songs over the years have tended to stay with me #Sanremo

Unsurprisingly this is my fave, it's the first time my interest in an act has really grown outside of Sanremo confines, and it's a bit of a full circle moment to have him back in it for me - also the song is just the one #Sanremo

well my day is ruined #Sanremo

Italia Starter Pack: Boat Edition #Sanremo

First time hearing Nayt live and the cello goes hard (completely normal sentence for a Sanremo if I ever made one) #Sanremo

Oh I love the line dancers #Sanremo

The fact that I get to see Italia Starter Pack in a few minutes is the only thing stopping me from nodding off (I have listened to it too much today, the yeehaw is strong) #Sanremo

Nothing like an arty Achille Lauro experience to brighten up a Wednesday evening #Sanremo

No flowers?? #Sanremo

Another in-ear issue? #Sanremo

Football chants? In *my* Sanremo?! #Sanremo

The darts and Sanremo are two of the funniest places to see heavies #Sanremo

Ah, we get the drag queen every night - maybe this is funnier in Italian...? #Sanremo

Wow, you tune into a different country's Olympics montage and it's not just wall to wall skeleton and curling (yes I'm still bitter GB won a gold in snowboard cross and people basically went 'that's not a sport we do usually so it doesn't matter') #Sanremo

Just realised that one of the dance moves being done in Voilà is the "snatch the crown" drag race staple #Sanremo

Carlo Conti seems to be folding his cue cards (then giving them to others) and it is really getting to me #Sanremo

Jumpscared by Raye, that's a new one (also Raye on the Sanremo stage when??) #Sanremo

Ooh so this was one I came to as a pleasant surprise this morning - this man and this song don't look like they'd mix, but here we are #Sanremo

Oh it's going to be a ballad on ballad Giovani final isn't it? #Sanremo
