Luxembourg doing their national final in, like, 6 different languages is just flexing at this point. #LSC #Eurovision

First impressions of #FestivaldaCanção 2026 songs, a thread.🧵 #Eurovision

In a perfect world, we'd actually have Moldova break the mold and send "Respir Liber" to Eurovision. But the fandom is what it is these days and we're going to have "Viva Moldova" win for sure. God forbid #Eurovision isn't that "wacky and silly European contest". #FinalaNaţională2026

What's the most common hashtag for Malta's semi-final tonight? Just #MESC? Or #MESC2026? Or something else?

Is this a map for the places where the #Eurovision 2026 Live Tour will be travelling to or a map for the Iron Curtain? Who knows.

That Igaram shot on minute 1:14 is one of the silliest, most ridiculous, over-the-top things I've ever seen in a live-action medium. I'm so glad they are not shying away from that. #OnePiece (CGI and wire work do look a bit wonky, though, but I'm discounting that on this being just a teaser.)

Finished watching #StrangerThings and after reading some comments online, I feel like I'm the only person who actually enjoyed this last season? (1/6)

In a time where every single decision regarding graphical design in #Eurovision has been made with a demonstrable lack of taste, tackiness and dumb "fellow kids" trends in mind, this actually looks surprisingly slick and professional looking. I welcome it.

#ESC250 is like Formula 1 in late 90ies, you watch it for the third place because first two will always be the same two red cars 🤭

I swear to God, Songfestival.be seriously needs to consider opening an exception and retire Loreen's songs out of the #ESC250 chart. I'm not even joking anymore. This *was* funny for a while, but it isn't anymore and honestly, makes the voting and the ranking frustrating and pointless.

"Zjerm", true winner. #ESC250

So, with Loreen in the top 2 spots and a 2025 entry in the top 3, I think it's pretty safe to assume "Zjerm" landed 3rd place. And given Loreen's songs are disqualified on the account of being there fucking always and so they don't count anymore, "Zjerm" is the true winner of #ESC250 in 2025. : D

"Zjerm" in top 10? Oh, well done, fandom. 🥰 #ESC250

"Nocturne" is just one of those Eurovision songs that you can just feel the reverence and the respect the fandom has for it. Wonderful placement for it. #ESC250

Uff, 35 is a very low placement for the current champion. #ESC250

God, this #Eurovision edit of "Space Man" is so obnoxious. Way to ruin an incredible song. #ESC250

"Mall" this high up warms my heart. :') #ESC250

"Espresso Macchiato" at 90 is still to high up. #ESC250

"Guilty Pleasure" at 115? Wut. #ESC250

As much as like #ESC250 as an event, I do agree the format is majorly outdated and this 12-hour stream is not *it* anymore. I feel dividing the rank in "episodes", with 50 songs, maybe even fewer, and airing them every day in the last week of the year, in prime-time, would be much more fun.

I’ve hesitated posting something from that Other Place here but it’s the only way you can see this, I swear it’s quite funny. #ESC250

Surprised "Sebi" is this high up, I haven't seen anyone mention this song IN YEARS. #ESC250

Freaking "Invincible", seriously. SERIOUSLY. #ESC250

I always forget how pretty the beginning to the "The Voice" is. #ESC250

"El Diablo" at 138. Seriously? 🤨 #ESC250

Immaculate run, 10 out of 10, no notes. #ESC250

"My Star". 😍 #ESC250

See how the ranking is so much more interesting without having 15 Swedish entries in a row? #ESC250

"Occidentali's Karma", "Telemóveis" and "Crno i belo" back to back, this section of the rank is after my own heart. #ESC250

"Telemóveis" still in the rank, I'll take any position. 😍 #ESC250 Also, a reminder that Conan Osíris just released a full new album, literally 4 days ago.

Oh, "Occidentali's Karma" at 146 is just criminal. #ESC250

Honestly surprised "Trenulețul" is so low. #ESC250

"Before The Party's Over" is one of the best #Eurovision songs this decade so far, fight me. #ESC250

Joy Fleming! She's back! #ESC250

Given the spam of Swedish songs and the odd Israeli entries also making an appearance, my prediction is that Loreen is very secured in first place again with "Euphoria" and "New Day Will Rise" will be in top 10. #ESC250

No, but seriously. #ESC250

Jesus Christ, Sweden. Chill. This is why no one likes you. /s #ESC250

"Circles" made it. I though I was the only person who loved this song. :') #ESC250

Alcohol? At this hour in the morning? Sure, why not. #ESC250

Italy 1984 is one of those songs that the fandom LOVES and I have no idea why. It's not bad by any means, but I just don't understand what makes it so special. #ESC250

Montenegro 2025 is such a much better song pre-revamp, it's not even funny. Don't know what they were thinking when they did that clumsy and low-production-value Eurovision edit. #ESC250

The Swedish have arrived. #ESC250

I feel the amount of entries from the 2000s and early 2010s so far is really telling of the age of the fellows who sent in their votes. This is definitely the millennial section of #ESC250.

I'd never thought I 'd say this, but god damn it, I miss Symphonix at #Eurovision. That loss is one of the tragedies of the 2020 cancellation. #ESC250

I'm realizing I think I had never heard the studio version of "Be My Valentine". Wow, this... this is not good. #ESC250

How in the world did "Rockstars" make it. German fans, please. What. #ESC250

Hell yeah, "Igranka". #ESC250

I will die on the hill that 2017 is not the weak #Eurovision year everyone makes it out to be and "Origo" is a very strong argument for it. #ESC250

Ok, firstly, #ESC250 starting an hour earlier than usual, rude. /s Second, "On Fire" BARELY made it? Uff.

You'd think there would be no worse format for a #Eurovision national final than whatever it was that Germany came up with for 2025, but Bulgaria really came in 2026 and said hold my beer. eurovoix.com/2025/12/30/b...
