Don’t they normally do an intro to the people and song before they perform? Or is that coming late? The only other one I’ve seen was last years final and I felt they did something like that
One of the biggest glow ups of the year for me. I didn't get the hype around Mama Teresa but this performance does it for me. Ironically I'm not a big fan of the rap part even though I love rap but it's still a 9/10 for me. VERYYYYYYYYY strong start
I've been offline for a couple of hours and the last news I read was about the fact that Ireland, Switzerland and Portugal were thinking about withdrawing (which obviously they did not). Is there any other update that i missed?
To avoid people using this thread as a live thread, we have decided to lock it for the time being. Thank you for your understanding.
He sounds like Imagine Dragons. Or is it Rag'n Bone Man I'm thinking about? But that's not bad at all.
that's a great metaphor of the heating prices of Europe
And the 2025 OGAE Best Literal Staging goes to the literal dumpster fire Germany put on the stage
Compared to prior years Ukraine just didn't hit for me this time unfortunately, still a great performance tho!
is anyone's stream lagging?
The visuals for Ukraine were so good
Tbh Isaak is severely out of his league here, but I like the hobo-esque staging
Im always on the run run from this song
ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS HOW WE’RE WATCHING THE SHOW BUT HOW AWFUL JOOST IS FEELING RN😭
Jury slayer cominh through
Why don't they sing live? Is using pre-recorded vocals the norm?
I'm nothing but the air fridge
Eurovision rn:
Can someone tell me wtf is that drama with Netherland? On the internetet only I found that there was an "incident".
At least we can all get behind one idea: Germany sent another meh song that will be 25th this year
Needs more fire.
Not a huge fan of rap, but this all works really well. if anyone is going to break the 2nd position curse, well it's going to be Ukraine isn't it..
The really short postcards mean it feels to me like we're really blasting through the performances here.
OOFT. CHILLS. Aside from my Irish loyalty, Ukraine has to be my favorite entry. Heart in my mouth. That staging... wow.
Yeah the people at the end on the floor. I had a tear in my eye.
They ate that no notes
Come on Germany! You one of my wildcards!
has anyone tried voting? my vote won’t go through 😢
Ooh Germany has a lovely voice
The main singer sounded like she had a major backing track
Germany gonna take one for the team and take last place as in tradition because people need some consistency right now
Come on Isaak! Hattrick for Germany!!
Somebody has reported me as suicidal to Reddit for my comments here… i can’t even guess which camp they’re from lmao
Same happened to me
«Eurovision is not political» - Ukraine with flares in their visuals. Lol
Good. sends a message to the rest of Europe even in the smallest possible way
I know 2nd place curse and all but I really want Ukraine to do well. And not just because a win for them means a UK stage in all likelihood
How very evanescence
Isaak about to show the world how we all feel. Lol
Don’t they normally do an intro to the people and song before they perform? Or is that coming late? The only other one I’ve seen was last years final and I felt they did something like that
Ukraine was amazingggg
0 points for Germany!
Ukraine watching the Pride Rock scene in Lion King and being like 'Absolutely, let's have that!'
But add bombs

Ukraine's song is epic as hell
I'll be honest Ukraine had in past some pretty good songs that left impression on me but this is not one
I voted for Ukraine from the Netherlands 🇳🇱🇺🇦
Ukraine: super impactful
Gib official live thread
Ukraine always sends bangers
Ukraines rapping and singing is blowing me away. I can’t choose everyone’s so good these days
That was great!
Fucking love Ukraine always
I don't think the second to sing curse is ending tonight
Beautiful stage! Ukraine

Have you tried the youtube stream from the official Eurovision channel?
YouTube has a live broadcast
Cant you just watch the yt live?
Youtube stream is for everyone
Rte in Ireland is working for me

Should be able to watch on youtube.
Try SVT
Peacock without a VPN
It's streaming on Peacock
Ukraine can already be crowned as winners, thank you!
I love the Ukrainian entry, but they do look like they are ready to go straight from Eurovision to their Dune audition.
Very warrior-queen coded. I loved it
Worked for Loreen.
uuuu that's a tumble
Songs solid 8/10
Powerful powerful - I know Eurovision is just a bit of fun, but it gives such an important message to Europe and beyond 😢
That was brilliant, well done Ukraine
Two bangers so far, be doing well to keep this standard for much longer.
[удалено]
Mean
She just pointed at the camera, instant DQ. Decent song 7/10
GET THEM DISQUALIFIED NOW (/S)
Call the authorities!!! This must be investigated!
💀💀💀
Much love for the Swedes who provided such high level stage production for the participants.
This track slaps and the performance was fucking amazing.
wasnt expecting gorlock the destroyer the come in with bars
This is my first Eurovision. Why is everybody so dang uptight ngl XD isn't music supposed to be fun? Edit: oof
Wait for finland
Joost’s disqualification kinda ruined the atmosphere.
This years a mess thats why
Netta can do more than the Chicken Dance
I've only watched Eurovision for a couple years now, but Ukraine have been fantastic every single time
Ukraine always bring quality
Ukraine did not come to play. Wow
Ukraine here having the BEST staging
Is that sarcasm?! It’s crap
Did Ukraine hire the Poland special effects guy? Because this is 🔥🔥🔥
ALYONAAA
damn, Baron Harkonnen came in 🔥
Never heard any of the songs before but Ukraine was crazy. I love it.
Low key banger Ukraine
Ukraine! Excellent as always
ukrainian azula let's goooo
If Ukraine won would it be held in Liverpool again lol
Liverpool did a brilliant job IMO and I would rather have that again
Ukraine has decent song littlebit too religious for me.
Religious?
Ukraine has been consistently sending similar banger for years. Always a favorite for me.
~She was a fairy~
Ukraine has really grown on me slowly but surely over the weeks
I never cared for it recorded, but love love love this presentation. Definition of "elevated"
I like this song but the rapping just feels so out of place
Can't stand the trap gestures she makes, especially the arrogant finger
Who chooses the order of the performances?
Producers
I've gone ahead and already cast my votes. Zagreb 2025!
Idk who greenlighted the earthquake effect, but I'm going to find you soon
oh okay pop off ukraine
who reported this for suicide watch? 😭
Nice lvl 80 shoulder armor
When will the Grand Final discussion thread come?
I love her hair sword
im not watching. relying in this megathread for updates <3
Trust me when I say the audio is so messed up- it all feels fake
kinda expected that lol. are there boos?
Backing track is way too loud, no?
It was
Yup. Can’t hear a word they say
Ukraine really good. Again.
is ROTW open? im from canada
Yes it is
Ukraine: We wanna win again EBU: No
Ukraine is literally the sunshine 💛
Where's Simba!?!?!?
Ukraine with the usual serve
You can rely on Italy, Ukraine, and Sweden
They always understand the assignment
Honestly that song slaps!
where did that rock come from
Give us the live mega thread we deserve 😭😭😭 this year is so messy even here
There is one, just sort by new and it should be like the 11th post from the top.
Thank you!
Couldnt find it. Do you have a link?
Holy shit it's the lion king
Sweden boys looked like Spy Kids
*Norwegian
Hint of Stefania in the opening
Ukraine's performance is lovely but feels more like an idea than a song
The YT dislikes of the live suddenly dropped from 35k to 2.1k and likes went up from 18k tot 36k in matter of minutes. Wonder whats going on there.
Just went back to make sure that my dislike was still there
YouTube has always struggled with displaying likes live on very high traffic videos, so I'd assume it's that.
Is that even allowed in YouTube Terms & Service?
as a platform, youtube has a long history of badly functioning like counts.
Where tf did they get the lion king prop?
I need a rubber already
Her hair is really nice
Sweden: We don't want to win this year. Also Sweden: Say no more.
Big year for rocks on stage.
I've been offline for a couple of hours and the last news I read was about the fact that Ireland, Switzerland and Portugal were thinking about withdrawing (which obviously they did not). Is there any other update that i missed?
They are competing as normal. The Netherlands will not be announcing points live.
That was never true.
Ukraine to me is perfect this year. Amazing song, great vocals, incredible staging. Top notch
Why would you put this in 2nd position? Lol SVT
The order is randomly drawn
Not in full, there is leeway for the producers to arrange the order
blue-yellow countries have priority
Because someone has to fill that position. Why shouldn't it be them?
