I really like this more intimate ending performance in the green room - feels really great to see #Eurovision
New blog post! The Eurovision For The Youth
https://noof.omg.lol/2026/05/the-eurovision-for-the-youth-eurovision-2026
That's it from me for tonight - maybe a blog post when I've recovered in the morning. Goodnight! #Eurovision
Incredible entry from Bulgaria - a high intensity pop hit with excellent staging and broad youth appeal. So deserving of their win #Eurovision
France next, one of the big four, they receive 14 points! A really low total for them #Eurovision
Finland, 5th to last to receive their televote - 138 points! They go 4th, and they were the bookies favourite! #Eurovision
There are 664 points remaining to be allocated - it is likely that one of the remaining countries will take the lead #Eurovision
Italy receive 147 from the televote! Takes them into 3rd - they won't get higher than this tonight #Eurovision
Israel next up - 220 points! This puts them in the lead by 50 points for the moment #Eurovision
Norway are next up with 19 points! A very low total, but enough to take them to the left hand side #Eurovision
Malta next only get 8 points! They stay on the right hand side of the board
Czechia next up get 9 points... not surprising given their tech issues #Eurovision
Greece next, 147 points! A great haul for them, but only takes them to 4th place. We might actually be in for a tight finish! #Eurovision
Albania next up - 85 points, taking them to 145 and putting them in 6th for now
Romania next - 232 points! That might be the televote winner there! They take the lead with their new haul
