It’s time for my Eurovision hot takes:
Great winner. Bangaranga was excellent. The choreography was fresh. The singer owned the stage and deserved to be the champ.
Reckoning dodged. Eurovision was already in a crisis of boycotts due to Israeli participation. That would intensify is Israel had won. They’ve gotten away with another year.
Britain deserved what it got. Out of the “fun” songs, ours was probably the worst. Indecipherable lyrics and too much furniture on stage.
Inexplicably overrated: Australia, Finland, France.
Italy was brilliant, as usual. So was Serbia. Denmark was cool.
Robbed: Belgium and Austria.
Anyway – that’s 2026 all done. If Bulgaria do actually host then maybe I’ll go in 2027. A cheap country for once. Hooray!
