It means the band have solidified their position as favourites in the competition.

Others countries which also progressed from the first semi-final to Saturday's final were Switzerland, Armenia, Iceland, Lithuania, Portugal, Norway, Greece, Moldova and the Netherlands.

It would be lovely for them to win but they're obviously not going to be in a fit state to host next year.

[NotAllThere]

I think it's practically certain they'll win!

[The Trade Winds]

Who is our entry? Do they still screen A Song For Europe on the BBC?

Which won't be a problem as I'm sure the UK or Germany / France would be more than happy to host it for them..

Has Russia been booted out?

Ukraine will probably get Zelensky to come on and do a rap

Without a doubt but if that's true then there are still some good odds at the bookies. 11/20 on Unibet at the moment. If it's given they are going to win that's not bad.

Yes, it's still on the Beeb (As usual there's plenty of Nadine/Wail complaints about the show that they don't watch, kinda like Dr Who).

Song 9 is Italy (for any TOGS out there)
