Not Luxembourg taking a leaf out of the Poland's book on graphics

[Jon]

Welcome back to Luxembourg after 31 years!

With 31 years think they’d have been able to come up with something better.

With the context of most of everything else Cyprus was much better second time around.

I didn't have Johnny Logan performing Euphoria on my ESC 2024 bingo card

But it's really beautiful actually

[Jon]

Presumably Loreen will be performing a Johnny Logan song on Thursday.

I agree. I actually loved his version of Euphoria. It looked and sounded fantastic.

The votes for Semi-Final 1 have now closed tonight.

The app appears to be suffering from technical problems.

As previously, the app is superfluous in the UK, as it just dials the shortcode. Indeed, it hobbles the process - a 20-vote limit applies via the app, but doesn't if you dial directly

This is the problem with the app - people are being told they've hit the limit when they haven't voted at all.

Malin seems to be there to keep the wheels moving whilst Petra gets the fun, comedy moments

[James2001]

It’s a creative decision to give the show a certain look and it’s very fashionable.

Fasionable for reasons I can't even begin to understand, as it looks absolutely terrible on far too much content it's used on these days. Big live events like this especially.

There is a limit of 20 votes if you dial the number too.

But yes there is a bug telling you that you’ve already voted 20 times, at least it does still let you override that and vote anyway.

It’s much easier voting via the app and letting it dial the number for you tbh.

I was apprehensive when the opening/interval acts for tonight were announced but I've enjoyed all three of them tonight

Particularly enjoyed seeing Eric Saade again, along with Benjamin Ingrosso and Johnny Logan doing Euphoria
