I didnt see all of tonights, but a few things that stood out to me.

A couple of the acts, Sweden and UK used the closed box structure in such a way that it didn't look like they were actually on stage. I hadn't seen Ollys song until tonight and I wondered if I was watching the video until they walked onto stage.

The other thing that is interesting is that they seem to be featuring the names of the acts more. The postcards end with their name and there was a sequence showing all the acts, all named, at the end. Wonder if this is a conscious shift away to personalities rather than countries?

Lastly there was a lot of reliance on archive and looking back to previous contests this year, as there was in Liverpool too. Seems a bit regressive to me, although it's nice to have a bit of history, maybe there's a bit too much, save it for a big anniversary year
