Unusually for Eurovision the Junior contest under-ran by five minutes. Generally well produced though the hosts were quite poor throughout.

Freya managed fifth overall and actually won the online vote. Not bad at all considering today was the first time all week she's actually been able to sing it live. She still wasn't 100% but cleverly they got two of the backing singers to sing the highest notes in the verses which she would've struggled with otherwise. The big note at the end became an audience shoutout instead as well.

I absolutely loathe the winners France. They've already confirmed they'll host next year. Will be interesting see what the ratings will be in the UK, I'd guess a few hundred thousand.
