Eurovision was everything it should be and more – 21 fabulous reactions
The glorious spectacle that is the Eurovision Song Contest seemed better than ever this year, perhaps because of its – and our – forced hiatus due to Covid-19. Although Graham Norton’s hilariously frank commentary helped a lot.
Graham Norton:
“We have some great vocalists tonight – some flat as Holland.”
“We have 39 competitors, but thankfully 13 have lost already.” #Eurovision

It had all the essential elements – flags, glitz, eye-wateringly tight costumes, the whole gamut of musical styles, and camp – so much camp.
If you don’t want to know who won – look away now …
Italy’s Måneskin took the prize, with their rock song Zittie e Buoni – ‘Shut Up and Behave’, if you were wondering, while the UK entry got nul points. What a shocker.

If the Corona Virus entered an act they’d get more points than the UK. #Eurovision

Happy #Eurovision day! For any Americans confused about Eurovision, its like the superbowl half time show but on ketamine and directed by a drunk panto horse that cannot and will not be stopped.

I can't imagine what we've done to annoy the rest of Europe. It's not as though we've spent the last five years telling them all to fuck off. #Eurovision
