Keep coming back to the word 'childish'. Personally didn't see the need to change it, and wasn't seeing anyone wanting it to change. The 70 with the heart I did like though #Eurovision
For the first time since 2015, the EBU has redesigned the generic Eurovision logo.
What do you think about the new logo?

Needed a round of decompress, but some thoughts on last night #Eurovision:
- Italy and Greece finishing 5th and 6th, so happy to see them get some respect
- Albania not doing as well as I hoped, but still a solid top 10
- Käärijä + Baby Lasagna was fun, not fussed on Nemo's performance
- Italy and Greece finishing 5th and 6th, so happy to see them get some respect
- Albania not doing as well as I hoped, but still a solid top 10
- Käärijä + Baby Lasagna was fun, not fussed on Nemo's performance

What an underwhelming winner, although the EBU will be relieved. Nothing for Switzerland from the public, WTF are you on about? Also feel bad for Remember Monday. What a poor final. #Eurovision

Prediction for tonight's #Eurovision final, think we'll see the most chaotic voting sequence with surprises all over the place. Personally hoping for Switzerland or Albania to win.

🇳🇴 solid opener, shame I have sit through everything to get to 🇦🇱. 🇫🇮 and 🇸🇪 getting prime spots (so predictable), 🇨🇭 get favourable acts before and after. Not feeling positive for 🇬🇧.
Would still rather an open draw than producers dictating everything #Eurovision

Discussion in work today was 'your favourite #Eurovision song', most people picked one or two, one of those 'how long is a piece of string?' questions for me so I had to give a lengthy list.

Another consistent 8/10, although after seeing 🇦🇺 & 🇮🇪 I did swap them for 🇱🇻 & 🇨🇿, so glad 🇬🇷 and 🇩🇰 made it!
Would have been nice for the songs of 2020 to be those who didn't get a second chance, overall again an underwhelming show, sums up the season for me. #Eurovision

#Eurovision Semi 2 prediction time, again I've been avoiding rehearsal clips so not based on them. This is the tougher to call of the semis so I expect some shocks, only really listen to two of them on the playlist tbh

8/10 on my picks, not surprised I was wrong about 🇸🇮 but 🇧🇪 was a shock, but was right on 🇨🇾. Thought the show was pretty average, hate the new voting sequence, opening + intervals weren't anything special. Watched with the family, they were underwhelmed when I said 🇸🇪 were the favourites #Eurovision

My #Eurovision predictions for tonight's semi, quite a few obvious ones but got a gut feeling that Slovenia can make it over Cyprus. Could see an NQ for Tommy Cash but I've put it in.
Note I have been avoiding rehearsal clips so I can enjoy them on the night.

Office sweepstake draw for #Eurovision today, ended up with Germany 🇩🇪 Happy it's one of my favourites, as much as I'd like it to win sadly the odds aren't in its favour.

Can't believe this was two years ago today! The last time #Eurovision was truly United by Music, if I go again I'll definitely stay in the host city rather than outside and travel in.
