This is so bad like the singing is awful!

Norway’s song would be great for the stage musical of Dune #Eurovision

Spain is my favourite entry this year, it’s bloody amazing #eurovision
🇪🇸 Now we have #Spain on stage, who is being represented by Melody with "Esa Diva" They are not participating tonight, as they are part of the Big Five, but will showcase their song for the crowd.

In less than a year the Labour Party have managed to completely destroyed my faith in them.

They are not a left or even centre left party anymore. Their policies on benefits, trans people and the NHS have left me completely unable to vote for them.

Very much disappointed by the ruling from the Supreme Court today. The trans community continue to face discrimination, which this ruling encourages.

The government needs to bring forward further legislation to support the trans community and create more safe space for the trans community

I didn’t think I could be more disappointed by this @teamlabouruk.bsky.social government but Wes Streeting does it again.

Attacks on NHS Managers, people with mental health illnesses and many others.

This isn’t the centre left party promised, this is just Tory light

I am loving how close that jury vote was #melfest

Annika has some of the worst staging going. This choreography is pretty awful #melfest

Not sure why Mans is dressed like he’s an extra in the matrix #Melfest
March 8, 2025 at 8:06 PM
This such a good final of #Melfest so many songs would be fantastic
March 8, 2025 at 7:45 PM
Dolly Style were my favourites tonight and I won’t be taking any questions #Melfest

Well ignore me I know nothing obvs no idea what the Swedish public like at all. #Melfest
I think Klara and Fredrik Lundman will go DF with Nomi Tales going to AC
🇸🇪 All of the 6 participants from tonight's show have now performed. We are currently getting a recap of all of the performances from tonight.

Which two artists will qualify for the final, and get the final qualification spot? Quote us with your predictions.

This is a really strong semi final, there are a few that I think could easily go through and have a good chance #Melfest
February 8, 2025 at 7:49 PM
This was excellent! I really hope it does well.

Some work on the staging at the start but the rest of it was amazing @melodifestivalen.se

#Melfest
🇸🇪 Okay Klara slayed hard on that performance. You can tell from the characteristics of the song that Cazzi Opeia was part of the production. Something about this is more heartfelt than her previous entries. Expecting a great result from this one.

RTVE have really upped the quality and production of #BenidormFest its great to see

Not sure why @melodifestivalen.se have put four future Tory MPs on an interval act #MelFest

Wes Streetings guidance to NHS England is shortsighted. He’s has abandoned tackling key areas of health inequalities for flashy headlines.

This is what we’ve come to expect from the Health Secretary, I’m not surprised.

The deprioritising of child health vaccines is ridiculous.

Alexander on the traitors was robbed, he comes across as such a lovely person.

My husband is pleased the traitors is over so I stop talking about him…I did not make that promise.
