🇬🇧 BBC One will broadcast another edition of 'The Big Eurovision Party' on Friday 7th March - after the Graham Norton Show. This is a recording of Het Grote Songfestivalfeest that took place in Amsterdam late last year.

Could we get the 2025 UK announcement around this time?

🇮🇹 #Sanremo

Important message about consent, obvious but always necessary to repeat it in our days: "If I don't want to, you cannot."

👏👏👏

🇱🇻 #ltvsupernova #Eurovision

This looks like some early televote results: The Ludvig is ahead, and has not even performed yet! Will the results change much at the end?
Remember, only 50% of the vote come from the televote!

🇧🇪 #Eurosong #Eurovision

And let's leave the Baltic for the North Sea, as Eurosong (the Belgian one) will soon begin!

A little reminder of the running order, and of the favourites: the XTRA team wants "Désolée" but Eurovision Prediction players predict that "Strobe lights" will win!

🇱🇻 #Supernova #Eurovision

And crossing the Baltic Sea, let's also check on Latvia, where Supernova 2025 begins with its unique semi-final!

A very strongselection this year, with 19 entries competing (Greta having withdrawn) for 10 spots in the final next week!

🇸🇪 #Melodifestivalen

Sverigers Television Presenterar... the opening of Super Saturday season!

Melfest begins tonight, with the first heat, and 6 entries competing for two spots in the final!

And SVT opens with a fashionable reference to "Wicked", of course!

This is the end of our coverage for tonight. Congratulations to Laura Thorn, and to the entire RTL team behind the show!

🇱🇺 At the press conference, Laura Thorn explains that "La poupée monte le son" is not her usual style, but that she's still a young artist, experimenting with different styles.

🇱🇺 Do you see the confettis from Zero point five's performance? They actually have some of the quotes from the road signs on them

🇱🇺 With his jacket, Andrea from One Last Time looks like Ryan Gosling's Ken from the Barbie Movie, don't you think?

🇱🇺 The augmented reality on TV screens is very good and a happy surprise (they can't see it in the arena, obviously).

Between that and the green lights, it feels like the MATRIX!
The infinite mirror effect in the chorus works well, as dancers join Luzac in the second part.

🇱🇺 An energic intro to the performance from Rafa Ela, which starts in front of a large screen.

The play with her four dancers with shadows and backgrounds is like a new version of Shady Lady's intro!
