Yep, almost time for the real contest taking place today.
I must admit I’ve developed a bit of a crush on Laura Thorn of Luxembourg. There, I said it.

Oh she won’t win, as much as I’d like her to.
The modern Eurovision is largely decided in advance by the song already being a hit. Sweden, the favourites, have over 44 million Spotify streams of their song (the most by some distance) compared to say the UK’s 3.1 million.
When Sam Ryder came second to Ukraine due to the sympathy/solidarity vote, his song was the most streamed entry that year.
Luxembourg’s entry has around 3m, placing them towards the bottom along with the UK based on the predicted public vote.
