In Eurovision you cant vote for the contestant from your country though.
I watched the whole first semi finial tonight on SBS TV. Well done to the two Australian hosts Miff Warhurst and Joel Creasey.
Israels distinctive and entertaining contestant got through to the Grand Final so good luck. Bulgaria and a few others were very good too.
More good singers this year too and less “tits and feathers” (to use a burlesque phrase) in the acts like in the past which is an improvement.
