Marty Whelan saying somebody is a "huge TikTok person" will never not be funny.
#Portugal - it's a sim from me! 
#Switzerland there, attempting to be earnest and worthy, but singing about not wanting to be "a soldier on the frontline" in an Extremely Neutral Country.
I don't think you've anything to worry about, hun.
#Israel are up now, presumably taking a short break from murdering children.
Sorry, #Moldova this flutey business don't impress me much.
EVERYONE RESUME WHAT YOU WERE DOING.
It's the Terrible Pear.
(That's a niche reference.)
Oh no. The well-intentioned #Czechia entry re-worked their staging and it's so much worse.

@clickhere I'm gutted for you, that was a good song!
Thanks!
Though, to be fair, I didn't think it was an especially strong song - but I do think it was better than a few of them that got through.. 
@clickhere For sure, not a winner but def worthy of the final imo
@clickhere@mastodon.ieThat's very generous of you! (I'm less forgiving..)
