Happy 3 years (and 1 day) to the best #JESC song of all time winning the show, Maléna's 'Qami Qami.' 🇦🇲
What a performer! All the fellow artists hugging him while singing and still hitting every note. Awesome.

Absolute runaway jury winner with good support from the home voters. The televote winner was just too far back.
Might not be my bag of chips, but I can absolutely see why "To my mum" won, and won big: a very good song, with an absolutely stellar staging.
Full review in next weekend's Week.
Not mad about Georgia winning. Perfect performance, good song.
Love to see the Ukrainans congratulating first. So emotional.
Because of the way the votes are shared out (0.1% of the online vote gets 1 point), it's very difficult to score less than 35 points, and almost impossible to get 300.
117 for "Esperança" will be the televote winner, but "To my mum" is champion overall.
Was hoping Estonia and North Macedonia get more points.
Not deserving this low positions.

Gonna need to see this vote reveal again.
Looks like the jury spokespeople were pre-recorded in their home studios.
Lots of love for "To my mum", which got the first five 12 points; "Hear me now" briefly took the lead, and I wonder how many juries could vote for "Comme ci comme ça",
"To my mum" ends up the jury winner by 180-122 for "Hear me now".
Yeah, what's Tbilisi like at this time of year?
Holy shit #Georgia!

We also hear that Mark Whitesuit is a decent dancer, and that last year's winning singer Zoe is now in cabaret.
Voting next, and the jury vote goes *very* quickly - the spokespeople are on stage in Madrid.
They're showing the lower points quickly, so all the 1s, all the 2s, and so on. Er, wha..?
Yeah, very decent dance act.
Abraham Mateo is the special guest performer, with a montage of his hits and other songs.
I voted for "Tänavad", "Comme ci comme ça", and "Music", the songs I think were best performed and fit the singers' voices. Also considered "Como la Lola" and "Esperança".
Voting is at https://jesc.tv
The interval act involves a girl with a light-up globe... and she may not be alone.
And finally! "Stilla ċkejkna" from Ramires Sciberras, PBS ("Malta").
The song's about his adoption journey, from Cambodia to Malta. Sung entirely in Maltese
Strong vocal, and the staging gains from Ramires being alone on stage - lots of fireworks in the background.
"Le chéile", Enya Cox Dempsey for TG4 ("Ireland").
Do they have party songs in Irish? They have party songs in Irish!
I have no clue what she's singing, but it's clear she's having a very good time. Great lower register, somewhat nasal in the higher notes - and most of the song is in the higher notes.
The staging is cheap: just coloured lights on the backdrop and underfloor. I'd love TG4 to win, but not feeling it this year. Sorry.
"Esperança" from Victoria Nicole, TVP ("Portugal").
Victoria wrote this piano ballad herself, and it tells of her dreams and hopes, while she wears a very nice mint-green dress.
Most songs are in %something% and English, "Esperança" in Portuguese and Spanish. Helps get the crowd on side, and add to her excellent vocal belt.
Wind machine, and there may be a key change in there. Could go very well.
"Hear me now" sings Artem Kotenko for UA:PBC ("Ukraine").
It's important to have somewhere safe to call home, the message of the song.
Artem wears his white suit, four backing dancers carry miniature window frames and *almost* synchronise their dance moves. Lovely moment when Artem steps through the frames.
Vocal is good, not excellent. Could pick up votes as a late upbeat song.
"Come noi", Idols SM, welcome back SMRTV ("San Marino").
Compare and contrast: four young women in this band, and it really feels like they got off to a rotten start - was that really the right note?
Electroclash tune, rather like a Paul Farrer telly theme, quite refreshing in this context.
Black jackets on dark stage don't pop out of the camera. Song comes together towards the end; I'll be interested to hear the studio version.
"Music" from Stay Tuned represents NPO/AVROTROS ("Netherlands")
Four-piece band, three of them wearing blazers like Pacer sweets, one wearing a montage of sweet packets.
It's well-drilled singing and dancing, with a pleasant costume change. Perhaps not the greatest vocal range, but the vibes are great.
"Save the best for us", Bjarne for KiKA/NDR ("Germany").
It's another "save the planet" song, performed by someone who's dressed like David Attenborough.
Just the wrong side of twee for me, the lad's chest vocal is much better than his throat register.
Not impressed by the postcards, too much cheap digital art.
