Lisbon is bound to be brilliant. They've waited a LONG time for this and will certainly make the most of it. Always great to have a fresh winner - it gives every country hope and keeps everyone motivated. The message is that ANYONE can win!! Great show - only two songs I really didn't like - Denmark and Spain. Lucie did a great job - a couple of slightly odd facial contortions aside, pretty flawless and emerged with reputation enhanced. The build-up to Lisbon 2018 starts here!!

...Portugal deserved to win, very nice sound, different to everyone else... just watch next year back to the 1950s and powerful ballads… The Virgin of Fátima works in mysterious ways!  I agree, one swallow isn't enough to make a summer, but two back to back non-eurodisco winners tells us a healthy reaction is under way. Just like our foursome provoked in 1974, in the opposite direction! |

The winners paying tribute to my favourite entry, which inexplicably sank without trace in the semis.

Finland...alas the lyrics were very childish and repetitive... I honestly thought that the lyrics were unusually perceptive and poignant for a Eurovision entry. In particular, the anachronistic 'Now you remind me of something I'll never have' effectively encapsulates the confusing emotions associated with loss and/or grief. She seemed genuinely moved as she sang this line in the semis, and I was too  |

^^^ however poignant it may come across, it was very much and do t get me wrong, blackbird blackbird over and over, and alas in my opinion not good enough, hence why it failed to reach the final, that said it was better than quite a few that did make it...
just an aside.. the UK entry only just entered the UK charts, around 73, it will totally disappear this week, and alas the winner didn't officially make the top 75, around 97, again unless in English it had very little chance, as very few foreign language songs make our charts...
