Eurovision 2012 - 22/24/26 May 2012

That wide shot camera before they started singing looked like SD.

What are people's views so far? Even though it's produced by Brainpool again this year, I think tonight's show is lacking a lot of the charm of last year's...

I disagree, I'm quite enjoying it tonight, Russian grannies were a good laugh and I quite liked the Cyprus song even if it is a blatant rip off of On The Floor by Jennifer Lopez .

If I was to find fault with it the lighting could be a bit better, it looks like they've blown the budget on the outside and forgotten about the stage. The stage isn't great either, its looks like a massive version of The Voice.

She really is the Italy Any whinehouse

Really can't understand why it's meant to be one of the favourites this year.

Slightly more understandable than why Sweden is the hot favourite, and I agree with Graham that Estonia could do very well.

And it was the first time I'd heard the Humps song tonight. Thankfully it'll be the last too.

I quite like the Swedish entry. The songs seem to have picked up a bit now, thankfully, they were inanely dull before.

Is it just me, or are the postcards all pretty samey. There must be more to Azerbaijan than clips of Baku at night.

The postcards are indeed crap, The flame towers, again and again, the TV Tower, again and again

Well I doubt there wish to show us the protester..... and STILL Ireland going to beat up in the broad!

My vote is either italy, Russia or that other one.

I found it better tonight than in the semi - it sounds better than it's staged - the drunken Claudia Winkleman does it no favours.
