With one space left in the final, the cameras were focussed on Sweden’s Anna Bergenthal, and Denmark’s Chanee and N’evergreen. The scores will be revealed on Monday, but with the final place being awarded to the Danish duet singing a song that had been rejected by the Swedish broadcaster two years ago, you have to feel some sympathy for Bergenthal. Fair play to Denmark, as the couple finally found the spark of performance that has been lacking in this Schlager pop number that throws everything including the kitchen sink at the key change. Which looks to have been successful.
A Eurovision final without Sweden is going to be a strange place, up till now they’ve been there every year they’ve entered, but it’s a welcome return to Cyprus for the Saturday night show as Jon Lilygreen and the Islanders proved a popular qualifier. The fact that Jon is welsh, and the backing band includes Scots and Irish musicians might give the BBC some food for thought when the Cypriot result is compared to the UK’s Josh Dubovie.
Still, it should mean we get one tradition back, namely the annual exchange of twelve points between Greece and Cyprus!
