Sweden is also on tonight with KAJ's Bara Bada Bastu which is an absolute banger. 25 minutes until the show starts. #SLCLEurovision

We'll have some interstitials from countries already in the Grand Final tonight from Spain, Italy and Switzerland. My 9-year-old has been weighing in on a few of the songs, and the Italy entry is not faring well. "It's a bit old-fashioned." Can't argue with that. #SLCLEurovision
