    Czech Republic has just got 1st half.
    As they closed their semi , and following in the footsteps of similar cases, no one should be surprised if they will open the final

    Running order- Grand Final:

    I was right about the Czech Republic opening, was very much wrong about Switzerland at number 2.
    They still kept the idea of 2 up-tempo starting the show, although Romania after Czech Republic is changing gear from a high energy to a mellower 2nd song.

    Ukraine at number 12 – the last favourite performing from 12 was Arcade in 2019. We know how this ended. I leave it to you what this means.

    The 2nd half is one of the slowest we have in recent year. It’s a long section of ballads which will send everyone sleeping. Moldova will wake them up. Expect a high televote results for them.

    Putting Australia/U.K./Poland back to back is a nightmare for the stage crew.
    3 male solo, different colours of voice but still 3 male solo after each other. And putting Sweden just before Australia, has just increased Sweden chances.
