jovianstormFinal (17.05.25.)
(Due to me being on the other side of the planet from home, this was viewed on YouTube the day after airing.)
Ahahaha I am absolutely loving the creative use of past Eurovision songs in the 'fragile Eurovision trophy' opening sequence xD ♪ Flyyyy on the wiiiiings of looooove... ♪ xDDDD
Huaaaahhhh that 'Queen of the Night' bit in 'The Code' remains extremely pleasing *´▽`*
6: Melody - Esa diva (Spain)
Ooh I do like her outfit! Nice hat. As for the song... it's not bad.
14: Lucio Corsi - Volevo essere un duro (Italy)
Oh! Subtitles! Thanks for that! :D And the song has good vibes! I like this one! "Non sono altro che Lucio" 💕
16: Abor & Tynna - Baller (Germany)
Ooh! 👀 Very danceable! Memorable cross-language hook! And it's in German -‿- I am SHAKIN' MAH BUTT this is GOOD!!!!!!!
19: Zoë Më - Voyage (Switzerland)
Uh-huh. Quite nice. Not quite enough to blow me away, however.
24: Louane - Maman (France)
Aw. This is rather nice. Moving. I like!
I already commented on my own country's entry (UK) in my Semi-Final 2 post, hence why it's not included above!
Faves: Austria, Latvia, Estonia
Also wouldn't be opposed to a win by: Finland, Denmark
The Austrian performance was so incredible I got emotional, and that is RARE for me when it comes to Eurovision songs! And aren't the magic ladies from Latvia just marvellous ´▽`💕 Also, the Estonian coffee song is a mega dega earworm; even though the vocal performance wasn't particularly strong either in the Semi-Final or in this Final, the song is funny, memorable, and very sing-along-able.
... also Erika Vikman is great fun LOL. And that Danish song just feels good, maaannnnnn
Got to admit that the Swedish entry is slowly growing on me now that I've heard it a few times since the Semi-Final. (It's still no 'Rim Tim Tagi Dim' and definitely no 'Cha Cha Cha', but I am starting to enjoy it at last.) The Ukrainian entry has grown on me a lot and I find it really catchy now. The Greek entry has also grown on me a fair bit, and the Maltese entry is growing on me too.
OH HOLY SHIT I literally just mentioned 'Rim Tim Tagi Dim' and 'Cha Cha Cha' and now Baby Lasagna and Käärijä are getting ready for a duel onstage LOL ahhhhh I promise I did not know that was about to happen!! I always go into the Eurovision mostly blind!!!
OH NIIIIIICE this 'Eurodab' song is just as fast as I've been liking my dance music this year xDDD Baby Lasagna and Käärijä, what a combo! (Ahahaha niiiice, Käärijä mentioning Europapa 😁)
Hah. You wouldn't expect such a BIBG horn to produce such a mellow, soothing sound. Niiiiiice -‿-
I still think Nemo is an absolute champ for singing like an angel while balancing on the spinning platform last year!! :O And I yelled a bit when they continued singing beautifully while grabbing onto the ascending ladder. Wow. This song?! Powwwwwerful. ♪ I'm unexplainablllle ♪ Me too, sweetie, me too ❤
... Can't help but feel the all-song recap kinda did Poland dirty, though? Focused on one of the quietest moments from the whole song LOL, when surely one of its more powerful parts should've been highlighted? Yes I am ending all these non-questions with question marks because I am confused by this decision?
And now for the voting!
Jury:
- Wait WHAT how did we get 12 points from Italy?!?! 👀 Look at us on the left side of the leaderboard WHAAAAT?! IDK how long that'll last for LMAO but
- ... LMAO Ireland only gave us 2 points
- Czechia gave us 10 points?!?! 👀
- AWW YESSS WE GAVE 12 POINTS TO LATVIA ❤❤❤
- NGL though, with Austria up at the top, I really want them to win! Although I'll be happy with a Latvia win, even if that's less likely
- Haha, a lot of 'Friends & Neighbours' voting going on xD As usual!!
Public:
- I always feel sorry for the countries that get hardly any points...
- ONLY 2 POINTS FOR DENMARK, EXCUSE ME?!?!?!
- LMAO 0 points for us
- 0 points for the Swiss?!?! I know I said it didn't blow me away, but
AUSTRIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank fuck thank FUCK. I'm shaking ahahahahaha. I'm going to need some time to recover from this!! orz
A massive CONGRATULATIONS to Austria! JJ is absolutely phenomenal and this was such a well-deserved win. So happy to see extraordinary vocal prowess get the recognition it deserves for the second year running!!
Alright! It's off to Austria next year! WAHOO!!!
