@RyanSoapKing25 But you’re convinced they’ve caught an STI…?

[Peter Dunwoody @peter89d]

@RyanSoapKing25 Why would she need to take them anywhere, they're basically adults.

@lionceccah Is the cultural impact in the room with us right now?

[Peter Dunwoody @peter89d]

@Earl___________ @ich_conor SADE IS A GROUP?!

[Peter Dunwoody @peter89d]

@SchlagerKaty I’d imagine you would, yes.

[Peter Dunwoody @peter89d]

@SchlagerKaty Or “since February” is just shorthand for “since UMK”

[Peter Dunwoody @peter89d]

@durianelectra @JackTheFact29 It wasn’t rejected. It was withdrawn when the possibility to represent Austria without going through a NF came up.

[Peter Dunwoody @peter89d]

@ArronJustMight @eurovanya I’m sure the person who was on the jury knows that…

[Peter Dunwoody @peter89d]

@Coda_ESC I'd imagine 95% of the audience would have assumed she was playing live anyway. Rybak certainly wasn't marked down by anyone for not playing live. It will only serve to make the other musicians look slightly weaker by comparison, at a push.

[Peter Dunwoody @peter89d]

@JamesMakesStuff I would imagine most of the other musicians understand why the violin was granted permission. Now if, say, Luxembourg had asked to play her violin live and was denied then that’s a different story.

[Peter Dunwoody @peter89d]

@AfterLiverpool Because you can literally just mic a violin up like you would with a vocal and off you go.

[Peter Dunwoody @peter89d]

@dolphin_dane I guess the deciding factor is whether it needs to be plugged in or can just be mic’ed up like a vocal would be. Finland and last year’s Italian perf fall into the second category. I don’t think Veronica would be granted as it falls into the first.

[Peter Dunwoody @peter89d]

@SchlagerKaty We did just have a Swedish-hosted contest that heavily featured their past winners so I get it if they wanted to go in a different direction (not that the actual line-up is much more inspired).

[Peter Dunwoody @peter89d]

@AmazingSMP @regina_wtf @Misterk511 No that 1 person will be Atvara herself, and presumably there’s nothing happening that requires anything to be moved around during the performance. Obviously the army of stage hands readying the stage between performances don’t count towards this.

[Peter Dunwoody @peter89d]

@SchlagerKaty Do you know how betting works?

[Peter Dunwoody @peter89d]

@Bensvision OK, anything else? "Significant" doing a hell of a lot of work if not...

[Peter Dunwoody @peter89d]

@TheTuftandQuiff It's rare but they have done it a few times in the past. Off the top of my head they had Forever Young for Lola's funeral and Lonely This Christmas on Nigel's Christmas episode. I think Ronnie and Roxy had You Got The Love too.

[Peter Dunwoody @peter89d]

@Bougainvillefan Because a couple of unfortunate cracks don't make a bad singer or a bad vocal performance.

[Peter Dunwoody @peter89d]

@gerry_lts Sorry so just to be clear, giving Albania a high score is evidence of Wiwi's [checks notes] "Nordic bias?"
