Live from Peiraios 260, ERT rolled out the full “we’re taking Eurovision seriously this year, honest” package: moody blues (in the background, not the group!), tasteful golds and enough lens flare to make you reach for a tissue to wipe the TV (Not a euphemism!).
The running order was paced like a mini Eurovision – three minutes of chaos, three minutes of feelings, repeat – with the hosts gamely herding acts, ad breaks and voting reminders into something that just about resembled a television show which, of course, didn’t run to time – but why the hell would it?
Vocals mostly did what they were supposed to, which in semi‑final speak means nobody completely combusted, a couple of people over‑sang like their lives depended on it, and at least one act had a very intense relationship with their in‑ear monitors – or it could have been the sound on the stream!
Those songs and results then.
Because we know you’re really here for receipts (and keeping them in their back pocket for later… here’s how the night actually looked on paper, in performance order, the way the gods (and the running order draw) intended:
