The Spanish final was quite the embarrassment of riches compared to their Iberian neighbours Portugal who instead preferred 3 and a half hours of what can only be described as HATE CRIMES.
Bring back MARIO.
Would’ve also been behind this behind the Spanish entry
I didn’t even mind the awful MARIETTE coded entry.

No one:

Watching that, as much as I wanted it here I honestly don't think Glasgow would've had something comparable to all of that additional activity going on if we'd got it. If all of that was in Liverpool's bid I can see why they steamrolled everyone, it sounds amazing!

It ranges from the sublime to the ridiculous (not to mention the many things that straddle both, like the outdoor vogue ball on coronation day and the National Opera doing a Eurovision-themed performance), but there is so much happening it's a bit overwhelming to take all of it on board right now.
They haven't even announced the full line-up for EuroVillage yet. I can fairly confidently say at this point that I have never experienced a city throwing itself so much into the Eurovision hosting role as this, and it's not hard to see why it beat crappy old Glasgow and Manchester in the bidding.
