Hey there, dear 26 Eurovision finalists, it’s time to face the televote! What are you going to do to make us vote for you?

In which “hey, don’t I know you from somewhere?” isn’t a pick-up line.

In which Shi ponders about the auto finalists and the difference between “not trying to win” and “trying not to win”.

In which Shi’s sleep deprivation and overthinking tendencies have a date with the predictions for semi 2.

In which Shi overthinks the principles of effective Eurovision storytelling through stagings.

The rehearsals of the first semi are (almost) done, which means it’s “will they, won’t they” time inside Shi’s brain! Scary times indeed.
