It's the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest tonight - and, for the first time, the EUROfiasco Top 10 is being only unveiled on the day itself. It's been a challenge to keep it under wraps (and we've probably let slip some pretty clear indications about what might be in it) but the full 10 is unknown until now. We've just shown it to the assembled at EUROfiasco 2017 Putney, so here it is for you:
You can experience it via Apple Music and Spotify - and we also have some Outsiders here, too.
The voting was, as ever, done rigorously and fairly. There was, compared to last year, a fair amount of overlap between each of our Top 10s - only one song, in fact, didn't make the EUROfiasco Top 10 but featured in one of ours.
You can analyse the votes for yourself here.
As you can see we lost 4 great songs - well, 3 great songs and one totally epic one - on the way to the final. But that leaves 6 which are big fans of - and will be rooting for tonight alongside, of course, our Lucie Jones - who has a fantastic performance in a great position in the running order. Keeping everything crossed for a few hours time.
At the time of pixel going to queue Bulgaria feel like they have the momentum behind them - an admittedly flawless performance, and a second half running order slot. Maybe too late in the order? Who knows. With Belgium, Sweden and Bulgaria running together there is a total power 15 minutes towards the end of the show. Sofia? Brussels? Gothenburg?
Italy remain the bookies favourites right now but with a 9th-position draw, and a slightly underwhelming (vs. the original) stage performance could things be slipping away from them?
Thunder and lightning, it really is getting exciting.
Good luck everybody!
