Eurovision 2022

[Sir Bagalot]

Turin, Italy this year

Of course we go straight to the final as one of the "Big Five".

40 Countries this year after Russia were excluded.

Seems to be a week earlier with the final on 14th May.

Sam Ryder with Space Man is the UK Entry

I think this year it will be a case of who's going to come second

Just to put a rumour to bed, whoever comes 2nd will not be automatically hosting next year.

A few countries have already put their names forward for hosting should Ukraine win.

Personally I believe EV will go to the runners up and ask them if them want to host.

Worldwide, we are second favourites to win this year

Anyway, on with the show, Enjoy
