  1. If #KoreasNextWave chose Sojeong Shim (심소정), it would've been an easy 12 points from the #Philippines. They really missed this one.

    I think the Koreans and ENA still has no idea how to strategized. Hey, we voted for Sojeong Shim (심소정), we tried to help you.

  2. Republic of Korea: JUNHEE will fly to Bangkok for Eurovision Asia 2026

  3. Eurovision is doing the selection for Korea and I can't even run the vote site on any Chromium browser.

    Vivaldi and Microsoft Edge crashes.

    It does not crash on Safari, nor does it crash on Firefox.

    Korea's Next Wave 🇰🇷 - Eurovis...

  10. I can be fairly accused of having made jokes and laughing at other's japes about the Eurovision Song Contest.
    But today, as a USian, I must keep my lips sealed in response to anything people in Europe or the rest of the world might have to say about Sunday's abomination on the White House lawn.
    USians can look forward now -- I fully expect -- to Trump monetizing his presidency with live broadcasts of him posting on social media while seated on a toilet.
    His followers would lap it up.
    And he'd laugh all the way to the bank.

  11. In #GreaterManchester, concern is growing that there may not be a proper #byelection in #Makerfield.

    Four parties have now named their candidates, but so far there has been no statement from either #LordBuckethead nor #CountBinface.

    Buckethead has been quiet for some time, but #Binface recently nominated himself for #Eurovision. There are now fears that he won't be rested in time for the by-election.

  13. Taking Stock: 26 Little Snapshots of My Life and the Blogging World

    Taking Stock‘ is a fun, clever way to capture what’s happening in your life right now, using each letter of the alphabet as a prompt. I’m not sure how long this idea has been around, but when I read Debbie’s post on her blog, Deb’s World, it instantly caught my imagination, and I knew I had to give it a try myself.

    In her latest ‘Taking Stock’ post, Debbie says she likes to pause every few months to take stock of the little things in her life, as they are sometimes the best bits. I agree!

    To answer the prompts, she likes to give herself a few moments to process the words and avoid overthinking them. She then finds suitable photos to add. Debbie does these posts every 3-4 months.

    Here goes – my first ‘Taking Stock’ post.

    Admiring: Those bloggers who followed me by changing their blog’s theme to a Block theme. I haven’t come across anyone yet who has reverted to a Classic theme. Well done to the bloggers who have made the switch.

    https://hughsviewsandnews.com/2026/04/20/youre-not-stuck-the-surprising-power-of-finally-changing-your-blog-theme/

    Believing in myself: Because of my dyslexia, I don’t usually accept beta-reading offers. But when Marsha Ingrao told me her book was about blogging, I jumped at the chance to beta-read it. It boosted my confidence big time. Thank you, Marsha.

    Curious by: I’ve seen some great cloud formations recently. I love that all my photos and information are stored in the clouds. But what happens when it rains?

    Is this where all my photos are stored?

    Decluttering: I love decluttering and have been doing a lot of it over the last few months. It leaves me feeling calm and positive. And look at all that free space! Wow! Not even my blog has escaped. Do you enjoy decluttering?

    Excited by: It’s that time of year again. The Eurovision Song Contest takes place on 16 May in Vienna. I’m not sure about the United Kingdom’s entry this year. It’s different, and different can deliver good results, but how many points would you give it?

    https://youtu.be/niMKvJ-Itq8?si=ySzj5mWS4W0S_MNJ&t=7

    Flabbergasted: I’ve finally convinced myself I don’t need to keep up with fashion trends after seeing this. How do they sit down in some of those outfits?

    https://youtu.be/zXCHO7lpCfQ?si=WN71VgrLLVch3Xzn

    Grateful for outdoor space. I’m not green-fingered. Thankfully, I have a partner who is.

    Horrified by the recent election results in parts of the UK. What on earth is going on? Some parts of society seem to want to go back to the 1930s.

    Ironing: My best ideas for blog posts and flash fiction come to me when I’m standing in front of an ironing board. That’s why I enjoy ironing. Where do you get your best ideas?

    Juggling time between blogging and life can be difficult. I see bloggers struggling with it all the time. Finding the perfect balance can be challenging, but it can be done. Step back, and you’ll soon see how to do it.

    Kindness: This quote struck a chord when I saw it on Bluesky recently. If only all humans were like this. Please be kind to one another.

    Listening to music, I used to play when I was a DJ in various pubs and nightclubs in London, where I loved filling dance floors. It was an achievement I loved. Now, some of that music helps me write. Do you have a music playlist?

    Mood: I’ve always been a positive person. The glass is always half full. Don’t let others drag you down with their negativity. They aren’t worth your time.

    Noticing: The nights. They are getting much shorter in the UK. On June 21st, the sun doesn’t set where I live until 21:37, so we will have over 18 hours of daylight. I still find it strange to go to bed when it’s not pitch dark.

    Ordering less online: It’s convenient, but when I do go to the local high street and see how many shops are vacant, it makes me feel that I have been part of the problem. Support your local high street shops.

    Puzzled by: I’m still trying to work out why WordPress changed the name of ‘Reusable Blocks’ to ‘Patterns’. It doesn’t make sense. If you’re still using the Classic editor, you won’t have any idea what I’m talking about.

    Questioning bloggers: I’m delighted with the response to the questions I asked in my previous post. The main question was ‘How often should you publish blog posts?’ The responses make interesting reading and have many bloggers thinking. Why not join them?

    https://hughsviewsandnews.com/2026/05/05/how-often-should-you-publish-blog-posts-real-questions-for-real-bloggers/

    Reading: I’m reading my first book of 2026. Dyslexia means I prefer to watch rather than read, but this book has sparked my interest, especially when I spotted myself on the front cover. It’s non-fiction, fascinating, with some humour thrown in. What are you reading?

    Still pleased that I started cutting my own hair in 2013. The hair clippers cost me £49.99. When a barber last cut my hair that year, it cost £7.50. Now that’s what I call a satisfying cost saving. Do you cut your own hair?

    Thankful to be able to smile again after having two front teeth replaced with implants. The two offending teeth were removed last July. It’s been a long wait for the bone to fill the gaps and grow around the implant sockets. Now I can share smiles with others again.

    Understanding that not everyone will agree with me. But please try to disagree in a professional and friendly manner.

    Very thankful that bloggers continue to share my blog posts. Whether it’s on social media, by linking to one of my posts, or simply by mentioning me by name, I’m always delighted when people tell me that reading one of my posts has helped.

    Wondering how I won a pair of boxer shorts in a competition I entered to win a year’s supply of teabags. But I guess I should be pleased to have won something. Have you won anything recently?

    eXtra special: Yeah, I cheated here, as I couldn’t think of anything that begins with the letter X. As Debbie says in her post, ‘don’t overthink it!’ So here’s a photo of Austin, who is eXtra special to me.

    Yearning for you to read my latest story for the Story Chat feature on Marsha’s blog. Honestly, it’s very different from what I usually write and from the other stories I’ve written for Story Chat. It goes live in September.

    Zooming in on how good it is to be part of the writing world, given that I have dyslexia. Your support and encouragement have been a big part of the journey. Thank you!

    As you can see, this little “Taking Stock” exercise has given me plenty to think about, smile about, and even scratch my head over. I’d love to hear how life is looking from where you are right now. Which of my answers resonated with you most? If you picked just one prompt from this list—Admiring, Believing, Decluttering, Grateful, Wondering, or any of the others, what would your answer be today?

    My thanks to Debbie at Deb’s World for the inspiration to write this post.

  14. Musical Interlude: A random thought brought this wonderful song to mind...a Spanish-language hit from the 70s, it's a passionate love song declaring that the subject is all that gives the singer life and hope. It's a gloriously primal song...but just a damn good song even if you don't understand the words.

    "Eres Tú," performed by Mocedades.

  15. SVTplayllä on kiva #dokkari KAJ och jag.

    Ruotsalaisnäyttelijä #EricStern inhosi ensin Bara bada bastua, mutta oli pian aivan KAJ'n pauloissa; suorastaan pakkomielteinen. Ja niinpä hän päätti matkustaa Vöyrille tutustumaan bändin alkuun. #KAJ toimii oppaana.

  16. #Israel voitti myös semifinaalinsa.

    eurovision.tv/event/basel-2025

    Tutkija Timo R. Stewartin mielestä tämä(kin) johtuu siitä, että Israelin / Israelista kertovaan disinformaatioon uskotaan.

    hs.fi/politiikka/art-200001124

    Euroviisukuplan mielestä se suurin shokkiputoaja, #Belgia, jäi oman semifinaalinsa toka vikaksi.

  17. 1/2 Euroviisujen lehdistöpolli on juuri julkaistu.

    Toimittajien mielestä #Suomi ei voita. Ei Erika Vikmanin, eikä #KAJ'n muodossa.

    Toimittajien aivan selvä voittaja on #Ranska ja #Louane.

    Mutta: #ErikaVikman pesee KAJ'n ja tulee toiseksi, KAJ'n tullessa kolmanneksi.

    The press poll for Grand Final of #Eurovision has just been released:

    Näkee, etteivät he itse ihan uskoneet läpimenoonsa, kun vedonlyöntilafkat pitäneet heitä epätodennäköisenä läpimenijänä, ja sen myötä iso osa #Viisut-faneja.

    Ja sitten vielä bonuksena, kun näkee, miten yläreunassa Norjan #KyleAlessandro on hänkin onnellinen ja juhlii, että #VAEB meni läpi <3!

  19. 7/7 Personally - not as an objective observer - I would've like to see some of many who really can sing in the final instead of Estonia, because the vocals were pretty bad. But yet again, #TommyCash already had a big fanbase, and the concept with all it's silliness speaks to many.

    And I'm from #Finland, and we love our neigbours, #Estonia, here.

    End of ranting.

    P.S: #Israel shouldn't be participating!

  20. 6/X And then #Portugal; a pretty mainstream pop / soft rock song performed by an actual band in the middle of all the EDM, falsetto voices, strobe lights, pyro and fireworks.

    Yes, it is more like an album song, than a single, but it still is mainstream, and peaks out in between all "the noise" and flashing.

    #ESC25 #ESC2025 #Eurovision25 #ESC #Eurovision2025 #Eurovision #Euroviisut #Viisut

  21. 5/X And the song of #VAEB / #Iceland speaks not just to younger generations of today, but also to many who were young in the '90's and '00.

    #SanMarino - a mainstream song, already known by many before the #ESC because of #SanRemo, and by an artist, that has had a fanbase around the world for like 3 decades. Absolutely no surprise there, even if #GabryPonte is a DJ and broke "the curse" in that.

    #ESC25 #ESC2025 #Eurovision25 #Eurovision2025 #Eurovision #Euroviisut #Viisut #music

  22. 4/X In my mind #Cyprus was a NQ as well, but closer to qualify as #Belgium was.

    When it comes to so called shock qualifiers, #Iceland, #SanMarino and #Portugal, I don't consider them as such.

    #VAEB is talented in the social medias, and has gain a lot of symphatisers because of their wholesome personalities and positive energy.

    #ESC25 #ESC2025 #Eurovision25 #ESC #Eurovision2025 #Eurovision #Euroviisut #Viisut

  23. 3/X No matter how innovative and great a staging is, if the song doesn't speak to the general public, of which most has a quite mainstream taste in #music, the artist just doesn't qualify.

    Rave music is not mainstream - I did not have #Belgium as a qualifier in any point. Yes, I am sad that #RedSebastian didn't get a qualifying as a b-day present, but it is how it is.

  28. @Bossito 1 million? Sheesh!

    I have this sinking feeling #Loreen will not win the televote, but then the #eurovision jurors will neatly correct that, though their impact is reduced from years gone by.

    It's not that it's a bad song or anything, but the media hype is a bit confusing.

    Even if you're going for the powerful female vocal performance with catchy big song thing, #Norway's #Alessandra was pretty convincing.
