18:30The semi-finals were determined purely by public vote, but the Grand Final retains a jury plus public vote system. When the last song has played – Mae Muller’s I Wrote a Song – voting will open. Then the public votes are added to each song in turn, starting with the song lying in 26th place. It makes it incredibly nail-biting, and luckily for me, almost impossible to live blog coherently. The only thing I have ever live blogged that goes faster than the Eurovision vote is trying to cover the luge at the Winter Olympics.
