James says: "Here’s a tasty Mae Muller factoid. The staging isn't the most dynamic we've seen, but this is a proper banger. If she wins, though, I’ll eat Gustaph’s hat.” Very catchy and confident, it lacks the grandstanding vocal and eccentric leftfield weirdness to triumph at Eurovision, but hopefully the feisty Muller should avoid the ignominy of nul points, and her career will be fine whatever happens. “Brought to us by the management team behind Sam Ryder, this year’s UK entry is a sleek, efficient, charming revenge song that sounds machine built for the contemporary pop charts. Maybe all songs will be about writing songs one day. “I don’t know, my brain is turning to mush at this point. “This year’s Eurovision started with a song about writing a song and ends with another one, like a snake wrapped around itself, or maybe a shaggy dog chasing its own tail,” says Neil.

Ukraine – TVORCHI – Heart of Steel – 243.Norway – Alessandra – Queen of Kings – 268.

I'm thinking shampoo ads - with added unicorns. She might not have won, but Kirel will surely get a big commercial boost from this. There was floorwork, there was whiplash-inducing hairography, there was a big assisted flip, and there was classic Britney pouting. But once Noa Kirel gave up on singing altogether and hurled herself into a sexy-aggressive dance break, she wowed the crowd. Granted, the song wasn't a classic (something about unicorns and girl power and.no, I really couldn't tell you). But it wasn't quite enough: a more lukewarm jury vote meant they couldn't quite halt Sweden's inevitable march to victory.

The public vote saw Finland leap up to the top of the leaderboard, for a time. Led by Kaarija in his bumpy lime-green bolero jacket, and featuring a human centipede dance move, Cha Cha Cha was an undeniable earworm (and eyesore) which definitely won over the fans in the venue. If Loreen's winning effort was the classy side of Eurovision, then Finland represented its joyfully bonkers side. The night ran smoothly, anchored by a presenting team that included Graham Norton and new national treasure Hannah Waddingham. Still, at least there was plenty of praise for Liverpool's fantastic hosting efforts on behalf of Ukraine. The host nation - and this likeable pop number - deserved more love from voters. She finished second to bottom on the leaderboard, saved from total ignominy only by beating Germany. You can glue on eyes wool hair and felt feet if you want to make this into a little critter.In sharp contrast to Sweden's dazzling victory, the UK's Mae Muller had a very disappointing night. Working quickly before it spills out add another balloon over the top so that the first hole is covered by the second and do the same again covering up the second hole with the third balloon. Stretch one balloon over the ball of dough. The more you pack into one balloon, the less squishy it will be. Now take a ball of dough about 2 or 3 inch across. Take 3 balloons and cut most of the neck off each one so you just have the round bit of the balloon left. Remove from the pan and knead till smooth then allow to cool for about an hour. Mix dough ingredients together in a pan and heat until doughy, stirring all the time. And these squishy balloon balls are so easy to make at home! What you need They will have as much fun making this project as they will have playing with them afterwards. This is a fun project to do with the kids.
