Live Blog: Monday 1 May

Welcome to the Eurovision.tv Live Blog for Monday 1 May (Day 2).

🇷🇴 Romania takes to the stage…

So this feels VERY different from the Romanian national finals, staging-wise - Theodor is looking sharp in a bright yellow shorts suit - we saw him backstage earlier, and it looked a lot like he was wearing Pikachu socks - we'll try to obtain photo evidence. 

This is completely different D.G.T. (Off and On) from the recorded version - the first half is stripped-back acoustic, with just Theodor and his guitar and powerful voice. The second half picks up the rock tempo to a performance that feels much more familiar, with Theodor bringing ALL the sass and energy, as well as a bonus dancer for a dramatic finish. NOT what we were expecting today, but definitely one we won't forget.
