Yes, here's the news here, unless I'm reading it wrong https://eurovision.tv/story/big-five-sweden-perform-semi-finalsOn Saturday 11 May, voting will open just before the first song is performed. Viewers at home will be able to cast their votes as the songs are performed, rather than waiting until all entries have been presented, as has been the case since public voting was introduced in 1997 (except in 2010 and 2011 when voting also began at the start of the show).Additionally, fans in non-participating countries (Rest of The World) will now have nearly 24 hours to vote for their favourite songs before each of the live shows begin. Online voting will open for the Rest of The World immediately after the second dress rehearsal for each Semi-Final and Grand Final has finished the previous night, and will stay open until the live shows begin.

So it looks like people can vote before as soon as the first performance starts, so yes before they've finished performing. And the ROTW can actually vote before the performance starts.  (I'm not clear if they can continue to vote after the performance starts, I presume so).

I don't see how you can vote before seeing the performances. What if, god forbid, a performer gets taken ill and the performance never even happens? Or somebody ends up just being phenomenal on the night, unexpectedly?

At least with the changes with the big five, we'll have seen all the performances before the final if we want to, so will have something to base the votes on. And I suppose the juries vote on a different performance anyway (i.e. the jury show, not the actual Eurovision final show), so maybe this isn't so different and we are really being invited to vote on the semi-final performances again?

Yes, it might be just the way Disney does things. This happened recently with some music that was released at midnight: I was in a chat with people from three different European time zones, so we heard it at different times. But the people in the first time zone (getting  it at my 10pm) could have played it to us before it was released.

I'm not terribly bothered about spoilers, but I know some people are! And it will be a worse on a day when people can't avoid the media if they're wanting to keep up with Eurovision! I suppose the only option will be to watch as early as you can!

I can definitely see how that term could be misread (oh boy). I wonder what that will be. Will we get to hear the Doctor sing? I guess we'll find out closer to the actual date.

I think a lot of streaming series are released at midnight on the date they are set to premiere in whatever country you are in because that's the date that it starts. Though, come to think of it, I remember a show I was following on a weekly release on Netflix last year would have episode become available at 4pm in my timezone, so maybe that's not the only way of doing it. But maybe Disney+ does the midnight thing.

That's weird. They're opening the voting for the rest of the world before the show even starts? Or do they mean you can vote before everyone has finished performing? If it's the latter, that could potentially privilege who ever performs in the first half.
