:04:25. > :04:29.As you know, some countries are already qualified for the Grand
:04:29. > :04:38.Final. France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom, plus,
:04:38. > :04:41.of course, the host country. SCOTT MILLS: The big five are the
:04:41. > :04:51.biggest financial contributors to Eurovision so they have guaranteed
:04:51. > :04:52.
:04:52. > :04:56.places in the final, so we are in. 36 other countries compete for the
:04:56. > :05:03.20 remaining places. Today we will see 18 entries singing for your
:05:03. > :05:06.votes. Ten of them will make it to the Grand Final. On Thursday we
:05:06. > :05:13.will see the last 18 semi-finalists and, again, ten will advance to the
:05:13. > :05:16.Grand Final. This year the voting rules have changed slightly. And we
:05:16. > :05:23.are very glad that we have a lawyer here with us. She can explain the
:05:23. > :05:28.rules perfectly. I will, but later. Because this year, we will open the

:26:59. > :27:03.it a lot. Kings of Leon versus Teletubbies.
:27:03. > :27:13.Anna says, "Wow, San Marino is a country? You learn something new
:27:13. > :27:13.
:27:13. > :27:22.every day." Check that outfit! # Hit me with your mouse. #
:27:22. > :27:27.I really like this one. More cheese than a bag of Wotsits says somebody
:27:27. > :27:37.with no name - hush your mouth, this is a good one. Cyprus and La
:27:37. > :27:45.
:27:45. > :27:55.James says, "They have Animal on guitar and Captain Nemo on drums,
:27:55. > :28:00.
:28:00. > :28:04.it's a winner." Denmark. John T has been in touch. "I hope
:28:04. > :28:14.their oxygen tanks are at the side of the stage for this one." Of
:28:14. > :28:17.
:28:17. > :28:23.course there are! I reckon they are right divas!
:28:23. > :28:33.Jack says, "Torres has left Chelsea to represent Hungary." This is
:28:33. > :28:43.
:28:43. > :28:53.Compact Disco. Austria, Trackshittaz. "Where can I
:28:53. > :29:00.
:29:00. > :29:06.get some lights to illuminate my bum?" I'm jealous!
:29:06. > :29:16.Look, The Saturdays wearing bog roll covers! Thank you for that
:29:16. > :29:29.
:29:29. > :29:34."Well, they were better than Dustin the Turkey." Jedward for Ireland.
:29:34. > :29:43.Thank you for your comments tonight. They have been brilliant. Let's go
:29:43. > :29:53.over to Sara. Are we on? Yes! Only joking! I know
:29:53. > :29:55.
:29:55. > :29:59.we are. Thank you very much. The magic of Eurovision. Nikki, winner
:29:59. > :30:06.from last year. You created a storm in Dusseldorf last year? Yes.
:30:06. > :30:11.of this here, this magic is your fault! Yes, I like that fault!
:30:11. > :30:18.LAUGHTER Happy, crazy bubble - you have brought it to your home
:30:18. > :30:24.country. How does it feel? Really good. Especially like last year, it
:30:24. > :30:29.was 38,000 people in the audience and, you know, it was so exciting.
:30:29. > :30:32.It was the first time on such a big stage, me and Ell, it was
:30:32. > :30:36.incredible. How are the people feeling now? When they were waiting
:30:36. > :30:45.to go on and when you were waiting for the results, how do you feel?
:30:45. > :30:50.You know what, it is really scary. You worry about it. While we were
:30:50. > :30:55.waiting we were so nervous. At the same time, the adrenaline goes all
:30:55. > :30:59.over. It feels good. When you arrived back to Baku, to Azerbaijan,
:30:59. > :31:04.I hear the streets were lined with people dancing and cheering? Yeah.
:31:04. > :31:10.It was like almost the whole country was outside and cheering us.
:31:10. > :31:15.Everyone was so happy and excited. Even on the next day, like, for the
:31:15. > :31:20.first week after that victory, the people was, like, you know, they
:31:20. > :31:25.approaching someone saying, "Congratulations" to people they
:31:25. > :31:30.didn't know. Your kids must have been so proud. How old are they?
:31:30. > :31:35.older one is six and my younger one is going to be five in November.
:31:35. > :31:42.That is cool. Mummy is a superstar! They want to be a superstar as
:31:42. > :31:48.well! Give them a wave. Hello. So one of my favourite - thanks - one
:31:48. > :31:52.of my most favourite things is I get to go backstage and get under
:31:52. > :32:02.everyone's feet and cause trouble. Here it is. Here we are in the hub
:32:02. > :32:05.
:32:05. > :32:13.and bub of backstage. It is crazy stuff. Has a big heart in it!
:32:13. > :32:19.Please can I have a go at your drum. Three, four... Woah! Five lovely
:32:19. > :32:26.ladies from Russia who I have heard are big fans of the Hump! Watch
:32:26. > :32:35.this reaction. Do you like Engelbert Humperdinck? I can smell
:32:35. > :32:42.the sweet smell of Trackshittaz. How are you feeling? Great. We are
:32:42. > :32:49.waiting. Stretch our booties a bit. I don't want to know how you do
:32:49. > :32:59.that. Do you take a cheerleader with you everywhere you go? Got two
:32:59. > :33:06.in the one ear? One was boring so I added one in. Is that it?
:33:06. > :33:13.# Israel to play Eurovision. # # He's wearing two earrings
:33:13. > :33:19.# Because he thinks it's a sexy look! #
:33:19. > :33:29.Time I treated myself to a traditional Beveridge - oh, it's
:33:29. > :33:31.
:33:31. > :33:37.tea! -- beverage - oh, it's tea! We have good - good luck everybody - I
:33:37. > :33:45.think we might be getting Jedward on the phone. They have performed
:33:45. > :33:49.close to the waterline and they ended their spectacular performance
:33:49. > :33:54.by jumping under a fountain. We were hoping to get a shot of them.
:33:54. > :33:59.I can see them over by their table. Can you see the glinting silver of
:33:59. > :34:06.Jedward? They are over there. Can you see them? They were going to
:34:06. > :34:11.come over and give us a wave. They were wearing rather - we are all
:34:11. > :34:20.waving! I'm jumping up-and-down. Jedward! I love you! I'm your
:34:20. > :34:30.number one fan! Hi. Jedward, is that you? What am I doing?
:34:30. > :34:33.
:34:33. > :34:39.Jedward? Hello. Anyway... Yo-yo, Jedward! Well done. We are here.
:34:39. > :34:49.Did you enjoy it? You were brilliant. We are really wet right
:34:49. > :34:49.
:34:49. > :34:59.now. People want to know why your hair was floppy? They are having a
:34:59. > :34:59.
:34:59. > :35:08.dance. That was a magical TV moment(!) This Eurovision, for the
:35:08. > :35:16.UK, it is all about one special guy and his name is the Hump. Look out,
:35:16. > :35:26.old Humpy is back! His latest composition... Always a pleasure to
:35:26. > :35:30.have him on my show. Engelbert Humperdinck! It was after he
:35:30. > :35:36.changed his name he got his big break and he kept The Beatles off
:35:36. > :35:39.the number one spot with... # Please release me... #
:35:39. > :35:49.He followed this with a string of hits.
:35:49. > :35:54.# Was it too beautiful to last? # He established himself as the King
:35:54. > :36:03.of Romance. Thank you. The Golden Globe winner confirmed his cool
:36:03. > :36:08.credentials recording this for the Beavis and Butthead movie. He is
:36:08. > :36:12.the only performer to have stars on three walks of fame. What can I get
:36:12. > :36:17.you? A proud Leicester lad, he has not forgotten his roots and loves a
:36:17. > :36:25.game of darts and a pint in his own pub. That's a treble. That's what
:36:25. > :36:31.I'm going to get! I want to have a pint there! Thank
:36:31. > :36:37.the Lord and all that is holy, I have some back-up with Scott Mills.
:36:37. > :36:44.It's been exciting. Good luck. have done a lot of stairs. Yeah.
:36:45. > :36:49.is quite a way. Yeah. A bit of cardio! You are going to do - hi!
:36:49. > :36:56.I'm going to leave you. You have to plug your ear in to this. If you
:36:56. > :37:03.want to have a quick look at this? I have to unplug myself and Scott
:37:03. > :37:10.is going to plug his in. Do you want that? See you up stairs.
:37:10. > :37:16.Thanks. Hello. Are you Dr Eurovision? I am. Nice to meet you.
:37:17. > :37:25.You have an actual doctorate in Eurovision? I do. Anything I can
:37:25. > :37:30.ask you, you will know? I think so. Hopefully. Also we have Nikki, last
:37:30. > :37:37.year's winner. Hi. You are the reason it is happening tonight.
:37:37. > :37:40.know. It is so crazy. Julia, who is a reporter for SBS Australia. You
:37:40. > :37:44.were next door to us as we were commentating. What do you think
:37:44. > :37:48.about the show? It is an incredible show. Thank you for bringing it
:37:48. > :37:51.here. It is about time. Look, aren't we all confused by a lot of
:37:51. > :37:56.the stuff that's happened out there on that stage? Who is going to
:37:56. > :38:03.vote? What will they vote for? Who knows. I'm very excited. What was
:38:03. > :38:11.your stand-out moment tonight? favourite one? I think it's Jedward.
:38:11. > :38:16.Also I liked Soluna Samay from Denmark. Lots of them. I like the
:38:17. > :38:22.Russian grannies. San Marino? What a concept doing a song about
:38:22. > :38:27.social networking. Confused by the pole dancing. Look, good on them.
:38:27. > :38:30.Dr Paul, Dr Eurovision, what are your views on tonight? A good show?
:38:30. > :38:35.This year the standard is really high. There could be a few shocks.
:38:35. > :38:39.For me, the stand-out moment was the Russian grannies. The place
:38:39. > :38:45.erupted. Here is a thing - are they going to win? If they do, isn't
:38:45. > :38:49.that a bit of a shame? They might not get through this semifinal
:38:49. > :38:53.tonight? I think they will get through it. They will win the
:38:53. > :38:59.public vote. It depends on the juries. The song is not amazing. It
:38:59. > :39:04.is a nice back-story. It will be quite cute if they won. Julia, you
:39:04. > :39:10.were telling me you heard them sing a different song, right? Which? How
:39:10. > :39:15.do you mean? The grannies? I got in there and they don't have great
:39:15. > :39:19.English. I got their names. I wanted them to be eight women. Then
:39:19. > :39:24.I knew they had done a cover of Yesterday. They started singing it
:39:24. > :39:28.in English. They started singing it and it was magnificent. I kind of
:39:28. > :39:32.wished they were doing something more traditional and not having
:39:32. > :39:39.Party For Everybody. It is a young person's song. They moved me to
:39:39. > :39:46.tears. They were magic. Anyone you think didn't do so well tonight?
:39:46. > :39:52.Pardon? Who didn't do very well? I can't say. All of them are so
:39:52. > :39:57.different. I think each of them are so special. I can't say someone was
:39:57. > :40:02.really bad. All I can say is who was really good. Obviously, you had
:40:02. > :40:07.the secret ingredient - sorry it is so loud - you had the secret
:40:07. > :40:15.ingredient last year. Azerbaijan won the contest. What is the magic?
:40:15. > :40:19.What is it? What is it? Why? What is the magic ingredient? I think it
:40:19. > :40:24.is our love story. They believed in our story. That is why we won. That
:40:24. > :40:29.is what I think. That is what Ell think. He is over there. At the
:40:29. > :40:39.moment, there is a lot of drumming going on behind us. I hope you can
:40:39. > :40:44.still hear me. Keep your comments coming in. We are on Twitter, or on
:40:44. > :40:51.Facebook. You can also print off your score cards for Thursday. We
:40:51. > :41:00.will be doing this again. The final is on Saturday, obviously, on BBC
:41:00. > :41:04.One. How do you think Baku has taken to this tonight? There were
:41:04. > :41:10.some worries about it? They have thrown themselves into this. They
:41:10. > :41:15.built this arena for Eurovision in less than a year. It was chaotic
:41:15. > :41:24.last week. Overall, they have done well. It is a slick show. Now last
:41:24. > :41:27.week, Sara went to catch up with some of the other big, big
:41:27. > :41:37.contestants, people they are expecting to do well on Saturday
:41:37. > :41:38.
:41:38. > :41:43.night. She met one of them. Here I am with the representative for
:41:43. > :41:46.Sweden. You have been one of the big favourites from day one?
:41:46. > :41:50.little pressure. To me, it is not about winning, it is about
:41:50. > :41:54.presenting something and uniting people. That is what we do with
:41:55. > :41:59.music. Have you seen the Russian grandmas? I have met them. They are
:41:59. > :42:08.cool. They don't really care about all this circus. They like to sing
:42:08. > :42:13.and that is what they do. The rest is just like OK. That was Sara.
:42:13. > :42:17.Look who it is, Italy's entry. Hello. Hello. Good evening. Can you
:42:17. > :42:23.hear me? I can. Even though there are lots of drums. This is the
:42:23. > :42:28.loudest thing ever! It is also a million degrees in here! I am not
:42:28. > :42:32.sweating as much as you! I have had to run up five staircases! We are
:42:32. > :42:36.getting a lot of messages on Facebook and Twitter. You are one
:42:36. > :42:41.of the favourites to win. At the moment, you are favourite. That
:42:41. > :42:45.must feel like a lot of pressure? Really? Yes, as of today. I try not
:42:45. > :42:49.to think about the competition. I know it's a competition. When I'm
:42:49. > :42:56.up there, I just have fun. I have so many people in front of me. When
:42:56. > :43:00.I sing, I'm happy. Whatever will be will be. Now, obviously, last year,
:43:00. > :43:06.after a long time, Italy haven't been in the competition for ten
:43:06. > :43:16.years, they kind of lost interest! Yes. Last year, they came second.
:43:16. > :43:16.
:43:16. > :43:23.That must ramp up the pressure for you? No, I was really happy, plus I
:43:23. > :43:29.loved the piano player. I was there! Come on! No, it is great. It
:43:29. > :43:34.was a super, super, you know, a good ending. Second. Any favourites
:43:34. > :43:39.tonight? Actually, I heard the girl from Albania. She has such a great
:43:39. > :43:47.voice. That scared me? Me, too. I don't know what she was wearing
:43:47. > :43:53.sort of a weird thing. She had her hair on her dress! I know. That was
:43:53. > :43:59.spooky. Her voice is very - it goes so high. That was difficult. Then
:43:59. > :44:04.music is not only about technical, it is about soft and hard. How long
:44:04. > :44:11.have you been in Baku? Three days. How are you finding it? Surprising.
:44:11. > :44:21.I didn't expect all this. Very modern, but then also, you know,
:44:21. > :44:22.
:44:22. > :44:28.very rich, very poor, so very different and not really equal. The
:44:28. > :44:33.richest - help me out. If I can hear what you were saying I would
:44:33. > :44:37.help you! She is talking and I'm going yeah, yeah. It is an amazing
:44:37. > :44:45.land. Still, you know, they are getting there. They are making a
:44:45. > :44:50.lot of things. Now, the other day on the red carpet, Sara interviewed
:44:50. > :44:58.you. You said something about how before you go on stage you have to
:44:58. > :45:05.smack someone's bottom. Did you make that up? I always do that.
:45:05. > :45:09.Who's? My musicians, they go on stage before me. They introduce me.
:45:09. > :45:15.They walk and I do this - I slap them. How does that help? I don't
:45:15. > :45:23.know. It is just, you know, a lucky charm. If you want, can I do it
:45:23. > :45:28.with you? Yeah, go for it! See, you might win now! Fingers... I know a
:45:28. > :45:33.lot of people are watching at home in the UK having Eurovision parties.
:45:33. > :45:38.Hello. A lot of gay bars have us on tonight. Do you have a message for
:45:38. > :45:44.the gays that might be watching? Yes, I love them so much. Also in
:45:44. > :45:50.Italy, they call me like a gay, they say I'm a gay icon. I can
:45:50. > :45:57.imagine. Thank you. Obviously, you are going to be on the stage in a
:45:57. > :46:03.matter of days. What will you be thinking and what will be your pre-
:46:03. > :46:12.routine ritual? How do you - do you have anything on your rider? What
:46:12. > :46:22.do you demand? It's probably like oh... Exactly. You don't ask for
:46:22. > :46:26.anything in particular? I just drink a Chinese tea and I go!
:46:26. > :46:31.Listen, it is fabulous talking to you tonight. Thank you. Thank you
:46:31. > :46:37.for being part of the first semifinal on BBC Three in boiling-
:46:37. > :46:43.hot Baku! What are your plans for tomorrow? I'm starting to sweat.
:46:43. > :46:48.Tomorrow, I will go to ancient Baku. OK. That was the loudest interval
:46:48. > :46:52.act in the history of Eurovision. know. We were talking but I got you.
:46:52. > :46:56.We got it. The best of luck for Saturday. Thank you very much for
:46:56. > :47:06.joining us. Thank you. Hopefully, we should be able to say goodbye to
:47:06. > :47:09.
:47:09. > :47:19.Sara now. SARA COX: Hello, Scott. Well done
:47:19. > :47:30.
