:37:12. > :37:22.a very talented panel. Loreen. you. Last year's winner. Also Dr
:37:22. > :37:30.Eurovision. Hi.And Julia Zemiro. Loreen, a stand-out performance for
:37:30. > :37:32.tonight? Who did you enjoy? Anouk. The Netherlands. Yes.Some people
:37:32. > :37:38.just from reading what people were saying on social media, some people
:37:38. > :37:42.didn't really get it, they felt it was out of place? Really?Yes.
:37:42. > :37:48.she's done it differently. She is not like the rest of the people
:37:48. > :37:56.here. It is why I like it. She is very emotional. Love it. I hear you
:37:56. > :38:02.can do a line from the song as well. # Birds they... #
:38:02. > :38:07.You can't sing with this song. It is a bit difficult. Paul, what
:38:07. > :38:11.are your thoughts on tonight? slick show tonight from Sweden.
:38:11. > :38:17.There is going to be a few surprises. Not everyone can go
:38:17. > :38:21.through. Ukraine and Russia are seen as big favourites. Maybe they will
:38:21. > :38:25.cancel each other out. As Loreen said, Netherlands is a big
:38:25. > :38:33.favourite. It is also a country that's not qualified since 2004.
:38:33. > :38:38.They are up against it tonight. have had a tough time of it. What
:38:38. > :38:41.would it mean for some of the countries to qualify tonight?
:38:41. > :38:45.Netherlands are an old school Eurovision country. It would mean a
:38:45. > :38:51.lot to them to qualify. For Montenegro, they have never
:38:51. > :39:01.qualified, it would be a big deal for them. Julia, who are you liking?
:39:01. > :39:08.
:39:08. > :39:12.I have to go for Anouk as well. She was doing what she loves. That is
:39:12. > :39:17.what won Loreen the competition last year. She was herself. So is Anouk.
:39:18. > :39:21.Hopefully, that will ring true. I love it. Were there any
:39:21. > :39:27.disappointments for anyone tonight? We wouldn't say if there was, would
:39:27. > :39:33.we? I would like you to? I love Belarus. It's a bit trashy. It was a
:39:33. > :39:36.bit messy on stage. Also, there is a lot of political questions about
:39:36. > :39:43.Belarus's participation in Eurovision. It is meant to be a song
:39:43. > :39:48.contest. There are issues with human rights. It is a tricky area. I have
:39:48. > :39:52.an issue with product placement. The butterfly in the Ukraine. That is
:39:52. > :39:57.the most blatant use of product placement I have ever seen! That is
:39:57. > :40:01.not going to get you votes. Everyone is talking about the Ukraine
:40:01. > :40:05.staging. Did you see it with the giant? I haven't seen it.It is
:40:05. > :40:14.great. You have missed something good there, Loreen. You can tell us
:40:14. > :40:20.about it, Dr Eurovision. It is a strange way to carry a singer on. I
:40:20. > :40:24.thought it was hilarious when I first saw it. They are having - he's
:40:24. > :40:31.not got great health and they are having a laugh at his expense. He is
:40:31. > :40:35.doing it willingly. He is a guy who has made a living being the tallest
:40:35. > :40:40.man in America. There is something uncomfortable about laughing at
:40:40. > :40:45.people. He puts her on that stump so you can't see the difference in how
:40:45. > :40:50.tall he is compared to her? Someone had to put her there. I interviewed
:40:50. > :40:55.him and he was the most delightful guy and he told me about his
:40:55. > :41:03.upbringing in America and he used to work in McDonald's as a teenager.
:41:03. > :41:11.She had to get up on that thing in that dress. Will he be the go-to
:41:11. > :41:17.giant now? It was a very good song. He has side 24 feet. That is quite
:41:17. > :41:24.big. Now, everyone's favourite, the bookies' favourite is Denmark. What
:41:24. > :41:29.are we thinking? I suppose south Sweden is like north Denmark. So
:41:29. > :41:34.they are all sort of sticking together. Obviously, barefoot, it
:41:34. > :41:38.worked for you last year. Thinking it might - I don't know. Yeah, I
:41:38. > :41:48.don't feel the heart in it. It ticks all the boxes. I don't like the
:41:48. > :41:49.
:41:49. > :41:55.shower, the golden shower at the end. Only because it looks like it's
:41:55. > :42:01.one and it -- won and it's not won. Have Russia and the Ukraine got it
:42:01. > :42:04.sewn up tonight? They will qualify. Neither of them have ever missed a
:42:04. > :42:09.final. They know how to stage a song. They have been drawn together.
:42:09. > :42:13.This year, the running order has been fixed. So it is interesting
:42:13. > :42:18.they have done that. The Netherlands, which is so classy,
:42:18. > :42:26.they came straight after it. They will qualify. Everyone's favourite
:42:26. > :42:34.costume of the night? Oh, God, that has to be - I like Denmark.
:42:34. > :42:41.Ukraine's dress was fabulous. liked yours in the opening. The
:42:41. > :42:44.Gravity song. That was gorgeous. Thanks, guys. Back to Ana. For the
:42:44. > :42:51.tribute to our Northern Lights. This feels like a perfect opportunity for
:42:51. > :42:55.you to get to know our country a bit more. Who could be more suited for
:42:55. > :43:05.this than the Europe ian broadcasting union's spokesperson,
:43:05. > :43:09.
:43:09. > :43:16.Lynda Woodruff? My name is Lynda Woodruff. I'm the spokesperson for
:43:16. > :43:22.the European Broadcasting Union. It was the song Euphoria with the
:43:22. > :43:28.amazing Loreen. That brought the contest back to Sweden. A country
:43:28. > :43:38.that's given the world so many wonderful things. For example,
:43:38. > :43:39.
:43:39. > :43:43.Loreen, of course! And... Snow! The EBU have asked me to take you on a
:43:43. > :43:51.tour of this amazing country. Tonight, I have travelled up north,
:43:51. > :43:57.or as Loreen would say, # We're going up, up, up. #
:43:57. > :44:05.I have now reached one of the northernmost parts in Sweden. I'm
:44:05. > :44:10.standing here with the Mayor of this amazing town, Jukkasjarvi. Did I
:44:10. > :44:19.pronounce that right? No!In this town, I have decided to spend the
:44:19. > :44:29.night, the Norland way. The bedrooms can't be made of ice? They are.But
:44:29. > :44:42.
:44:42. > :44:49.- ah, what a wonderful place! My God! Oh, oh! It's quite cosy. I have
:44:49. > :44:57.been given a bedtime snack, amazing reindeer chips. I will save them for
:44:57. > :45:07.later. Tomorrow, they have arranged for me to experience the calm nature
:45:07. > :45:17.
:45:17. > :45:27.of Norland on a relaxing dog sleigh ride. Oh my God! Why can't Cyprus
:45:27. > :45:43.
:45:43. > :45:48.win the Eurovision? the final. On Thursday, another ten
:45:48. > :45:53.lucky winners will join them. In addition to that, six contestants
:45:53. > :46:03.are already qualified. I'm talking about France, Spain, Germany, Italy
:46:03. > :46:03.
:46:03. > :46:11.and the United Kingdom, plus, of course, last year's winner, Sweden.
:46:11. > :46:15.Here we are taking a tour through the big five. Sweden. First up we

:49:50. > :49:55.the Almighty God, the man upstairs, Mr Jon Ola Sand, the Executive

:50:39. > :50:49.to the final on Saturday. The countries will be revealed in a
:50:49. > :51:05.
:51:05. > :51:09.random order. So, let's reveal the excited, ladies and gentlemen, that
:51:09. > :51:18.Moldova got in. That was my favourite staging of the night. They
:51:18. > :51:27.have qualified six times in seven attempts. Our second finalist is
:51:27. > :51:37.Lithuania. Wow! That I have to say is a bit of a shock. I know Scott is
:51:37. > :51:38.
:51:38. > :51:42.going to be really excited about this one. Our third finalist tonight
:51:42. > :51:46.is Ireland. Not a surprise. That was a strong showing from Ireland. They
:51:46. > :51:56.have won the contest more than any other country. Great showing,
:51:56. > :52:03.
:52:04. > :52:07.Ireland. Our fourth finalist is Estonia. Estonia. They have only
:52:07. > :52:16.qualified three times in nine attempts. They have only been
:52:16. > :52:20.successful 33% of the time. Congratulations Estonia. Our fifth
:52:20. > :52:26.finalist of this evening is... are still waiting on Russia,
:52:26. > :52:32.Ukraine, Netherlands, Montenegro. Belarus. Belarus made it in! They
:52:32. > :52:42.have only qualified twice in nine attempts. There she is, bouncing
:52:42. > :52:50.up-and-down in a fringy! Look at her. She is excited! Our sixth
:52:50. > :52:58.finalist... If Russia and the Ukraine qualify, we have six...
:52:58. > :53:06.Denmark. Denmark got in! Not much of a shock either. That was a fans'
:53:06. > :53:16.favourite here. We have got four left, ladies and gentlemen. Who is
:53:16. > :53:16.
:53:16. > :53:26.it going to be? The seventh finalist is Russia. Russia made it in. All
:53:26. > :53:26.
:53:26. > :53:32.right! They have a 100% success rate. They have always qualified.
:53:32. > :53:37.now know the first seven countries that have made it so far. However,
:53:37. > :53:47.there are nine performers left, but only three tickets remain. That's
:53:47. > :53:59.
:53:59. > :54:05.right. Only three. Come on! Montenegro! The eighth finalist is
:54:05. > :54:15.Belgium. Belgium. Very nice. Very nice. They have only qualified once
:54:15. > :54:15.
:54:15. > :54:17.in eight attempts. So good luck to Roberto Bellarosa. I would like to
:54:17. > :54:27.pinch your cheeks! Two left, ladies and gentlemen. Who is it going to
:54:27. > :54:52.
:54:52. > :54:57.be? The ninth finalist is Ukraine! Ukraine. Ukraine in the final. That
:54:57. > :55:02.is all six ex-USSR countries making it into the final. That is a pretty
:55:02. > :55:08.amazing showing for that part of the world. Unfortunately, the
:55:08. > :55:17.Netherlands, the departure song, it did not make it into the final. I'm
:55:17. > :55:27.sure Anouk is - we have one left. I'm sorry. Maths is hard! The last
:55:27. > :55:44.
:55:44. > :55:48.finalist is... Who is it going to be? The Netherlands!All right. They
:55:48. > :55:53.made it in. That is great news for the Netherlands. They have been
:55:53. > :55:57.trying for the last few years. I want to give my condolences to
:55:57. > :56:02.Montenegro and tell them, "You can come out to Brooklyn and hang with
:56:03. > :56:05.me and we can have some coffee and listen to some music!"
:56:05. > :56:11.Congratulations to all those countries who made it through to the
:56:11. > :56:21.final. You have qualified. Good luck. Here are tonight's lucky
:56:21. > :56:31.winners: We are checking them out one more time. Moldova. This girl is
:56:31. > :56:34.
:56:34. > :56:42.on fire! A surprising entrance - # I'm in love with you. #
:56:42. > :56:52.Yes! Little touches of Morten from Aha, perhaps. Ireland. Oh boy. I
:56:52. > :56:56.
:56:56. > :57:00.have met those two back-up dancers at the George in Dublin. Estonia -
:57:00. > :57:07.delivering classic Eurovision. Angelic woman in light, low-lying
:57:07. > :57:15.fog. Good showing. Belarus. A little fringe, a little cha cha, what could
:57:15. > :57:25.be more Eurovision? Denmark, strong showing from them. Strong favourite.
:57:25. > :57:28.
:57:28. > :57:38.Will they take it all the way? All right, Russia! Very, very strong
:57:38. > :57:40.
:57:40. > :57:47.ballad. Let's see if they take it all the way. Very solid showing from
:57:47. > :57:57.Belgium with a solid pop song. Great work, Roberto Bellarosa. Ladies and
:57:57. > :57:58.
:57:58. > :58:06.gentlemen, I want to see the giant again! Finally, the very unique song
:58:06. > :58:12.from the Netherlands. Very excited to see what happens with them. Here
:58:12. > :58:20.is an interesting backnote. No Yugoslavian countries qualified this
:58:20. > :58:24.year. One of these artists could be the winner of the Eurovision Song
:58:24. > :58:29.Contest 2013. We will find out on Saturday. First, on Thursday, 17
:58:29. > :58:33.more countries will compete for the remaining places in the final. Also,
:58:33. > :58:38.I will be back, Lynda Woodruff will be back, and we will have some
:58:38. > :58:45.amazing guest artists. It is good night from Petra until Thursday
:58:45. > :58:48.night. Now, let's go back to Scott who is with Dr Eurovision for his
:58:49. > :58:58.final thoughts. Let's ask Dr Eurovision. What do you reckon about
:58:59. > :59:00.
:59:00. > :59:05.that? I said we were in for a shock. We are. We have every single
:59:05. > :59:10.ex-Soviet country qualify tonight. Lithuania? It was all about the
:59:10. > :59:15.eyebrows. Did you see the look on the Serbian girl's face? She was
:59:15. > :59:21.delighted. How fantastic for the Netherlands. That got such a huge
:59:21. > :59:26.response. It is like they won. The fact they are in the final for the
:59:26. > :59:31.first time since 2004. Any other surprises tonight? Lithuania was a
:59:31. > :59:38.surprise. Belarus as well. I liked the song. I think it was a little
:59:39. > :59:43.bit trashy. It was too trashy. As an artist, compare the Netherlands and
