:10:15. > :10:22.going to Malta, to a group called Firelight. I think it is like a
:10:23. > :10:26.Maltese version of Mumford Sons. The song is called Coming Home. They
:10:27. > :10:32.are playing with matches and fire here, don't try it at home. The band
:10:33. > :10:38.are made up of brothers and sisters. Scott, imagine a Maltese The Corrs?
:10:39. > :10:44.Of course. It always goes back to the Irish! Malta have not won the
:10:45. > :10:48.Eurovision Song Contest. They are hoping to get through to Saturday's
:10:49. > :10:52.big Grand Final. Here we are with Malta's Firelight
:10:53. > :11:04.with the song, Coming Home. # Freedom of life
:11:05. > :11:10.I will express my soul # Look me in the eye
:11:11. > :11:18.and electrify my bones # I ain't gonna leave
:11:19. > :11:27.until you know my name # Stepping out of the shell
:11:28. > :11:36.Now don't you step in my way # Build another wall
:11:37. > :11:43.and watch it crumble by your side # I'm not holding back
:11:44. > :12:03.No, I ain't wasting time # If you want me near
:12:04. > :12:10.then you must come for the ride # If your sky will fall
:12:11. > :12:20.I'll shelter you from the rain # There's not a cloud in the sky
:12:21. > :12:24.that can come in the way # Oh, roaming through fields
:12:25. > :12:37.I'm trying to find this new land # It's only cos I'm here
:12:38. > :12:40.I'm finding gold in my hands # Trying to build up the words
:12:41. > :13:08.to say what you mean to me # Gonna open your eyes
:13:09. > :13:11.and let you know what I mean # Gonna take on this journey
:13:12. > :13:26.Feel the light getting warm # Freedom of life
:13:27. > :13:36.I will express my soul # I'm on the road coming home
:13:37. > :14:22.Coming Home. People have seen the likeness to Mumford Sons. Next we
:14:23. > :14:33.are off to Israel. It looks like she is on the ice flats but it is the
:14:34. > :14:38.salt flats. This is a performance that contains
:14:39. > :14:44.flashing images and strobe effects. It is Mei Finegold, Same Heart. See
:14:45. > :14:48.what you think of this and let us know about it.
:14:49. > :14:58.Listen to the lyrics. # With sins, but I have learned
:14:59. > :15:15.to grow # And now, too many lies
:15:16. > :15:17.Too many cries IN ENGLISH: # And it's time for me
:15:18. > :16:48.to clean up your mess # And it's time for me
:16:49. > :16:55.to open my eyes # We don't beat
:16:56. > :18:04.from the same heart. # skinning you out mean? I don't know.
:18:05. > :18:10.We could try it later. OK.
:18:11. > :18:15.Right, we are going to Norway. To Carl Espen.
:18:16. > :18:22.He is a carpenter by trade, as well as a talented musician. His song is
:18:23. > :18:27.called A Silent Storm. This was early on a bookies' favour
:18:28. > :18:38.receipt. It has slipped in the week but you never know. It could be a
:18:39. > :18:44.strong Balad. There is also a violin xeroxed t on a ski slope, shall we
:18:45. > :18:54.say? Here we go. This is Carl Espen, with Silent Storm.
:18:55. > :19:30.# I'm here to use my heart and my hands
:19:31. > :19:38.# Somehow the bruises changed my plans?
:19:39. > :19:48.# And there's a silent storm inside me

:25:54. > :25:58.people like that. Very different.
:25:59. > :26:02.Unusual. Now to Poland and something else that is unusual. That is Don
:26:03. > :26:07.Quixote. Wearing the shades. Even back stage. Now for their
:26:08. > :26:11.performance, Poland seem to have taken inspiration from the saucy
:26:12. > :26:15.postcards, which may not be everybody's taste, so just to warn
:26:16. > :26:21.you. Don Quixote will not be on stage. He is in the green room,
:26:22. > :26:27.waiting there so that they can have an extra backing dancer on stage.
:26:28. > :26:35.Enjoy this, this is Eleni Daniilidou from Poland, and this are singing We
:26:36. > :26:57.Are Slavic. -- Don Quixote.
:26:58. > :27:01.# We know how to use our charming beauty

:29:48. > :29:52.calling. You cannot vote by text. The lines do not open until all acts
:29:53. > :29:58.have performed tonight. Right, whilst they take a break
:29:59. > :30:06.here, let's find out what our UK entrance, Molly, has been up to this
:30:07. > :30:12.week. Enjoy. Once upon a time, there was a girl
:30:13. > :30:16.called Molly. She arrived in the magical land of Copenhagen.
:30:17. > :30:22.We are here in Copenhagen. I have the Molly Mobile. It is pink. Which
:30:23. > :30:27.is great. Yeah, ready to roll... Molly was about to enter the biggest
:30:28. > :30:34.singing competition in the world. In just a few days, she will be taking
:30:35. > :30:41.to the stage. That is massive! But, before the big
:30:42. > :30:45.night, Molly had a few Swankingy events to attend.
:30:46. > :30:50.It's crazy here at the minute. But it is brilliant.
:30:51. > :31:00.And then, there was the Ambassador's Reception. Molly even treated
:31:01. > :31:06.everyone to a little sing song. She even had time to fit in some
:31:07. > :31:13.sightseeing. She visited the third most famous mermaid, after Ariel and
:31:14. > :31:17.Daryl Hannah in Splash. But then it was time to get back to business, as
:31:18. > :31:24.Molly needed to practise before the Grand Final.
:31:25. > :31:42.But how will Molly's story end? Wish me luck! Well, not quite.
:31:43. > :31:47.Only ten of the 15 countries here tonight will have the pleasure of
:31:48. > :31:51.competing in the Grand Final on Saturday.
:31:52. > :32:00.We still have ten more acts to go. So what do you say, Europe, are you
:32:01. > :32:08.ready for the next song? Yes! I think they're ready! I think you are
:32:09. > :32:12.right! Especially you, the hard core fans, Estonia, are you ready? You
:32:13. > :32:16.know what, you guys are the beating heart of the show.
:32:17. > :32:21.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. And, Lise, we have to continue the
:32:22. > :32:37.party, and we will do it with song number six. Give it up for the Queen
:32:38. > :32:42.of Austria... Worst worst worst. Now, this is the most talked about
:32:43. > :32:45.character of this year's Eurovision Song Contest. She is everybody
:32:46. > :32:51.where. She is a diva. We went to a club and
:32:52. > :32:55.it was like Cher was in the room. We love her.
:32:56. > :33:01.Conchita is a man, of course, he is Tom. He decided to represent his
:33:02. > :33:07.Cambridgeshire, Austria. Can she give Austria the first Eurovision
:33:08. > :33:10.Song Contest win for 48 years? Wow! She has had such a fantastic
:33:11. > :33:19.reception in Copenhagen. I touched the beard. It is real.
:33:20. > :33:29.Was it soft in Yes, really soft. Conchita Wurst, Rise Like a Phoenix.
:33:30. > :36:32.great. They are loving it here. Conchita Wurst, with a growing beard
:36:33. > :36:36.that will be in full flow for the final on Saturday night on BBC One.
:36:37. > :36:42.I love that. I love it.
:36:43. > :36:46.Now, we are moving on to Lithuania, to a female vocalist by the name of
:36:47. > :36:52.Vilija Mataciunaite. The song is called Attention. It is
:36:53. > :36:57.a bit of a Black Swan moment. It is an unusual Archbishop Tutu. There
:36:58. > :37:06.will be holes in it. I don't even know how I am trying to describe
:37:07. > :37:18.this. There are holes in the tutu. Keep an eye out on this! There is a
:37:19. > :37:20.little dub step beat in there. This is Lithuania, this is Vilija
:37:21. > :37:26.Mataciunaite with Attention. # Did you think that
:37:27. > :37:32.you could get me, boy? No # Thought you could buy me
:37:33. > :37:37.for a drink or two # You saw me chatting with my girls
:37:38. > :37:44.at bar # You told me I look like
:37:45. > :37:50.a movie star # So I'm gonna make you
:37:51. > :37:55.Make you fall # I'm gonna make you
:37:56. > :37:59.Make you fall # I'm gonna make you
:38:00. > :38:02.Make you fall # I'm gonna make you
:38:03. > :38:06.Make you fall # Then you can have
:38:07. > :38:12.a love, love, love, love, some love # You thought I'd give it to you
:38:13. > :38:34.All I have # You told me
:38:35. > :38:43.you're the best I'll ever have # I'm gonna make you
:38:44. > :38:47.Make you fall # I'm gonna make you
:38:48. > :38:51.Make you fall # I'm gonna make you
:38:52. > :38:54.Make you fall # I'm gonna make you
:38:55. > :38:58.Make you fall # Then you can have
:38:59. > :39:04.a love, love, love, love, some love # So I'm not gonna ask you
:39:05. > :39:28.buy me diamonds # Just behave yourself
:39:29. > :39:32.Treat me very well # Then you can have
:39:33. > :39:45.a love, love, love, love, some love # Then you can have
:39:46. > :40:24.a love, love, love, love, some love Lithuania.
:40:25. > :40:29.What a bendy-legged Lithuanian she is.
:40:30. > :40:35.Still getting lots of comments about Poland, do they have washing
:40:36. > :40:46.machines there? No, obviously not. Now, we are off to Finland. I made
:40:47. > :40:50.an idiot earlier, by introducing the band badly but they are called
:40:51. > :40:56.Softengine. They are from Finland. They are all boys, aged between 16
:40:57. > :41:00.and 19. At the rehearsals, the girls were loving this lot in their silver
:41:01. > :41:06.suits. They say that they are going to Copenhagen to play a three-minute
:41:07. > :41:07.gig on full blast. Here are Softengine for Finland and Something
:41:08. > :41:13.Better. # Even human bound
:41:14. > :41:15.People rolling dice # Image on the ground
:41:16. > :41:20.Such a novel life, he thought # Every option noted
:41:21. > :41:27.or tendency made # They will carry on until
:41:28. > :41:33.the perfect date, she said # All the rules well known
:41:34. > :41:42.They mean nothing to me # Vis-a-vis estranged
:41:43. > :42:10.and we got close # Trust full of lies
:42:11. > :42:13.Sure how it goes, they told # Talking loud
:42:14. > :42:24.'bout future in our hands # Exchanging dreams
:42:25. > :42:28.and how they'll last, no, no # All these words
:42:29. > :43:03.reflected back to me # All these words
:43:04. > :43:10.The life's grand mystery # All these words
:43:11. > :43:16.she meant to say to me # All these words
:43:17. > :43:23.before she passed away # All these words
:43:24. > :43:26.will never, never, never change # We found!
:43:27. > :43:59.Oh oh oh oh # We found, we found
:44:00. > :44:19.We found, we found! They were amazing. Remember last
:44:20. > :44:23.year, it was Marry Me, the Girl in the Wedding dress, who I introduced
:44:24. > :44:30.you last night? Yes. Speaking of Ireland, I am going to
:44:31. > :44:38.be biassed, this is Ireland's entry. This is Kasey Smith. I love it. 900
:44:39. > :44:47.balloons were used to recreate the Irish flag. You may recognise,
:44:48. > :44:54.Kasey. She got into the top ten in the UK charts. Obviously, Kasey has
:44:55. > :44:58.gone off to do her own thing and represent Ireland. Watch out for the
:44:59. > :45:19.two backing singers. I had a nice jig with them.
:45:20. > :45:54.# Keep your head high above the water
:45:55. > :46:13.# You're a dreamer and you don't know
:46:14. > :46:53.# Keep your head high above the water
:46:54. > :47:12.# You're a dreamer and you don't know
:47:13. > :47:35.# Keep your head high above the water
:47:36. > :47:51.# You're a dreamer and you don't know
:47:52. > :48:17.She did. A lot of the male members of the audience a big fan there, I
:48:18. > :48:26.wonder why. OK. Next we are going to Belarus.
:48:27. > :48:29.This includes the lyrics: I'm no Patrick Swayze, she is no Jennifer
:48:30. > :48:35.Grey. There is a cake theme here. This
:48:36. > :48:40.song is called... Cheesecake. Yes, specific with the type of
:48:41. > :48:47.bakery. The artist, Teo says about the song,
:48:48. > :48:53.that the lyrics tell the story that he no longer wants to be with the
:48:54. > :48:57.girl, as he is tired her being called sweet cheesecake. So, for
:48:58. > :49:01.Belarus, for the semi-final number two, this is Teo and his Sweet Close
:49:02. > :49:13.cheese! # When you called me
:49:14. > :49:36."my sweet cheesecake" # I'm not gonna be your boyfriend
:49:37. > :49:38.It's too late # I look over Google Maps
:49:39. > :49:41.trying to escape # Cos I'm tired of being
:49:42. > :49:43.your sweet cheesecake # I don't wanna be your toy
:49:44. > :49:46.Perhaps today # I'm not gonna be your boyfriend

:32:56. > :33:01.tag line of the Eurovision Song Contest this year is join us. That
:33:02. > :33:09.is why we asked all of you guys out there to send you a video dancing.
:33:10. > :33:14.We have received thousands of great videos. We ended up in fighting the
:33:15. > :33:18.26 most charismatic dancers to join us on stage tonight. One of them is
:33:19. > :33:27.this sweet little girl, Megan, from Ireland. She is from County Wicklow,
:33:28. > :33:32.my hometown! She is eight years old, and she is first on stage. Please
:33:33. > :33:39.give her a big round of applause. There is also a dance on stage
:33:40. > :34:51.called Glen, from Wales. Keep an eye out for him, he's got some moves.
:34:52. > :35:08.This is Glen, who we were talking about. He has a show that runs all
:35:09. > :35:09.year around, dedicated to Eurovision. That's hard-core
:35:10. > :35:37.dedication! So, we have got lots of tweets
:35:38. > :35:39.coming in. One from Lewis. Just for the parachute dude that loves life.
:35:40. > :35:58.Loving a bit of Georgia, there! Another unhappy camper. That was
:35:59. > :36:05.subtle, pushing Britain with Australia! What are you doing?
:36:06. > :36:13.We have a tweet from Maria White. If thin and don't make it in, it's a
:36:14. > :36:17.travesty. Best actor of the night. I'm liking this lady on stage, one
:36:18. > :36:22.of the oldest to dancers on stage. She is loving life! Look at her go.
:36:23. > :36:34.I love her. What is she doing? Lying down.
:36:35. > :36:40.Another tweet, Belarus is my favourite underdog, it's nothing to
:36:41. > :36:58.do with my love of cheesecake! Mine neither.
:36:59. > :37:04.Thank you very much to the great dancers from all over Europe. Now,

:37:45. > :37:50.may still be charged. The lines are now closed. We have seen all 15
:37:51. > :37:54.countries perform. We will dissect all of that in a minute. Eurovision
:37:55. > :37:58.is home to one of the most top-secret, elite clubs in the
:37:59. > :38:12.world. Because I am a veteran, I gave Laura a bit of an inside. Where
:38:13. > :38:18.are we? Shh! Seriously. You been here a few days, I need to tell you
:38:19. > :38:22.what is going on. You are stood in the secret meeting place of
:38:23. > :38:27.Eurovision Club. It's like fight club, but they have changed one
:38:28. > :38:31.word. Does that mean you are going to give me a Chinese learn? No, but
:38:32. > :38:39.there are rules you need to abide by. I have been doing this for ages,
:38:40. > :38:45.but you need to learn. What are the rules? You always talk about
:38:46. > :38:51.Eurovision. I'm sure I'll be doing a lot of that. Number two, you only
:38:52. > :38:59.talk about Eurovision. I got back the first time. You need to take
:39:00. > :39:06.this more seriously. You need to know your trivia, not just what
:39:07. > :39:10.colour outfit Belgium war in 1985, blue, obviously, I am talking about
:39:11. > :39:17.niche. Do you mind passing me the mill? Do you know that two of the
:39:18. > :39:22.Russians in 2012 were milkmaids before they did Eurovision, one of
:39:23. > :39:30.which was the oldest entry in Eurovision. Until 2013, they had a
:39:31. > :39:39.double bass player aged 95. Not bad. Vilna before, anything goes,
:39:40. > :39:41.including your dignity. -- rule number four. The kitchen, pays,
:39:42. > :39:56.snacks for later. I see you are enjoying the
:39:57. > :40:03.hospitality. Thank you very much, I don't mind if I do. Rule number
:40:04. > :40:05.five, one of the original, founding rules, you need to get yourself
:40:06. > :40:21.invited to a Eurovision party. I've definitely done that. Rule six
:40:22. > :40:26.is not as easy, the days leading up to the final full on. You need the
:40:27. > :40:39.ability to stay awake for days. Here is your schedule. Thanks. When do I
:40:40. > :40:45.get a day off? 20 copies, please. Do you need any help carrying it to
:40:46. > :40:50.your friends? They are all for me. Coffee breath, do you want a mint?
:40:51. > :40:59.The last rule, whatever you do, just try to blend in. If you can't beat
:41:00. > :41:05.them, you might as well join them. Looking good, Lance. But I have some
:41:06. > :41:11.tea? Yes, I so blend in. Look at that picture, that would be nice in
:41:12. > :41:14.my flat. Did you not listened to rule one and two? You only talk
:41:15. > :41:25.about Eurovision! Forget it. Right, so, I have with me Doctor
:41:26. > :41:32.Eurovision, now with a Eurovision hand injury. You were not meant to
:41:33. > :41:45.mention that, I was running on the Ukrainian hamster wheel. And
:41:46. > :41:54.Christina from Cake To Bake. What do we think, generally, as a show? I
:41:55. > :42:00.really liked it. I really loved it. I love the stage, they are working
:42:01. > :42:04.really good. I'm proud of them. Who was your favourite? My favourite was
:42:05. > :42:16.the first one. # I'm coming home! # My favourite
:42:17. > :42:20.was Poland. Great entertainers. They have a very
:42:21. > :42:27.interesting Eurovision history. Their 20th anniversary. They for a
:42:28. > :42:35.few years. What did you like about Poland? I just saw a lot of
:42:36. > :42:40.boobies. Our children not watching? It is an interesting way to show, if
:42:41. > :42:45.all of their girls are like that, it would be interesting to see them.
:42:46. > :42:53.They were doing Polish chores, like churning butter. I'm a woman, I know
:42:54. > :42:59.with a big chest it is hard, if you have that... Anyway! You didn't make
:43:00. > :43:10.it through, we were gutted that Cake To Bake didn't go through. Have you
:43:11. > :43:15.got over your disappointment? Myself, I didn't feel disappointed,
:43:16. > :43:21.I felt really good about it. I did it 150%. I gave it all on stage. I
:43:22. > :43:38.just love that. Have you ditched your cupcake fat? I have four of
:43:39. > :43:42.them. -- cupcake hat. We haven't had any body on a show that has been
:43:43. > :43:46.knocked out. Did you feel really gutted? It was a weird feeling, you
:43:47. > :43:53.know? I felt we were going to qualify, because of all of the
:43:54. > :43:59.singing, the huge choir. In the UK, it was crazy. My friends were
:44:00. > :44:05.writing to me. I was like, seriously, what is happening? It's a
:44:06. > :44:09.shame they couldn't vote. I know you must get a lot of cake because of
:44:10. > :44:19.the song, I got you something savoury from the garage. It is an
:44:20. > :44:24.actual loaf. Honestly, the garage opposite our hotel is amazing.
:44:25. > :44:30.They've got at Cellucci everything, including fresh bread. Everybody has
:44:31. > :44:35.been talking about the bearded lady, Conchita Wurst. What were your
:44:36. > :44:40.thoughts? Me and her, we are friends. Before this? We met in
:44:41. > :44:47.Latvia when she was there to perform. I just started talking to
:44:48. > :44:50.her. Sorry, bread is going everywhere. We were talking, and
:44:51. > :45:01.now, yes, when we didn't qualify, she was here. She came to me, I
:45:02. > :45:08.said, my sister said, now you want to come for this one? I was, like,
:45:09. > :45:13.are you OK? I hope she's going to qualify. Are you going to hang out
:45:14. > :45:25.now? We'll see, if she is going to be busy. The thoughts on the
:45:26. > :45:31.circular piano? Interesting. Paula is the singer who represented her
:45:32. > :45:37.country with that song back in 2010, and with the singer, OVI. They came
:45:38. > :45:42.third then. But for me, I am watching Ireland. The reigning
:45:43. > :45:46.Eurovision Song Contest champions, seven wins and the legend that is
:45:47. > :45:51.Niamh Kavanagh, who came back for them. So all eyes on them.
:45:52. > :45:54.They have the Irish dancers. Loads of Irish here and they like to
:45:55. > :45:59.party. Who is not going through tonight,
:46:00. > :46:04.before we see the results? I would like to say Tijana. I don't know. It
:46:05. > :46:11.is hard to say it is very difficult to tell in here but she did not
:46:12. > :46:15.sound that in tune. Yeah, she did not sing that well.
:46:16. > :46:21.Let's get the results. We have the found the first ten

:49:18. > :49:24.# I know it's hard to get # She's a special girl
:49:25. > :49:34.# Oh, # It feels like I love you
:49:35. > :49:44.# I want to please you, baby # I love you
:49:45. > :49:46.# And I can please you, baby. #

:04:10. > :04:16.our expert, what did you think of that. Sneaky, leaving Conchita until
:04:17. > :04:22.the last? She is an amazing singer. No Ireland this year. The first time
:04:23. > :04:26.that they have failed to make it through to 2010.
:04:27. > :04:31.Niamh Kavanagh made it through then. And no Israel. Dana International
:04:32. > :04:36.brought it back for them in 2011. There have been a few surprises.
:04:37. > :04:39.Slovenia was a surprise. They have not made it through for a few years,
:04:40. > :04:44.since 2011. Thank you very much for the expert
:04:45. > :04:52.advice. Remember, the final of the Eurovision Song Contest, 2014, is on
:04:53. > :05:01.BBC One, 8.00pm on Saturday night with Graham Norton. Good night.
