automatic place in the final. So we don't take part in the semi-finals.

:02:07.:02:11.

So we enjoy. So the venue is a converted shipyard

:02:12.:02:18.

in an island in Copenhagen. It is now taken over bioow vision.

:02:19.:02:26.

Now the Danish broadcasters have done a great job with the set design

:02:27.:02:30.

and the lying. It is a stage that is very

:02:31.:02:36.

impressive. Probably the best stage I have ever seen.

:02:37.:02:41.

The opening dance is called Building the Stage. Enjoy.

:09:56.:10:00.

Let the Eurovision Song Contest begin! I'm enjoying the detail on

:10:01.:10:09.

her dress. . It is interesting. Right we are

:10:10.:10:14.

going to Malta, to a group called Firelight. I think it is like a

:10:15.:10:22.

Maltese version of Mumford Sons. The song is called Coming Home. They

:10:23.:10:26.

are playing with matches and fire here, don't try it at home. The band

:10:27.:10:32.

are made up of brothers and sisters. Scott, imagine a Maltese The Corrs?

:10:33.:10:38.

Of course. It always goes back to the Irish! Malta have not won the

:10:39.:10:44.

Eurovision Song Contest. They are hoping to get through to Saturday's

:10:45.:10:48.

big Grand Final. Here we are with Malta's Firelight

:10:49.:10:52.

with the song, Coming Home. # Freedom of life

:10:53.:11:04.

I will express my soul # Look me in the eye

:11:05.:11:10.

and electrify my bones # I ain't gonna leave

:11:11.:11:18.

until you know my name # Stepping out of the shell

:11:19.:11:27.

Now don't you step in my way # Build another wall

:11:28.:11:36.

and watch it crumble by your side # I'm not holding back

:11:37.:11:43.

No, I ain't wasting time # If you want me near

:11:44.:12:03.

then you must come for the ride # If your sky will fall

:12:04.:12:10.

I'll shelter you from the rain # There's not a cloud in the sky

:12:11.:12:20.

that can come in the way # Oh, roaming through fields

:12:21.:12:24.

I'm trying to find this new land # It's only cos I'm here

:12:25.:12:37.

I'm finding gold in my hands # Trying to build up the words

:12:38.:12:40.

to say what you mean to me # Gonna open your eyes

:12:41.:13:08.

and let you know what I mean # Gonna take on this journey

:13:09.:13:11.

Feel the light getting warm # Freedom of life

:13:12.:13:26.

I will express my soul # I'm on the road coming home

:13:27.:13:36.

Coming Home. People have seen the likeness to Mumford Sons. Next we

:13:37.:14:22.

are off to Israel. It looks like she is on the ice flats but it is the

:14:23.:14:33.

salt flats. This is a performance that contains

:14:34.:14:38.

flashing images and strobe effects. It is Mei Finegold, Same Heart. See

:14:39.:14:44.

what you think of this and let us know about it.

:14:45.:14:48.

Listen to the lyrics. # With sins, but I have learned

:14:49.:14:58.

to grow # And now, too many lies

:14:59.:15:15.

Too many cries IN ENGLISH: # And it's time for me

:15:16.:15:17.

to clean up your mess # And it's time for me

:15:18.:16:48.

to open my eyes # We don't beat

:16:49.:16:55.

from the same heart. # skinning you out mean? I don't know.

:16:56.:18:04.

We could try it later. OK.

:18:05.:18:10.

Right, we are going to Norway. To Carl Espen.

:18:11.:18:15.

He is a carpenter by trade, as well as a talented musician. His song is

:18:16.:18:22.

called A Silent Storm. This was early on a bookies' favour

:18:23.:18:27.

receipt. It has slipped in the week but you never know. It could be a

:18:28.:18:38.

strong Balad. There is also a violin xeroxed t on a ski slope, shall we

:18:39.:18:44.

say? Here we go. This is Carl Espen, with Silent Storm.

:18:45.:18:54.

# I'm here to use my heart and my hands

:18:55.:19:30.

# Somehow the bruises changed my plans?

:19:31.:19:38.

# And there's a silent storm inside me

:19:39.:19:48.

# I hope that someone's gonna find me

:19:49.:19:51.

# And there's a silent storm inside me

:19:52.:20:05.

# I'm here to use my heart and my hands

:20:06.:20:47.

# Somehow the bruises changed my plans?

:20:48.:21:04.

# And there's a silent storm inside me

:21:05.:21:06.

# I hope that someone's gonna find me

:21:07.:21:10.

You guys have been tweeting. Saying that was beautiful.

:21:11.:21:55.

And that you fancy Carl. I love him and the jeans.

:21:56.:22:02.

We are here tonight, talking about what you are tweeting.

:22:03.:22:12.

OK, next it is Georgia, I want you to not worry about the green thing.

:22:13.:22:18.

It does change soon. Also, look out for the singing drummer.

:22:19.:22:21.

There are so many things going on with the next act.

:22:22.:22:26.

. He is having a lovely time. There are many things going on at once. So

:22:27.:22:30.

do concentrate and the first parachute on Eurovision Song

Contest. Three Minutes to Earth, by The Shin

:22:35.:22:37.

guitar, says Hugh. That was Georgia, The Shin and Mariko. I belt loads of

:25:51.:25:53.

people like that. Very different.

:25:54.:25:58.

Unusual. Now to Poland and something else that is unusual. That is Don

:25:59.:26:02.

Quixote. Wearing the shades. Even back stage. Now for their

:26:03.:26:07.

performance, Poland seem to have taken inspiration from the saucy

:26:08.:26:11.

postcards, which may not be everybody's taste, so just to warn

:26:12.:26:15.

you. Don Quixote will not be on stage. He is in the green room,

:26:16.:26:21.

waiting there so that they can have an extra backing dancer on stage.

:26:22.:26:27.

Enjoy this, this is Eleni Daniilidou from Poland, and this are singing We

:26:28.:26:35.

Are Slavic. -- Don Quixote.

:26:36.:26:57.

# We know how to use our charming beauty

:26:58.:27:01.

# This is our nature This is our call

:27:02.:27:14.

# We know how to use our charming beauty

:27:15.:27:34.

# This is our nature This is our call

:27:35.:27:41.

# This special thing we have in our genes

:27:42.:27:45.

# Makes us proud of our natural shapes

:27:46.:27:56.

# On our lands you have everything you need

:27:57.:27:58.

# So pour the vodka straight No need to mix

:27:59.:28:01.

# We will prepare for you delicious food

:28:02.:28:05.

# Our beauty is famous all over the world

:28:06.:28:26.

# We know how to use our charming beauty

# You gotta see it for yourself and then you will know

# This is our nature This is our call

:28:57.:29:19.

As we said earlier, the UK viewers can vote tonight. But only by

:29:20.:29:47.

calling. You cannot vote by text. The lines do not open until all acts

:29:48.:29:52.

have performed tonight. Right, whilst they take a break

:29:53.:29:58.

here, let's find out what our UK entrance, Molly, has been up to this

:29:59.:30:06.

week. Enjoy. Once upon a time, there was a girl

:30:07.:30:12.

called Molly. She arrived in the magical land of Copenhagen.

:30:13.:30:16.

We are here in Copenhagen. I have the Molly Mobile. It is pink. Which

:30:17.:30:22.

is great. Yeah, ready to roll... Molly was about to enter the biggest

:30:23.:30:27.

singing competition in the world. In just a few days, she will be taking

:30:28.:30:34.

to the stage. That is massive! But, before the big

:30:35.:30:41.

night, Molly had a few Swankingy events to attend.

:30:42.:30:45.

It's crazy here at the minute. But it is brilliant.

:30:46.:30:50.

And then, there was the Ambassador's Reception. Molly even treated

:30:51.:31:00.

everyone to a little sing song. She even had time to fit in some

:31:01.:31:06.

sightseeing. She visited the third most famous mermaid, after Ariel and

:31:07.:31:13.

Daryl Hannah in Splash. But then it was time to get back to business, as

:31:14.:31:17.

Molly needed to practise before the Grand Final.

:31:18.:31:24.

But how will Molly's story end? Wish me luck! Well, not quite.

:31:25.:31:42.

Only ten of the 15 countries here tonight will have the pleasure of

:31:43.:31:47.

competing in the Grand Final on Saturday.

:31:48.:31:51.

We still have ten more acts to go. So what do you say, Europe, are you

:31:52.:32:00.

ready for the next song? Yes! I think they're ready! I think you are

:32:01.:32:08.

right! Especially you, the hard core fans, Estonia, are you ready? You

:32:09.:32:12.

know what, you guys are the beating heart of the show.

:32:13.:32:16.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. And, Lise, we have to continue the

:32:17.:32:21.

party, and we will do it with song number six. Give it up for the Queen

:32:22.:32:37.

of Austria... Worst worst worst. Now, this is the most talked about

:32:38.:32:42.

character of this year's Eurovision Song Contest. She is everybody

:32:43.:32:45.

where. She is a diva. We went to a club and

:32:46.:32:51.

it was like Cher was in the room. We love her.

:32:52.:32:55.

Conchita is a man, of course, he is Tom. He decided to represent his

:32:56.:33:01.

Cambridgeshire, Austria. Can she give Austria the first Eurovision

:33:02.:33:07.

Song Contest win for 48 years? Wow! She has had such a fantastic

:33:08.:33:10.

reception in Copenhagen. I touched the beard. It is real.

:33:11.:33:19.

Was it soft in Yes, really soft. Conchita Wurst, Rise Like a Phoenix.

:33:20.:33:29.

great. They are loving it here. Conchita Wurst, with a growing beard

:33:30.:36:32.

that will be in full flow for the final on Saturday night on BBC One.

:36:33.:36:36.

I love that. I love it.

:36:37.:36:42.

Now, we are moving on to Lithuania, to a female vocalist by the name of

:36:43.:36:46.

Vilija Mataciunaite. The song is called Attention. It is

:36:47.:36:52.

a bit of a Black Swan moment. It is an unusual Archbishop Tutu. There

:36:53.:36:57.

will be holes in it. I don't even know how I am trying to describe

:36:58.:37:06.

this. There are holes in the tutu. Keep an eye out on this! There is a

:37:07.:37:18.

little dub step beat in there. This is Lithuania, this is Vilija

:37:19.:37:20.

Mataciunaite with Attention. # Did you think that

:37:21.:37:26.

you could get me, boy? No # Thought you could buy me

:37:27.:37:32.

for a drink or two # You saw me chatting with my girls

:37:33.:37:37.

at bar # You told me I look like

:37:38.:37:44.

a movie star # So I'm gonna make you

:37:45.:37:50.

Make you fall # 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 # Then you can have

:38:03.:38:06.

a love, love, love, love, some love # You thought I'd give it to you

:38:07.:38:12.

All I have # You told me

:38:13.:38:34.

you're the best I'll ever have # I'm gonna make you

:38:35.:38:43.

Make you fall # 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 # Then you can have

:38:55.:38:58.

a love, love, love, love, some love # So I'm not gonna ask you

:38:59.:39:04.

buy me diamonds # Just behave yourself

:39:05.:39:28.

Treat me very well # Then you can have

:39:29.:39:32.

a love, love, love, love, some love # Then you can have

:39:33.:39:45.

a love, love, love, love, some love Lithuania.

:39:46.:40:24.

What a bendy-legged Lithuanian she is.

:40:25.:40:29.

Still getting lots of comments about Poland, do they have washing

:40:30.:40:35.

machines there? No, obviously not. Now, we are off to Finland. I made

:40:36.:40:46.

an idiot earlier, by introducing the band badly but they are called

:40:47.:40:50.

Softengine. They are from Finland. They are all boys, aged between 16

:40:51.:40:56.

and 19. At the rehearsals, the girls were loving this lot in their silver

:40:57.:41:00.

suits. They say that they are going to Copenhagen to play a three-minute

:41:01.:41:06.

gig on full blast. Here are Softengine for Finland and Something

:41:07.:41:07.

Better. # Even human bound

:41:08.:41:13.

People rolling dice # Image on the ground

:41:14.:41:15.

Such a novel life, he thought # Every option noted

:41:16.:41:20.

or tendency made # They will carry on until

:41:21.:41:27.

the perfect date, she said # All the rules well known

:41:28.:41:33.

They mean nothing to me # Vis-a-vis estranged

:41:34.:41:42.

and we got close # Trust full of lies

:41:43.:42:10.

Sure how it goes, they told # Talking loud

:42:11.:42:13.

'bout future in our hands # Exchanging dreams

:42:14.:42:24.

and how they'll last, no, no # All these words

:42:25.:42:28.

reflected back to me # All these words

:42:29.:43:03.

The life's grand mystery # All these words

:43:04.:43:10.

she meant to say to me # All these words

:43:11.:43:16.

before she passed away # All these words

:43:17.:43:23.

will never, never, never change # We found!

:43:24.:43:26.

Oh oh oh oh # We found, we found

:43:27.:43:59.

We found, we found! They were amazing. Remember last

:44:00.:44:19.

year, it was Marry Me, the Girl in the Wedding dress, who I introduced

:44:20.:44:23.

you last night? Yes. Speaking of Ireland, I am going to

:44:24.:44:30.

be biassed, this is Ireland's entry. This is Kasey Smith. I love it. 900

:44:31.:44:38.

balloons were used to recreate the Irish flag. You may recognise,

:44:39.:44:47.

Kasey. She got into the top ten in the UK charts. Obviously, Kasey has

:44:48.:44:54.

gone off to do her own thing and represent Ireland. Watch out for the

:44:55.:44:58.

two backing singers. I had a nice jig with them.

:44:59.:45:19.

# Keep your head high above the water

:45:20.:45:54.

# You're a dreamer and you don't know

:45:55.:46:13.

# Keep your head high above the water

:46:14.:46:53.

# You're a dreamer and you don't know

:46:54.:47:12.

# Keep your head high above the water

:47:13.:47:35.

# You're a dreamer and you don't know

:47:36.:47:51.

She did. A lot of the male members of the audience a big fan there, I

:47:52.:48:17.

wonder why. OK. Next we are going to Belarus.

:48:18.:48:26.

This includes the lyrics: I'm no Patrick Swayze, she is no Jennifer

:48:27.:48:29.

Grey. There is a cake theme here. This

:48:30.:48:35.

song is called... Cheesecake. Yes, specific with the type of

:48:36.:48:40.

bakery. The artist, Teo says about the song,

:48:41.:48:47.

that the lyrics tell the story that he no longer wants to be with the

:48:48.:48:53.

girl, as he is tired her being called sweet cheesecake. So, for

:48:54.:48:57.

Belarus, for the semi-final number two, this is Teo and his Sweet Close

:48:58.:49:01.

cheese! # When you called me

:49:02.:49:13.

"my sweet cheesecake" # I'm not gonna be your boyfriend

:49:14.:49:36.

It's too late # I look over Google Maps

:49:37.:49:38.

trying to escape # Cos I'm tired of being

:49:39.:49:41.

your sweet cheesecake # I don't wanna be your toy

Next, Macedonia and my friend, Tianna.

:52:30.:52:35.

She said to me, as I said, here is Tijana. She told me that.

:52:36.:52:42.

She is a little scary. She is a powerful woman. She made me

:52:43.:52:52.

wear her glasses. Saying it gives one a brighter perspective on life.

:52:53.:52:57.

This is Tijana, To The Sky. # I've got a feeling

:52:58.:53:04.

that I wanna go loud # I've got a feeling

:53:05.:53:11.

that I wanna go wild # Take my hand, baby

:53:12.:53:20.

I got all night # To the stars, shine so bright

:53:21.:53:24.

Into the sky # I've got the feeling

:53:25.:53:49.

that I need you all time # You make me free

:53:50.:54:19.

and that's why you're all mine # I've got a feeling

:54:20.:54:22.

that we both could shine # To the stars, shine so bright

:54:23.:54:24.

Into the sky # Now I don't wanna live without you

:54:25.:54:49.

for another day # And if I've said it twice

:54:50.:54:52.

it means that you will have to stay # You better hold me, dance me

:54:53.:54:56.

Sway like this forever # Hold me now

:54:57.:55:01.

cos I can't stop it now # To the stars, shine so bright

:55:02.:55:21.

Into the sky # To the stars, shine so bright

:55:22.:55:48.

Into the sky did drive here to the arena with her

:55:49.:56:14.

window open and her hair down. Tom says that those are some ear rings,

:56:15.:56:19.

Pat Butcher is boarding a flight to Denmark as we speak. So, that was

:56:20.:56:28.

Macedonia, Tijana. Next we are going to Sebalter of Switzerland. Now this

:56:29.:56:33.

is the only second Eurovision Song Contest entry to feature from

:56:34.:56:37.

Switzerland. Where is the white cross? Oh, well.

:56:38.:56:49.

So, Sebalter, yes it is the second song to feature. I see what he has

:56:50.:57:01.

done there, clever! Best lyrics, I fear your judgment, I am dirty. Here

:57:02.:57:06.

is Sebalter with Hunter Of Stars. # You have an option

:57:07.:57:12.

Only one choice # Sipping my drink

:57:13.:57:18.

Looking around # There is so much beauty

:57:19.:57:20.

Oh, yes we can # But yet self-confidence

:57:21.:57:23.

is a fragile concept # And there it comes

:57:24.:57:25.

That unwanted guest # Want me to go

:57:26.:57:31.

Want me to go # Cos you think I'm lying

:57:32.:57:36.

Cos you think I'm lying # Cos tonight I cannot

:57:37.:57:39.

go hunting for stars, no no # Twisting the truth

:57:40.:57:46.

then leaving us alone # In this mad and moody world

:57:47.:58:01.

Society without love # And I state my heart

:58:02.:58:06.

has been well-trained # I am the hunter

:58:07.:58:09.

You are the prey # Want me to go

:58:10.:58:14.

Want me to go # Cos you think I'm lying

:58:15.:58:19.

Cos you think I'm lying # Cos tonight I cannot

:58:20.:58:23.

go hunting for stars # It's raining outside

:58:24.:58:29.

It's raining outside # Roar like a lion

:58:30.:58:34.

Roar like a lion # But I fear your judgement

:58:35.:58:40.

I fear your judgement # But I fear your judgement

:58:41.:58:43.

I fear your judgement # Want me to go

:58:44.:58:48.

Want me to go # Cos you think I'm lying

:58:49.:59:16.

Cos you think I'm lying # Cos tonight I cannot

:59:17.:59:19.

go hunting for stars, no no # Cos you think I'm lying

:59:20.:59:24.

Cos you think I'm lying # Cos tonight I cannot

:59:25.:59:28.

go hunting for stars, no no # Cos you think I'm lying

:59:29.:59:33.

Cos you think I'm lying # Cos tonight I cannot

:59:34.:59:39.

go hunting for stars, no no. # WHISTLING

Sebalter from Switzerland. He did teach me how to whistle a few days

Kovac. This song is called Round and Round. This is the one with the

:06:34.:07:22.

flute. She calls herself, if you are ready for this, the flute professor.

:07:23.:07:30.

But gone bad! She thought that the act was too clean, so she wanted to

:07:31.:07:37.

add some dirt to it. So, watch out for Tinkara Kovac and Round and

:32:48.:32:50.

votes to come in, we have one more thing we would like to show you. The

:32:51.:32:55.

tag line of the Eurovision Song Contest this year is join us. That

:32:56.:33:01.

is why we asked all of you guys out there to send you a video dancing.

:33:02.:33:09.

We have received thousands of great videos. We ended up in fighting the

:33:10.:33:14.

26 most charismatic dancers to join us on stage tonight. One of them is

:33:15.:33:18.

this sweet little girl, Megan, from Ireland. She is from County Wicklow,

:33:19.:33:27.

my hometown! She is eight years old, and she is first on stage. Please

:33:28.:33:32.

give her a big round of applause. There is also a dance on stage

:33:33.:33:39.

called Glen, from Wales. Keep an eye out for him, he's got some moves.

:33:40.:34:51.

This is Glen, who we were talking about. He has a show that runs all

:34:52.:35:08.

year around, dedicated to Eurovision. That's hard-core

:35:09.:35:09.

dedication! So, we have got lots of tweets

:35:10.:35:37.

coming in. One from Lewis. Just for the parachute dude that loves life.

:35:38.:35:39.

Loving a bit of Georgia, there! Another unhappy camper. That was

:35:40.:35:58.

subtle, pushing Britain with Australia! What are you doing?

:35:59.:36:05.

We have a tweet from Maria White. If thin and don't make it in, it's a

:36:06.:36:13.

travesty. Best actor of the night. I'm liking this lady on stage, one

:36:14.:36:17.

of the oldest to dancers on stage. She is loving life! Look at her go.

:36:18.:36:22.

I love her. What is she doing? Lying down.

:36:23.:36:34.

Another tweet, Belarus is my favourite underdog, it's nothing to

:36:35.:36:40.

do with my love of cheesecake! Mine neither.

:36:41.:36:58.

Thank you very much to the great dancers from all over Europe. Now,

:36:59.:37:04.

the competition is coming to a close. We are just about to close

:37:05.:37:08.

the phone lines, so hurry up if you want to vote one more time and help

:37:09.:37:11.

your favourite song make it through to the grand final on Saturday. Only

:37:12.:37:16.

:37:17.:37:20.

-- lines. So, that is it, the lines are

:37:21.:37:40.

closed, please do not call any more, your votes will not account and you

:37:41.:37:44.

may still be charged. The lines are now closed. We have seen all 15

:37:45.:37:50.

countries perform. We will dissect all of that in a minute. Eurovision

:37:51.:37:54.

is home to one of the most top-secret, elite clubs in the

:37:55.:37:58.

world. Because I am a veteran, I gave Laura a bit of an inside. Where

:37:59.:38:12.

are we? Shh! Seriously. You been here a few days, I need to tell you

:38:13.:38:18.

what is going on. You are stood in the secret meeting place of

:38:19.:38:22.

Eurovision Club. It's like fight club, but they have changed one

:38:23.:38:27.

word. Does that mean you are going to give me a Chinese learn? No, but

:38:28.:38:31.

there are rules you need to abide by. I have been doing this for ages,

:38:32.:38:39.

but you need to learn. What are the rules? You always talk about

:38:40.:38:45.

Eurovision. I'm sure I'll be doing a lot of that. Number two, you only

:38:46.:38:51.

talk about Eurovision. I got back the first time. You need to take

:38:52.:38:59.

this more seriously. You need to know your trivia, not just what

:39:00.:39:06.

colour outfit Belgium war in 1985, blue, obviously, I am talking about

:39:07.:39:10.

niche. Do you mind passing me the mill? Do you know that two of the

:39:11.:39:17.

Russians in 2012 were milkmaids before they did Eurovision, one of

:39:18.:39:22.

which was the oldest entry in Eurovision. Until 2013, they had a

:39:23.:39:30.

double bass player aged 95. Not bad. Vilna before, anything goes,

:39:31.:39:39.

including your dignity. -- rule number four. The kitchen, pays,

:39:40.:39:41.

snacks for later. I see you are enjoying the

:39:42.:39:56.

hospitality. Thank you very much, I don't mind if I do. Rule number

:39:57.:40:03.

five, one of the original, founding rules, you need to get yourself

:40:04.:40:05.

invited to a Eurovision party. I've definitely done that. Rule six

:40:06.:40:21.

is not as easy, the days leading up to the final full on. You need the

:40:22.:40:26.

ability to stay awake for days. Here is your schedule. Thanks. When do I

:40:27.:40:39.

get a day off? 20 copies, please. Do you need any help carrying it to

:40:40.:40:45.

your friends? They are all for me. Coffee breath, do you want a mint?

:40:46.:40:50.

The last rule, whatever you do, just try to blend in. If you can't beat

:40:51.:40:59.

them, you might as well join them. Looking good, Lance. But I have some

:41:00.:41:05.

tea? Yes, I so blend in. Look at that picture, that would be nice in

:41:06.:41:11.

my flat. Did you not listened to rule one and two? You only talk

:41:12.:41:14.

about Eurovision! Forget it. Right, so, I have with me Doctor

:41:15.:41:25.

Eurovision, now with a Eurovision hand injury. You were not meant to

:41:26.:41:32.

mention that, I was running on the Ukrainian hamster wheel. And

:41:33.:41:45.

Christina from Cake To Bake. What do we think, generally, as a show? I

:41:46.:41:54.

really liked it. I really loved it. I love the stage, they are working

:41:55.:42:00.

really good. I'm proud of them. Who was your favourite? My favourite was

:42:01.:42:04.

the first one. # I'm coming home! # My favourite

:42:05.:42:16.

was Poland. Great entertainers. They have a very

:42:17.:42:20.

interesting Eurovision history. Their 20th anniversary. They for a

:42:21.:42:27.

few years. What did you like about Poland? I just saw a lot of

:42:28.:42:35.

boobies. Our children not watching? It is an interesting way to show, if

:42:36.:42:40.

all of their girls are like that, it would be interesting to see them.

:42:41.:42:45.

They were doing Polish chores, like churning butter. I'm a woman, I know

:42:46.:42:53.

with a big chest it is hard, if you have that... Anyway! You didn't make

:42:54.:42:59.

it through, we were gutted that Cake To Bake didn't go through. Have you

:43:00.:43:10.

got over your disappointment? Myself, I didn't feel disappointed,

:43:11.:43:15.

I felt really good about it. I did it 150%. I gave it all on stage. I

:43:16.:43:21.

just love that. Have you ditched your cupcake fat? I have four of

:43:22.:43:38.

them. -- cupcake hat. We haven't had any body on a show that has been

:43:39.:43:42.

knocked out. Did you feel really gutted? It was a weird feeling, you

:43:43.:43:46.

know? I felt we were going to qualify, because of all of the

:43:47.:43:53.

singing, the huge choir. In the UK, it was crazy. My friends were

:43:54.:43:59.

writing to me. I was like, seriously, what is happening? It's a

:44:00.:44:05.

shame they couldn't vote. I know you must get a lot of cake because of

:44:06.:44:09.

the song, I got you something savoury from the garage. It is an

:44:10.:44:19.

actual loaf. Honestly, the garage opposite our hotel is amazing.

:44:20.:44:24.

They've got at Cellucci everything, including fresh bread. Everybody has

:44:25.:44:30.

been talking about the bearded lady, Conchita Wurst. What were your

:44:31.:44:35.

thoughts? Me and her, we are friends. Before this? We met in

:44:36.:44:40.

Latvia when she was there to perform. I just started talking to

:44:41.:44:47.

her. Sorry, bread is going everywhere. We were talking, and

:44:48.:44:50.

now, yes, when we didn't qualify, she was here. She came to me, I

:44:51.:45:01.

said, my sister said, now you want to come for this one? I was, like,

:45:02.:45:08.

are you OK? I hope she's going to qualify. Are you going to hang out

:45:09.:45:13.

now? We'll see, if she is going to be busy. The thoughts on the

:45:14.:45:25.

circular piano? Interesting. Paula is the singer who represented her

:45:26.:45:31.

country with that song back in 2010, and with the singer, OVI. They came

:45:32.:45:37.

third then. But for me, I am watching Ireland. The reigning

:45:38.:45:42.

Eurovision Song Contest champions, seven wins and the legend that is

:45:43.:45:46.

Niamh Kavanagh, who came back for them. So all eyes on them.

:45:47.:45:51.

They have the Irish dancers. Loads of Irish here and they like to

:45:52.:45:54.

party. Who is not going through tonight,

:45:55.:45:59.

before we see the results? I would like to say Tijana. I don't know. It

:46:00.:46:04.

is hard to say it is very difficult to tell in here but she did not

:46:05.:46:11.

sound that in tune. Yeah, she did not sing that well.

:46:12.:46:15.

Let's get the results. We have the found the first ten

:46:16.:46:21.

finalists. In a few minutes, we announce the next ten songs to have

:46:22.:46:24.

made it through on Saturday. In addition to this, six contestants

:46:25.:46:29.

have qualified. The big five, which are: United Kingdom, Spain, Germany,

:46:30.:46:37.

France, and also Italy and of course the winner of last year's

:46:38.:46:40.

competition, Denmark! Go Molly!

:46:41.:46:56.

# You can't go on # If you say yes, or even no

:47:49.:47:54.

# You don't know how # And where to go

:47:55.:47:59.

# Is it right # Or is it wrong

:48:00.:48:02.

# I can't go on # You can't go on

:48:03.:48:07.

# If you say yes, or even no # You don't know how

:48:08.:48:20.

# And where to go. My friends, the Twin Twin.

:48:21.:48:26.

# Remoustache # I want another moustache

:48:27.:48:40.

#. # She walked the room

:48:41.:49:17.

# I know it's hard to get # She's a special girl

:49:18.:49:24.

# Oh, # It feels like I love you

:49:25.:49:34.

# I want to please you, baby # I love you

:49:35.:49:44.

# And I can please you, baby. #

:49:45.:49:46.

APPLAUSE. OK, ladies and gentlemen, not long

:49:47.:49:50.

now until your votes have been counted and added to the points

:49:51.:49:55.

given from the national juryis. Lise, are we set and ready to go?

:49:56.:50:01.

Well, Nikolaj, I promise you I will find out. Hello, Julla, you are in

:50:02.:50:07.

charge of the voting process? That's right.

:50:08.:50:13.

You know what, I newelally know everything about you too. You do? I

:50:14.:50:18.

do. OK. I know now you are going to tell me

:50:19.:50:22.

that the results are not ready? That is right. We should have been ready

:50:23.:50:27.

by now with the counting and the calculating of the votes but I need

:50:28.:50:30.

another minute or two. I knew it.

:50:31.:50:35.

It makes sense. So, in the meantime, I will give you a little extra time

:50:36.:50:42.

and now let's all enjoy another Eurovision book of records.

:50:43.:50:52.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, let's enjoy a look at all of the

:50:53.:50:56.

songs again! What do you say, Europe? ! Here they are.

:50:57.:51:11.

:51:37.:51:45.

# Looking for a home # I hope that someone's gonna find

:51:46.:51:50.

# Looking for a home # And say that I belong

:51:51.:51:54.

:55:50.:55:56.

was a recap of the semi-finalists. Only ten of the amazing songs make

:55:57.:56:01.

it to the final on Saturday. You have a little time, so tell me,

:56:02.:56:06.

are the results ared? Lise, we have a valid result.

:56:07.:56:11.

That is such good news. Let's get to it, then. Give a big hand to the

:56:12.:56:21.

boss! Finally, we have the green light from the big boss, so let's

:56:22.:56:25.

get to it. This is the moment we have all been waiting for. This is

:56:26.:56:30.

it. We are about to find out which ten countries go through to the

:56:31.:56:34.

final on Saturday. We will announce the ten countries in a random order.

:56:35.:56:42.

Here we go. So, let's get to it, the first

:56:43.:56:54.

country is... Switzerland! Switzerland. And my good friend

:56:55.:57:00.

Sebalter. A big, big fan of Switzerland.

:57:01.:57:04.

We will see you in the final. The second finalist is... Slovenia!

:57:05.:57:16.

Slovenia is through with Round and Round.

:57:17.:57:20.

Of course, Slovenia have qualified for the final twice out of ten. So

:57:21.:57:24.

they will be delighted with that result.

:57:25.:57:32.

The next country is... Poland! A popular vote there, Poland. Donatan

:57:33.:57:36.

Cleo and of course the lovely backing dancers. They competed in

:57:37.:57:41.

nine semi-finals and qualified once in 2008. So they are fairly excited.

:57:42.:57:46.

The fourth country to make it through is... Romania! Romania,

:57:47.:57:54.

Paula Seling OVI and of course the circular piano. Romania has a 100%

:57:55.:58:00.

success rate. That is keeping it up nice and high.

:58:01.:58:14.

The next finalist is... Norway! Carl Espen and his Silent Storm.

:58:15.:58:20.

They have qualified four times. They are delighted to be through.

:58:21.:58:34.

Country number six is... Greece! Greece, featuring risk risk risk and

:58:35.:58:44.

Freaky Fortune. They have qualified to the final.

:58:45.:58:55.

The next country is... Malta! Malta are through with Firelight. They

:58:56.:58:59.

have competed in eight semi-finals and qualified four times.

:59:00.:59:07.

So, through for the fifth time. Eight countries are still hoping to

:59:08.:59:11.

get their ticket to the final. But only three spots remain.

:59:12.:59:25.

Georgia there, looking anxious. The eighth final is... Belarus!

:59:26.:59:35.

Belarus, there. Big congratulations to Teo and his Cheesecake. They only

:59:36.:59:39.

qualified for the final three times in ten attempts.

:59:40.:59:47.

The next country you voted for... Finland! Congratulations to Finland.

:59:48.:59:55.

They are very popular here. Out of ten semi-finals, they have failed to

:59:56.:00:02.

qualify four times. Qualified five and of course the host nation in the

:00:03.:00:06.

past. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the

:00:07.:00:09.

last finalist. It is getting real now. One more,

:00:10.:00:14.

Conchita is there. This is big. This is really big.

:00:15.:00:38.

The tenth finalist is... Austria! And Austria is through. Conchita is

:00:39.:00:43.

through. Conchita Wurst is through. A very popular decision.

:00:44.:00:57.

Congratulations to all those through and hard luck to those who have not.

:00:58.:01:02.

We now have the finalists. We now have the finalists.

:01:03.:01:08.

voted for. I'm sure that they are looking forward to singing in the

:01:09.:01:13.

final. Having heard the songs, I say, Pilou, it will be a really

:01:14.:01:15.

tough say, Pilou, it will be a really

:01:16.:01:19.

for the viewers on Saturday. So, let's enjoy the ten fantastic

:01:20.:01:24.

tinilyists that we have found tonight, one more time.

:01:25.:01:36.

-- finalists. # I'm coming home

:01:37.:01:44.

# Yeah, I'm coming home. # I'll wait forever and a lifetime

:01:45.:01:52.

# And there's a sun and star beside me.

:01:53.:01:58.

# This is our nation # This is our call

:01:59.:02:11.

# This is our heart, Slavica. Fly like a Phoenix

:02:12.:02:17.

# Out of the ashes. # Should let go. I'm trying to just

:02:18.:02:42.

be cheesecake. # Want me to go, want me to go

:02:43.:02:49.

# Cos you think I'm lying, cos you think I'm lying.

:02:50.:02:54.

# # Come on and rise up. Well, what a

:02:55.:03:04.

blast. Thank you for being with me. Scott will be staying with you for a

:03:05.:03:08.

while. But from me in Copenhagen, it is goodbye. Over to you, Scott.

:03:09.:03:38.

# It's a miracle. Ladies and gentlemen, take a look at them, one

:03:39.:03:44.

of them may just win the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest,

:03:45.:03:49.

2014. You can see a full list of the country is on your screen right now.

:03:50.:03:54.

We hope you have all had a great evening. We will see you again for

:03:55.:04:00.

the Grand Final on Saturday. See you Saturday! Good night,

:04:01.:04:02.

Europe. So, we have the finalists, let's ask

:04:03.:04:09.

our expert, what did you think of that. Sneaky, leaving Conchita until

:04:10.:04:16.

the last? She is an amazing singer. No Ireland this year. The first time

:04:17.:04:22.

that they have failed to make it through to 2010.

:04:23.:04:26.

Niamh Kavanagh made it through then. And no Israel. Dana International

:04:27.:04:31.

brought it back for them in 2011. There have been a few surprises.

:04:32.:04:36.

Slovenia was a surprise. They have not made it through for a few years,

:04:37.:04:39.

since 2011. Thank you very much for the expert

:04:40.:04:44.

advice. Remember, the final of the Eurovision Song Contest, 2014, is on

:04:45.:04:52.

BBC One, 8.00pm on Saturday night with Graham Norton. Good night.
