:00:07. > :00:26.MUSIC: Te Deum - Marc-Antoine Charpentier

:00:27. > :00:37.This is it. The waiting is over. Good evening to everybody back in

:00:38. > :00:42.United Kingdom. May I bid you a warm welcome to the grand final of the

:00:43. > :00:51.62nd Eurovision Song Contest. We're coming to you live from Ukraine. I

:00:52. > :00:57.should tell you, those aren't balls that boy is throwing, no, that's a

:00:58. > :01:00.load of old beads. Traditional Ukrainian beads. They are bouncing

:01:01. > :01:04.around the country showing you all the different sorts of people who

:01:05. > :01:05.live in this place, because the theme this year is celebrate

:01:06. > :01:29.diversity. That's where we are. Kiev. It's

:01:30. > :01:36.chicken Kyiv. I had some for my dinner tonight. I feel like I've

:01:37. > :01:40.drunk a pint of butter. We can promise you a cracking Eurovision

:01:41. > :01:46.tonight. There are some classic moments. In the last few years the

:01:47. > :01:53.semifinals have weeded out some of the Euro lunacy. But not this year!

:01:54. > :01:57.And there they are. Nine and a half thousand fans inside the

:01:58. > :02:02.International exhibition Centre in Kiev. It's a grey, damp night

:02:03. > :02:09.outside, so there is a slight smell of wet dog in the arena. This is a

:02:10. > :02:17.new tradition, the flag procession. Where all the countries present

:02:18. > :02:21.themselves before they perform. 26 countries will perform this evening.

:02:22. > :02:26.Selected from the semifinals. Tonight, they are performing for

:02:27. > :02:30.your votes at home. But if you remember from last year, they've

:02:31. > :02:34.introduced this new way of delivering the results, which makes

:02:35. > :02:42.it much more exciting. The jury is around Europe watched... The man is

:02:43. > :02:47.talking... The grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest. I told them

:02:48. > :02:58.that, they know what we're watching. Here we go... And there is the

:02:59. > :02:59.first. IMRI for Israel. The professional juries have already

:03:00. > :03:01.scored the songs. For the UK our jury

:03:02. > :03:03.members were Mary Hammond, Roxanne Heydaree,

:03:04. > :03:15.Jay London, Kipper Eldridge, We thank them for their time,

:03:16. > :03:19.patience and expertise. The phone vote will be tallied separately and

:03:20. > :03:23.added to the jury vote. Two different ways. Jury vote first,

:03:24. > :03:28.then everything can change as the popular vote is added. There is a

:03:29. > :03:32.short video on the BBC website that explains how it all works a lot

:03:33. > :03:39.better than I just did. There is a whole world of Eurovision on the

:03:40. > :03:44.website. You can also follow the action with us on Twitter and

:03:45. > :03:50.Facebook. Let us know what you're up to so I can give you a shout out

:03:51. > :03:53.later. Either way, for anyone partying and playing along, there is

:03:54. > :03:55.a scorecard for tonight's final, which you can print off, on our

:03:56. > :04:08.website. Everyone's been really delighted by

:04:09. > :04:14.the atmosphere here in Kiev, because it was quite a tens lead up to this

:04:15. > :04:18.contest this year. Quite political. Of course, it ended with Russia

:04:19. > :04:25.deciding to withdraw from the competition. You can see where their

:04:26. > :04:28.votes go. That is Francesco Gabbani from Italy, he was the bookies

:04:29. > :04:35.favourite, slightly skipping down the odds now. There were also

:04:36. > :04:38.technical difficulties putting the show won, but they seem to be

:04:39. > :04:43.overcome. It's actually a really slick show tonight, as you can see,

:04:44. > :04:48.the staging is spectacular. Salvador from Portugal. Who is the new

:04:49. > :04:58.bookies favourite. I'll tell you more about him later.

:04:59. > :05:10.Croatia! That's a Eurovision moment right there. I've seen quite a few

:05:11. > :05:22.union Jacks in the crowd. There is the BBC delegation. Hello!

:05:23. > :05:30.Australia! Isaiah from Australia, one of three performers just 17

:05:31. > :05:35.years old. That Ukrainian producers have decided the running order

:05:36. > :05:39.tonight. And the good news is the UK are performing in 18th spot, which

:05:40. > :05:46.actually is really good, I think. And remember, 1997 was when we last

:05:47. > :05:56.won this. 20 years, what a lovely way to celebrate that anniversary.

:05:57. > :06:02.No pressure, Lucie. Talking of Lucie, she is up next. There's our

:06:03. > :06:07.girl, Lucie Jones. She has done a terrific job for us out here this

:06:08. > :06:12.week. She's won herself so many fans and after every performance, every

:06:13. > :06:20.rehearsal, the bookies odds have been cut and cut. I think she's

:06:21. > :06:23.really in with a shout... Lets say top ten, not dream too high. Working

:06:24. > :06:30.that camera. She's good, isn't she? There is the BBC delegation again.

:06:31. > :07:00.Germany! Belgium! Now, the Ukraine will be

:07:01. > :07:04.walking out last night as hosts, but the producers of the show decided

:07:05. > :07:08.the performance order and picked Ukraine's position out of a hat.

:07:09. > :07:15.They got 22, which is a very good position. What a lucky hat that

:07:16. > :07:27.turned into. Another one of the 17-year-olds. France! Tonight that

:07:28. > :07:37.will be some 26. But last out of the gates are the home team. Ukraine! A

:07:38. > :07:43.mighty cheer goes up for them. Well, that's it.

:07:44. > :07:50.Those are the 26 countries performing tonight. Please welcome

:07:51. > :07:57.your hosts... The theme is celebrating diverse city, so let's

:07:58. > :08:03.see who they've chosen to host. Oh, it's three white men. Well done.

:08:04. > :08:09.These guys are... Good evening Ukraine, Europe and

:08:10. > :08:10.beyond! Welcome friends near and far

:08:52. > :09:00.He said Vova. I can't mock the jackets because I've worn worse.

:09:01. > :09:02.Last year the mighty Ukrainian singer Jamala wowed Stockholm and

:09:03. > :09:04.has brought Eurovision here to Kiev for the first

:09:05. > :09:10.I can't believe that was 12 years ago.

:09:11. > :09:12.But even back then, the three of us were

:09:13. > :09:27.Certainly as cool... What? Oh no, oh my god. The quality of the comedy...

:09:28. > :09:30.Is what you'll be getting the rest of the evening.

:09:31. > :09:33.I think you're forgetting millions of people

:09:34. > :09:35.in America, China and everyone watching on the

:09:36. > :09:37.Timur is our Eurovision fact machine.

:09:38. > :09:39.That's like a love machine, but for facts.

:09:40. > :09:43.Tonight I'll be with the performers in the green room,

:09:44. > :09:46.bringing you closer to the artists - sharing the fun, excitement and

:09:47. > :09:52.Okay guys, see you on the other side!

:09:53. > :10:02.A well earned round of applause for Timur, he's been sparkling thus far.

:10:03. > :10:05.Tonight is the climax of a remarkable

:10:06. > :10:09.It began with a song, and it ends on this stage.

:10:10. > :10:16.But they're in the right place - because Eurovision has the best

:11:34. > :11:37.the same time, they've cracked that. The countdown to the vote is

:11:38. > :11:40.excellent. I should remind people many of tonight 's performances

:11:41. > :11:46.contain flashing images and strobe effects. So let's get this party

:11:47. > :11:51.started. First up, it Israel. His name is IMRI and he's singing a song

:11:52. > :11:57.called I Feel Alive. These postcards are designed to tell something about

:11:58. > :12:04.the act. IMRI goes to the gym. I would not have guessed that. This is

:12:05. > :12:09.a big night for IMRI. He was a backing singer only last year and

:12:10. > :12:13.tonight he is front and centre. It's actually a really fun, upbeat song.

:12:14. > :12:18.He's a very engaging, charismatic performer. But I fear performing

:12:19. > :12:25.first he may get lost. Here we go, first song of the Israel.

:12:26. > :12:27.# The secret of my life is never giving up

:12:28. > :12:35.# Walking through the stars brings me to the start

:12:36. > :12:41.# I was waiting way too much for something good to come

:12:49. > :13:03.# I wanted you to know that every piece broke from you

:13:04. > :13:37.# The years I've been alone far away from home

:13:38. > :13:50.# Baby, I can now escape away with you

:13:51. > :13:53.# I was waiting way too much for something good to come

:13:54. > :14:11.# I wanted you to know that every piece broke from you

:14:12. > :14:48.# Alive, alive, alive, oh

:14:49. > :15:06.# I wanted you to know that every piece broke from you

:15:07. > :15:32.It has begun. Some number one. IMRI representing Israel.

:15:33. > :15:39.Verka herself will be making an appearance later. So, to the dreaded

:15:40. > :15:46.second position, no-one has ever won in this position. Can Kasia Mos

:15:47. > :15:56.change this? She is representing Poland with her song, Flashlight.

:15:57. > :16:01.She has a dog shelter. She's also a pussy cat Dolman, with a burlesque

:16:02. > :16:06.show in Poland. This is her father, who is a conductor and I think her

:16:07. > :16:09.brother's a violinist, her mother is a violinist. They're all very keen

:16:10. > :16:14.with the fiddling. Her brother will be fiddling with her on stage

:16:15. > :16:29.tonight. Song number two for Poland.

:16:41. > :16:44.# Just two shadows in love we were ghosts

:16:45. > :16:52.# When we're together, we're untouchable

:16:53. > :17:20.# It's like a flashlight burning in our eyes

:17:21. > :17:27.# You call the dogs off, I got them hypnotized

:17:28. > :17:32.# You never catch us, take us by suprise

:17:33. > :17:36.# Running faster at the speed of light

:17:37. > :17:40.# Falling deeper, got you in the sight

:17:41. > :18:06.# We're shadows in love, we were ghosts

:19:25. > :19:28.Kasia Mos representing Poland. She looks exhausted. Thank you so much,

:19:29. > :19:32.I love you. That's good to know. No-one has won in the second

:19:33. > :19:38.position. Of course, being Poland it may change things. They have this

:19:39. > :19:41.huge diaspora, nearly 20 million Polish people live outside the

:19:42. > :19:44.country and can vote for Poland. Like last year they only got seven

:19:45. > :19:46.votes from the juries, but from the popular vote, they got 222. Quite

:19:47. > :20:01.the difference. This is Belarus. The band are

:20:02. > :20:03.Naviban. The song is Story of My Life. It's one of my favourites in

:20:04. > :20:07.the competition. It's a bit Mumford the competition. It's a bit Mumford

:20:08. > :20:11.Sons. Whoever has done the stage, however, oh, dear. For some reason,

:20:12. > :20:14.they're dressed like hippies at a wedding and someone stuck them in a

:20:15. > :20:17.boat. I fear they may sink without trace.

:20:18. > :20:35.Song number three for Belarus. # Kol'ki dzyon

:23:24. > :23:28.Oh, that wasn't there before, ladies and gentleman. I can apologise.

:23:29. > :23:31.Forget the strobing lights. She nearly went overboard. Oh, could

:23:32. > :23:35.they be from Britain. Possibly. What a happy crowd. I do like that song.

:23:36. > :23:46.It's a really good song. You never know, it might do well. It's already

:23:47. > :23:53.three years since Conchita Wurst won. Can Nathan Trent do the same.

:23:54. > :23:58.He's performing a song called Running on Air. Nathan Trent is his

:23:59. > :24:05.stage name. His real name is very difficult. A few people have been in

:24:06. > :24:14.touch. Alex, Kelly, and Eva, Robbie, Bev and Ann and the kids in Kent.

:24:15. > :24:19.And west Hollywood no less. And all the family in Ashford. Right now.

:24:20. > :24:24.Let's listen to song four, for Austria.

:24:25. > :24:47.# And I'll keep running as fast as I can

:27:10. > :27:17.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Nathan Trent there got the memo that

:27:18. > :27:23.more people have won wearing white than anybody else. All smiles now.

:27:24. > :27:34.But tomorrow he's got to lug that moon back to Vienna. Song number

:27:35. > :27:43.five is Armenia. The performer is called Artsvik. The song is Fly with

:27:44. > :27:50.Me. Armenia nearly always in the top ten, but they have never won.

:27:51. > :27:55.Tonight could change that. It's a real build of a song and she has got

:27:56. > :28:05.an extraordinary voice and real stage presence.

:28:06. > :28:26.# Take it from my heart it's gonna be your beat

:28:27. > :28:45.# Take it from my soul it's gonna be your heat

:31:16. > :31:18.I think that might do well. Really sincere passion and performance, it

:31:19. > :31:22.might just cut through in the way that Jamala did last year for

:31:23. > :31:29.Ukraine. Hope you're enjoying the show. You can get in touch on the

:31:30. > :31:33.BBC Eurovision social feeds, Twitter and Facebook. I should tell you the

:31:34. > :31:40.union Jack just fell off the war in the commentary booth. I hope it's

:31:41. > :31:44.not an omen. Time for song six. The Netherlands. These three girls form

:31:45. > :31:50.under the name OG3NE, it's written more complicated than that but

:31:51. > :31:53.that's how you say it. The song is Lights and Shadows. They are three

:31:54. > :31:59.sisters, two twins and the other one. Good game everyone. See if you

:32:00. > :32:04.can spot who's the other one. I got it wrong. A real family affair.

:32:05. > :32:08.Their father co-wrote the song and it's dedicated to their mother, who

:32:09. > :32:10.has been suffering from ill health. Some six, lots of close harmonies

:32:11. > :32:14.for the Netherlands. # It won't reach the corner

:36:16. > :36:22.We have fans from the Netherlands, Poland, Germany, all over the world.

:36:23. > :36:28.Guys, everyone should now tell me who is Ukrainian Brummie or you? So

:36:44. > :36:50.God, thank you so much. Thanks for chatting, guys. It was a great chat,

:36:51. > :36:54.it really was. Now a performance from Sunstroke Project.

:36:55. > :37:01.As the evening goes on I think those forays into the crowd are going to

:37:02. > :37:06.get more and more intense. Real crowd favourite now, song seven.

:37:07. > :37:10.Sunstroke Project are representing Moldova with their song Hey Mamma.

:37:11. > :37:16.If they look familiar it's because you may have seen them before, they

:37:17. > :37:20.represented Moldova in 2010. Back then they limped home in 20 Second

:37:21. > :37:25.Place but I think they might go a lot better tonight. It's a very fun,

:37:26. > :37:29.upbeat song. If they look like a wedding band it's because they more

:37:30. > :37:32.or less are. They do attract brides. There is a good costume thing in

:37:33. > :37:37.this which so far has never gone right. If you think my job's easy,

:37:38. > :37:40.check out the guy pretending to play the saxophone for three minutes.

:37:41. > :37:46.Song seven, Moldova. # You will never hide

:38:00. > :38:43.tonight with me. # Do

:38:44. > :38:46.what other guys did before. # It's your girl

:38:47. > :38:51.and maybe should sleep at home # She'll be back

:38:52. > :40:46.home till sunrise #. APPLAUSE

:40:47. > :40:57.CHEERING That is one rough wedding. Leave it,

:40:58. > :41:05.Shelley! You've had a lovely day! The crowd loving it, though. Big

:41:06. > :41:12.happy song for Moldova. Song seven. We move on to Joci Papai, singing a

:41:13. > :41:19.song called Origo. Representing Hungary. By the way, don't worry, he

:41:20. > :41:27.hasn't brought his mother 's ashes on stage with him. It is, in fact, a

:41:28. > :41:33.mini milk churn, which, who knew, can double as a musical instrument.

:41:34. > :41:37.Well, I say musical... By the weather hasn't been a stage

:41:38. > :41:38.invasion, the woman is a fully trained dancer, she is meant to be

:41:39. > :41:45.there. # Engem negyevesen

:44:02. > :44:55.a gitaromon The dancer trying to hide there. I

:44:56. > :44:59.wouldn't blame her. Song eight for Hungary. Next up is a song and nine.

:45:00. > :45:01.Last year we started a mini tradition. If you have a drink in

:45:02. > :45:08.front of you, be it wine, vodka, beer, cocoa, T, just a glass of

:45:09. > :45:13.water, why not raise it with me now and toast the memory of the late,

:45:14. > :45:20.great Sir Terry Wogan. The man who was and always will be the voice of

:45:21. > :45:26.Eurovision. Song nine is Italy. Francesco Gabbani. Occidentali's

:45:27. > :45:29.Karma is the title. It was absolutely the bookies favourite, it

:45:30. > :45:32.was going to win no doubt about it, because it had been a big radio hit

:45:33. > :45:37.all across Europe and tens of millions of YouTube hits on the

:45:38. > :45:40.music video. And it is a great, catchy song, however, they made the

:45:41. > :45:44.decision to include this... A gorilla. Inside Beckerman is Italy's

:45:45. > :45:50.leading choreographer. It is catchy. # Contemporaneo come

:45:51. > :45:56.l'uomo del neolitico # Nella tua gabbia

:45:57. > :46:07.2x3 mettiti comodo # Soci onorari al gruppo

:46:08. > :46:24.dei selfisti anonimi # Quando la vita si

:46:25. > :48:54.distrae cadono gli uomini CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:48:55. > :48:58.There it is. Will it be the winner? It might well be. If you're going to

:48:59. > :49:04.get someone to dress as a gorilla, at least get a decent outfit. That

:49:05. > :49:08.looked like a couple of old car seats sewn together. The crowd loved

:49:09. > :49:14.it. That song has been played all over Europe. Just a reminder that a

:49:15. > :49:22.number of tonight's performances contain flashing images and strobing

:49:23. > :49:29.effects. Next up, Denmark. Her name is Anja. She's the second Australian

:49:30. > :49:36.performing this evening. Anja was born and raised there and moved to

:49:37. > :49:43.Denmark, suspiciously recently. A few more shout out, Solihull, Renee

:49:44. > :49:49.in ox stead. Mark, Bailey and Madge in Wapping. And Andrew and Sebastien

:49:50. > :49:55.in southern France celebrating a wedding anniversary. Will Anja be

:49:56. > :50:01.celebrating later? Song ten for Denmark.

:50:02. > :50:07.# Always around, you're never holding me down

:50:08. > :50:25.# Putting up my walls so that I last better

:50:26. > :50:27.# Don't know why I do it because were together

:50:28. > :50:30.# Always holding back from you its on my mind

:50:31. > :50:33.# Tonight I'm gonna try for you real harder

:50:34. > :50:35.# Show you all the love I've held inside

:50:36. > :50:38.# Show you all the love I've held inside

:50:39. > :50:58.# Tonight I'm gonna hold you closer than before

:50:59. > :51:37.# Tonight I'm gonna hold you closer than before

:51:38. > :51:47.# Putting up my walls so that I last better

:52:04. > :52:19.# Tonight I'm gonna hold you closer than before

:52:20. > :52:58.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE We know where you are. We'll be in

:52:59. > :53:08.touch. Thank you Anja. That was Denmark. Song ten. Next up is

:53:09. > :53:16.Portugal. Now Portugal have never won and have been waiting 53 years,

:53:17. > :53:22.longer than any other country. But tonight, it is extremely likely that

:53:23. > :53:28.may change. This young man is called Salvador Sobral and the song is Amar

:53:29. > :53:31.Pelos Dois. It really is Marmite. It's not everyone's cup of tea. But

:53:32. > :53:38.the people who like it, absolutely love it. In a night of bells and

:53:39. > :53:43.whistles and gizmos and gimmicks, this is something completely

:53:44. > :53:47.different. It is very simple. It's a sort of nostalgic tune, like

:53:48. > :53:53.something from La La Land. He appears to be completely unfazed, a

:53:54. > :53:54.boy in his bedroom, singing a song written by his sister. Portugal,

:53:55. > :54:13.song 11. # Ouve as minhas preces

:54:14. > :54:55.# Peco que regresses # Ouve as minhas preces

:54:56. > :55:48.# Peco que regresses CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:55:49. > :57:03.Big reaction here. Is it endearing. Is it charming? Is

:57:04. > :57:07.it annoying? I Veer between the two. He's a lovely boy, Salvador Sobral.

:57:08. > :57:12.He's had a lot of health problems, but he could be tonight's champion.

:57:13. > :57:20.Just a quick thank you for our Eurovision fans. There is so much

:57:21. > :57:24.love in this room. Not for you Alex. We will come down to say hi to you

:57:25. > :57:30.very soon. Don't touch Alex's hair, it took nine hours to make it.

:57:31. > :57:34.Actually nine half. Stop! Here is one of our favourites. Dean says, I

:57:35. > :57:38.can't believe that in just a few hours, it will all be over and we

:57:39. > :57:46.will be wondering what to do with our lives. So will we. But for now.

:57:47. > :57:53.Yes you will. I wouldn't read all those tweets.

:57:54. > :58:06.Now it's Azerbaijan with Skeltons Yes, song 12, Dihaj and Skeltons.

:58:07. > :58:11.Azerbaijan always do very well. I'm sure they will tonight. The

:58:12. > :58:14.stageling, well, answers on a post card please. I read the lyrics to

:58:15. > :58:19.see if they would help me, they didn't. There's a chalk board, a

:58:20. > :58:22.ladder and a man with a horse's head on top of the ladder. You keep

:58:23. > :58:28.thinking, oh, this will make sense in a moment. No. It's three minutes.

:58:29. > :58:37.Really can't figure it out. I'm sure they will get lots of votes. Song

:58:38. > :58:53.12, Azerbaijan. # Standing in a mirror lane

:58:54. > :58:58.wondering what to do # Another day and gravity's got,

:58:59. > :59:03.got another hold of me # I never dreamed that this could be

:59:04. > :59:08.happening, not to me # But if he came falling down

:59:09. > :59:14.falling so hard, I started believing # (I can only

:59:15. > :59:39.trick you once, bad boy) # (Talk is cheap, don't speak

:59:40. > :59:45.in tongues, bad boy) # Drum drum

:59:46. > :59:49.drum, bring out the guns # (Drum drum drum, bring

:59:50. > :59:51.out the guns, bad boy) # The world is spinning

:59:52. > :00:04.faster by the minute # This bittersweet sensation got a,

:00:05. > :00:12.got another hold of me # Talk is cheap don't

:00:13. > :00:44.speak in tongues, bad boy # Drum drum drum, bring

:00:45. > :00:51.out the guns, bad boy # Talk is cheap, don't

:00:52. > :01:06.speak in tongues, bad boy # (Drum drum drum, bring out

:01:07. > :01:11.the guns, bad boy) # Fuss and fight won't

:01:12. > :01:16.get you tons, bad boy # (I can only

:01:17. > :01:20.trick you once, bad boy) # (Talk is cheap don't speak

:01:21. > :01:25.in tongues, bad boy) # (Drum drum drum, bring

:01:26. > :01:52.out the guns, bad boy) Azerbaijan, song 12. Answers on a

:01:53. > :01:57.postcard. She kindly gave us some personal chalk. I'll be bringing

:01:58. > :02:05.that home with me. Ladies and gentlemen if anyone's in the kitchen

:02:06. > :02:11.or upstairs, call them now. This is a classic moment of Eurovision Song

:02:12. > :02:16.Contest. His name is Jacques Houdek and his representing Croatia. When I

:02:17. > :02:20.heard the song on the CD I assumed it was a slightly mismatched do it.

:02:21. > :02:26.But, ironically for a man singing a song called My Friend, he doesn't

:02:27. > :02:31.appear to have any. So he's thingy it all himself. It is something to

:02:32. > :02:33.behold. I've seen it now about six times, I am not tired of it yet.

:02:34. > :02:58.It's genius. Song 13 for Croatia. There are only two ways to live your

:02:59. > :03:00.life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though

:03:01. > :03:02.everything is a miracle. # I pray you'll see the light

:03:03. > :03:43.and find your way # I pray you'll see the light

:03:44. > :05:49.and find your way Yes! You're watching the Eurovision

:05:50. > :05:54.Song Contest... I love that. You know he's done a version where he's

:05:55. > :06:03.half man half drag, he must have, surely! We are halfway, ladies and

:06:04. > :06:08.gentlemen, that was song 13 of 26. Song 14 is Australia, let's not get

:06:09. > :06:15.into it... His name is Isaiah and the song is Don't Come Easy. Now,

:06:16. > :06:23.this is a big deal for Isaiah, he's only 17 years old. He's never been

:06:24. > :06:30.to Europe before and this must be an intimidating experience for a young

:06:31. > :06:36.man like him. It's a catchy pop ballad. My one tip would be, don't

:06:37. > :06:39.start looking at his eyebrows or you won't be able to stop. Australia,

:06:40. > :06:42.song 14. # I can tell by your eyes

:06:43. > :06:48.you want more than this # But can we be much

:06:49. > :06:52.more beyond these sheets # I used to move in

:06:53. > :07:37.fast to erase my past # But it never works

:07:38. > :07:44.No it never lasts no # In my mind I gotta

:07:45. > :09:46.get things right APPLAUSE

:09:47. > :09:52.CHEERING Thank you so much, Europe. Thank

:09:53. > :09:57.you. That's Isaiah. I wish we could see more of Alex and Vova, we need

:09:58. > :10:02.some more. The incredible Isaiah

:10:03. > :10:06.Firebrace from Australia. Still to come,

:10:07. > :10:10.a giant head, glittery cannons and a conveyor

:10:11. > :10:26.belt full of Swedes! Is saying Swedes, not sweets. Timur!

:10:27. > :10:31.I know what you're thinking, why am I in a hot tub of the future? This

:10:32. > :10:45.is the green room. The books are equipped with comfortable seating,

:10:46. > :10:47.nibbles... The contest began with seven nations. Give yourselves a

:10:48. > :10:51.cheer. Did they? It's sort of blank verse,

:10:52. > :11:04.it's rather beautiful. I hope you have some

:11:05. > :11:07.good karma tonight! And here is the Netherlands -

:11:08. > :11:09.Can OG3NE's perfect harmonies

:11:10. > :11:16.win them the perfect We'll see. Anyway, girls, good luck.

:11:17. > :11:24.Tonight we have some Eurovision firsts. Belarus... They are singing

:11:25. > :11:31.in Belarus for the first time in Eurovision history. Thank you guys

:11:32. > :11:37.for flying in to see us. And here is the first Roma to represent Hungary.

:11:38. > :11:41.Good luck to you, Joci Papai. Here everyone is free to cut loose and

:11:42. > :11:44.express themselves however they wish, they don't even have to wear

:11:45. > :11:49.shoes, there have been five barefoot winners in Eurovision history. It's

:11:50. > :11:58.all about exposure. In 1981 the UK act boxes stunned viewers with their

:11:59. > :12:07.rip away skirts. Heap mispronounced that in rehearsal, I was set to

:12:08. > :12:12.apologise. -- Bucks Fizz. I don't know what they are paying Timur,

:12:13. > :12:18.it's not enough. He's really working hard. We've already enjoyed 14 act

:12:19. > :12:25.that the Eurovision grand final. The standard has been incredible. Such a

:12:26. > :12:28.wonderful crowd in here tonight! Especially the amazing energy coming

:12:29. > :12:32.from you guys in the front row. Really! So now, please put your

:12:33. > :12:46.hands together for the enchanting Demy from Greece! Kumar shout outs.

:12:47. > :12:49.The Lord Mayor of Manchester himself and his lady may arrest are enjoying

:12:50. > :12:59.Eurovision. Lauren, Lloyd and the gang are

:13:00. > :13:05.cheering on Lucie. This lady is Demy, representing Greece with her

:13:06. > :13:11.song This is Love. It's a great big... Well, sort of disco ballad.

:13:12. > :13:19.It's got lots of things that you row fans will enjoy. Beautiful singer

:13:20. > :13:26.must Tom King disco beat. -- Eurofans. And 2/2 naked men

:13:27. > :13:33.splashing around in a paddling pool. Song 15, Greece.

:13:34. > :13:40.# Holding on to what we had can be so complicated

:13:41. > :13:42.# Could be time to move along

:13:43. > :13:50.# Watched the river running dry

:13:51. > :14:19.# How I want you here for ever and ever

:14:20. > :14:34.# You and me as one everywhere

:14:35. > :15:02.# Holding on to what we had can be so self-destroying

:15:03. > :15:04.# Remember how we laughed and played around

:15:05. > :15:32.# How I want you here for ever and ever

:15:33. > :15:51.# You and me as one everywhere

:15:52. > :16:22.# You and me as one everywhere

:16:23. > :16:33.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Oh, poor thing. I think nerves may

:16:34. > :16:39.have got to her. She's certainly performed it better than that in

:16:40. > :16:42.rehearsal. But still it's a big old stomping dance number. Maybe it

:16:43. > :16:48.won't affect her votes. The next of the big five. They are of course,

:16:49. > :16:55.Italy, Spain, France, and the UK. And Germany. They get an automatic

:16:56. > :17:02.pass into the Grand Final. In this case it's probably quite lucky. His

:17:03. > :17:08.name is Manel Navarro. The song is Do It For Your Lover.

:17:09. > :17:14.It's a kind of relaxed siesta, cute song. They've given it a Californian

:17:15. > :17:32.beach feel, which doesn't quite seem to fit. Song 16, Spain.

:17:33. > :17:37.# A veces cuesta decir todo lo que uno piensa

:17:38. > :17:42.# A veces la vida causa estragos sin que te des cuenta

:17:43. > :17:48.# A veces parece que es como una melodia

:17:49. > :17:53.# Frustrada y perdida no nos deja ver la luz del dia

:17:54. > :17:57.# Do it for your lover, do it for your lover, baby

:17:58. > :18:02.# Do it for your lover, do it for your lover, baby

:18:03. > :18:10.# Do it for your lover, do it for your lover

:18:11. > :18:17.# Do it for those you ever care and love

:18:18. > :18:56.# Do it for your lover, do it for your lover, baby

:18:57. > :19:01.# Do it for your lover, do it for your lover, baby

:19:02. > :19:06.# Do it for your lover, do it for your lover

:19:07. > :19:16.# Do it for those you ever care and love

:19:17. > :19:39.# Just do it, just do it, just do it for your lover

:19:40. > :19:49.# Do it for your lover, do it for your lover, baby

:19:50. > :19:55.# Do it for your lover, do it for your lover

:19:56. > :20:11.# Do it for those you ever care and love

:20:12. > :20:37.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Some dodgy notes in there. I wonder

:20:38. > :20:41.if there's something going wrong technically. Or maybe he's just not

:20:42. > :20:46.great. If he's got a lover and she's a music fan, yeah, maybe single now.

:20:47. > :20:51.If you just joined us, you haven't missed Lucie Jones yet. She's flying

:20:52. > :21:07.the flag for the UK in one song's time. This is song 17, Norway. JOWST

:21:08. > :21:15.is the name of the singer. He stepped into the breech when the

:21:16. > :21:21.original singer came to his senses. He's wearing a mask on stage.

:21:22. > :21:25.Alexander is singing it. The song is called Grab the Moment. We just have

:21:26. > :21:28.to get through this and then we have Lucie. All right, hold hands, deep

:21:29. > :21:39.breaths. Here we go. # They read me

:21:40. > :21:41.like a book that is open # While punching on a

:21:42. > :21:43.bag and I'm choking # I'm looking for a sign

:21:44. > :21:46.while they're stepping on my mind # But I hide behind

:21:47. > :21:48.a simpleminded notion # Feeling like a fool

:21:49. > :21:52.that was chosen # Really need to get

:21:53. > :21:58.that good vibe going # I'm gonna kill that

:21:59. > :22:12.voice in my head # I'm gonna kill that

:22:13. > :22:21.voice in my head # Getting kinda heavy

:22:22. > :22:39.on my shoulders # Try to stand straight

:22:40. > :22:41.but I'm boneless # Got a pocketful of prose

:22:42. > :22:44.while I'm walking on my toes # And I'm coping with

:22:45. > :22:46.a map that is roadless # I'm quiet in a corner

:22:47. > :22:50.seeking action # I wanna be bold but

:22:51. > :22:52.I'm only getting old # I need to stop drowning

:22:53. > :22:55.in distractions # I better get

:22:56. > :23:00.that good vibe buzzing # I'm gonna kill that

:23:01. > :23:07.voice in my head # I'm gonna kill that

:23:08. > :23:16.voice in my head # There's a calling

:23:17. > :23:44.for that leap # There's a fire

:23:45. > :24:01.in my soul # I'm gonna kill that

:24:02. > :24:05.voice in my head # I'm gonna kill that

:24:06. > :24:30.voice in my head CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:24:31. > :24:39.Thank you so much Europe. I love you. Thank you. That went well in

:24:40. > :24:42.the hall. Oh. Just when we were enjoying ourselves.

:24:43. > :24:43.So Vova, we have hosted two semifinals

:24:44. > :24:46.and now we are going into the Grand Final.

:24:47. > :24:50.I can't believe it is going this well.

:24:51. > :24:53.Not bad if you consider that three weeks ago, I was trying

:24:54. > :24:59.to learn English by watching Friends.

:25:00. > :25:02.And Timur took lessons from Vitali Klitschko.

:25:03. > :25:13.Yes, that is the real Vitali Klitschko. He's the mayor of Kiev.

:25:14. > :25:17.It came from a multi-talented Eurovision

:25:18. > :25:20.star, a man so cool he makes James Bond seem shy and awkward.

:25:21. > :25:32.Comedy alert, ladies and gentleman: Eurovision Song Contest, we are now,

:25:33. > :25:43.welcome peoples of the world. That's really good television presenting.

:25:44. > :25:48.Mans, what are you doing here? As the host of the highly successful

:25:49. > :25:52.2016 Eurovision Song Contest. I wondered if you guys wanted any

:25:53. > :25:58.tips.. Thanks, we got this. Sure, sure. Presenting a live show to over

:25:59. > :26:07.200 million viewers, interacting with 42 countries while dealing

:26:08. > :26:09.with... The unexpected. Whilst still smiling and delivering factual

:26:10. > :26:25.information. It's easy. You don't need me. Mans, maybe a few tips

:26:26. > :26:30.wouldn't hurt. Good morning Europe, whatever happens a Eurovision host

:26:31. > :26:36.must always stay happy and positive. Your house burned down. That's

:26:37. > :26:40.brilliant. OK. Keep the action going even if you're in pain. Work on your

:26:41. > :26:46.cover laugh. LAUGHTER

:26:47. > :26:56.So much to do. You're strong, reliable, you're the world's best

:26:57. > :27:00.friend. You're dancers. There is nothing you don't know about

:27:01. > :27:05.Eurovision. Now the perfect Eurovision host understands the

:27:06. > :27:11.power of the dramatic pause. Vova? Yeah. What's in your pocket? The car

:27:12. > :27:19.keys. Good. Now ask me what's in mine. OK, what is in your pockets?

:27:20. > :27:42.Shhh. CHEERING

:27:43. > :27:49.A wallet. Wake up! Show time. You have ten seconds to hit the stage.

:27:50. > :27:56.Go, go. Don't wait for me. We are a team. Month man left behind. Final

:27:57. > :28:04.lip you get it. Eurovision is about working together. Welcome to Kiev,

:28:05. > :28:11.Ukraine. To the Eurovision Song Contest 2017. You're ready. They

:28:12. > :28:13.seem about the same to me Mans. Perhaps if you'd stayed a bit longer

:28:14. > :28:16.in boot camp. We couldn't have

:28:17. > :28:24.done it without you. There's Mans and Edward just down

:28:25. > :28:26.the hallway from me. Voting does not start until after we've seen all 26

:28:27. > :28:29.songs, don't try just yet. Mirror, mirror on the wall -

:28:30. > :28:31.who's up next? The beautiful Lucie Jones

:28:32. > :28:38.from the United Kingdom. Yes, here she is. Lucie Jones,

:28:39. > :28:46.representing the United Kingdom with her song Never Give Up On You.

:28:47. > :28:56.She has been doing wonderful work all week. After every performance,

:28:57. > :29:01.every rehearsal, the bookies' odds have been cut again and again. It's

:29:02. > :29:05.popular with the fans in the hall. The staging is stunning. I think

:29:06. > :29:11.you'll be really pleased with it. Hopefully, there'll be dancing in

:29:12. > :29:15.the streets of a little village just outside Cardiff in Wales, where

:29:16. > :29:18.Lucie is from. Her mum and dad, her brother and fiance are in the hall.

:29:19. > :29:24.There's the BBC delegation, cheering her on. Good luck, Lucie Jones! .

:29:25. > :29:27.Song 18 for the United Kingdom. # Tell me your secrets,

:29:28. > :29:30.I'll keep them safe # No sign of weakness,

:29:31. > :29:32.it's a sign of a faith # You're not defeated,

:29:33. > :29:43.you're in repair # Don't have to call me

:29:44. > :29:46.I'll always be there # If you could see

:29:47. > :29:57.how far you've walked # Together we'll dance

:29:58. > :30:17.through this storm # Together we'll dance

:30:18. > :30:35.through this storm # I'm right beside you,

:30:36. > :30:42.you're never alone # If you could see

:30:43. > :30:53.how far you've walked # Together we'll dance

:30:54. > :31:13.through this storm # Now you can see how

:31:14. > :31:45.far you've walked # The mountains climbed,

:31:46. > :31:56.the oceans crossed # Together we'll dance

:31:57. > :32:06.through this storm # Together we'll dance

:32:07. > :32:27.through this storm #. APPLAUSE

:32:28. > :32:34.CHEERING Flawless. Surely one of the best

:32:35. > :32:38.vocals of the night, and an amazing ovation. Not just from the Brits,

:32:39. > :32:45.from everyone in the stadium tonight. Listen to that, Lucie Jones

:32:46. > :32:49.must be thrilled with herself. I'm sure everyone watching at home is,

:32:50. > :32:56.too. That has to be one of our strongest entries in the last few

:32:57. > :33:00.years. Hopefully, hopefully that is reflected in the votes later on.

:33:01. > :33:04.What a terrific performance. Really emotional, soaring, beautifully

:33:05. > :33:08.staged. I thought it looked stunning. This next song is Cyprus,

:33:09. > :33:25.his name is Hovig and he's singing Gravity. This is a very nice, catchy

:33:26. > :33:35.pop song, but following on from the United Kingdom it kind of

:33:36. > :33:42.disappears. See what you think. Song number 19.

:33:43. > :34:08.# I can be the cure, oh

:34:09. > :34:20.# Let me be your heart and your company

:34:21. > :34:23.# I'll let you be the one who can lean on me

:34:24. > :34:26.# I'll catch you when you fall, when you're fallin' free

:34:27. > :34:36.# Let me be your wings when you're flying high

:34:37. > :34:38.# I'm gonna raise you up till you touch the sky

:34:39. > :34:41.# I'll catch you when you fall, when you're fallin' free

:34:42. > :35:38.# Let me be your wings when you're flying high

:35:39. > :35:40.# I'm gonna raise you up till you touch the sky

:35:41. > :35:43.# I'll catch you when you fall, when you're fallin' free

:35:44. > :36:09.# I'll catch you when you fall, when you're fallin' free

:36:10. > :36:14.# Let me be your wings when you're flying high

:36:15. > :36:17.# I'm gonna raise you up till you touch the sky

:36:18. > :36:19.# I'll catch you when you fall, when you're fallin' free

:36:20. > :36:27.# I'll catch you when you fall, when you're fallin' free

:36:28. > :36:53.Thank you! That's Hovig. Lots of support here in the convention

:36:54. > :36:57.centre. For Cyprus. Now, it's time for another bit of Eurovision Magic

:36:58. > :37:12.ladies and gentlemen. So 20 is Romania. This is Ilinca ft. Alex

:37:13. > :37:21.Florea. Now, if I say this song is wrap meets yodelling you may think

:37:22. > :37:25.that sounds awful, but, in fact, it's... Well, no, I'm sticking with

:37:26. > :37:30.it, it's not, I really like it. It's very fun, it's very silly, but a

:37:31. > :37:36.real crowd pleaser and a floor filler. It's very different and it

:37:37. > :37:45.might do very well. It's called Yodel It!. Enjoy!

:37:46. > :37:55.Hey, hey! Want to sing a song? Sing it!

:37:56. > :38:03.# You never show the spark that makes you glow

:38:04. > :38:06.# You always say no to the right things

:38:07. > :38:09.# Don't try to hide the light inside of you

:38:10. > :38:12.# Today might be the day when you will make it, baby

:38:13. > :38:20.# If you never try, you'll never be alive

:38:21. > :38:23.# You are gonna miss out on this ride

:38:24. > :38:30.# Yodelei, yodelei, yodelei, yodeleio

:38:31. > :38:32.# Yodelei, yodelei, yodelei, yodeleio

:38:33. > :38:41.# Yodelei, yodelei yodeleio

:38:42. > :38:47.# Now what's the use of being so confused

:38:48. > :38:50.# Of doing all this work you really don't want to be doing?

:38:51. > :38:52.# But you'll be fine, it's time to feel alive

:38:53. > :38:55.# Don't stop from reaching for the stars and keep on moving

:38:56. > :38:58.# So bring it on, bring it on, I'm a dreamer

:38:59. > :39:01.# If you don't believe it, come and see me, I will teach ya

:39:02. > :39:03.# If you never try, you'll never be alive

:39:04. > :39:06.# You are gonna miss out on this ride

:39:07. > :39:09.# Yodelei, yodelei, yodelei, yodeleio

:39:10. > :39:12.# Yodelei, yodelei, yodelei, yodeleio

:39:13. > :39:31.# Sitting alone at my desk on a nine-to-five program,

:39:32. > :39:42.# Get another coffee, get another one to make it through

:39:43. > :39:50.# Don't you hide that light inside of you

:39:51. > :39:53.# Come and show me what you wanna do

:39:54. > :39:56.# If you're stuck in a place feeling incomplete

:39:57. > :39:59.# If you wanna run, feeling like a misfit

:40:00. > :40:01.# Come on sing along, come on sing this song

:40:02. > :40:07.# Yodelei, yodelei, yodelei, yodeleio

:40:08. > :40:35.APPLAUSE CHEERING

:40:36. > :40:39.. I'm no expert, that yodelling sounded amazing. Ilinca claims to be

:40:40. > :40:43.the only yield lower in Romania, probably because the others don't

:40:44. > :40:48.talk about it. Maybe that is the first rule of yodelling club. -- she

:40:49. > :40:54.claims to be the only person who can yodel in Romania. Another of the big

:40:55. > :40:59.five now, this is Germany. Her name is Levina and her song is Perfect

:41:00. > :41:02.Life. She splits her time between Berlin and London, so if you think

:41:03. > :41:05.you know her, maybe you've seen her in the street waiting for a bus or

:41:06. > :41:13.something. The song was written by Lindy Robins, who wrote Amy Lovato's

:41:14. > :41:19.skyscraper. Judging by the song, she is quite a fan of Sia. Hello to

:41:20. > :41:27.Johnny Wu and everybody up the glory club.

:41:28. > :41:39.Nearly there, this is song 21 to Germany.

:41:40. > :42:32.# Sometimes it's wrong before it's right

:42:33. > :42:41.# That's what you call a perfect life

:42:42. > :42:47.# Gathering thorns from the stems of a thousand roses

:42:48. > :42:53.# Weathering storms on the long way home

:42:54. > :42:56.# I look for the sweet in every bitter moment tasted

:42:57. > :43:07.# In every last mistake I see the other side

:43:08. > :43:33.# Sometimes it's wrong before it's right

:43:34. > :43:51.# That's what you call a perfect life

:43:52. > :44:16.# Sometimes it's wrong before it's right

:44:17. > :44:35.# That's what you call a perfect life #.

:44:36. > :44:42.APPLAUSE CHEERING

:44:43. > :44:47.. Thank you so much. Dyakuyu. Levina representing Germany. Some very

:44:48. > :44:56.happy people. OG3NE from Netherlands enjoying it. Timur! Eurovision 's

:44:57. > :45:01.fan the wait for the competition to arrive again is a long one. It's a

:45:02. > :45:04.year, Timur. This year there is another special event for your

:45:05. > :45:09.calendar, a brand-new competition is searching for the best choir in

:45:10. > :45:14.Europe. They will descend on Riga in July to compete for the title of the

:45:15. > :45:19.Eurovision choir of the year. I'm distracted by Lucie Jones over his

:45:20. > :45:25.shoulder. What is this now? This sounds good. July? Enrique? Amateur

:45:26. > :45:38.choirs! All over Europe? Well, that's a date for the diary!

:45:39. > :45:55.July sorted. Get ready to cut loose. Some local

:45:56. > :46:04.heroes are taking the stage. The style is rock. The country is

:46:05. > :46:11.Ukraine. A mighty roar goes up. These are the home boys. They're

:46:12. > :46:16.representing Ukraine with a rock number called Time. As I say we have

:46:17. > :46:21.had a wonderful time in Kiev. They are put on a really slick,

:46:22. > :46:24.technically perfect show. I think the city's enjoyed hosting the

:46:25. > :46:30.competition, having all the visitors here. But judging by this song, I'm

:46:31. > :46:32.guessing they don't want to have us back again next year.

:46:33. > :46:47.Just the sense I'm getting. The song is called Time. The

:46:48. > :46:59.question you ask is - how can three minutes be this long? Song 22.

:47:00. > :49:55.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Something for everyone. Jokes aside,

:49:56. > :50:04.because it is the only rock number in the contest this year, that could

:50:05. > :50:09.end up doing very well for Ukraine. A few more shout out, the we love

:50:10. > :50:16.pop boys in Glasgow are watching, cliff, Ross, James, Shaun, Johnny,

:50:17. > :50:20.Jono, Joff. There is a party in bell size park and Rhona walker is

:50:21. > :50:25.watching too. This young lady is a young lady. Her

:50:26. > :50:30.name is Blanche and she is another one of the contestants who is only

:50:31. > :50:35.17. She's representing Belgium, with her song City Lights.

:50:36. > :50:39.It is a song that's been a big radio hit across Europe, so the crowd will

:50:40. > :50:45.react when the music starts. They know this song. It's a very credible

:50:46. > :50:49.pop song. The problem is, I think she's so young, she is sort of

:50:50. > :50:53.overwhelmed by this experience. Hopefully she can try and enjoy her

:50:54. > :50:56.performance tonight. It's song 23 for Belgium.

:50:57. > :52:42.# Let's put some light into our lives

:52:43. > :52:46.# But keep the storm that's in your eyes

:52:47. > :52:53.# Let's put some light into our lives

:52:54. > :53:45.# To lose it all. # To lose it all.

:53:46. > :53:53.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE It is a cracking pop song. But I

:53:54. > :54:00.just hope she's enjoying it a little more than she appears to. I think

:54:01. > :54:02.she's happy it's over at least. Just so vulnerable, just only 17. Still

:54:03. > :54:06.great job Blanche. New jackets. An outstanding

:54:07. > :54:07.performance from Blanche. Yes, I have the power to make

:54:08. > :54:12.the audience download the Eurovision app with my

:54:13. > :54:16.authentic TV host smile. They're good at doing things

:54:17. > :54:26.together. That's the nicest freaking thing

:54:27. > :54:34.anyone's ever said to me. And now it's Sweden's Robin

:54:35. > :54:43.freaking Bengtsson. That word appears a lot in the lyric

:54:44. > :54:48.of this song. This young man couldn't be more

:54:49. > :54:57.different from Blanche from Belgium. He is a, yes, he's quite a confident

:54:58. > :55:02.performer. His name is Robin Bengtsson. This song is a sub-Bruno

:55:03. > :55:08.Mars affair. Sweden really have this down to a tee now. This is such a

:55:09. > :55:13.slick performance. They've thrown everything at it, for no discernible

:55:14. > :55:18.reason they start back stage. What they get on stage, there's tread

:55:19. > :55:28.mills, lights. Yeah, this will do well, I'm sure. Being song 24, I'm

:55:29. > :55:37.sure it will help them. Robin Bengtsson, I Can't Go On.

:55:38. > :55:58.# With just one look you make me shiver

:55:59. > :56:21.# When you look this freakin' beautiful

:56:22. > :56:35.# I can't go on I can't go on

:56:36. > :56:39.# When you look this freakin' beautiful

:56:40. > :56:43.# I can't go on I can't go on

:56:44. > :56:50.# When you look this freakin' beautiful

:56:51. > :57:16.# When you look this freakin' beautiful

:57:17. > :57:27.# I can't go on I can't go on

:57:28. > :57:34.# When you look this freakin' beautiful

:57:35. > :57:36.# I can't go on I can't go on

:57:37. > :57:51.# When you look this freakin' beautiful

:57:52. > :58:04.# I can't go on I can't go on

:58:05. > :58:09.# When you look this freakin' beautiful

:58:10. > :58:13.# I can't go on I can't go on

:58:14. > :58:24.# When you look this freakin' beautiful

:58:25. > :58:47.Thank you, Europe! That is Sweden. They know what they're doing. They

:58:48. > :58:54.can butt these things together. And it's the last of our 17-year-olds.

:58:55. > :59:01.This is song 25, Bulgaria. That boy, it is a boy, Kristian Kostov is his

:59:02. > :59:07.name. The song is Beautiful Mess. He is literally just turned 17. He was

:59:08. > :59:14.born in this century. He's the only performer tonight to be able to

:59:15. > :59:21.claim that. This might be a winner as well. Again, it's been a big

:59:22. > :59:26.radio hit around Europe. Compared to some of the other youngsters, this

:59:27. > :59:30.guy is so at home on stage. He loves performing. Here's Kristian Kostov

:59:31. > :59:37.for Bulgaria. # And the lights all fade

:59:38. > :01:09.to black again APPLAUSE

:01:10. > :02:38.CHEERING Kristian Kostov. I do think it's

:02:39. > :02:43.remarkable such a young performer is that amount of poise and an event

:02:44. > :02:47.such as this and on a stage like that. When you see him backstage, I

:02:48. > :02:52.mean out of that sort of androgynous garb, he is just a kid. He doesn't

:02:53. > :02:57.look old enough to be here. We've done it ladies and gentlemen, this

:02:58. > :03:03.is song 26, our final song of the evening. The last of the big five,

:03:04. > :03:12.France. Her name is Alma and the song is Requiem. It was doing quite

:03:13. > :03:13.well with the bookies. Performing last is always going to be

:03:14. > :03:28.difficult. Terrific graphics, though. Mind you

:03:29. > :03:32.if you're looking at the graphics something's gone terribly wrong,

:03:33. > :03:37.hasn't it? But they are good! It's the last one, song 26 for France.

:03:38. > :03:41.# Les siecles passent et disparaissent

:03:42. > :03:56.# Embrasse-moi, dis-moi que tu m'aimes

:03:57. > :04:01.# Fais-moi sourire au beau milieu d'un requiem

:04:02. > :04:05.# Embrasse-moi, dis-moi que tu m'aimes

:04:06. > :04:09.# Fais-moi danser jusqu'a ce que le temps nous reprenne

:04:10. > :04:18.# You take my smile and make it bright

:04:19. > :04:27.# On pleure mais on survit quand meme

:04:28. > :04:32.# Les etincelles deviennent des flammes

:04:33. > :04:34.# Les petites filles deviennent des femmes

:04:35. > :04:43.# On pense qu'elles ont de l'importance

:04:44. > :04:51.# Embrasse-moi, dis-moi que tu m'aimes

:04:52. > :04:56.# Fais-moi sourire au beau milieu d'un requiem

:04:57. > :05:00.# Embrasse-moi, dis-moi que tu m'aimes

:05:01. > :05:04.# Fais-moi danser jusqu'a ce que le temps nous reprenne

:05:05. > :05:14.# You take my smile and make it bright

:05:15. > :05:23.# On pleure mais on survit quand meme

:05:24. > :05:54.# Embrasse-moi, dis-moi que tu m'aimes

:05:55. > :06:00.# Fais-moi sourire au beau milieu d'un requiem

:06:01. > :06:02.# Embrasse-moi, dis-moi que tu m'aimes

:06:03. > :06:07.# Fais-moi danser jusqu'a ce que le temps nous reprenne

:06:08. > :06:14.# Embrasse moi, tell me that you love me

:06:15. > :06:23.# Embrasse moi, tell me that you love me

:06:24. > :06:41.Thank you. Great finish to the show. The crowd really like that, they

:06:42. > :06:47.wanted to party. There are some French fans cheering her on. That's

:33:04. > :33:16.I wonder if this is like QVC in Ukraine, it probably is. What are

:33:17. > :33:23.you expecting? I have no idea. It's not an easy call. I'm going for the

:33:24. > :33:27.UK. Yes! Well done, sir, whoever you were. I wasn't listening to your

:33:28. > :33:31.name but I'm thrilled you're here now, saying things like that.

:33:32. > :33:34.As many of you will know, Eurovision has a younger relative,

:33:35. > :33:36.the Junior Eurovision Song Contest for singers aged nine to 14.

:34:56. > :35:00.you this question. Do you hope to sing at Eurovision 1-dayer? Actually

:35:01. > :35:03.I was thinking about it because when I won Junior Eurovision I

:35:04. > :35:10.experienced a lot of things and I want to experience again. That's

:35:11. > :35:15.great. We'll see. But now... Conversation really flows, he's

:37:00. > :37:03.are aware we're here. The Hill family hosting their annual

:37:04. > :37:06.Eurovision party, they had to cut into the Ukrainian honey cake. It

:39:47. > :39:49.the popular vote. A lot of people asking about Brexit and the effect

:39:50. > :39:54.it might have on the United Kingdom. I have just say no one out here has

:39:55. > :39:59.mentioned it, not a peep out of them. It's as if people don't care

:40:00. > :40:04.that we are leaving the EU. I suppose a lot of these countries

:40:05. > :40:09.aren't in the EU and those that are are concerned with their own

:40:10. > :40:14.business, not ours. So... Also not to be too blunt, we can't do much

:40:15. > :40:20.worse, so hopefully there will be a Brexit effect. That is a reminder of

:40:21. > :40:23.all 26 songs. Now onto the last part of the interval.

:44:42. > :44:50.Verka. Lots of union Jacks. Well, it's nearly time for the phone lines

:44:51. > :44:53.to close. It's like choosing a chocolate from a box, it's really

:44:54. > :44:56.difficult to do because they are all very delicious.

:44:57. > :44:58.But if you think one special act deserves the win,

:44:59. > :45:01.then this is your last chance to vote.

:45:22. > :45:24.All the numbers you need are on the screen now or you can

:45:25. > :45:32.It was about them and now it's about your rewarding them with one

:45:33. > :45:37.of the most treasured prizes in music.

:45:38. > :45:43.Will you give them your vote and change their lives forever?

:45:44. > :45:54.This is quite torturous. Very long minute.

:46:04. > :46:14.Thank you Alex and Vova. That is it. The lines are closed. Please do not

:46:15. > :46:16.call or use the app, your vote will not count and you may still be

:46:17. > :46:25.charged. Very soon we will hear from the

:46:26. > :46:32.spokespersons of all 42 national juries. They will award half of the

:46:33. > :46:36.total points. After that, we will see how you, our wonderful audience,

:46:37. > :46:42.have decided to award the decisive second half of points.

:46:43. > :46:46.First we need to check if the jury voting has gone according to the

:46:47. > :46:54.rules. I smell aries moo. We must consult with the smartest person in

:46:55. > :47:00.this room. Now he is, the grand wizard, our very own Gandalf, but

:47:01. > :47:04.without the beard and the pointy hat, so please welcome, the

:47:05. > :47:10.executive supervisor of the Eurovision Song Contest, Mr Jon Ola

:47:11. > :47:15.Sand. Is he here, have we managed to get him?

:47:16. > :47:18.Thank you Vova and Alex for your very creative introduction.

:47:19. > :47:21.I can confirm that we have processed all the votes

:47:22. > :47:36.I saw him earlier. I didn't speak to him. I thought it best not to.

:47:37. > :47:39.That means we are now ready to take that special journey around

:47:40. > :48:01.First we'll be hearing from last year's host country, Sweden.

:48:02. > :48:13.Good evening Europe, and good evening Kiev!

:48:57. > :48:59.most of Azerbaijany men watching on TV, I would like to be in Kiev

:49:00. > :49:04.tonight as well, just to support. But unfortunately, I have to be here

:49:05. > :49:12.in the studio... Sounded creepy. I'm not quite sure what he's saying.

:49:13. > :49:19.Please may we have your 12 points. Our 12 points go to... Belarus.

:21:21. > :21:34.at least, stunning. Police reveal whom you would like to

:21:35. > :21:39.send your 12 points. Seven Portugal. So... 12 points from the Croatian

:21:40. > :21:51.national jury go to... Hungary. Only two more countries to vote. Can

:21:52. > :21:54.we get over 100 before we head into the popular vote?

:21:55. > :22:05.Greetings to all of you from Czech Republic.

:22:06. > :22:11.It's a big honour to be part of this great event again.

:22:12. > :22:25.Oh, 99 and 12 for Portugal. Sorry, I'm focussing on the UK. We need one

:22:26. > :22:28.more point, if we get a point from the Ukraine...

:22:29. > :22:31.Now it's time to hear our home result, as we go to Eurovision

:22:32. > :22:33.star Zlata, who is right here in the beautiful city of Kiev.

:22:34. > :22:36.That is not the weather outside, I tell you that now.

:22:37. > :22:40.Ten for Portugal. Nothing for us so far.

:22:41. > :22:47.I'm terribly excited about tonight's show and this

:22:48. > :22:52.is the world of music, peace and love.

:22:53. > :23:05.Please tell us your 12 points. Finally, our 12 points go to...

:23:06. > :23:16.Belarus. Story of my life. So that is the

:23:17. > :23:20.jury vote completed. We have 99 points, we're on the left-hand side

:23:21. > :23:30.of the scoreboard. This is going quite well. So far.

:23:31. > :23:33.We have heard from our national juries.

:23:34. > :23:36.We are now halfway through the voting and it's really exciting.

:23:37. > :23:38.The juries watch a different performance. They watched last

:23:39. > :23:47.night. So Vova, how does the televotes

:23:48. > :23:49.points system work? In each country, the public vote

:23:50. > :23:51.for their favourite song and those votes are converted into a second

:23:52. > :23:54.set of one to eight, The points from all the different

:23:55. > :23:58.countries are then added together and we announce who got

:23:59. > :24:00.what starting with the country Countries can't vote

:24:01. > :24:08.for themselves, we all know that. So the most points a song could win

:24:09. > :24:15.from the audience vote is 492. That would be if 41 countries gave

:24:16. > :24:21.the same song 12 points. Now Timur is having the ultimate

:24:22. > :24:26.Eurovision nerd experience, sitting at the Scrutineers' desk

:24:27. > :24:31.with our executive supervisor. So let's find out if all those

:24:32. > :24:37.televotes have been I feel like I'm getting to sit next

:24:38. > :24:50.to the captain on a plane. They're like the Muppets with

:24:51. > :25:00.accents. So this is only the second time

:25:01. > :25:03.in Eurovision history that the national jury votes

:25:04. > :25:05.and audience votes have been That's correct and as we saw

:25:06. > :25:17.in Stockholm, it made These two personalities coming

:25:18. > :25:20.together like this, it is electric (! )

:25:21. > :25:22.So Mr Sand, have the televotes been calculated correctly?

:25:23. > :25:24.Yes, we have the televotes from all 42 countries,

:25:25. > :25:27.which have been counted and pooled together.

:25:28. > :25:32.I can confirm that the scores are 100% correct.

:25:33. > :25:36.That means it's time to reveal those points,

:25:37. > :25:42.Yes. Then I will hand back to Alex and Vova for an exciting end to the

:25:43. > :25:45.show. I think this is the bit

:25:46. > :25:56.where you say... That was quite painful. This is the

:25:57. > :26:06.exciting bit. This is quite quick. And soon we will know who has won.

:26:07. > :26:13.They're doing this... In first place, it is Portugal. Will Portugal

:26:14. > :26:18.hold onto the lead? There are a lot more points to come.

:26:19. > :26:20.We will now reveal the points starting with the country

:26:21. > :26:36.It has been an incredible journey and this is it.

:26:37. > :26:42.Time to see who will be crowned the winner of the 2017

:26:43. > :26:55.There is Jamala bringing the trophy onto the stage. With zero points, it

:26:56. > :27:08.is Austria. With two points, it is Australia.

:27:09. > :27:17.Three points, it is Germany. Five points, it is Spain. With the

:27:18. > :27:24.same amount of five points, it is, Israel. This is good. The longer

:27:25. > :27:36.they don't say... With eight points, it is Denmark.

:27:37. > :27:49.12 points to the United Kingdom. 15 points to the Netherlands. 21

:27:50. > :28:02.points to Armenia. 24 points to Ukraine. With 29 points, it is

:28:03. > :28:11.Greece. With the same amount of points of 29, it is Norway. Very bad

:28:12. > :28:24.for them with the popular vote. With 32 points, it is Cyprus. With 33

:28:25. > :28:38.points, it is Belarus. With 41 points, it is Poland. With 42

:28:39. > :28:44.points, it is Azerbaijan. Now, as you can see Portugal is still in the

:28:45. > :28:51.lead with 382. Now can we stay on the left-hand side? It is possible.

:28:52. > :28:58.There's everything to play for and now, we are about to find out which

:28:59. > :29:04.song you thought was the best one. The country that has got the tenth

:29:05. > :29:17.highest score from the televotes is... With 90 points, it is...

:29:18. > :29:20.France. I fear we will end up on the right-hand side of the scoreboard.

:29:21. > :29:29.But very high on it. Congratulations. So close to the

:29:30. > :29:34.left. The country that received the ninth highest score from the

:29:35. > :30:03.televotes with... 103 is... Croatia. The nation that has got the eighth

:30:04. > :30:14.high score with 126 points is... Sweden.

:30:15. > :30:28.So Sweden haven't won but Bulgaria could still win and it could be

:30:29. > :30:36.Portugal. With 152 points its... Hungary! Well done, congratulations.

:30:37. > :30:45.Of course Italy were favourites all along. They could still do it. So

:30:46. > :31:02.the country with the sixth highest score with 208 points is... Italy!

:31:03. > :31:07.That's it, they are doomed. So, it's Portugal or Bulgaria. Depending on

:31:08. > :31:14.how the viewers thought about it. Both of those countries have done

:31:15. > :31:24.very well. With 224 points is... Romania.

:31:25. > :31:31.We will be just edged off the left-hand side. In the lead we have

:31:32. > :31:42.Portugal with 382, followed by Sweden and Italy with 334. But still

:31:43. > :31:47.more points... I wonder if Belgium could do it if they really scored

:31:48. > :31:53.highly, Belgium could also do it. Or Moldova. I love this new system,

:31:54. > :31:57.it's great. Let's do it... Only four countries left, that has not

:31:58. > :32:12.received their points of your telephone yet. These four countries

:32:13. > :32:19.are... Portugal, they've been waiting 53 years, they've never won.

:32:20. > :32:29.Is tonight their night? Bulgaria. 17 years old, he must be so nervous.

:32:30. > :32:37.Moldova. Hey Mamma was a big crowd favourite. And Belgium. Who will

:32:38. > :32:42.take the Eurovision trophy? Another 17-year-old. Let's find out right

:32:43. > :32:51.now. The country that received the fourth highest score from your

:32:52. > :33:04.votes, with 255 points is... Belgium! So they haven't done it.

:33:05. > :33:09.Still it was not enough to pass the leader. Currently Portugal is in

:33:10. > :33:16.first place with 382 points. But still more points to come. Moldova

:33:17. > :33:20.must have done incredibly well. Only three countries left to receive

:33:21. > :33:38.votes from you, our wonderful audience. And these countries are...

:33:39. > :33:47.Portugal, Bulgaria, and Moldova. The country given the third highest

:33:48. > :33:58.score, with 264 points, is... Moldova! They haven't won. So this

:33:59. > :34:04.is it. Bulgaria or Portugal. Portugal is still in the lead. For

:34:05. > :34:11.others it was our best result since 2011 when Blue were our entry, so

:34:12. > :34:17.Lucie can be very proud, but right now it's about the winner. Only two

:34:18. > :34:23.countries left to receive their points for your telephone. The two

:34:24. > :34:28.top songs according to the telephone at... The exhibition centre is

:34:29. > :34:35.chanting Portugal. Portugal and Bulgaria. Well they get enough

:34:36. > :34:42.points right now is Jim Mark and who will win the contest this year? So

:34:43. > :34:58.the country with the second highest score, with 337 points is...

:34:59. > :35:09.Bulgaria. It's all over. And this actually means that we have our

:35:10. > :35:20.winner. Tonight. We still have 376 points for Portugal. Wow, what an

:35:21. > :35:29.amazing result for this unassuming young man with his gentle ballad. Oh

:35:30. > :35:34.my God! They've been waiting 53 years to win this competition. So

:35:35. > :35:42.there's hope for us all, ladies and gentlemen. We've only been waiting

:35:43. > :35:52.20. This is Portugal! Salvador Sobral. In a night of flashing

:35:53. > :35:59.lights and dancing guerrillas people responded to a very gentle ballad.

:36:00. > :36:03.Quickly we'll show you how you voted in United Kingdom. We give one point

:36:04. > :36:07.a hungry ONUKA NAOFI to Italy, three to Belgium, four to Sweden,

:36:08. > :36:11.five to Croatia, six to Moldova, seven to Romania, eight to Portugal,

:36:12. > :36:20.ten to Poland and our 12 points, interesting, went to Bulgaria, not

:36:21. > :36:21.Portugal. We wanted Bulgaria to win. But Portugal have. A resounding

:36:22. > :36:52.victory it is. Who is that man? So he's making his way to the stage.

:36:53. > :36:56.He looks as nonplussed now as he has throughout this competition. Here he

:36:57. > :37:02.is meeting Jamala, last year's winner. There he is holding the

:37:03. > :37:11.trophy. The winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2017. Salvador Sobral.

:37:12. > :37:15.I'll tell you now, that there us. It's been a little tense all evening

:37:16. > :37:18.and that's just pushed us over the edge. Indoor fireworks everyone.

:37:19. > :37:36.Relax. Salvador Sobral is now being led

:37:37. > :37:42.over to the main stage where he'll perform the song again. It should be

:37:43. > :37:45.said that after he was elected in Portugal he had to have several

:37:46. > :37:51.operations for hernias and he has an ongoing heart condition, which means

:37:52. > :37:54.he's often unwell. He missed several rehearsals. But he's smiling

:37:55. > :38:06.tonight. Salvador. It's really hard to say

:38:07. > :38:10.even something, but I would like if you want to say, even a message for

:38:11. > :38:17.those who voted for you, now it is time to do this. OK... I want to say

:38:18. > :38:20.that we live in a world of disposable music, fast-food music

:38:21. > :38:24.without any content, and I think this could be a victory for music

:38:25. > :38:28.with people that make music that actually means something. Music is

:38:29. > :38:33.not fireworks, music is feeling. So let's try to change this. And bring

:38:34. > :38:40.music back, which is really what matters. Seems like a losing battle

:38:41. > :38:46.at Eurovision, but in the rest of the world, you're quite right, sir.

:38:47. > :38:50.Once more, you're winning song. Thank you so much, thank you. He's

:38:51. > :38:56.trying to get his sister to the stage. Getting ready to perform once

:38:57. > :39:00.again. His sister performed for him at some of the rehearsals when he

:39:01. > :39:10.was unwell. She composed the song as well. The first win in the

:39:11. > :39:13.Eurovision Song Contest, first time ever, congratulations. Huge

:39:14. > :39:18.congratulations from Ukraine, from the whole world, for you, the

:39:19. > :39:23.ultimate winner. And now you know that the amazing year comes to an

:39:24. > :39:27.end. And it's time for us to say goodbye, unfortunately. Goodbye! No,

:39:28. > :39:33.they are still going. If you want more Eurovision, log on to the

:40:08. > :40:16.city, I have to say. It's very attractive. They have put on a great
