bangaranga gonna be the word of the summer if it wins istg

At this rate, we're going to be in the bottom 3; we'll hopefully have to rely on the public vote, and hope we do better than the local elections.

We've at least got 1 point. 

Here comes an hour of my life that I'll never get back

I quite like this half-time show. 

So we've now seen the 25 songs from all of the contestants tonight.

It's now time to vote, and we'll see the recaps shortly. 

19 years old he is performing for Vienna

Vienna are the last to perform tonight.

Tanzschein by Cosmo

Somebody choke the Romanian singer so we don't have to listen to this.

The penultimate song now, song number 24 by Romania 

Are those Sketchers

Buck’s Fizz have slowed down since moving to Italy

Someone give that guy his clothes back

Why's she wearing a tea towel

Shakira has switched genres

She might cruise to victory

Nice to Sweden preparing for the Hantavirus tonight

You can’t polish a turd but you can spray it silver!

Lithuania now for Song 19

Why does he look like the tin man?

This one sounds like it would have some mainstream and radio appeal to it.

On behalf of Roch Valley Radio, Finland... you can come to the UK whenever you want. 

Song number 17, this is the bookies’ favourite. 

Finland’s song - Liekinhitien

Honestly, nobody on stage tonight is having more fun than this lot from Moldova. It’s less a Eurovision entry, more the final hour of a wedding reception after the free bar’s been extended.

At just 17, Monroe is the youngest contestant in this year’s competition... which is deeply unfair on the rest of us, frankly. While most teenagers are still figuring out how taxes work, she’s already an accomplished musician who released her debut album in France last year.

Oh God. The dog's gone again

Our windows have just blown out

UK viewers cannot vote for the UK entry... that's great because we wouldn't.

The UK song now for Song 14.

This is what happens when a GCSE German oral exam gets a £2 million lighting budget.

And now we summon the devil...

I don’t want to like this song from Bulgaria but it’s catchier than an STD and equally as annoying.

That camera is a bit faulty.

He may not win but he’s the the hottest guy of the night so far.

Ah phew, a short break! 

I think he’s forgot the words

Back in a minute, I need a wee. 

Loreen has let herself go. 

If we could crown a winner now, it would be Australia. 

Stunning vocals from Australia tonight.

Song number 8 now, called Eclipse from Australia 

The Ukraine song features the longest sustained note in Eurovision history – a lung-busting 30 seconds.

Has she got frostbitten fingers? 

I have to give it to her. That note was perfect and long!

Song 7 is Ukraine

They've got the fans out again to blow her.

It's a Temu version of dancing lasha tumbai

His orange boots entered the competition with more confidence than half the actual singers. Somewhere, a traffic cone is feeling underdressed.

Ok so we're the first 5 songs in... and 20 more to come... 

She is like the mum on the lines at a kids football match. Can’t help but get too involved

Albania for song number 5

Belgium's performance is brought to you by asbestos

Song 04 is Belgium and the song is called Dancing on the Ice, but there is no ice....  

She works in a dental practice for her normal day job.

This feels a bit like a peace anthem, a Bond theme, and the final song before the club turns the lights on all rolled into one

Some boos for Israel then. It’s a shame because this isn’t supposed to be a political competition.

Song number three is Israel, the song features three
