1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:30,989
This programme contains repetitive  flashing images.

2
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:39,989
Good evening to everyone back in the  United Kingdom. This is Graham

3
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:47,989
Norton wading you a warm welcome to  the Eurovision Song Contest 2016,

4
00:00:48,000 --> 00:01:00,989
the 61st contest. You join me and  10,000 other people packed into the

5
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:07,989
Globe Arena here in Stockholm.  Sweden won it last year with Heroes

6
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:14,989
and Mans Zelmerlow. Everybody just  getting ready here. This Globe Arena

7
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:22,989
was built in '89 and has hosted the  Eurovision Song Contest in the year

8
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,989
2000. OK, down to the serious matter  at hand. This is the Opening

9
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,989
Ceremony, the flag ceremony, when  all the acts come out on the stage.

10
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:41,989
No physical flags tonight. Instead  they're projected flags onto these

11
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,989
extraordinary white costumes. The  costumes were designed and they are

12
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:54,989
hand folded. They are draped on  models.

13
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:04,989
The music is a mix of Swedish dance  tracks, people like Swedish house

14
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:15,989
Mafia Alesso. Here's the first  country, Belgium. And Laura.

15
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,989
The first time the Czech Republic  have been in a final, well, ever.

16
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,989
It's going to be a great show  tonight. Do stay with us. We'll be

17
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,989
here for about three-and-a-half  hours, I imagine. There is a twist

18
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,989
to the voting this year. There's a  change to the way the results will

19
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,989
be announced. Basically, it's just  going to make it more dramatic at

20
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,989
the end. More about that in a bit. A  live performance from Justin

21
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:47,989
Timberlake as well. And Joe and Jake  will be flying the flag for Britain.

22
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:58,989
They are performing in 25th place.  25 out of 26. So you can wait for

23
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,989
them. I'm a bit like cheap wine, I  don't travel very well, but I have

24
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:10,989
so enjoyed my time here in  Stockholm. They put on a wonderful

25
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,989
welcome. The Swedes love Eurovision,  I mean, deeply. They've got so good

26
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:23,989
at it. It's just three years since  we were in Malmo and now we're back.

27
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:31,989
The production is stunning. You can  follow all the action tonight with

28
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:44,989
BBC Eurovision on Twitter, Facebook  and bbc.co.uk/Eurovision. Bulgaria

29
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,989
very popular. Not as popular as this  next man, Sweden, it's Frans. He's

30
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,989
only 17 years old that boy and he  will be performing in ninth place.

31
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,989
That's the only draw, the draw for  the host country, which position

32
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,989
they're going to be performing in.  Sweden got number nine. For the

33
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:17,989
rest, the producers put together. We  are 25 out of 26. In the past few

34
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,989
years, with the semifinals, a lot of  the dross has been filtered out. Not

35
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,989
tonight, ladies and gentleman! A  couple of corkers have slipped

36
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,989
through the net.  Of course, tonight is being watched

37
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:58,989
worldwide by only 200 million people  in 50 countries.

38
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:05,989
# Oh, sometimes I get a good feeling  # Get a feeling that... #

39
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:13,989
Wonder if they get to keep the  costumes.

40
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:41,989
All the time in the gym and that's  what he's doing. I should remind you

41
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,989
of course that as in most years,  some of tonight's performances will

42
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,989
contain flashing images and strobe  effects.

43
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,989
Do get in touch if you want a shout  out for your party or whatever

44
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,989
you're doing, if you want to hear  what you think about tonight's

45
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:20,989
performance, get in touch.  Lithuania. Oh, that's got to hurt.

46
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:45,989
And here come our boys. United  Kingdom. Joe and Jake! Just 21 and

47
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,989
22. They are so young.  I think you will be thrilled when

48
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,989
you see their performance later on  tonight. They do such a good job,

49
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,989
really, really proud of those boys.  They've worked incredibly hard. The

50
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:05,989
song is a credible pop song. Fingers  crossed. That's all the countries.

51
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:18,989
Now it's time to meet our hosts.  They are familiar faces to our

52
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,989
vision fans. It's last year's  winner, Mans Zelmerlow and Petra

53
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,989
Mede, she hosted it two years ago  and worked in me in London when we

54
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,989
hosted the 60th anniversary of  Eurovision. They are genuinely

55
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,989
funny. They're competent. They do,  honestly, the interval song, they do

56
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,989
an homage to Eurovision that is  genius. You will, if you're a fan,

57
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:48,989
you'll love it.  As I say, the lighting tonight, they

58
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,989
have gone hog wild. I'm told there  are 90 million pixels in the

59
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:59,989
staging. Write that down and  remember it.

60
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:16,989
Ladies and gentleman, welcome to  Stockholm, Sweden, and the Grand

61
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,989
Final of the biggest music  competition in the world, my name is

62
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:28,989
Petra Mede.  CHEERING.

63
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:34,989
The crowd really love these two,  because they hosted the semifinals

64
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:48,989
during the week. They're well known  here. And my name is Mans Zelmerlow.

65
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,989
This is the moment we've all been  waiting for. Tonight 26 countries

66
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,989
will compete for the win, while over  50 countries are watching live,

67
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:05,989
including China and, for the first  time ever, the US.

68
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,989
CHEERING And when we reach the end  of the show, in approximately three

69
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,989
to eight hours...  LAUGHTER

70
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,989
We will have a new champion and the  reigning champion, Mans will go back

71
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,989
to being Mans Zelmerlow again. Do  you know what that means? Yes. I can

72
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:28,989
eat carbs again. Yes!  Congratulations. This competition

73
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,989
was created in 1956 to unify a  continent torn apart by war. And

74
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,989
right now Europe is once again  facing darker times. That reminds us

75
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,989
just how important this evening  actually is. Because tonight, we set

76
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,989
aside any differences we might have  and unite through our love for

77
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,989
music. This is what is so beautiful  about this contest and exciting.

78
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,989
Another beautiful thing about this  contest is the fans, who have

79
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,989
travelled here from all over the  world, surrounding us right now.

80
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,989
CHEERING  You truly are the best and the most

81
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:13,989
devoted audience in the world. Yes,  you are. And I might add, the most

82
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,989
respectful audience in the world. I  was at a Eurovision party last night

83
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:22,989
surrounded by fans and none of the  guys came onto me.

84
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:30,989
LAUGHTER Was it the same for you?  Well... Any way. 26 nervous artists

85
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,989
are waiting back stage ready to win  your hearts and your support,

86
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,989
because the power rests in your  hands, together with the national

87
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,989
juries in every country. Vote by  calling or... This is the annoying

88
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,989
bit where I speak over people  speaking demrish. I apologise every

89
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,989
year, I'm sorry. I need to explain  some things. UK voters cannot vote

90
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,989
by text the the lines won't open  until the last song has been

91
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,989
performed. You may have heard that  there's a new system for this year.

92
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,989
It's designed to make a more  dramatic finish. Juries watch the

93
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,989
rehearsal and cast their votes,  which are converted into points. The

94
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,989
spokesperson from each country will  announce that. Those points are

95
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,989
added to the scoreboard first. Once  that's done, the public votes from

96
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,989
each country will be converted into  another set of points. They are then

97
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:28,989
put into a big pot and added  together. Petra and Mans will

98
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,989
announce them from the lowest to the  highiest. If you want to know more

99
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,989
about these changes, Richard Osman  has made a film and it is available

100
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,989
on the website. This won't take any  longer, but it will heighten the

101
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,989
suspense. It might take a little  longer! Are we ready to start the

102
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:58,989
competition? Oh, yes, we are, Mans.  CHEERING Really good atmosphere

103
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:05,989
here, as I say, Stockholm is just  putting on the biggest party. Lot

104
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:14,989
the Eurovision Song Contest begin!  OK. We're up and running, the small

105
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,989
stand-alone spores create a big  dandelion. The theme is "come

106
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,989
together". I'd like to be at that  meeting, but there you go, they

107
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,989
signed off on it. The first song is  Belgium. The young girl is 19. She's

108
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:37,989
Laura Tesoro. The song is called  What's the Pressure.

109
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,989
Age 11 she performed as Anni and now  she's doing this upbeat, funky

110
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,989
number. It's a catchy pop song. But  it is difficult performing in the

111
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:48,989
first place.  So, we begin song number one for

112
00:12:49,000 --> 00:13:06,989
Belgium.  # Don't ask me why

113
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,989
the sun is shining  # The evening falls

114
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:17,989
The bright lights  # I see massive walls

115
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:25,989
weighing down the people all around  # Don't ask me why

116
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:59,989
the sun is shining  # Brings me all the joy

117
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,989
and hope in life  # I see massive walls

118
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:15,989
weighing down the people all around  Come on guys, stand up and dance

119
00:14:16,000 --> 00:16:06,989
with me, let's party!  Song number one, What's The

120
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:14,989
Pressure. The pressure is being 19  and opening this show. Onto number

121
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:25,989
two, the Czech Republic have never  appeared in the final before. This

122
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,989
is Gabriela Guncikova, with I Stand.  A woman standing alone, belting out

123
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:37,989
a massive Eurovision and them. No  Irish involvement, but one of the

124
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,989
co-writers of this is Irish. Nicky  Byrne had not get through the

125
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,989
semifinals. When you see some of the  songs that did get through, you will

126
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:57,989
howl at the moon at the injustice of  it all.

127
00:16:58,000 --> 00:20:01,989
Gabriela Guncikova, Czech Republic.  She did a great job, but nobody has

128
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:15,989
ever won performing in the second  position. Off to the Netherlands,

129
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,989
that man is Douwe Bob, the song is  Slow Down, railing against modern

130
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:25,989
life and how frenetic it is. In the  middle of the song, he did not just

131
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:31,989
slow down, he stops for ten seconds.  It is quite lengthy. He is

132
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,989
apparently putting 1000 euros on  himself to win. I hope he does not

133
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,989
need the money for tattooed laser  removal later in life, because I

134
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:42,989
think he has lost. It is quite a  nice song, though, a country and

135
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:58,989
western feel. See what you think.  # I'm going nowhere

136
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,989
and I'm going fast  # I should find a place

137
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,989
to go and rest  # I should find a place

138
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:13,989
to lay my head tonight  # Every morning

139
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,989
there's another start  # Guess I'm running scared

140
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:28,989
Guess I'm running on empty  # I keep searching

141
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:41,989
for an answer, for a way  # Now all I ever do

142
00:21:42,000 --> 00:22:15,989
don't seem to free me  # I keep searching

143
00:22:16,000 --> 00:23:58,989
for an answer today  Slow Down, Europe, I love you!

144
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:05,989
Thank you! Anybody else found the  guitarist creepy? Shutouts for Alex,

145
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:18,989
and Kelly, they are having a  barbecue. Becky and then are there

146
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:29,989
as well. This is Samra, for  Azerbaijan, with Miracle. Azerbaijan

147
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:48,989
always do well. I am sure they will  tonight. Flaming towers!

148
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,989
# You got in my head, boy  Like a song?

149
00:24:54,000 --> 00:25:08,989
# But the radio stopped to play us  long ago, long ago

150
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,989
# Guess I've had enough, boy  Guess I'm done

151
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:26,989
# I made a mistake  There's nothing to say

152
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:40,989
# Gonna take a miracle  to heal this love

153
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:49,989
# This time I say goodbye  I'm letting you go

154
00:25:50,000 --> 00:26:01,989
# It was a one way road  for you and I

155
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,989
# Yeah, we built this castle  based on lies

156
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:11,989
# And now we have hit  the point of no return

157
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:17,989
# We crash and we burn  You live and you learn

158
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:27,989
# Gonna take a miracle  to heal this love

159
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:37,989
# This time I say goodbye  I'm letting you go

160
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:48,989
# Gonna take a miracle  to save us now?

161
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,989
# And I won't pretend  to be all right

162
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,989
# My heart is on the line  Our end is my start

163
00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:27,989
# Gonna take a miracle  to save us now

164
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:41,989
# Gonna take a miracle  to save us now. #

165
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:56,989
Thank you! Quite a good reaction in  the hall. She did it better in

166
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:03,989
rehearsal. We will see how the  schools go. That was Azerbaijan.

167
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:10,989
This is Freddie from Hungary,  performing Pioneer. You must not

168
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:17,989
worry about him. If he does not do  well to night, he has always got his

169
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:24,989
hotel management degree. He may be  using it! The staging of this song

170
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,989
is extraordinary. On one side of the  stage, you have a Tibet and Monk

171
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:35,989
drumming. Who knows why? On the  other side, three backing singers,

172
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:36,989
they must have said on their CV they  were also backing dancers. They

173
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:45,989
lied.  # In a world

174
00:28:46,000 --> 00:29:18,989
where the poems sound fake  # And the love

175
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:25,989
is replaced by the fame  # A million hearts

176
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,989
of a million people  # Be proud, you were born

177
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:38,989
to be real, oh-oh  # A million lies

178
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,989
in a million temples  # It's only fear

179
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:52,989
Become a pioneer, oh-oh  # They don't know

180
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:59,989
how to value uniqueness  # When there ain't no products

181
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:11,989
to sell  # A million hearts

182
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:22,989
of a million people  # Be proud, you were born

183
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:31,989
to be real, oh-oh  # A million lies

184
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,989
in a million temples  # It's only fear

185
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:45,989
Become a pioneer, oh-oh  # A million hearts

186
00:30:46,000 --> 00:31:02,989
of a million people  # Be proud, you were born

187
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:11,989
to be real, oh-oh  # A mllion lies

188
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,989
in a million temples  # It's only fear

189
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:25,989
Become a pioneer, oh-oh  # You should know

190
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:49,989
You should know. #  I got the feeling he would have done

191
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:55,989
better if he dropped the drummer and  the dad dancing at the back.

192
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,989
Song number six is the first of the  big five to perform. That is Italy.

193
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,989
The big five are the countries that  make the biggest financial

194
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,989
contribution to Eurovision, so they  didn't have to take part in the

195
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,989
semifinals along with Sweden, who  won last year. The others are Spain,

196
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:15,989
Germany, France and of course  ourselves in the United Kingdom.

197
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,989
Italy has been represented by  Francesca Michielin and the song is

198
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:25,989
No Degree Of Separation. It's  already been a big hit in Italy, a

199
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,989
number one and certified gold. It is  a very good song, but the staging,

200
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,989
well, it's incomprehensible.  It's something to do with the Tree

201
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,989
of Life and a seed and no separation  between us. I did read a press

202
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,989
release but I didn't understand.  This is song six for Italy.

203
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:57,989
# Sempre un po' distante  dalle cose della vita

204
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:04,989
# Perche cosi profondamente non  l'avevo mai sentita

205
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:12,989
# E poi ho sentito un'emozione  accendersi veloce

206
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:18,989
# E farsi strada nel mio petto senza  spegnere la voce

207
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:27,989
# E non sentire piu tensione solo  vita dentro di me

208
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:40,989
# Non c'e piu nessuna divisione  fra di noi

209
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:51,989
# Siamo una sola direzione  in questo universo che si muove

210
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:58,989
# Non c'e nessun grado  di separazione

211
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:04,989
# Davo meno spazio al cuore  e piu alla mente

212
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:10,989
# Sempre un passo indietro  e l'anima in allerta

213
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:22,989
# Mai completamente aperta  e non da vicino

214
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:32,989
# E no non c'e alcuna esitazione  finalmente dentro di me

215
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:44,989
# There is no degree of space  between us

216
00:34:45,000 --> 00:35:09,989
# Dancing through the sky  We are shining

217
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:31,989
# E poi ho sentito un'emozione  accendersi veloce

218
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:39,989
# E farsi strada nel mio petto senza  spegnere la voce. #

219
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:55,989
Is it a potato? I don't know. I just  don't know. We are precious. Grazi.

220
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:01,989
You can get in touch by the BBC  Eurovision website, Facebook or

221
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:09,989
Twitter. You can download a score  card. Sarah and Helen are all

222
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:14,989
getting married and Sarah Martha S  had a w wanted to say hello it them.

223
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:19,989
This is song seven, Israel. His name  is Hovi Star and the song is Made Of

224
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:27,989
Stars. It's one of the better  ballads in the show tonight. It's

225
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:34,989
very popular with the Eurovision  fans. He's comes with a mighty hoop.

226
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,989
Sometimes his hoop lights up,  sometimes it doesn't. It's

227
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,989
temperamental like that. Let's see  how it is tonight. Hovi Star, Made

228
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:46,989
Of Stars, song seven.  # You speak, I listen

229
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:54,989
I'm your friend  # Like there's no floor

230
00:36:55,000 --> 00:38:47,989
and there's no ceiling and  # Dance with me like

231
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:53,989
we are made of stars  # Cos we are

232
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:58,989
Cos we are  # Dance with me like

233
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:49,989
we are made of stars. #  The dreams that you dare to dream

234
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,989
really do come true. Thank you  Europe! That was tense that. Many

235
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,989
indoor fireworks and that amount of  hair spray - never a good idea. But

236
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:02,989
his hoop lit up, that's the main  thing.

237
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,989
Song eight is really terrific. I  think it will do very well. Her name

238
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:13,989
is Poli Genova and the song is If  Love Was A Crime, representing

239
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,989
Bulgaria. When I say this next  performance contains flashing images

240
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,989
and strobe effects, it really does.  Some of them are on her. She might

241
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:28,989
have been in a Bulgarian version  Dragon's Den. She's invested in some

242
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,989
lovely light-up knee pads, handy for  gardening at night I imagine. I

243
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,989
don't know what she gets up to. It's  a really catchy pop song.

244
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:50,989
Song eight, enjoy. (  # Like the stars

245
00:40:51,000 --> 00:43:46,989
on the summer night  top five I'd say. Tonight's

246
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:54,989
Eurovision is a bitter sweet one for  many of us. It's the first contest

247
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,989
since the death of Sir Terry Wogan.  Eight years ago when I got this job,

248
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:02,989
Sir Terry graciously phoned me. The  only advice he had for me was -

249
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:11,989
don't have a drink before song nine.  Well, this is song nine. It's Frans

250
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,989
representing Sweden with a song  called If I Were Sorry. While the

251
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,989
crowd here cheer on their home boy,  I would urge you, back in the UK at

252
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:24,989
home, to raise a cup, a mug, a  glass, whatever you have in front of

253
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:30,989
you and give thanks for the man who  was and always will be the voice of

254
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:43,989
Eurovision Sir Terry Wogan. Sir  Terry, this is song nine.

255
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,989
# I'd crawl through the desert  on my hands and knees

256
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:57,989
# Swim under water  until my lungs exploded

257
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:10,989
# Wouldn't take a break to breathe  until I got close enough

258
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:22,989
# But I know deep inside for you  it's just another dance

259
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:47,989
# I'd hold my breath  until my face turned blue

260
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:49,989
# I'd rob a bank  and the post office too

261
00:45:50,000 --> 00:46:51,989
# And would you save  the falling tear or act as if

262
00:46:52,000 --> 00:47:52,989
Frans is only 17, he has been  hanging out with Joe and Jake all

263
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,989
week. That is the song that has been  stuck in my head all day. Will we be

264
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:05,989
coming back to Sweden next year? Who  knows.

265
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:16,989
What can we say, thank you so much  to our very own Frans. Yes, thank

266
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:23,989
you to Frans. We are here in  beautiful Stockholm. That is all

267
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:30,989
because of one man. Thanks! The  founder of our city! It was back in

268
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:35,989
1252, and maybe he is looking back  at us now, wishing to see the song

269
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:43,989
from Germany. Guess what, it is your  lucky day. The stage is ready for

270
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:50,989
Jamie-Lee from Germany.  Yes, another of the big five,

271
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:56,989
Germany. Jamie-Lee is performing a  song called Ghost. Maybe I am old

272
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:04,989
and grumpy, but there is not a thing  about her that does not annoy me.

273
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:14,989
They had a very lengthy meeting  about costume and set design, and

274
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,989
daylight every single idea they had.  I am sure the people at home would

275
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,989
love this, lasers coming from trees,  the moon, it has got things on her

276
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:32,989
head. If you like this, enjoyed!  # The love we get

277
00:49:33,000 --> 00:50:12,989
is the love we give  # We're lonely

278
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:24,989
in a crowded room together  # We're playing house

279
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:35,989
in these walls forever  # Can we get

280
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:53,989
an alternate ending, ooh  # The love we get

281
00:50:54,000 --> 00:51:35,989
is the love we give  # A money chest full of love

282
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,989
But we hid the key  # We're lonely

283
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:46,989
in a crowded room together  # We're playing house

284
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:57,989
in these walls forever  # We're lonely

285
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:09,989
in a crowded room together  # We're playing house

286
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:37,989
in these walls forever  Thank you, Europe!

287
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:51,989
Jamie-Lee, making York seem great.  Now, this is a man called Amir, J'ai

288
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:58,989
cherche, France. It had been the  bookies favourite, he is an

289
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,989
engaging, charismatic performer, and  one of the catchiest songs in the

290
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:13,989
competition. It is a lovely song, he  does a great job of it. Again, don't

291
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:20,989
worry about him, because he is in  fact a trained dentist.

292
00:53:21,000 --> 00:54:04,989
# You're the one  that's making me strong

293
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:20,989
# You're the one  that's making me strong

294
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:51,989
# You're the one  that's making me strong

295
00:54:52,000 --> 00:55:07,989
# You're the one  that's making me strong

296
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:22,989
# C'est quand  on n'y croit plus du tout

297
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:38,989
# You're the one  that's making me strong

298
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:54,989
# You're the one  that's making me strong

299
00:55:55,000 --> 00:56:09,989
# You're the one  that's making me strong

300
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:43,989
Lots of love he for Amir, with J'ai  cherche. But that may not translate

301
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,989
into votes, not everybody is a  die-hard like the people here

302
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:56,989
tonight. Tom and David with Brad and  Andrew are watching. Roger, Sam,

303
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:04,989
Tim, Kevin and the gang in  Islington. Andreas Andersson bussed

304
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:14,989
in our here in the stadium. This is  song 12 for Poland, his name is

305
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:16,989
Michal Szpak, with Color Of Your  Life. He does not seem to enjoy

306
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:24,989
performing very much.  # When loneliness is

307
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:30,989
knocking on your door  # Everything you loved

308
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:37,989
just disappears  # And when you feel that

309
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:42,989
everything is lost  # You need to know there's

310
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:48,989
no life without tears  # No-one is forever beautiful

311
00:57:49,000 --> 00:58:19,989
and young  # Everything you know

312
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:25,989
just disappears  # Fame and gold are nothing

313
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:31,989
you can be sure  # When there is no love

314
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:36,989
in your heart  # The choice is yours

315
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:42,989
who you really want to be  # So when you feel that

316
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:54,989
everything is lost  # You need to know

317
00:58:55,000 --> 00:59:00,989
there's no life without fear  # Every day we must

318
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:29,989
fight with the wind  # All these things

319
00:59:30,000 --> 01:00:32,989
are just empty desire  Even if you loved that, you have to

320
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,989
agree socks, a belt and hair  conditioner might have improved

321
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:40,989
that. Song 12 from Poland. There's  some Union Jacks. Hello boys. I'm

322
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,989
sure somebody at home knows them.  Thank you to Poland. I don't know

323
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,989
what the colour of life is, but I do  love the colour of his jacket. We

324
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:52,989
have now heard almost half of the  competing songs. Wow. If you haven't

325
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:58,989
found your favourite yet, don't  worry. We still have 14 songs to go.

326
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:03,989
She says that like it's a good thing  (! ) They are so crazy about

327
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:10,989
stadiums and Eurovision here, there  is a stadium next door with 10,000

328
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:15,989
people in it. You are watching the  Eurovision Song Contest 2016. So are

329
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:19,989
over 50 other countries. Right now  there are Eurovision parties all

330
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:25,989
around the world and one is  happening in the enormous arena next

331
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:31,989
to us. Mans has run over there to  check it out. I decided not to

332
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:34,989
because of high heels. Here's Mans  with Eurovision veterans. They're

333
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,989
watching a big screen in the  stadium. More fans are watching the

334
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:42,989
show on a very, very big screen.  Like I said. The atmosphere in here

335
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:49,989
is unbelievable. It's like being at  a football game, but you know, with

336
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:54,989
more champagne. I'm standing here  with two Eurovision royalties, look.

337
01:01:55,000 --> 01:02:00,989
Here we have them, Carola, who won  in '91. And Lorraine, who won in

338
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:08,989
2012. Are you enjoying the show?  Very much. I can't even hear new

339
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:14,989
this. Are you enjoying the show?  Very much, thank you. We were

340
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:16,989
discussing our Eurovision  favourites, mine being

341
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,989
# Everybody move your body  # We are dancing

342
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:29,989
# Everybody must be ready  # Jump it up. Which is yours? Mine

343
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:38,989
is from Israel with the universal  language

344
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:42,989
# Hallelujah What's your favourite?  My absolute favourite song of all

345
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:49,989
times is...  # We are the heroes of our time... I

346
01:02:50,000 --> 01:03:00,989
love that song! Nicely handled,  Mans! All right it's song 13 and you

347
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,989
heard Mans, it's Australia. Now  Australia were special guests last

348
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:07,989
year for the 60th anniversary. Now  it looks like they're here to stay.

349
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:11,989
Hey, one of the things we love about  Eurovision is the fact that it

350
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:15,989
defies logic, so let's not try to  explain it.

351
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:19,989
Australia are now in Eurovision.  Not just in it, they're In It To Win

352
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:25,989
It. This is one of the bookies'  favourites. Her name is Dami Im and

353
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:29,989
she's performing a really great pop  song called Sound Of Silence.

354
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:34,989
Without doubt one of the best vocals  in the competition tonight. She was

355
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:40,989
born in South Korea but emigrated to  Australia with her family at the age

356
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:46,989
of nine. She won Australia X Factor  in 2013. I don't know what's in the

357
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,989
big box, that she's sitting on,  possibly just her way home, I'm not

358
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:51,989
sure.  Song 13, it could be a winner,

359
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:57,989
Australia.  # Trying to feel your love

360
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:10,989
through face time  # Symphonies of dreams

361
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:14,989
and highlights  # Caught up

362
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:18,989
in this crazy fast life  # Now my heart awakes

363
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:38,989
to the sound of silence  # Now my heart awakes

364
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:52,989
to the sound of silence  # And it beats to

365
01:04:53,000 --> 01:05:00,989
the sound of silence  # Getting hard to break

366
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:06,989
through the madness  # You're not here

367
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:13,989
It never makes sense  # Now my heart awakes

368
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:41,989
to the sound of silence  # Now my heart awakes

369
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:54,989
to the sound of silence  # And it beats to

370
01:05:55,000 --> 01:06:04,989
the sound of silence  # I know I'm stronger

371
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:11,989
and I'm capable  # Now my heart awakes

372
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:32,989
to the sound of silence  # Now my heart awakes

373
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:46,989
to the sound of silence  # And it beats to

374
01:06:47,000 --> 01:07:06,989
the sound of silence. #  Seriously impressive lungs on that

375
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:14,989
girl, Dami Im, representing  Australia. They're loving it in the

376
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:20,989
arena. It's really, between that and  Russia tonight. For one of the best

377
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:27,989
songs in the competition... To  Cyprus, song 14. The band is calls

378
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:33,989
Minus One. Frankly Minus five might  be better. The song is called Alter

379
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:39,989
Ego. The next performance contains  extreme flashing images and

380
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:45,989
strobing. It's a big, rocky, noisy  number. It's the sort of song that

381
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:48,989
doesn't appeal, I think, so much to  the Eurovision fans in the arena,

382
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:55,989
but possibly to people watching  across Europe, they will like this.

383
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:57,989
The band perform in cages. I'm not  sure who's being protected - them or

384
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:10,989
the audience. Cyprus, song 14.  # Waking up alone

385
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:13,989
like a man that failed  # Trapped into the mist

386
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:17,989
of our fairytale  # And you know, you know

387
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:25,989
You know I'm still inside  # I knew it all along

388
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:28,989
but I couldn't tell  # This kind of love

389
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,989
would lock my heart in jail  # You know, you know, you know

390
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:38,989
it's doing time  # Caught in the middle

391
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:42,989
of the dawn and the sunrise  # Life is a miracle

392
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:46,989
I saw it in your eyes  # Under the spotlight

393
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:49,989
I howl in the moonlight  # Take it on

394
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:58,989
and get me through the night  # Take it on

395
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:07,989
and get me through the night  # Take it on

396
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:16,989
# I've heard it all before  People always say

397
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:19,989
# Time can take the sorrow  and the pain away

398
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:26,989
# You know, you know  This love will never die

399
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:30,989
# Caught in the middle of the dawn  and the sunrise

400
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,989
# Life is a miracle  I saw it in your eyes

401
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:37,989
# Under the spotlight  I howl in the moonlight

402
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:45,989
# Caught in the middle of the dawn  and the sunrise

403
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:49,989
# Life is a miracle  I saw it in your eyes

404
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:54,989
# Under the spotlight  I howl in the moonlight

405
01:09:55,000 --> 01:10:00,989
# Take it on and get me  through the night

406
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,989
# Take it on  Take it on until the morning light

407
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:08,989
# Take it on  and get me through the night

408
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:10,989
# Take it on  Take it on

409
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:15,989
# I cross the oceans  I fly on the skyline

410
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:25,989
# Drive any road  that will bring me by your side

411
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:39,989
# Take it on  and get me through the night

412
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:42,989
# Take it on  Take it on until the morning light

413
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:48,989
# Take it on  and get me through the night

414
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:50,989
# Take it on  Take it on

415
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:54,989
# Caught in the middle of  the dawn and the sunrise

416
01:10:55,000 --> 01:11:00,989
# Life is a miracle  I saw it in your eyes. #

417
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:12,989
Something for everyone. Eurovision  2016 - if you are joining us Joe and

418
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:22,989
Jake have not performed yet. They're  song 25 out of the 26. The King's

419
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:29,989
Cross massive are watching. Pauline  in Metherington. Gem in Bexleyheath.

420
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:37,989
And Julie and Sharon at a party of  20 in Gravesend. They're all

421
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:41,989
watching the show. This is song 15.  Her name is Sanja Vucic ZAA,

422
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:47,989
representing Serbia. The song is  called Goodbye (Shelter). It takes a

423
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:54,989
serious theme of domestic abuse and  violence. There is a strange backing

424
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:58,989
dancer, more like lurking than  choreography. He is meant to be.

425
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:08,989
There -- to be there.  Song 15, Serbia.

426
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:12,989
# I wish I could stop it  I wish I could fight it

427
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:24,989
# I thought that we were  meant for each other

428
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:39,989
# I played a fool so many times  Can't even count it

429
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:48,989
# Gotta fight my way  out of your hands

430
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:59,989
# I won't let you  tear my world apart

431
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:20,989
# I thought that it was  supposed to hurt me

432
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:31,989
# I put my hands up  but I won't surrender

433
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:36,989
# Don't need what doesn't  serve me any more

434
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:46,989
# I lick my wounds so many times  so that I can keep on fighting

435
01:13:47,000 --> 01:14:11,989
# I won't let you  tear my world apart

436
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:51,989
# Gotta fight my way  out of your hands

437
01:14:52,000 --> 01:15:01,989
# I won't let you  tear my world apart

438
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:04,989
# Every time I say goodbye  You try to break me down #

439
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:17,989
A date Eurovision ballad, the crowd  seemed to like it.

440
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:27,989
Thank you!  Does this face look familiar? His

441
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:39,989
name is Donny Montell, he came 14th  in 2012. He wore a blindfold. This

442
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:46,989
year, he is singing a song called  I've Been Waiting for This Night. He

443
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:55,989
is a really good performer, it is a  very catchy pop song. Bless him, he

444
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:56,989
has brought with him from Lithuania  a mini trampoline. See if you can

445
01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:11,989
spot it. It gets minimal use.  # Here we are together

446
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:17,989
You and I...I...  # Watching lights surround us

447
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:24,989
Feel the night...night...  # I was living in the dark

448
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:28,989
Try to heal my broken heart  # Here we are together

449
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:41,989
You and I...I...  # For a thousand years

450
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:45,989
Through a million tears  # With a hungry heart

451
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:49,989
Every day apart  # When I see your smile

452
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:59,989
and your beautiful eyes  # I get lost in time

453
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:03,989
Now I know that I...  # If only I could stay here

454
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:18,989
by your side...side...  # To promise you forever

455
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:25,989
here tonight...night...  # There is nothing I can do

456
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:29,989
That can take my heart from you  # If only I could stay here

457
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:41,989
by your side...side...  # For a thousand years

458
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,989
Through a million tears  # With a hungry heart

459
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:48,989
Every day apart  # When I see your smile

460
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:58,989
and your beautiful eyes  # I get lost in time

461
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:02,989
Now I know that I...  # Oh oh oh, oh oh

462
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:26,989
Oh oh oh, oh oh,  # For a thousand years

463
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:29,989
Through a million tears  # With a hungry heart

464
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:32,989
Every day apart  # When I see your smile

465
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:43,989
and your beautiful eyes  # I get lost in time

466
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:47,989
Now I know that I...  # Here we are together

467
01:18:48,000 --> 01:19:13,989
You and I. #  Song 16, four Lithuania, Donny

468
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:20,989
Montell. It ever happens, he has got  some new sneakers out of the

469
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:24,989
competition. A quick shout to Paul  Murphy and the gang on Dublin Hill,

470
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:33,989
and Cameron, Matt, Paul and Jamie  making flags in London. Still to

471
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:37,989
come, the actual Justin Timberlake,  performing two songs, plus Joe and

472
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:46,989
Jake are song 25. This lady is  hugging trees. Her name is Nina

473
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:49,989
Kraljic, for Croatia, with a song  called Lighthouse. The backing

474
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:57,989
singers might be in a witness  protection programme. I also feel

475
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:03,989
she may have lost some weight since  she bought this dress.

476
01:20:04,000 --> 01:21:10,989
# Your lighthouse  Your lighthouse

477
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:20,989
# Your lighthouse  Your lighthouse

478
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:24,989
# Harbours near  No more fear

479
01:21:25,000 --> 01:22:09,989
# Your lighthouse  Your lighthouse

480
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:21,989
# Your lighthouse  Your lighthouse

481
01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:58,989
# Your lighthouse  Your lighthouse

482
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:16,989
Song 17, Croatia.  We love you guys!

483
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:26,989
Now time for the actual bookies'  favourite. Song 18, for Russia, this

484
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,989
is Sergey Lazarev, You Are The Only  One. He has been on a charm

485
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:35,989
offensive to get rid of some of the  negative reaction which often

486
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:37,989
happens for Russia in the hall. He  has spoken out against the

487
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:49,989
homophobic laws in Russia, talked  about Ukraine, and he has a bakery

488
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:58,989
making cakes for dogs called Poodle  Strudel. It looks like Mans' staging

489
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:02,989
from last year, but he takes it up a  notch. The song is fine, but the

490
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:09,989
staging is extraordinary. It could  be a winner.

491
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:14,989
# We can never let  the word be unspoken

492
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:17,989
# We will never let our loving  go come undone

493
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:19,989
# Everything we had  is staying unbroken, now

494
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:40,989
# Nothin' or no-one's  gonna keep us apart

495
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:43,989
# Breakin' it down  but I'm still gettin' nowhere

496
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:51,989
# Thunder and lightning  It's gettin' excitin'

497
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:54,989
# Lights up the skyline  to show where you are

498
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:59,989
# My love is rising  The story's unwindin'

499
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,989
# Together we'll make it  and reach for the stars

500
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:06,989
# You're the only one  You're my only one

501
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:09,989
# You're my life  Every breath that I take

502
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:21,989
# You're the only one  My only one

503
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:25,989
# I could have told you  to slow down and stay down

504
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:29,989
# I could have told you a secret  Won't you keep it now?

505
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:32,989
# Thinking of making a showdown  when love is found

506
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:36,989
# Thinking of waiting  till you're around

507
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:44,989
# Nothin' or no-one's  gonna keep us apart

508
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,989
# Breakin' it down  but I'm still gettin' nowhere

509
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:54,989
# Thunder and lightning  It's gettin' excitin'

510
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:58,989
# Lights up the skyline  to show where you are

511
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:02,989
# My love is rising  The story's unwindin'

512
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:06,989
# Together we'll make it  and reach for the stars

513
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:09,989
# You're the only one  You're my only one

514
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:13,989
# You're my life  Every breath that I take

515
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:34,989
# You're the only one  My only one

516
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:38,989
# Thunder and lightning  It's gettin' excitin'

517
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:41,989
# Lights up the skyline  to show where you are

518
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:45,989
# You're the only one  You're my only one

519
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:49,989
# You're my life  Every breath that I take

520
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:57,989
# You're the only one  My only one. #

521
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:13,989
Kitchen sink, please. He deserves  point, just for syncing while

522
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:18,989
climbing a wall. The ball is at a  slight angle, that is how he can

523
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:29,989
pick his feet in and climb up. It is  really clever. That may well the our

524
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:34,989
winner tonight. Simon and Kevin are  watching in Spain, and this is song

525
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:41,989
19, Spain. Her name is Barei, and  the song is called Say Yay. In

526
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:46,989
rehearsals, it has gone well, it is  an up beat, fun pop song, but it may

527
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:55,989
struggle, being overshadowed by  Russia. Also, don't worry for Barei,

528
01:27:56,000 --> 01:28:07,989
she does a nasty fall in the middle  of this, but it is intentional.

529
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:24,989
# More than a thousand miles  until the end

530
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:28,989
# We're never gonna know  what lies ahead

531
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:37,989
# We only got today  to learn from our yesterday

532
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:39,989
# I feel alive  Bringing into play

533
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:41,989
# My whole life  Going all the way

534
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:43,989
# I'm still alive  And I turn away

535
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:47,989
# I feel alive  When I dare to say

536
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:52,989
# Won't fix by  running, running, running

537
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:59,989
# Hurray  Sing it la, la, la, la

538
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:04,989
# Right now  you're following your dreams

539
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:30,989
# No need to be afraid  Ooh, ah

540
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:41,989
# More than a thousand wounds  upon my hands

541
01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:45,989
# Of every time I fought them  face to face

542
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:55,989
# To find the way  to go back straight

543
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:56,989
# I feel alive  Bringing into play

544
01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:58,989
# My whole life  Going all the way

545
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:00,989
# I'm still alive  And I turn away

546
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:03,989
# I feel alive  When I dare to say

547
01:30:04,000 --> 01:30:11,989
# Won't fix by  running, running, running

548
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:17,989
# Hurray  Sing it la, la, la, la

549
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:23,989
# Right now  you're following your dreams

550
01:30:24,000 --> 01:31:06,989
If it was down to the crowd tonight,  that might be the winner, they

551
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:15,989
loved.  It -- loved it. She tore the roof

552
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:21,989
off this place, which is actually  the largest spherical building in

553
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:25,989
the world. You are watching the  Eurovision Song Contest. For all you

554
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:29,989
guys at home who love this show, it  doesn't have to end when the

555
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:35,989
broadcast is over. Whilst Petra  tries to flog you some euro tat, let

556
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:44,989
me tell you the names of the UK  jury, made up of professionals in

557
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:47,989
the UK. CC Sammy, BMonroe, Sean  McGee and they cast their votes last

558
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:52,989
night.  If you are a true fan you can buy

559
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:57,989
this cap. If you're a crazy fan, I  strongly recommend the Eurovision

560
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:02,989
straightjacket. You know what they  say - crazy is the new black. Let's

561
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:07,989
get back now to the show and the  seven remaining songs. Yes only

562
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:17,989
seven to go. Remember, Joe and Jake,  song 25. Ben, Rachel Paul and the

563
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:23,989
dogs are watching in London. There's  a UK-Belgian mash up in Brixton.

564
01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:29,989
This man is Justs. He's singing  Heartbeat and representing Latvia.

565
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:35,989
He began his music career as a  street musician in Riga. Look at him

566
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:40,989
now. He's training as a vocal coach  and hoping to open an alternative

567
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:48,989
music school, whatever that might  be. It's a really catchy song once

568
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:55,989
it gets going, but the verse does  seem a bit endless.

569
01:32:56,000 --> 01:33:00,989
This is song 20, Justs representing  Latvia.

570
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:23,989
# And things I did  for sure were wrong

571
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:49,989
# Feeling again that  you're breathing with me

572
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:57,989
# I learned by heart  You're not my own

573
01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:37,989
# Feeling again that  you're breathing with me

574
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:55,989
# Feeling again that  you're breathing with me

575
01:34:56,000 --> 01:35:31,989
# Feeling again that you're  breathing with me

576
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:35,989
# Feeling your heartbeat  # Feeling again that

577
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:57,989
you're breathing with me  Wow, well the people of Latvia that

578
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:01,989
Justs didn't give it his all. Thank  you so much. This is all for you. If

579
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:04,989
effort means points, he's getting a  lot of them.

580
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:09,989
He put everything into that. We've  had a special visitor in the box.

581
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:14,989
Next time you see Petra on stage, if  she's a bit sweaty and breathless,

582
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:19,989
it's because she madly made the long  trek up to our commentary box just

583
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:23,989
to say hi, extraordinary. Very nice  to see her. I think we're putting a

584
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:30,989
picture on Twitter apparently. We  used it as a photo opportunity,

585
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:35,989
obviously, didn't waste her time.  This is Jamala, performing a song

586
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:41,989
for the Ukraine, called 1944. It  refers to her grandmother who was

587
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:46,989
deported from Crimea in the 40s at  the hands of Stalin. This has caused

588
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:50,989
some controversy. But Jamala and  Ukraine deny it's anything to do

589
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:52,989
with Russia at the moment. Song 21  for Ukraine, a sincere, heart-felt

590
01:36:53,000 --> 01:40:03,989
performance here.  Thank you. Thank you, Europe. That's

591
01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:07,989
a moment of real emotion and you can  see the crowd reacted to it. I don't

592
01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:13,989
know how it came across on  television, but here in the hall,

593
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:19,989
people really appreciated it. That  was song 21 for the Ukraine. OK we

594
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:23,989
move on to Malta now. They failed to  qualify last year, but now they're

595
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:28,989
back. This is another artist who's  already been in the contest, 2002.

596
01:40:29,000 --> 01:40:32,989
She came second. She was only 12  points from winning the competition.

597
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:37,989
Her name is Ira Losco and the song  is called Walk On Water. I can tell

598
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:41,989
you, this isn't a secret, I didn't  overhear it in a lift or anything,

599
01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:44,989
she is five months, no I don't know  how many months pregnant she is.

600
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:50,989
That's a lie. I don't know that! But  she is pregnant and it's a little

601
01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:59,989
boy. Maternity wear is different in  Malta, that's all I'm saying.

602
01:41:00,000 --> 01:44:08,989
Wow. Glad the water didn't break  through that song. Those weren't the

603
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:11,989
waters she was working on. Not sure  whether that was the father lurking.

604
01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:20,989
But they're gone now. This is  Georgia. They've appeared in the

605
01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:27,989
final six times. This year they're  represented by Nika Kocharov and

606
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:32,989
Young Georgian Lolitaz. The song is  Midnight Gold. I have to warn you

607
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:37,989
that the next performance contains  extreme and prolonged flashing

608
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:41,989
images and strobing. You've never  seen anything like this. It's a wall

609
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:45,989
of noise. It's not for me, to be  honest, I don't think it's going to

610
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:49,989
go down very well here, but in lots  of countries, they may like this.

611
01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:52,989
There's nothing else like it in the  competition apart from Cyprus.

612
01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:55,989
They're the two, big, noisy, rocky  songs.

613
01:44:56,000 --> 01:44:58,989
Given the graphics available, they  are doing things that looked

614
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:13,989
embarrassing in 1977, there you go.  # And grabbed a cigarette

615
01:45:14,000 --> 01:45:28,989
out of your bag  # I never thought

616
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:50,989
this all could happen to me  # Pain and pleasure mixing in

617
01:45:51,000 --> 01:46:05,989
one bowl  # My flesh and bones

618
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:42,989
are dreaming in a haze  # Night will come

619
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:50,989
and so will the sin  # Night will come

620
01:46:51,000 --> 01:46:57,989
and so will the sin  # Night will come

621
01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:04,989
and so will the sin  # On your skin, on your skin

622
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:37,989
so come on  # And grabbed a cigarette

623
01:47:38,000 --> 01:48:02,989
out of your bag. #  Thank you, and happy birthday to my

624
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:06,989
mother!  Perhaps Stephen Hawking can explain

625
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:15,989
how that was only three minutes. It  felt a lot longer. I think Nicky

626
01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:22,989
Byrne is in's is not in the final,  and that was! Kelly and Paul and the

627
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:31,989
boys in London, and Nick and George  in London. Mark watching in Wapping,

628
01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:43,989
and Conrad in Farringdon. This is  song 24, Joe and Jake are next. This

629
01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:49,989
is Austria, ZOE, with Loin d'ici,  the first French in the Austrian

630
01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:53,989
entry since 1966, when they went on  to win. Her grandparents are French,

631
01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:56,989
she is comfortable speaking French.  It is a pretty song, but the staging

632
01:48:57,000 --> 01:48:58,989
overwhelms her.  # Et quand tu chantes

633
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:07,989
oui moi je chante aussi  # Et quand tu voles

634
01:49:08,000 --> 01:49:17,989
oui moi je vole aussi  # Et quand la route nous semble

635
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:56,989
sans issue  # Sans aucun doute

636
01:49:57,000 --> 01:50:09,989
meme si on s'ra perdu  # On s'elance, reuni,

637
01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:55,989
enivre, dans l'imprudence  # On chante, on chante

638
01:50:56,000 --> 01:51:40,989
On danse, on danse  # On chante, on chante

639
01:51:41,000 --> 01:52:08,989
On danse, on danse  A really charming young performer

640
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:12,989
there, ZOE. A pretty song. But it  might get lost on a night like this,

641
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:19,989
you don't know. This is the moment  of truth, song 25, Joe and Jake, for

642
01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:25,989
the UK. There they are. They have  done such a great job. Slightly

643
01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:31,989
awkward! They are just 21 and 22.  Their performance, they really

644
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:35,989
engage with the camera, they do a  great job. On stage are the drummers

645
01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:46,989
Ross Harries and Mark Pusey, the  backing vocals. If you sent in a

646
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:51,989
self it, you might see it projected  onto one of the screens. Jake has a

647
01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:54,989
nice time dancing on my face towards  the end of the song. Good luck, Joe

648
01:52:55,000 --> 01:53:00,989
and Jake, this is it!  # When you're not around

649
01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:06,989
it's beating slow  # And it's something

650
01:53:07,000 --> 01:53:10,989
that I've never known  # I'll be, I'll be the answer

651
01:53:11,000 --> 01:53:22,989
you've been waiting for  # I'll be the truth

652
01:53:23,000 --> 01:53:25,989
that you've been looking for  # You're not alone

653
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:33,989
We're in this together  # All that you want

654
01:53:34,000 --> 01:53:36,989
is right here forever  # You're not alone

655
01:53:37,000 --> 01:53:48,989
We're in this together  # All that you want

656
01:53:49,000 --> 01:53:51,989
is right here forever  # And when you fall

657
01:53:52,000 --> 01:54:10,989
I'll be your parachute  # I-I-I feel like

658
01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:21,989
I'm dancing in the sky  # You're not alone

659
01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:32,989
We're in this together  # All that you want

660
01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:36,989
is right here forever  # I-I-I feel like

661
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:51,989
I'm dancing in the sky  # Your smile

662
01:54:52,000 --> 01:55:06,989
tells me all I need to know  # Your eyes

663
01:55:07,000 --> 01:55:14,989
show me where I want to go, oh  # You're not alone

664
01:55:15,000 --> 01:55:18,989
We're in this together  # All that you want

665
01:55:19,000 --> 01:55:21,989
is right here forever  # I-I-I feel like

666
01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:56,989
I'm dancing in the sky  Heads held high, well done, Joe and

667
01:55:57,000 --> 01:56:00,989
Jake. Whatever happens tonight, they  can go home very proud of

668
01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:06,989
themselves, two very young boys  doing a great job for the United

669
01:56:07,000 --> 01:56:13,989
Kingdom. Lots of union Jacks in the  hall and a good response, a really

670
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:19,989
good response. This is it, this is  the last song in the competition.

671
01:56:20,000 --> 01:56:30,989
Song 26, Armenia, her name is Iveta  Mukuchyan, and the song is LoveWave.

672
01:56:31,000 --> 01:56:41,989
It is one of those songs, there is a  slow build, and then it just kicks

673
01:56:42,000 --> 01:56:45,989
off. It will be a great final, and  get the arena moving. This is the

674
01:56:46,000 --> 01:56:47,989
last song tonight, after we hear  this, we will have heard the winner.

675
01:56:48,000 --> 01:56:52,989
Hey, it's me.  Look, I know it might sound strange,

676
01:56:53,000 --> 01:56:55,989
but suddenly I'm not the same  I used to be.

677
01:56:56,000 --> 01:57:03,989
It's like I've stepped out of  space and time and come alive.

678
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:06,989
# When it touched me  the world went silent

679
01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:13,989
# The ground in motion set  off all sirens

680
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:36,989
# You took over my heartbeat...  beat...beat...beat...

681
01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:53,989
# Gave me faith now  I can break every single wall

682
01:57:54,000 --> 01:58:02,989
# Prove we can do it all  when all is out of love

683
01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:13,989
# Spread a lovewave and my heart  goes ba-ba-da-bu-who-oh-oh

684
01:58:14,000 --> 01:58:24,989
# I would give up  and lose all trials

685
01:58:25,000 --> 01:59:09,989
# Shook my life like an earthquake  Now I'm waking up

686
01:59:10,000 --> 01:59:17,989
# Gave me faith now  I can break every single wall

687
01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:26,989
# Prove we can do it all  when all is out of love

688
01:59:27,000 --> 01:59:33,989
# Spread a lovewave and my heart  goes ba-ba-da-bu-who-oh-oh. #

689
01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:50,989
That's it. We've seen it all. You'll  be able to vote very soon. Get a Ben

690
01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:55,989
and paper ready for all -- pen and  paper ready for all the details,

691
01:59:56,000 --> 02:00:03,989
which I will give you shortly. 26  people have sung now back to Petra

692
02:00:04,000 --> 02:00:06,989
and Mans. Thanks to Iveta. There you  have the 26 competing songs. I'm

693
02:00:07,000 --> 02:00:11,989
sure opinions are flying all around  in your living rooms. Who was best?

694
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:14,989
What was she wearing? This is a show  that everyone can have an opinion

695
02:00:15,000 --> 02:00:19,989
about, some of them are nice, some  of them are filled with phrase and

696
02:00:20,000 --> 02:00:24,989
some are down right vicious. I love  watching Eurovision. I hope somebody

697
02:00:25,000 --> 02:00:29,989
from one of the more attractive  countries wins. You know I

698
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:35,989
considered appearing on Eurovision  when I was a young man. There was no

699
02:00:36,000 --> 02:00:43,989
Eurovision when you were a young  man. There was barely Europe. This

700
02:00:44,000 --> 02:00:46,989
feels like the longest night of my  life. How long have we been

701
02:00:47,000 --> 02:01:13,989
watching? Five minutes.  Sir Ian McKellan and jark Jacobi! --

702
02:01:14,000 --> 02:01:17,989
Derek. We have Eurovision fans from  all over the world.

703
02:01:18,000 --> 02:01:22,989
CHEERING And you're just amazing.  You know what - OK. I even saw... I

704
02:01:23,000 --> 02:01:26,989
have to talk over this, the new  system this year doesn't affect the

705
02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:30,989
way you vote. I will give you voting  numbers in a second. As usual expert

706
02:01:31,000 --> 02:01:34,989
juries watching the rehearsals last  night and cast their votes which are

707
02:01:35,000 --> 02:01:38,989
converted into points and remain  under lock and key. The difference

708
02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:41,989
is that the spokesperson from each  country will only announce the

709
02:01:42,000 --> 02:01:44,989
points awarded by the jury. Those  points will be added to the

710
02:01:45,000 --> 02:01:48,989
scoreboard first. Then the public  votes will be converted into another

711
02:01:49,000 --> 02:01:53,989
set of points. They are put into one  big pot and added together. Petra

712
02:01:54,000 --> 02:01:57,989
and Mans will announce them from the  countries receiving the lowest total

713
02:01:58,000 --> 02:02:02,989
points to the highest. Stand by for  a thrilling reveal. It's worked well

714
02:02:03,000 --> 02:02:07,989
in rehearsals. Don't vote yet as  your vote won't count and you may be

715
02:02:08,000 --> 02:02:16,989
charged. UK viewers cannot vote by  text. Calls cost 15 p plus any

716
02:02:17,000 --> 02:02:21,989
access charge. Votes made via the  app cost 15 p. For full terms and

717
02:02:22,000 --> 02:02:27,989
conditions go to the website  bbc.co.uk/Eurovision. Now the know

718
02:02:28,000 --> 02:02:31,989
the rules. Let us find ourselves a  new Eurovision champion. Are you

719
02:02:32,000 --> 02:02:39,989

If you think Italy should win,  you'll need to add 06.

727
02:04:50,000 --> 02:05:08,989
If you're voting for Israel, you use  the number with 07 at the end.

728
02:05:09,000 --> 02:05:11,989
Is Bulgaria your favourite? Then you  need to put 08 at the end of the

729
02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:25,989
number.  To vote for Sweden, use the number

730
02:05:26,000 --> 02:05:47,989

731
02:05:48,000 --> 02:06:27,989

732
02:06:28,000 --> 02:06:29,989
put the number 11 at the end. To  vote for Poland, use the number with

733
02:06:30,000 --> 02:06:47,989
12 at the end.  If Cyprus is your favourite, you add

734
02:06:48,000 --> 02:07:25,989
14.  If you think Serbia deserve to win,

735
02:07:26,000 --> 02:07:46,989
use the number plus 15.  To vote for Lithuania, use the

736
02:07:47,000 --> 02:08:09,989
number plus 16.  If you want Russia to win, it's the

737
02:08:10,000 --> 02:08:46,989
number plus 18.  Is Spain your favourite? Then add

738
02:08:47,000 --> 02:09:12,989
19.  Does Latvia get your vote? Then

739
02:09:13,000 --> 02:09:27,989

Song 25 is the United Kingdom, but  remember UK viewers cannot vote for

745
02:10:54,000 --> 02:10:58,989
them. You could always call friends  abroad and ask them to vote for

746
02:10:59,000 --> 02:11:02,989
them! All the votes will be welcomed  from other countries, but you at

747
02:11:03,000 --> 02:11:10,989
home can't do, it don't bother doing  it. There they are, the boys.

748
02:11:11,000 --> 02:11:12,989
Finally, if you'd like to vote for  Armenia, use the number with 26 at

749
02:11:13,000 --> 02:11:32,989
the end.  Remember, UK viewers cannot vote by

750
02:11:33,000 --> 02:11:39,989
text and you can't vote for the  United Kingdom. The artists have

751
02:11:40,000 --> 02:11:44,989
been supporting each other all night  long, singing and dantsing along to

752
02:11:45,000 --> 02:11:49,989
each -- dancing along to each  other's songs. We're about to meet a

753
02:11:50,000 --> 02:11:54,989
guest. It's like a love fest. Keep  voting for your favourites, they

754
02:11:55,000 --> 02:12:03,989
need your support. Look who we have  here. Yes, that's the actual Justin

755
02:12:04,000 --> 02:12:06,989
Timberlake in the Green Room. Hello.  Welcome to the Eurovision Song

756
02:12:07,000 --> 02:12:12,989
Contest. Thank you. How's everyone  feeling?

757
02:12:13,000 --> 02:12:19,989
CHEERING  What have you been up to lately?

758
02:12:20,000 --> 02:12:26,989
Well, we've been going all the way  across Europe promoting our new film

759
02:12:27,000 --> 02:12:29,989
DreamWorks animations Trolls. Then  your people called my people and I

760
02:12:30,000 --> 02:12:33,989
said I have to come to Eurovision.  Yes, we did. Yeah, that's what

761
02:12:34,000 --> 02:12:37,989
happened (! ) You're very, very  welcome. Had you heard of the

762
02:12:38,000 --> 02:12:41,989
Eurovision Song Contest before? I've  seen the last two years, yes. You

763
02:12:42,000 --> 02:12:45,989
have. So you saw me winning last  year? Congratulations. You're doing

764
02:12:46,000 --> 02:12:49,989
just as good a job as the host.  Isn't he doing a great job tonight?

765
02:12:50,000 --> 02:12:54,989
Can't argue with that. He is doing a  great job, as is Petra. Do you have

766
02:12:55,000 --> 02:12:58,989
anything to say to the artists here  tonight? To all of you, I know what

767
02:12:59,000 --> 02:13:02,989
it's like to sing a song for the  first time or perform a song for the

768
02:13:03,000 --> 02:13:08,989
first time in fronts of - how many  people? 200 million. No big deal! So

769
02:13:09,000 --> 02:13:12,989
I know you must have been nervous  tonight, but you all represented

770
02:13:13,000 --> 02:13:19,989
your countries so very well. You  should all be so very proud. Cheers

771
02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:24,989
to you. All those cameras but not  one back there.

772
02:13:25,000 --> 02:13:27,989
Justin my new BFF. We're so happy  and honoured to have you here. The

773
02:13:28,000 --> 02:13:31,989
stage will be yours in a couple of  minutes. I'm performing my new song

774
02:13:32,000 --> 02:13:36,989
for everybody tonight, I'm nervous  myself. I'm got to stretch, get

775
02:13:37,000 --> 02:13:41,989
ready. Go stretch. Thank you, Justin  Timberlake. Yes, Justin is doing two

776
02:13:42,000 --> 02:13:46,989
songs tonight. I don't think it will  be the last big American to come

777
02:13:47,000 --> 02:13:52,989
visiting. I'm not so bad either.  Well... Maybe. No, you're not. Thank

778
02:13:53,000 --> 02:13:56,989
you very much. OK let's get  concentrated. This is a show that

779
02:13:57,000 --> 02:14:01,989
celebrates popular muse nick all  shapes and forms, in all genres and

780
02:14:02,000 --> 02:14:05,989
from all cultures. Let us stay on  this subject for a few minutes. For

781
02:14:06,000 --> 02:14:09,989
decades the pop scene has been  dominated by the US and UK. But in

782
02:14:10,000 --> 02:14:13,989
recent years, this little small  country in the north that we call

783
02:14:14,000 --> 02:14:25,989
Sweden has emerged as a force to be  reckoned with. Yes, we're not just

784
02:14:26,000 --> 02:14:31,989
Democrats. April 61974 was an  historical date in our country when

785
02:14:32,000 --> 02:14:35,989
the band Blue Swede became the first  ever artists to reach the number one

786
02:14:36,000 --> 02:14:40,989
spots on the American bill board.  And on the exact same date, Sweden

787
02:14:41,000 --> 02:14:46,989
won their very first Eurovision Song  Contest with a group called ABBA...

788
02:14:47,000 --> 02:14:50,989
CHEERING  The next video will tell you the

789
02:14:51,000 --> 02:14:54,989
story. So buckle up.  This video is made by the man who

790
02:14:55,000 --> 02:14:59,989
put together Madonna's Ray of Light  video. He likes fast cutting. He's

791
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:02,989
packed in over 70 Sweden songs and  you are going to recognise the vast

792
02:15:03,000 --> 02:15:06,989
majority of them. It is  extraordinary the amount of songs

793
02:15:07,000 --> 02:15:07,989
that have come from this small  country, population of just nine

794
02:15:08,000 --> 02:15:21,989
million.  # Save tonight and fight

795
02:15:22,000 --> 02:18:56,989
the break of dawn  And apologies, I hit my button by

796
02:18:57,000 --> 02:19:00,989
mistake in the middle of that. I did  not swear, so I happily still have a

797
02:19:01,000 --> 02:19:08,989
job!  Now, he has won nine Emmy awards,

798
02:19:09,000 --> 02:19:11,989
seven American music awards, for any  awards and the hearts of millions of

799
02:19:12,000 --> 02:19:17,989
fans around the globe. He is a  singer, composer, actor and one of

800
02:19:18,000 --> 02:19:18,989
the biggest performers in the world.  Ladies and gentlemen, Justin

801
02:19:19,000 --> 02:19:47,989
Timberlake!  # Don't be so quick to walk away

802
02:19:48,000 --> 02:19:50,989
Dance with me  # Got time, but I don't mind

That shakin' thing you do  # So you grab your girls

02:20:18,000 --> 02:20:20,989
and you grab a couple more  # And you all could meet me

807
02:20:21,000 --> 02:20:23,989

809
02:20:26,000 --> 02:20:28,989
then you sail to the right  # Don't be so quick to walk away

810
02:20:29,000 --> 02:20:31,989
Dance with me  # Talk to me, boy

811
02:20:32,000 --> 02:20:54,989
No disrespect, I don't mean no harm  # Talk to me, boy

812
02:20:55,000 --> 02:20:57,989
I can't wait to have you in my arms  # Talk to me, boy

soon, so keep dancing  Justin Timberlake, he won't be the

852
02:25:19,000 --> 02:25:21,989
last American superstar we get, 200  million people, 50 countries, that

853
02:25:22,000 --> 02:25:31,989
could well be a regular occurrence  now. They have finally figured out

854
02:25:32,000 --> 02:25:37,989
it the Super Bowl of Europe. Don't  worry, lots of Eurovision madness to

855
02:25:38,000 --> 02:25:43,989
come, there is a proper Eurovision  interval act on its way, and it is

856
02:25:44,000 --> 02:25:48,989
genius, you will really enjoy it.  The lines are still open, your vote

857
02:25:49,000 --> 02:25:52,989
is crucial, the artists need your  support. They are waiting in the

858
02:25:53,000 --> 02:25:58,989
green room. Before the night is  over, one of them will be the new

859
02:25:59,000 --> 02:26:06,989
winner. For now, they are all  winners. Give them a big hand.

860
02:26:07,000 --> 02:26:08,989
There will be a recap of all of the  songs, to vote for your favourite,

861
02:26:09,000 --> 02:26:23,989
call...  Remember, you can't vote for the UK.

For full terms and conditions, go to  the website.

863
02:26:32,000 --> 02:26:38,989
While we are watching, if you're  more shout outs, Ethan and set in

864
02:26:39,000 --> 02:26:43,989
Christchurch, Andrew in is born is  having his annual massive party,

865
02:26:44,000 --> 02:26:51,989
they have a smartphone app for  voting. They will be voting --

866
02:26:52,000 --> 02:26:58,989
announcing their vote. A party in  Long Eaton tonight. Lottie and

867
02:26:59,000 --> 02:27:05,989
Esteban watching at their barbecue.  A barbecue! The UK might have a

868
02:27:06,000 --> 02:27:14,989
chance, here's hoping! Melanie in  Derby and family having a classic

869
02:27:15,000 --> 02:27:20,989
Buffy, getting tipsy. Phil and Paul  watching with a takeaway curry

870
02:27:21,000 --> 02:27:30,989
later. This is the first time he has  watched sober in over 20 years, good

871
02:27:31,000 --> 02:27:34,989
luck! Andy, Kate and Ellie having a  party, her none would have been 100

872
02:27:35,000 --> 02:27:40,989
years old yesterday. Jeanette wants  a shout out in Bucks, looking

873
02:27:41,000 --> 02:27:44,989
forward to seeing you wins the  family trophy this year. The

874
02:27:45,000 --> 02:27:49,989
Ferguson clan waving their flags and  raising a glass or two for Sir Terry

875
02:27:50,000 --> 02:27:55,989
Wogan. Russian vodka, and Swedish  meatballs, in Sunderland.

876
02:27:56,000 --> 02:28:07,989
Perfection. A shout out to Norway,  we watched the Eurovision on BBC.

877
02:28:08,000 --> 02:28:08,989
Greetings. Some in Potters bar is  busy stopping the old fogeys from

878
02:28:09,000 --> 02:28:36,989
getting excited. They dancing?  James, have EA, Tim and Baxter in

879
02:28:37,000 --> 02:29:30,989
Soho.  A lot of people asking if they can

880
02:29:31,000 --> 02:29:34,989
vote for the American entrant. Just  to remind you, Justin Timberlake is

881
02:29:35,000 --> 02:30:11,989
a special guest, he has not fallen  on hard times.

882
02:30:12,000 --> 02:30:20,989
Remember, you can't vote for the  United Kingdom. Nothing amusing

883
02:30:21,000 --> 02:30:23,989
happens, you just can't. I'm told,  it doesn't matter what I say, they

884
02:30:24,000 --> 02:30:31,989
always get loads of people trying to  vote for the United Kingdom. You

885
02:30:32,000 --> 02:30:34,989
can't. Coming up soon such a great  piece of entertainment from Petra

886
02:30:35,000 --> 02:30:37,989
and Mans. It's really clever and  it's something for the Eurovision

887
02:30:38,000 --> 02:30:41,989
fans. This is very sweet as well.  Your vote will make a difference.

888
02:30:42,000 --> 02:30:46,989
Now we have another special guest  with us here in the arena. This

889
02:30:47,000 --> 02:30:51,989
young lady is none other than last  year's winner of junior Eurovision

890
02:30:52,000 --> 02:30:58,989
Song Contest, Destiny from Malta. Hi  everybody. Thank you. You won with a

891
02:30:59,000 --> 02:31:02,989
record-breaking 185 points, with  your song Not My Soul. How has your

892
02:31:03,000 --> 02:31:07,989
life changed since winning? It is  brilliant. I'm so lucky I've won the

893
02:31:08,000 --> 02:31:11,989
junior Eurovision. Right now I'm  working on new material to grow in

894
02:31:12,000 --> 02:31:16,989
the music industry. Last but not  least, I would love to invite you

895
02:31:17,000 --> 02:31:21,989
all to the Malta for this year's  junior Eurovision. Thank you.

896
02:31:22,000 --> 02:31:26,989
Wonderful. Good luck to you Destiny  and good luck to Malta hosting this

897
02:31:27,000 --> 02:31:28,989
year's junior Eurovision Song  Contest. What a special moment for

898
02:31:29,000 --> 02:31:47,989
her.  The lines are still open, keep

899
02:31:48,000 --> 02:31:50,989
voting to make sure your favourite  will be our new winner of

900
02:31:51,000 --> 02:31:56,989
Eurovision. First let's look back in  time. Up until this year, the

901
02:31:57,000 --> 02:32:00,989
Eurovision Song Contest has crowned  60 winners. Actually 63 if you count

902
02:32:01,000 --> 02:32:08,989
1969 when four countries split the  win. Please don't interrupt me

903
02:32:09,000 --> 02:32:11,989
again. Over the years, 63 winners  have graced our stage. It's

904
02:32:12,000 --> 02:32:16,989
interesting to look at all these  winners and see if one can find a

905
02:32:17,000 --> 02:32:22,989
common thread. Is there a formula?  Me and Mans decided to look deeper

906
02:32:23,000 --> 02:32:28,989
into this and sent all the 60... 3!  Winners to a lab in Switzerland

907
02:32:29,000 --> 02:32:33,989
where some of the brightest minds in  modern science wrote the songedz

908
02:32:34,000 --> 02:32:37,989
into -- songs into molecules and  pieced them back together again. We

909
02:32:38,000 --> 02:32:42,989
finally got the result. This, ladies  and gentleman, is the ultimate

910
02:32:43,000 --> 02:32:45,989
Eurovision winner. All the  components from previous success is

911
02:32:46,000 --> 02:32:51,989
melted down into one perfect  Eurovision smash. It's time for us

912
02:32:52,000 --> 02:32:56,989
to present the results. If you want  to win the Eurovision Song Contest

913
02:32:57,000 --> 02:33:05,989
we suggest that you listen and  learn. This is so ambitious and

914
02:33:06,000 --> 02:33:09,989
funny. Fans will love it. A  powerful, majestic start, maybe a

915
02:33:10,000 --> 02:33:14,989
battle horn of some kind. Step two,  drums. There has to be drums. It

916
02:33:15,000 --> 02:33:17,989
doesn't hurt if the drums are played  by gorgeous, topless men. It's

917
02:33:18,000 --> 02:33:22,989
proven very efficient throughout the  years. But please feel free to try

918
02:33:23,000 --> 02:33:30,989
other alternatives. It's proven  helpful to go the exact opposite

919
02:33:31,000 --> 02:33:36,989
way, use a grandmother. Step three,  show the viewers your country's

920
02:33:37,000 --> 02:33:39,989
ethnic background by using an old,  traditional folklore instrument that

921
02:33:40,000 --> 02:33:43,989
no-one's heard of before. No, no, in  this case, it's proven much more

922
02:33:44,000 --> 02:33:51,989
efficient to not use a young model.  Go with an old man instead. A beard

923
02:33:52,000 --> 02:33:55,989
helps. This is a Swedish instrument,  a small piece from the horn family

924
02:33:56,000 --> 02:34:01,989
inherited from the Vikings. Just  make something up. No-one will know.

925
02:34:02,000 --> 02:34:11,989
Step four, in Eurovision nothing  says winner like a violin. Trust us,

926
02:34:12,000 --> 02:34:19,989
bring a violin. That is the actual  Alexander Vybeck. Guess he wasn't

927
02:34:20,000 --> 02:34:23,989
busy. The violin, drums can make it  feel old fashioned but this can be

928
02:34:24,000 --> 02:34:28,989
fixed by adding a DJ who pretends to  scratch. In real life, this is 30

929
02:34:29,000 --> 02:34:32,989
years old, but in Eurovision it will  give your number a contemporary

930
02:34:33,000 --> 02:34:41,989
feel. Costumes - look memorable.  Something that the viewers will

931
02:34:42,000 --> 02:34:50,989
notice. Perfect! Step seven, the  song. Everything else might -- the

932
02:34:51,000 --> 02:34:54,989
song is essential. Love works. Peace  is also a popular way to go. Peace

933
02:34:55,000 --> 02:34:59,989
is good. ABBA won the competition  with a song about war, Waterloo, but

934
02:35:00,000 --> 02:35:07,989
this is not something we recommend.  Now, when you have everything you

935
02:35:08,000 --> 02:35:12,989
need go for it and don't look back.  # Let the song begin with passion

936
02:35:13,000 --> 02:35:16,989
# Let the wind begin to blow.  # You can break the rules of fashion

937
02:35:17,000 --> 02:35:22,989
and your chance to win shall grow.  # Look into the TV camera, so the

938
02:35:23,000 --> 02:35:28,989
audience can see  # That you love but not desperate.

939
02:35:29,000 --> 02:35:31,989
# Fill the stage with light as  dancers will join us.

940
02:35:32,000 --> 02:35:41,989
# The expectations grow  # It's time for the chorus.

941
02:35:42,000 --> 02:35:46,989
# Love, love, peace, peace.  # Peace, peace, love, love. And a

942
02:35:47,000 --> 02:35:51,989
man in a hamster wheel.  #, love, peace, peace, love.

943
02:35:52,000 --> 02:35:56,989
# Make it unforgettable  # You will be the best.

944
02:35:57,000 --> 02:36:04,989
# And win the Eurovision Song  Contest.

945
02:36:05,000 --> 02:36:09,989
# Now we'll go down a notch.  # Hour hands will touch, pretending

946
02:36:10,000 --> 02:36:16,989
we're in love  # It's you and me and when we change

947
02:36:17,000 --> 02:36:27,989
the key, we'll give the world a  show.

948
02:36:28,000 --> 02:36:30,989
# It begins to snow. Love, love,  peace, peace

949
02:36:31,000 --> 02:36:35,989
# And a burning fake pinot  # Peace, peace, love, love

950
02:36:36,000 --> 02:36:43,989
# And a Russian man on skates  # Love, peace, peace, love

951
02:36:44,000 --> 02:36:56,989
# It will be incredible  # You will be the best

952
02:36:57,000 --> 02:37:00,989
# Love, love, peace, peace  # Party for everybody

953
02:37:01,000 --> 02:37:04,989
# Peace, peace, love, love  # More tricks and a hamster wheel

954
02:37:05,000 --> 02:37:09,989
# Love, peace, peace, love  # And we can guarantee that you will

955
02:37:10,000 --> 02:37:16,989
be the best  # And win the Eurovision Song

956
02:37:17,000 --> 02:37:18,989
Contest.  # And win the Eurovision Song

957
02:37:19,000 --> 02:37:23,989
Contest!  #

958
02:37:24,000 --> 02:37:30,989
CHEERING AND  APPLAUSE Wow. The winners of

959
02:37:31,000 --> 02:37:34,989
Eurovision Song Contest 2016 really  are Petra and Mans and the Swedish

960
02:37:35,000 --> 02:37:39,989
production team, the writers,  directors, they've done a stunning

961
02:37:40,000 --> 02:37:44,989
job. I'm in awe of these two, Petra  and Mans. To do all that, now

962
02:37:45,000 --> 02:37:47,989
they've got to talk. That's how it's  supposed to be done according to the

963
02:37:48,000 --> 02:37:52,989
experts. Exactly. This is just a  suggestion. You don't have to do

964
02:37:53,000 --> 02:37:59,989
everything. Of course. But talking  of experts, I'd like to introduce a

965
02:38:00,000 --> 02:38:08,989
friend of ours, a special guest Miss  Linda Woodruf.

966
02:38:09,000 --> 02:38:14,989
Her real name is different. Her dad  is from Bethnal Green. I am the

967
02:38:15,000 --> 02:38:21,989
spokesperson from the EBU. I work  together with the executive

968
02:38:22,000 --> 02:38:27,989
supervisor, Mr Jon Ola Sand. I love  you. It is a great honour to share

969
02:38:28,000 --> 02:38:36,989
the stage tonight with these two  amazing hosts, Miss Petra Mede and

970
02:38:37,000 --> 02:38:39,989
Mr Mans. We love us some Mans.  Eurovision is being broadcast in

971
02:38:40,000 --> 02:38:48,989
every country in the world, except  for a few, but even China is

972
02:38:49,000 --> 02:38:53,989
watching this year. And America. Yo.  I'm here as a spokesperson to answer

973
02:38:54,000 --> 02:38:58,989
some of your questions. And because  Petra and Mans have a costume

974
02:38:59,000 --> 02:39:07,989
change... You've been able to e-mail  me at my official address

975
02:39:08,000 --> 02:39:12,989
Linda.spokesperson at EBU. Woodruff.  Eurovision slash question slash

976
02:39:13,000 --> 02:39:19,989
fans.co.uk. The first question is  from Mr Banna. Why are we in Sweden?

977
02:39:20,000 --> 02:39:27,989
Well, that's hay question Swedes ask  themselves every winter, Autumn and

978
02:39:28,000 --> 02:39:35,989
spring. The answer is this: Mans and  his balloon boy won last year in

979
02:39:36,000 --> 02:39:42,989
Austria. , beating out this poor  Russian girl and her song A Million

980
02:39:43,000 --> 02:39:48,989
Horses. That is why Mans won and we  brought back the contest here to

981
02:39:49,000 --> 02:39:57,989
beautiful Switzerland. Lovely. Next  question is from Sam. "Do you want

982
02:39:58,000 --> 02:40:01,989
to buy Viagra? Sorry spam! Last  question, is Mans single? Very valid

983
02:40:02,000 --> 02:40:11,989
question. I can tell you this much -  he wasn't last night. So that's all

984
02:40:12,000 --> 02:40:19,989
for me. This is Linda Woodruf saying  hope and glory.

985
02:40:20,000 --> 02:40:21,989
I wondered if they'd use the real  audience, no they went with security

986
02:40:22,000 --> 02:40:32,989
guards. Much wiser.  Welcome back. The lines are still

987
02:40:33,000 --> 02:40:38,989
open. Keep voting for your  favourite. We are live here in

988
02:40:39,000 --> 02:40:42,989
Sweden, a country that is, well,  obsessed with the Eurovision. Not in

989
02:40:43,000 --> 02:40:47,989
the way Petra, for example, is  obsessed with attention. But in a

990
02:40:48,000 --> 02:40:56,989
more healthy way! Look and you'll  see for yourselves in this new

991
02:40:57,000 --> 02:41:02,989
documentary, the nerd nation.  Sweden has won the Eurovision Song

992
02:41:03,000 --> 02:41:06,989
Contest six times in 41 years. It  might just be their proudest

993
02:41:07,000 --> 02:41:11,989
achievement since inventing the  cheese slicer. If you ask any Swede,

994
02:41:12,000 --> 02:41:16,989
which is the greatest Eurovision  nation in the world? He would

995
02:41:17,000 --> 02:41:21,989
answer, without hesitation, Ireland.  Because he knows that. Swedes are

996
02:41:22,000 --> 02:41:25,989
obsessed with the Eurovision. You  can see it everywhere, from the only

997
02:41:26,000 --> 02:41:32,989
tear drops ear drops to the every  way that I can soup. We're

998
02:41:33,000 --> 02:41:38,989
absolutely bonkers for that stuff.  To bratwurst. You can see it in

999
02:41:39,000 --> 02:41:44,989
religion, culture, astron my, even  in education. Right now the most

1000
02:41:45,000 --> 02:41:47,989
popular school in Sweden is the Dana  international school, where they

1001
02:41:48,000 --> 02:41:57,989
incorporate the Eurovision Song  Contest in all subjects. From

1002
02:41:58,000 --> 02:42:02,989
language studies. Douze points. To  mathematics. If Norway gives Sweden

1003
02:42:03,000 --> 02:42:05,989
ten points and the remaining 41  countries give Sweden 12 points

1004
02:42:06,000 --> 02:42:11,989
each, how many points will Sweden  have? Eurovision is so popular some

1005
02:42:12,000 --> 02:42:19,989
Swedish computer hackers have even  hacked their own computers so that

1006
02:42:20,000 --> 02:42:23,989
it escape now means Eurovision Song  Contest. I bet something cool

1007
02:42:24,000 --> 02:42:26,989
happens when you press it. The  Eurovision Song Contest is moving

1008
02:42:27,000 --> 02:42:41,989
fast. Some claim it's taken God's  place. Take me to your heaven. In

1009
02:42:42,000 --> 02:42:45,989
the name of the Lordy, I hear by  baptise you Conchita Katarina and

1010
02:42:46,000 --> 02:42:49,989
the waves. The Swedish obsession  with Eurovision has a down side.

1011
02:42:50,000 --> 02:43:00,989
Street gangs roam the streets of  Stockholm. The infamous monsters are

1012
02:43:01,000 --> 02:43:04,989
a group of juvenile delink wents,  but the dreaded kids are these. We

1013
02:43:05,000 --> 02:43:08,989
don't care what society says. We  want to hang out and listen to

1014
02:43:09,000 --> 02:43:12,989
Euphoria. And other well known  songs. No doubt.

1015
02:43:13,000 --> 02:43:18,989
Have the Swedes lost their minds?  Has it all gone too far? And the

1016
02:43:19,000 --> 02:43:25,989
Lord said, go out and compete in  music. Is the Eurovision movement a

1017
02:43:26,000 --> 02:43:34,989
blessing or a curse? I know one  thing, the future belongs to the

1018
02:43:35,000 --> 02:43:54,989
Eurovisionaries not the euro don't  know varies. I'm going to press it.

1019
02:43:55,000 --> 02:44:01,989
Back to Petra in a fabulous gown for  the voting. Thank you to the

1020
02:44:02,000 --> 02:44:05,989
documentary the nerd nation. All  right, behind me now the clock is

1021
02:44:06,000 --> 02:44:11,989
ticking. Believe me, I know exactly  what that feels like.

1022
02:44:12,000 --> 02:44:16,989
LAUGHTER There are only seconds left  to affect the outcome of this

1023
02:44:17,000 --> 02:44:23,989
competition. If you want to see your  favourite song win, you have to

1024
02:44:24,000 --> 02:44:30,989
vote. Joe and Jake. Yay. Tonight you  will have the final word. Hurry up

1025
02:44:31,000 --> 02:44:37,989
and vote, because the lines will  close in... 15, 14, 13... Counts

1026
02:44:38,000 --> 02:44:48,989
downs are very hard. Even the Swedes  struggle with a counts down.

1027
02:44:49,000 --> 02:44:53,989
4, 3, 2, 1... Europe, stop voting.  That's it. The lines are now closed.

1028
02:44:54,000 --> 02:45:00,989
Please do not call or use the app,  your vote will not count and you may

1029
02:45:01,000 --> 02:45:04,989
still be charged. In 2007, a young  singer entered our national

1030
02:45:05,000 --> 02:45:09,989
selection and won the hearts of an  entire country. Eight years later,

1031
02:45:10,000 --> 02:45:14,989
he got to represent us in the  Eurovision Song Contest and won the

1032
02:45:15,000 --> 02:45:23,989
hearts of an entire continent.  Ladies and gentleman, the reigning

1033
02:45:24,000 --> 02:45:27,989
champion of Eurovision, and my dear,  dear friend, Mans Zelmerlow. This is

1034
02:45:28,000 --> 02:45:30,989
Mans going, if I'd entered this year  - I would have won again. Look at my

1035
02:45:31,000 --> 02:45:35,989
clever staging. The dots on the  suits track the lights along the

1036
02:45:36,000 --> 02:45:51,989
floors. You'll see what the mean.  -- what I mean.

1037
02:45:52,000 --> 02:46:28,989
# And the dreams we share,  they are never gonna fade

1038
02:46:29,000 --> 02:46:54,989
# We could mend every scar  by looking at the stars

1039
02:46:55,000 --> 02:47:52,989
# But we're dancing  with the demons in our minds

1040
02:47:53,000 --> 02:48:06,989
# But we're dancing  with the demons in our minds

1041
02:48:07,000 --> 02:48:18,989
# But we're dancing  with the demons in our minds

1042
02:48:19,000 --> 02:48:56,989
# But we're dancing  with the demons in our minds

1043
02:48:57,000 --> 02:49:07,989
# But we're dancing  with the demons in our minds

1044
02:49:08,000 --> 02:49:34,989
Mans Zelmerlow. Much loved here in  the hall. They have hosted all week,

1045
02:49:35,000 --> 02:49:42,989
they are so popular here in Sweden.  It is nearly time.

1046
02:49:43,000 --> 02:49:46,989
The first half of the voting. Thank  you to Mans Zelmerlow, last year's

1047
02:49:47,000 --> 02:49:53,989
winner, and it is time to find  ourselves a new winner. It is time

1048
02:49:54,000 --> 02:49:58,989
to find out how you have voted. As  we mentioned earlier, we were going

1049
02:49:59,000 --> 02:50:02,989
to present the votes in a new way.  This year, for the very first time

1050
02:50:03,000 --> 02:50:08,989
in history, we are going to present  the vote from the national jury 's

1051
02:50:09,000 --> 02:50:12,989
and the telephone vote separately.  Nothing has been changed in how you

1052
02:50:13,000 --> 02:50:20,989
vote, the only difference is in how  we present the winner. First, let's

1053
02:50:21,000 --> 02:50:24,989
get the points from all the national  jury is, just like before. I will

1054
02:50:25,000 --> 02:50:30,989
talk to all of the spokespersons,  they will give us the Jura's votes,

1055
02:50:31,000 --> 02:50:36,989
from one to 12 points. These are  only the points from the jury 's,

1056
02:50:37,000 --> 02:50:42,989
50% of the final was old. The other  50% comes from you at home. To find

1057
02:50:43,000 --> 02:50:48,989
out if everything has gone according  to plan with the jury vote, let's

1058
02:50:49,000 --> 02:50:55,989
turn to the executive supervisor of  Eurovision, the most photographed

1059
02:50:56,000 --> 02:51:01,989
Norwegian, Jon Ola Sand.  Charisma alert! There he is! Thank

1060
02:51:02,000 --> 02:51:08,989
you, I can confirm we have a valid  result from the 42 professional jury

1061
02:51:09,000 --> 02:51:11,989
's that have voted. We will now  start the tour around Europe to

1062
02:51:12,000 --> 02:51:20,989
collect the points and get them  presented. In the meantime, we will

1063
02:51:21,000 --> 02:51:26,989
look at the votes from the public...  Brilliantly done, well done!

1064
02:51:27,000 --> 02:51:33,989
Take it away.  A dream dinner date!

1065
02:51:34,000 --> 02:51:39,989
Let's start. We will go to each  country to get the points from your

1066
02:51:40,000 --> 02:51:46,989
national jury. First, we turn to  last year's hosting country,

1067
02:51:47,000 --> 02:51:51,989
Austria. Good evening, Vienna! Good  evening, Stockholm!

1068
02:51:52,000 --> 02:51:59,989
Hello, Australia, America, world! It  was a pleasure for us to be the

1069
02:52:00,000 --> 02:52:04,989
presenter of the Eurovision Song  Contest in Vienna, but this year is

1070
02:52:05,000 --> 02:52:10,989
also fine. The back, relax and have  a great time. You should relax, I

1071
02:52:11,000 --> 02:52:19,989
will relax on Monday morning! We  need your 12 points. Our 12 points

1072
02:52:20,000 --> 02:52:24,989
go to Australia.  A strong start for Australia.

1073
02:52:25,000 --> 02:52:40,989
Thank you so much. Now we turn to  Iceland, good evening.

1074
02:52:41,000 --> 02:52:44,989
Great. Could he not get a dog  sitter?

1075
02:52:45,000 --> 02:52:48,989
I love you, and Luna wants to send  special regards to you.

1076
02:52:49,000 --> 02:52:57,989
She must be thrilled.  You are not so bad either! Can we

1077
02:52:58,000 --> 02:53:05,989
hear the 12 points from Iceland? The  12 point from Iceland go to... The

1078
02:53:06,000 --> 02:53:16,989
Netherlands. The Netherlands, 12  points.

1079
02:53:17,000 --> 02:53:29,989
Douwe Bob. Good evening, Azerbaijan.  Can you hear me?

1080
02:53:30,000 --> 02:53:38,989
Can he? This is your favourite city  calling. The last time you were

1081
02:53:39,000 --> 02:53:44,989
here, Loreen impressed us and she  won. Now it is time to see who has

1082
02:53:45,000 --> 02:53:54,989
won tonight. Who has won the 12  point? Yes, our 12 points go to...

1083
02:53:55,000 --> 02:54:02,989
Rusher. Russia, 12 points.  No surprise there. Malta doing very

1084
02:54:03,000 --> 02:54:13,989
well.  Good evening, San Marino.

1085
02:54:14,000 --> 02:54:18,989
We got eight point!  This is your favourite rapper from

1086
02:54:19,000 --> 02:54:21,989
San Marino, what's up?  The San Marino rap scene is pretty

1087
02:54:22,000 --> 02:54:29,989
big.  Can we receive the 12 points from

1088
02:54:30,000 --> 02:54:37,989
you? Our 12 points go to... Ukraine.  Ukraine, 12 points.

1089
02:54:38,000 --> 02:54:40,989
We are on the left-hand side of the  board, you might want to take a

1090
02:54:41,000 --> 02:54:45,989
picture.  We turn to the Czech Republic. Good

1091
02:54:46,000 --> 02:54:53,989
evening.  Four for us.

1092
02:54:54,000 --> 02:54:58,989
It is an honour to be proud of the  Eurovision family again, I wish you

1093
02:54:59,000 --> 02:55:05,989
all good luck. Thank you so much,  may we have your 12 point? The 12

1094
02:55:06,000 --> 02:55:19,989
points from Czech Republic go to...  Sweden. Sweden, 12 points.

1095
02:55:20,000 --> 02:55:24,989
A huge reaction here. Even though we  are getting all the votes, it is

1096
02:55:25,000 --> 02:55:31,989
only half the votes. The popular  vote is awarded quite quickly.

1097
02:55:32,000 --> 02:55:38,989
Sinead Kennedy. Excellent, seven  points for the UK, thank you.

1098
02:55:39,000 --> 02:55:43,989
This is Ireland calling, a big hello  to everybody in Sweden. Hello, we

1099
02:55:44,000 --> 02:55:53,989
are so happy to have you with us and  excited to receive the 12 points.

02:55:54,000 --> 02:55:58,989
Our 12 points go to... Belgium.  Belgium, 12 points.

1101
02:55:59,000 --> 02:56:06,989
Young Laura, performing first, can  often get forgotten.

1102
02:56:07,000 --> 02:56:09,989
Thank you, Sinead. Now, good evening  to Georgia. I hope you are there,

1103
02:56:10,000 --> 02:56:16,989
Nina.  Goodness.

1104
02:56:17,000 --> 02:56:19,989
That is quite the luck. Hello,  Europe and Stockholm, I am calling

1105
02:56:20,000 --> 02:56:26,989
from the heart of Georgia. Justin  Timberlake had better watch out, our

1106
02:56:27,000 --> 02:56:35,989
artists were amazing tonight.  That sounds a bit threatening. May

1107
02:56:36,000 --> 02:56:38,989
we receive your 12 point? Thank you.  Our fabulous 12 points goes to

1108
02:56:39,000 --> 02:56:56,989
Ukraine. Ukraine, 12 points.  Good evening, Bosnia and

1109
02:56:57,000 --> 02:57:03,989
Herzegovina.  Nothing so far. Hallo, Stockholm,

1110
02:57:04,000 --> 02:57:06,989
Sarajevo calling. I am so excited to  find out who will win tonight, so

1111
02:57:07,000 --> 02:57:10,989
let's get right to wed.  She is busy, interrupted her dinner

1112
02:57:11,000 --> 02:57:17,989
for this.  Our 12 points goes to Ukraine.

1113
02:57:18,000 --> 02:57:23,989
Ukraine, 12 points.  Thank you. Interesting that people

1114
02:57:24,000 --> 02:57:29,989
have responded to that song, very  emotional.

1115
02:57:30,000 --> 02:57:35,989
Good evening.  This is then in Valletta.

1116
02:57:36,000 --> 02:57:39,989
Good evening, this is the calling.  Please allow me to congratulate both

1117
02:57:40,000 --> 02:57:44,989
of you for amazing job you are  doing. As most of you know, this

1118
02:57:45,000 --> 02:57:50,989
year we are excited, honoured, to be  hosting the junior Eurovision Song

1119
02:57:51,000 --> 02:57:54,989
Contest. We can only hope to try our  best to put together this particular

1120
02:57:55,000 --> 02:57:58,989
performance, just as Stockholm has  done tonight. A massive well done,

1121
02:57:59,000 --> 02:58:05,989
and a big thank you from Malta.  Thank you, your show will be

1122
02:58:06,000 --> 02:58:12,989
amazing. We are very excited now,  who do you want to give the 12

1123
02:58:13,000 --> 02:58:21,989
points to? Malta's 12 points go  to... United Kingdom.

1124
02:58:22,000 --> 02:58:25,989
While! The first time we have had 12  points in about seven years, I

1125
02:58:26,000 --> 02:58:34,989
think. A huge congratulations to Joe  and Jake, that is fantastic, I am so

1126
02:58:35,000 --> 02:58:41,989
happy for them. That is terrific.  Madrid calling. Good evening, Petra,

1127
02:58:42,000 --> 02:58:50,989
and everyone, what a wonderful show  tonight.

1128
02:58:51,000 --> 02:58:56,989
And odd shaped fountain. Of course,  so, giving her extraordinary voice

1129
02:58:57,000 --> 02:59:05,989
and a beautiful song, our 12 points  from Spain go to Armenia.

1130
02:59:06,000 --> 02:59:15,989
Armenia, 12 points.  Performing last but not forgotten.

1131
02:59:16,000 --> 02:59:20,989
Thank you, good evening, Finland.  Goodness! He has made an effort.

1132
02:59:21,000 --> 02:59:26,989
This is your neighbours in Finland.  What an amazing night. I am here in

1133
02:59:27,000 --> 02:59:30,989
Helsinki but I can hear the party  and feel the vibe.

1134
02:59:31,000 --> 02:59:37,989
You can feel the vibe all right.  Thank you so much.

1135
02:59:38,000 --> 02:59:48,989
What a party, oh, yeah.  The 12 points go to... Sweden.

1136
02:59:49,000 --> 02:59:55,989
No surprise there. Australia still  in the lead. If they win, they

1137
02:59:56,000 --> 03:00:00,989
partner with an EBU country, so the  competition will still be held in

1138
03:00:01,000 --> 03:00:06,989
Europe.  Good evening, Stockholm. It is so

1139
03:00:07,000 --> 03:00:11,989
good for me to be ' Eurovision. It  is so nice to see you.

1140
03:00:12,000 --> 03:00:30,989
Our 12 points go to Australia.  Now we turn to our neighbour,

1141
03:00:31,000 --> 03:00:35,989
Denmark. Greetings from your  neighbours in Denmark. I've been to

1142
03:00:36,000 --> 03:00:42,989
Copenhagen, it looks better than  that. Three for us, thank you very

1143
03:00:43,000 --> 03:00:50,989
much. You really made people from  around the world come together. Only

1144
03:00:51,000 --> 03:00:58,989
four to Sweden. Who's getting that  12? Denmark sends St points to...

1145
03:00:59,000 --> 03:01:06,989
Ewe -- sends 12 points to Ukraine.  Very interesting. Of course, this as

1146
03:01:07,000 --> 03:01:14,989
I keep saying, is only Hoover the  vote. The -- half the vote. The tele

1147
03:01:15,000 --> 03:01:24,989
vote is to come. Is this Paris, it's  hard to tell (! ) It could be

1148
03:01:25,000 --> 03:01:37,989
anywhere really. Oh, it is Paris.  Tonight we are Swedish, French,

1149
03:01:38,000 --> 03:01:48,989
European, merci. May we have your 12  points.

1150
03:01:49,000 --> 03:01:59,989
Yes, sure. 12 from France go to...  Italy!

1151
03:02:00,000 --> 03:02:07,989
These votes are being very evenly  spread.

1152
03:02:08,000 --> 03:02:15,989
Good evening Europe. Good evening  Stockholm. Is she an uberdriver in

1153
03:02:16,000 --> 03:02:23,989
Moldova? This was the best one,  congratulations. Thank you so much.

1154
03:02:24,000 --> 03:02:26,989
May we now have your 12 points? Our  12 points from Moldova go to...

1155
03:02:27,000 --> 03:02:43,989
Ukraine.  Good evening Armenia. Well, that's a

1156
03:02:44,000 --> 03:02:52,989
fountain-and-a-half! Hello Europe.  Oh, no. ... For peace and love waves

1157
03:02:53,000 --> 03:03:04,989
to their beautiful songs all over  the world. That was the name of

1158
03:03:05,000 --> 03:03:10,989
Armenia's entry.  12 points go to, we give our 12

1159
03:03:11,000 --> 03:03:14,989
points to France.  This is really all over the place.

1160
03:03:15,000 --> 03:03:25,989
It will be interesting to see if the  popular vote is as spread and

1161
03:03:26,000 --> 03:03:35,989
diverse. Another bow tie. Very on  trend this year. Unusual beach wear.

1162
03:03:36,000 --> 03:03:41,989
May we have your 12 points. There's  no Greece for them to give points to

1163
03:03:42,000 --> 03:03:45,989
this year.  This is how the Cypriot jury have

1164
03:03:46,000 --> 03:04:01,989
voted. The 12 points go to...  Russia. He was the bookies'

1165
03:04:02,000 --> 03:04:06,989
favourite, Sergey Lazarev. Hope she  doesn't fall. Good evening Europe.

1166
03:04:07,000 --> 03:04:10,989
Greetings from me and beautiful  Sophia. May I just say that stage

1167
03:04:11,000 --> 03:04:18,989
you have, it's so impressive. Really  stunning. Thank you. Praise indeed!

1168
03:04:19,000 --> 03:04:34,989
May we have your 12 points. Yeah, I  think it's time for this. So, our 12

1169
03:04:35,000 --> 03:04:42,989
points go to... Armenia. Iveta with  her love wave.

1170
03:04:43,000 --> 03:04:47,989
Good evening the Netherlands. Well!  Hi everybody. It's great to see all

1171
03:04:48,000 --> 03:04:53,989
those gifted people on one big  stage. Yeah, it's only me, but I

1172
03:04:54,000 --> 03:05:03,989
agree. Could we please receive the  12 points.

1173
03:05:04,000 --> 03:05:11,989
Our 12 points go to... Australia!  Doing really well.

1174
03:05:12,000 --> 03:05:18,989
Just their second year in the  competition.

1175
03:05:19,000 --> 03:05:21,989
Hi Tom. Good evening Europe, good  evening Sweden, good evening Petra.

1176
03:05:22,000 --> 03:05:26,989
Finally, we're together on the same  show. Can't you feel my heart beat?

1177
03:05:27,000 --> 03:05:30,989
I would love to hear it, if we were  a little bit closer. But could I

1178
03:05:31,000 --> 03:05:38,989
receive the 12 points. Just five for  Australia. Will Russia get it? No,

1179
03:05:39,000 --> 03:05:45,989
they've got seven. I'm sorry,  Sweden, but our 12 points go to...

1180
03:05:46,000 --> 03:05:49,989
Ukraine.  Jamala is doing so well. Good

1181
03:05:50,000 --> 03:06:04,989
evening Israel.  Good evening Israel. Yes, before we

1182
03:06:05,000 --> 03:06:09,989
go to Israel, we can just see that  we are already halfway through all

1183
03:06:10,000 --> 03:06:14,989
the jury votes. Anything can still  happen. Don't go anywhere. In a few

1184
03:06:15,000 --> 03:06:21,989
minutes, we'll be continuing with  the voting. We might go to the Green

1185
03:06:22,000 --> 03:06:27,989
Room now and have a recap of the top  three.

1186
03:06:28,000 --> 03:06:30,989
This is incredibly exciting. I'm in  the Green Room and let's look at the

1187
03:06:31,000 --> 03:06:57,989
scoreboard now:  I'm here with Donny. What's your

1188
03:06:58,000 --> 03:07:01,989
heart rate right now? Nonstop going,  going, going. What would it mean to

1189
03:07:02,000 --> 03:07:09,989
you to win the Eurovision Song  Contest? I would just have to thank

1190
03:07:10,000 --> 03:07:12,989
Europe for inviting Europe to be  part of such a fun event. The best

1191
03:07:13,000 --> 03:07:18,989
experience of my life. Fantastic.  Best of luck to you. Let's turn to

1192
03:07:19,000 --> 03:07:26,989
in second place, Ukraine.  Hello.

1193
03:07:27,000 --> 03:07:30,989
# You are the hero of my life...  Don't spoil it. Thank you very much.

1194
03:07:31,000 --> 03:07:37,989
I have to ask you, the same  question, how do you feel right now?

1195
03:07:38,000 --> 03:07:43,989
Oh, nervous. How has your week in  Stockholm been? It's quite good,

1196
03:07:44,000 --> 03:07:47,989
yeah. I love it. Go with very good.  The weather was so great. And

1197
03:07:48,000 --> 03:07:55,989
exactly the same question for you,  what would it mean for you to win

1198
03:07:56,000 --> 03:08:02,989
the Eurovision Song Contest? Oh, you  know, it's my personal story in this

1199
03:08:03,000 --> 03:08:05,989
song, that's why it means, for me,  that Europe understand me quite

1200
03:08:06,000 --> 03:08:12,989
well. Fantastic. Best of luck to  you.

1201
03:08:13,000 --> 03:08:19,989
All right, half of the juries left.  Back to you Petra. I believe we're

1202
03:08:20,000 --> 03:08:27,989
going off to Jerusalem now. Has he  got a bow tie on? Let's continue

1203
03:08:28,000 --> 03:08:31,989
getting the points from the national  juries in every country. Then we

1204
03:08:32,000 --> 03:08:37,989
will get the points from the  televote. You at home will have the

1205
03:08:38,000 --> 03:08:40,989
final word and then we have a new  winner. Let's turn to Israel. Good

1206
03:08:41,000 --> 03:08:43,989
evening.  He does! A good new drinking game,

1207
03:08:44,000 --> 03:09:01,989
bow tie alert. Good evening Europe.  HE SPEAKS

1208
03:09:02,000 --> 03:09:10,989
SWEDISH These are the results of the  Israeli vote. Let's hear it.

1209
03:09:11,000 --> 03:09:22,989
The 12 points from Israel is awarded  to... The Ukraine.

1210
03:09:23,000 --> 03:09:34,989
Will we be heading to Kiev next  year? Good evening Europe. I'm so

1211
03:09:35,000 --> 03:09:45,989
proud to be a part of this. It is  love in the air tonight. This is the

1212
03:09:46,000 --> 03:09:52,989
result from the Belarussian jury.  That light show's amazing. And your

1213
03:09:53,000 --> 03:10:04,989
12 points? 12 points go to...  Russia. Russia not doing as well

1214
03:10:05,000 --> 03:10:08,989
with the juries as expected. But the  popular vote could change all of

1215
03:10:09,000 --> 03:10:13,989
that.  Here's Barbara. Good evening

1216
03:10:14,000 --> 03:10:25,989
Stockholm, this is Hamburg calling.  We are partiying here with thousands

1217
03:10:26,000 --> 03:10:29,989
of fans. It's pretty rainy, but  we're having lots of fun. May we

1218
03:10:30,000 --> 03:10:38,989
have your 12 points. Six for  Australia. Yes, our 12 points go

1219
03:10:39,000 --> 03:10:44,989
to... Israel.  Actually Israel are doing OK.

1220
03:10:45,000 --> 03:10:53,989
Ticking along. Now we turn to  Russia. Six for the United Kingdom,

1221
03:10:54,000 --> 03:10:57,989
thank you Russia. We had an amazing  night here in Moscow, but I wish I

1222
03:10:58,000 --> 03:11:05,989
could be there in the arena with  you. To be more closer to Mans! Oh!

1223
03:11:06,000 --> 03:11:09,989
It's not a dating show. May we  please have the 12 points from you.

1224
03:11:10,000 --> 03:11:21,989
Just two for Australia. The 12  points go to... Armenia.

1225
03:11:22,000 --> 03:11:36,989
Iveta getting the 12 points there.  Good evening Norway. Oh, look! One

1226
03:11:37,000 --> 03:11:41,989
of the bobbysox who won in 1985.  Hello Europe, China, United States

1227
03:11:42,000 --> 03:11:46,989
and Australia! I'm guessing Sweden  are getting these votes. It has been

1228
03:11:47,000 --> 03:11:51,989
a joyride to witness your fantastic  show. We're all very, very excited

1229
03:11:52,000 --> 03:11:57,989
about the final count down of the  European votes. We couldn't be more

1230
03:11:58,000 --> 03:12:07,989
excited. So nice to see you again  may we have your 12 points? Yeah.

1231
03:12:08,000 --> 03:12:15,989
The 12 points from Norway goes to...  Italy. Oh, wow! I think that's

1232
03:12:16,000 --> 03:12:18,989
unprecedented, not a single vote  from a Norwegian jury for Sweden.

1233
03:12:19,000 --> 03:12:22,989
That is a real turn up for the  books. The audience here are not

1234
03:12:23,000 --> 03:12:31,989
pleased.  Australia. Four for the United

1235
03:12:32,000 --> 03:12:36,989
Kingdom. Thank you Australia. This  is a news presenter. Good day from

1236
03:12:37,000 --> 03:12:41,989
sunny Sydney. It's wonderful to be  participating again. Australia is up

1237
03:12:42,000 --> 03:12:46,989
early this morning and I mean the  whole of Australia and the jury has

1238
03:12:47,000 --> 03:12:52,989
voted. I think her head phones got a  bit tangled there.

1239
03:12:53,000 --> 03:13:04,989
May we hear the 12 points? Our 12  points go to... Belgium.

1240
03:13:05,000 --> 03:13:10,989
Young Laura from Belgium. She  performed first tonight. That's her

1241
03:13:11,000 --> 03:13:13,989
second 12 of the night. It's another  dickie bow.

1242
03:13:14,000 --> 03:13:21,989
Hello Stockholm. Good evening to the  millions of viewers out there. It's

1243
03:13:22,000 --> 03:13:24,989
so great to see Europe united in a  fabulous show like this. It's an

1244
03:13:25,000 --> 03:13:30,989
honour to be part of it, in the name  of all the Belgians. Thank you. May

1245
03:13:31,000 --> 03:13:35,989
we have your 12 points? But of  course. Our 12 points go to...

1246
03:13:36,000 --> 03:13:43,989
Australia.  Another 12 for Australia. We won't

1247
03:13:44,000 --> 03:13:46,989
get any points from the next people,  because it's Richard Osman in the

1248
03:13:47,000 --> 03:13:53,989
United Kingdom. Lots of points  tonight. This is London calling.

1249
03:13:54,000 --> 03:13:57,989
Good evening Stockholm. Good  afternoon USA, and good morning to

1250
03:13:58,000 --> 03:14:04,989
China, enjoying Eurovision live for  the very first time. Well said, may

1251
03:14:05,000 --> 03:14:11,989
we have your 12 points Richard. You  can indeed. The 12 points from the

1252
03:14:12,000 --> 03:14:15,989
UK jury go to... Georgia.  Well, there's a turn up for the

1253
03:14:16,000 --> 03:14:32,989
books.  Who was on the jury again? Georgia

1254
03:14:33,000 --> 03:14:33,989
are thrilled.  Zagreb looks lovely.

1255
03:14:34,000 --> 03:14:42,989
We won't be the first to tell you  this, but you and Mans did the great

1256
03:14:43,000 --> 03:14:48,989
job. Is she floating? Thank you. May  we have your 12 points. Of course.

1257
03:14:49,000 --> 03:15:01,989
12 points from Croatia national jury  go to... Australia. Getting quite

1258
03:15:02,000 --> 03:15:03,989
the lead now. As I say, this is only  half the vote. It's a good

1259
03:15:04,000 --> 03:15:15,989
indication.  Hello, Europe, this is Athens

1260
03:15:16,000 --> 03:15:28,989
calling. I have learned three  important Swedish words, one,

1261
03:15:29,000 --> 03:15:37,989
Roxette, three, Carola, and three,  Abba, so thank you for the music.

1262
03:15:38,000 --> 03:15:41,989
The 12 point go to somebody who  thought it might be the Greek entry,

1263
03:15:42,000 --> 03:15:50,989
the Greeks have contributed the most  for the success of the song, it is

1264
03:15:51,000 --> 03:16:01,989
Russia. Russia, 12 points. Good  evening, Lithuania. Hello, good

1265
03:16:02,000 --> 03:16:06,989
evening, Europe, this is Phil Meares  calling. We have been waiting for

1266
03:16:07,000 --> 03:16:10,989
this night, it was so worth it, we  had a great time. Are you ready for

1267
03:16:11,000 --> 03:16:15,989
the Lithuanian top score?  We are! We have not been more ready,

1268
03:16:16,000 --> 03:16:20,989
let me tell you!  Another lovely fountain.

1269
03:16:21,000 --> 03:16:26,989
Our 12 points go to Australia,  congratulations. Australia, 12

1270
03:16:27,000 --> 03:16:31,989
points.  They have introduced the new system

1271
03:16:32,000 --> 03:16:37,989
in order to not know who has one.  But I wonder if we will know. Some

1272
03:16:38,000 --> 03:16:42,989
points for the UK, thank you,  Serbia.

1273
03:16:43,000 --> 03:16:47,989
May we have your 12 point?  Is that a fountain or is there a

1274
03:16:48,000 --> 03:16:50,989
hydrant that has exploded behind  her?

1275
03:16:51,000 --> 03:16:59,989
Our 12 points go to Ukraine.  Ukraine, 12 points.

1276
03:17:00,000 --> 03:17:05,989
Australia really building up a  strong...

1277
03:17:06,000 --> 03:17:11,989
Good evening, Macedonia. Mamma Mia,  you did it again, greetings,

1278
03:17:12,000 --> 03:17:17,989
Stockholm, how can we resist you?  Thank you, how power wet it! It

1279
03:17:18,000 --> 03:17:26,989
sounds like a song I have heard!  Just 74 Serbia, eight for Australia.

1280
03:17:27,000 --> 03:17:38,989
12 points goes to Ukraine. Ukraine,  12 points.

1281
03:17:39,000 --> 03:17:43,989
Off to Albania now.  Is that his house? Five for the UK,

1282
03:17:44,000 --> 03:17:49,989
thank you.  Hello, Sweden, a special greeting to

1283
03:17:50,000 --> 03:17:53,989
all Eurovision fans, and to those  who love Albanian music.

1284
03:17:54,000 --> 03:17:59,989
Who doesn't?  We love all music here. We would be

1285
03:18:00,000 --> 03:18:06,989
delighted to receive 12.4 Albania.  It is a short walk home afterwards.

1286
03:18:07,000 --> 03:18:17,989
12 point go to Australia Art.  Australia, 12 point four is -- 12.4.

1287
03:18:18,000 --> 03:18:22,989
Whoever wins the night will break  the record for the most votes ever.

1288
03:18:23,000 --> 03:18:27,989
Good evening.  Three more points.

1289
03:18:28,000 --> 03:18:33,989
Good evening, Europe and use it  lovers from all over the world. We

1290
03:18:34,000 --> 03:18:36,989
have 12 points to give to you. I  definitely hope so, that was the

1291
03:18:37,000 --> 03:18:43,989
agreement from the start. Can we  receive them?

1292
03:18:44,000 --> 03:18:45,989
Will Russia get them?  Yes, 12 point from Australia goes to

1293
03:18:46,000 --> 03:18:51,989
Sweden.  Sweden! It is interesting, breaking

1294
03:18:52,000 --> 03:18:54,989
up the popular vote and the jury,  because the voting is not nearly as

1295
03:18:55,000 --> 03:19:09,989
political as everybody assumes.  It is Verka, and I think that is her

1296
03:19:10,000 --> 03:19:21,989
mother, in Kiev.  My name is Verka Serduchka. Do you

1297
03:19:22,000 --> 03:19:27,989
have fun? Whenever I see you, I am  the happiest person in the world,

1298
03:19:28,000 --> 03:19:32,989
especially in a taxi. May we receive  your 12 point?

1299
03:19:33,000 --> 03:19:37,989
Will this be Russia?  12 point go to... Lithuania.

1300
03:19:38,000 --> 03:19:54,989
Lithuania.  It is nice that more people are

1301
03:19:55,000 --> 03:19:57,989
getting 12 is, so more couches are  jumping around, including Joe and

1302
03:19:58,000 --> 03:20:02,989
Jake.  Love from the great beauty, Rhone.

1303
03:20:03,000 --> 03:20:08,989
It was 25 years ago since the last  time you were here.

1304
03:20:09,000 --> 03:20:14,989
Those people are enormous in Rome.  We hope to make it this summer, but

1305
03:20:15,000 --> 03:20:23,989
now we want to receive 12 points.  Our 12 points go to... Spain.

1306
03:20:24,000 --> 03:20:42,989
That is very nice.  Barei. Good evening, I have to say

1307
03:20:43,000 --> 03:20:46,989
that you made us laugh so much  tonight, thank you.

1308
03:20:47,000 --> 03:20:54,989
Just ten for Australia.  Thank you so much. We are excited to

1309
03:20:55,000 --> 03:21:03,989
receive 12 points from you. 12  points from Poland go to... Ukraine.

1310
03:21:04,000 --> 03:21:08,989
Ukraine, 12 point four. -- 12  points.

1311
03:21:09,000 --> 03:21:13,989
87 more points in it, but so many  more points to be awarded.

1312
03:21:14,000 --> 03:21:18,989
Good evening, Slovenia.  I think she was in it last year, she

1313
03:21:19,000 --> 03:21:25,989
had headphones then.  Here for you the votes of the

1314
03:21:26,000 --> 03:21:39,989
Slovenian jury. Exciting, and the 12  point? Our 12 point go to...

1315
03:21:40,000 --> 03:21:46,989
Ukraine. Ukraine, 12 points.  Taking them over 200. It is

1316
03:21:47,000 --> 03:21:52,989
Australia and Ukraine over 200  points. They might get a cash prize,

1317
03:21:53,000 --> 03:21:56,989
I'm not sure.  Hello, Europe, thank you for this

1318
03:21:57,000 --> 03:22:05,989
beautiful evening, we have really  enjoyed it, fantastic. In all of

1319
03:22:06,000 --> 03:22:10,989
Budapest, I wonder where she is.  Hungary gives 12 points to...

1320
03:22:11,000 --> 03:22:17,989
Australia.  Back in the 12 is. Just two more to

1321
03:22:18,000 --> 03:22:20,989
vote. And then we will get onto the  popular vote. Very quickly, we will

1322
03:22:21,000 --> 03:22:48,989
know the winner.  So we say in Montenegro, the real

1323
03:22:49,000 --> 03:22:52,989
thing. 12 point? Where do they go?  Just four to Australia.

1324
03:22:53,000 --> 03:23:01,989
12 points from Montenegro go to...  Malta. Malta, 12 points.

1325
03:23:02,000 --> 03:23:12,989
Again, no history of them giving  votes to them.

1326
03:23:13,000 --> 03:23:18,989
And now, I say good evening...  She is popular here, she presents

1327
03:23:19,000 --> 03:23:28,989
the national selection.  Hello, Petra, and hello, Europe!

1328
03:23:29,000 --> 03:23:34,989
They are crazy out here. As you can  see, all of these crazy Eurovision

1329
03:23:35,000 --> 03:23:45,989
fans will not fit into one arena, so  we have two. If there is room in the

1330
03:23:46,000 --> 03:23:50,989
heart, there is room in the butt. We  want to receive the 12 points. You

1331
03:23:51,000 --> 03:23:55,989
have done such a good job. The  Swedish 12 points go to...

1332
03:23:56,000 --> 03:24:05,989
Australia!  There we go. Over 100 points in it

1333
03:24:06,000 --> 03:24:06,989
at the moment, but that might all  change as we get to the popular

1334
03:24:07,000 --> 03:24:18,989
vote.  Thank you to the Swedish jury and to

1335
03:24:19,000 --> 03:24:22,989
Gina Dirawi. Back to you in the  green room.

1336
03:24:23,000 --> 03:24:41,989
We now know 50% of the final vote,  let's take a look at the top five.

1337
03:24:42,000 --> 03:24:48,989
Surprising that Sweden is not top  five.

1338
03:24:49,000 --> 03:24:52,989
We know you are the favourite,  according to the jury,

1339
03:24:53,000 --> 03:24:59,989
congratulations. What did you do  five minutes before you went on

1340
03:25:00,000 --> 03:25:06,989
stage? I drank water. You do not  have a ritual? Or my rehearsals I

1341
03:25:07,000 --> 03:25:12,989
have done the same thing, carrying  my big dress, I land and I have a

1342
03:25:13,000 --> 03:25:19,989
drink of water and go on, exactly  the same each time. What will you do

1343
03:25:20,000 --> 03:25:25,989
after the show if you win? Go and  have a lemonade with Micro. A

1344
03:25:26,000 --> 03:25:30,989
lemonade with your crew.  If they win, it will not be in

1345
03:25:31,000 --> 03:25:34,989
Australia, they will partner with an  EBU member and it will be held in

1346
03:25:35,000 --> 03:25:40,989
Europe.  It is only the jury vote, we don't

1347
03:25:41,000 --> 03:25:43,989
know what will happen, it is still  very exciting for us Australians,

1348
03:25:44,000 --> 03:25:49,989
said thank you for the nice votes  will stop whatever happens, they are

1349
03:25:50,000 --> 03:25:53,989
going to do very well indeed.  It is an impressive lead, with half

1350
03:25:54,000 --> 03:25:57,989
the votes to come.  We are getting ready to present the

1351
03:25:58,000 --> 03:26:08,989
telephone votes. This is where it  gets very exciting.

1352
03:26:09,000 --> 03:26:14,989
Thank you. The jury has voted, but  everything can now change, as you at

1353
03:26:15,000 --> 03:26:22,989
home have the final word. We are  about to present your votes. But

1354
03:26:23,000 --> 03:26:32,989
first, have the voting on according  to plan? Yes. We have a result that

1355
03:26:33,000 --> 03:26:34,989
is correct.  He is always surprised when the

1356
03:26:35,000 --> 03:26:40,989
camera goes to him, it happens every  year.

1357
03:26:41,000 --> 03:26:43,989
We will see how the new points  system plays out, we present the

1358
03:26:44,000 --> 03:26:48,989
points in a different way. Please do  it now so we can find winner for the

1359
03:26:49,000 --> 03:26:53,989
Eurovision Song Contest 2016, take  it away.

1360
03:26:54,000 --> 03:26:59,989
Thank you so much! This process is  quite quick.

1361
03:27:00,000 --> 03:27:03,989
Those of the votes from you watching  at home. You have the same amount of

1362
03:27:04,000 --> 03:27:08,989
points to give out as the jury. Your  points from each country have been

1363
03:27:09,000 --> 03:27:14,989
added together and will present them  from the lowest to the highest.

1364
03:27:15,000 --> 03:27:15,989
Let's take a look at the scoreboard  with all of the points from the

1365
03:27:16,000 --> 03:27:31,989
jury.  It is the best result for the UK for

1366
03:27:32,000 --> 03:27:38,989
a long time.  Oddly ready? I think I am. It is now

1367
03:27:39,000 --> 03:27:47,989
time to present the winner of the  Eurovision Song Contest 2016. We

1368
03:27:48,000 --> 03:27:56,989
will start by showing duty 16  countries that got the lowest scores

1369
03:27:57,000 --> 03:28:00,989
from the viewers. Here they are.  Zero points to Czech Republic.

1370
03:28:01,000 --> 03:29:27,989
This is harsh. Oh, no. Gutting.  We can see Belgium is in the top

1371
03:29:28,000 --> 03:29:35,989
three.  Still Australia in the lead, though.

1372
03:29:36,000 --> 03:29:40,989
This is really nerve-racking. Ten  songs are waiting for their points.

1373
03:29:41,000 --> 03:29:44,989
These are the ten favourites,  according to the televote. One of

1374
03:29:45,000 --> 03:29:50,989
these ten songs will be the winner  tonight. I'm afraid we've done the

1375
03:29:51,000 --> 03:29:52,989
math and I think this is going to be  a bad night for us. We might come

1376
03:29:53,000 --> 03:30:12,989
24th.  The country with the tenth highest

1377
03:30:13,000 --> 03:30:16,000
score, with 96 points is...  Lithuania.
