After a fiery performance at Tuesday night???s semi-final in Lisbon, Cyprus will be heading to the Eurovision Grand Final on Saturday....

Read the article and chat about it below...

The only thing in the official video which remains me of Cyprus is the unfortunate setting fire to a car, which is the typical Cypriot way to sort out controversies....

Cyprus seem to be favourites to win with the "bookies".

Good Luck Cyprus & Eleni.

Gave up watching when 99% of the countrys , started singing in English, whats European about that, and someone should point out to the thickos,who run the show, that Australia is err not in Europe.

Why not invite China then, A billion more viewers, should bring in a few more Shekels.,
We used to enjoy watching it back in the day, when you listened to each country singing in their own language, French/Spanish/Italian etc etc, not now more of a circus, men with beards in frocks, twats dressed up as monsters etc, add the vote fix, Cyprus-Greece 12 points.....Scandinavian country's voting for each other , Turkey voting for its Turkic friends, no not for me, but as you say harmless fun.

Given that there aren't 100 countries entering that would be a statistical impossibility.

Why not have a World Song Competition, and have it every four years? There could be groups and leagues and stuff. And Panini could do sticker albums.

Actually, it would be interesting if GB had four countries in the Eurovision. Would we all vote for each other or would the other three adopt the traditional "anyone but England" stance?

Oh come on chaps, it's just a bit of harmless old nonsense. Kick back, put taste on hold, and enjoy.

The Cyprus entry seems to be favourite to win at the moment. Pretty girl with computer enhanced voice, which seems to be all the rage at the moment. If she wins then Eurovision comes to Cyprus next year. Now that would be fun.

God help us if Cyprus has to organise the contest next year, when it can't organise a p1ss-up in a brewery.

The order in Grand Final will be the following:


01 Ukraine - MELOVIN - Under The Ladder
02 Spain - Amaia y Alfred - Tu Canción
03 Slovenia - Lea Sirk - Hvala, ne!
04 Lithuania - Ieva Zasimauskaitė - When We're Old
05 Austria - Cesár Sampson - Nobody But You
06 Estonia - Elina Nechayeva - La Forza
07 Norway - Alexander Rybak - That's How You Write A Song
08 Portugal - Cláudia Pascoal - O Jardim
09 United Kingdom – SuRie - Storm
10 Serbia - Sanja Ilić & Balkanika - Nova Deca
11 Germany - Michael Schulte You - Let Me Walk Alone
12 Albania - Eugent Bushpepa - Mall
13 France - Madame Monsieur - Mercy
14 Czech Republic - Mikolas Josef - Lie To Me
15 Denmark – Rasmussen - Higher Ground
16 Australia - Jessica Mauboy - We Got Love
17 Finland - Saara Aalto - Monsters
