26. 🇦🇱 ALBANIA: SHKODRA ELEKTRONIKE - ZJERM

Last but by no means least! The crowd are eager for this, cheering before the first note. Beatrice and Kole's vocals bring the light and shadow this song really needs with the latter getting a huge cheer before his part!

#Eurovision

25. 🇸🇲 SAN MARINO: GABRY PONTE - TUTTA L'ITALIA

Between the highly emotive France and with Albania up next, Gabry is setting us up for the after-party. He does a great job of hyping up the crowd and even his singers seem to be having fun behind the masks!

#Eurovision
May 16, 2025 at 9:24 PM
There's an additional few big notes near the end, possibly for the juries' benefit. She says 'Thank you, Europe, I hope you're proud of me' and we really are!

24. 🇫🇷 FRANCE: LOUANE - MAMAN

What makes Louane's performance so special is not just an impeccable vocal: it's the way every movement, facial expression and intonation MEANS something. Even if you don't speak French, you feel her emotion.

#Eurovision
May 16, 2025 at 9:19 PM
23. 🇸🇪 SWEDEN: KAJ - BARA BADA BASTU

Still the bookies' favourite, KAJ have got a lot to prove tonight but despite being in a sauna they aren't breaking a sweat! This is slick, polished fun. It impressed jurors at Melfest...can it do it again at #Eurovision?

#esc2025
May 16, 2025 at 9:11 PM
22. 🇩🇰 DENMARK: SISSAL - HALLUCINATION

Sissal was on vocal rest this afternoon: a wise move as during the chorus and big end notes she sounds great and jumps for joy when she's finished. Welcome back, Denmark - we missed you!

#Eurovision

21. 🇵🇹 PORTUGAL: NAPA - DESLOCADO

A shock qualifier to many, Napa are here to prove why we were wrong to ever doubt them! As well as their gentle, yearning track, vocalist João calls out to the crowd near the start: they seem so happy to be here.

#Eurovision

20. 🇲🇹 MALTA: MIRIANA CONTE - KANT

Gosh it's great to see Malta back in a final! Miriana is soaking up every moment and her voice sounds fantastic. The crowd is going wild (although no we still don't hear *it*) - this is what #Eurovision is all about!
May 16, 2025 at 8:56 PM
19. 🇨🇭 SWITZERLAND: ZOË MË - VOYAGE

There were technical difficulties in Tuesday's semi performance and we're relieved to say there were none tonight! Zoë's voice is gentle yet powerful and this is a serene, beautiful moment in the show.

#Eurovision
May 16, 2025 at 8:52 PM
18. 🇦🇲 ARMENIA: PARG - SURVIVOR

Parg continues to rely on pre-recorded backing vocals as he runs on the treadmill. Could this work against him with juries? Either way, this is visually impressive and he nails the big note before the final chorus!

#Eurovision

17. 🇬🇷 GREECE: KLAVDIA - ASTEROMATA

If jurors do award strong vocals tonight it's hard to see where they'll find fault with Klavdia, who has never faltered since she won her national final. Klavdia continues to sound just as flawless tonight.

#Eurovision
May 16, 2025 at 8:44 PM
16. 🇩🇪 GERMANY: ABOR & TYNNA - BALLER

While there are stronger vocalists tonight, Tynna sounds the best she has so far. Impressive considering the health issues that plagued her during pre-party season. And of course this performance has memorability in spades!

#Eurovision
May 16, 2025 at 8:35 PM
15. 🇵🇱 POLAND: JUSTYNA STECZKOWSKA - GAJA

The opening quieter parts of the song sound the best they have so far and those big notes (which are NOT EASY) continue to deliver. Her descent into a run doesn't compromise her ability to do the choreography.

#Eurovision
May 16, 2025 at 8:30 PM
14. 🇮🇹 ITALY - LUCIO CORSI - VOLEVO ESSERE UN DURO

This is a total change of pace after Finland which could work in its favour. Lucio sounds great. There's every chance juries will appreciate his musicianship, especially as the only act to play a live instrument!

#Eurovision
May 16, 2025 at 8:25 PM
13. 🇫🇮 FINLAND: ERIKA VIKMAN - ICH KOMME

It's Erika's world and we're all just living in it! Her vocal is nailed through every inch of the stage she stomps. When we get to the giant mic, all goes off without a hitch! There are chants of ERIKA in the crowd

#Eurovision

12. 🇳🇱 THE NETHERLANDS: CLAUDE - C'EST LA VIE

The decision to pare back how much Claude dances was absolutely the right one, meaning he can maintain the vocal whilst still keeping the palpable sense of joy that runs through this performance.

#Eurovision
#esc2025
May 16, 2025 at 8:16 PM
11. 🇱🇻 LATVIA: TAUTUMEITAS - BUR MAN LAIMI

For this song to work, the harmonies have to be well and truly nailed...and of course they are. It's difficult to imagine juries not rewarding this, both for their vocals and for their originality.

#Eurovision

10. 🇮🇸 ICELAND: VAEB - RÓA

Although they much more favour a televote, the brothers are still pulling out all the stops they can tonight. Their high-energy brand of performance continues to amp up the crowd... could it bring a smile to the juries' faces too?

#Eurovision
May 16, 2025 at 8:06 PM
JJ has done everything possible to get every point he can tonight. It just remains to be seen how much the juries will reward him!
