Simon Hafner sings “There Was A Yesterday” – He went all ‘Les Miserables’ on us and his voice went into hiding like Jean Valjean for 2 lines of the song #oops

Alenko and the song “Vu d’en haut” – Nicki French and ‘Don’t Play That Song Again’ for the UK in 2000 did these hand movements and better #JustSaying but my aeroplane landed safely thanks to Alenko and team!

Licia Cherry and the song “Fly” – Can we just stop the show now as we have found the winner #LoveHer and the audience were crying out “encore”. Watch this one “fly” into the Final or expect me never to eat Swiss chocolate EVER again!

Melanie Rene – “My Time To Shine”. Game on as this is another good song. We all love a good set of Pan Pipes at Eurovision.

Melanie Rene – My Time to Shine

Shana Pearson and “Kevlar Heart” – Well this picture says it all. She killed the dancer through the medium of song!

Vad Vuc and their song “Cocktail e fantasmi” – This is more Irish than the Irish! I think the Swiss will like this song a lot and with good reason.

Vad Vuc

Elias feat. Zero and the song “Your Perfume” – Is this more Tom Ford or Old Spice? You decide. Either way loving the Beehives ladies!

Deborah Bough singing “Take me back to 23” – Va Va Voom. Game on! Deborah brings some Swiss Funk into the house and the audience loved it too. Let me get my groove on!

Arbresha singing “Same Stars” – Two words for this “Sultry & Moody” which is what I think I am after a few “Valletta Libre Cocktails”

Dahi and her song “Destiny” – Sometimes “Less is More” #JustSaying

Timebelle and their song “Singing about Love” –  catchy little song from a Romanian band. It has those Eurovision classics – The Saxophone and The Accordion. From a style perspective they need to be careful as Barbara Dex wants her fashion award BACK!

Andy McSean and the song “Hey Now” – Sebalter has a lot to answer for as there are 3 other bands trying to rock their versions of “Hunter of Stars” though this is more rock. A competent performance but nobody likes to called competent at Eurovision! However we like the guitarist.

Tiziani sings “Only Human” – The Swiss are saving the big guns till last. Tiziani is 17 and won The Voice of Switzerland 2014. Cute song from the ‘Girl Next Door’ that teenagers across Europe will identify with. Watch out for this one! You have been warned! This could be Switzerland having their Chiara moment at Eurovision. Give us the wink!

Dr Thierry Condor and the song “Open Heart Surgery” – Well TLC sang “No Scrubs” and Dr Thierry and band should have listened to the song. This is Eurovision and nobody should turn up in operating scrubs! I will need “Open Heart Surgery” if they wear this in the final. This is a cute song and just what the Doctor ordered but “No Scrubs”.
