2. Sergey Lazarev, RUSSIA: YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE

The Russian may be reckoning with his country’s politics getting in the way, but there’s no doubt this is one of the favourites here. The staging is sensational and he’s a real performer during his song, You Are the Only One.​ Experts are giving the contest to him, ahead of Dami and…

3. Amir, FRANCE – J’AI CHERCHE

The charismatic French singer had the stadium going wild in rehearsal yesterday with his song J’ai Cherche, and it was the first time anyone had seen him perform, France being one of the countries who automatically go through to the final. This is a strong contender with a very (very) catchy chorus you won’t stop singing!

The Spanish song is a real party song – Say Yay will have you bopping in your lounge room for sure. The talk here is that Spain can’t afford to hold the competition but this is surely a top tip. A crowd favourite… just like…

5. Poli Genova, BULGARIA: IF LOVE WAS A CRIME

Feel like a trip to Bulgaria next May? Could happen – this song is a HUGE favourite here and the crowd go wild every time they hear it (and see her glowing costume in all its glory). A rousing chorus and lots of amazing effects – start learning those Bulgarian phrases!

6. Donny Montell, LITHUANIA: I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS NIGHT

This cute song (and super cute singer!) is also well considered here, the crowd go wild for his moves and the song is really catchy. Lithuania won’t win it but watch it anyway!

7. Frans, SWEDEN – IF I WERE SORRY

The Swedes won last year with Mans Zermalow’s Heroes. This song is the exact opposite – a quiet little love song, but Frans is a sentimental favourite with the home crowd and you can’t help but love him. Words flash up behind him as he sings and everyone goes wild. Bless.

8. Laura Tesoro, BELGIUM – WHAT’S THE PRESSURE

This year’s funky number (last year’s was Guy Sebastian’s song!) – What’s the Pressure has its own dance that everyone seems to want to learn, and it’s SO catchy. Could actually win it – it gets everyone on their feet! She’s cute and the song’s fun! Just think about the chocolate you could buy…

SBS will run the live final on Sunday, May 15 at 5am AEST (don’t forget, this is when you can vote!) and repeat the show at 7.30pm.​
