  • Semi Final 1 Semi Final 2 the Big Six the Stats
    Semi Final 1 Semi Final 2 The Big Six The Stats Hello, Rotterdam! After a year in storage, it’s time to dust off Europe’s most peculiar pop tradition and watch as singers from every corner of the continent come to do battle. As ever, we’ve compiled a full guide to the most bizarre, brilliant and boring things the contest has to offer... ////////////////////////////////// Semi Final 1.................3-21 Tuesday’s semi is the stronger of the two, with Cypriot- censured Satanism, bloopy Lithuanian club-pop and a wailing Ukrainian rave that will leave your head spinning. Expect upsets galore as the favourites all fight for a place. Semi Final 2................22-34 A slightly more standard affair, there’s less of the outright bonkers stuff on Thursday – but there’s still a couple of acts that you won’t want to miss, including Polish TV hosts, Danish 80s throwbacks and a possible cameo from Flo Rida. The Big Six.................41-47 When acts have a guaranteed place in the final, that’s usually an excuse to phone stuff in – but France and Italy are hot favourites this year (and Germany is a hot mess) so the Big Six are well worth a preview. The Stats...................48-56 Diagrams, facts, information, theory. You want to impress your mates with absolutely useless knowledge about which sorts of things win? We’ve got everything you need... Semi Final 1 Semi Final 2 The Big Six The Stats SF 1: At A Glance Of the two semi-finals, this is the one that has the potential to cause the greatest upset.
