The highlight of the musical year – Eurovision 2016 is almost upon us and having reviewed all the entries and the first semi final is done! I scored 8/10 for my predictions of who would qualify to go on to compete in the grand final in Stockholm…which I will be attending!

From each semi final only 10 acts will qualify to the grand final. The Big Five countries (UK, Italy, France, Spain and Germany) and the host country (Sweden) will automatically get to the final.

I really wish these artists got to perform in the semi finals rather than just a short clip – especially this year as I think they have the strongest songs!

Here is the playlist of the big five and Sweden followed by links to my reviews of each song (in no particular order)
