Here's a few of the emails you've been sending us this evening.
Really enjoying it all this year. Nothing too weird.
Debbie and Jensen
Absolutely adorable I love Joe and Jake's performance!! I am in love with them!
Bethany Crouch
Reading the comments, I'm glad l'm watching the semi-final tennis in Rome which is riveting...
Linda Fox
Only feeling three songs so far: 1/ Belgium, 2/ Australia, 3/ Russia.
Debbie Harmitt
It's the technicians, video and lighting that should get an award. Outstanding.
John Pinniger
Croatia... Winner.
Clothing removal and dodgy key change!

Image source, EPAIveta Mukuchyan is another lady with a cape and a very catchy chorus.
She sings the dramatic Lovewave while her cape and hair billow behind her throughout.
You may be interested to hear that having studied linguistics, she decided to pursue music and studied at Armenia's State Conservatory. She went on to take part in the Armenian version of Pop Idol.
And another nugget - before she goes on stage she always meditates with her crystals.
More Joe and Jake reaction.

Some of you were pleasantly surprised by how tolerable the UK entry actually is...

This ticks plenty of Eurovision boxes with a bouncy, catchy pop song performed by singers who obviously love what they're doing. They give a polished performance and their singing is spot on. But is it distinctive enough to win?
The lads, in case you didn't know, met on The Voice and decided to team up.
"We can't overestimate what an honour it is to be representing the UK in the biggest musical contest ever," they say.
Austria is a bit too saccharin for Twitter.

Austria

Image source, Getty ImagesZoe, who's Austrian, chose to sing Loin d'Ici in French because she said "it's French I love". Well, it is a beautiful language.
Her flowing peach-coloured dress and stunning backdrop of trees, leaves and changing seasons make for a pleasant if undramatic rendition.
The song tells the story of the search for paradise. She says it's not a physical location but an inner image everyone can find themselves.
And rather touchingly, she wrote the song with her father Christof.
The indie influence of Georgia's entry hasn't gone unnoticed.

We're not entirely sure how this song made it through the semi-final. The lead singer sounds a bit like a Georgian Liam Gallagher. With longer hair. And less slouchy.
Georgia

Image source, Getty ImagesNika Kocharov and Young Georgian Lolitaz describe themselves as "absolutely different from the usual style of the Eurovision" and "experimental".
They're basically a rock band with electric guitars and drums and everything.
Their song Midnight Gold isn't your average Eurovision performance, but it's great for a bit of variety.
Lots of comments about Malta's performance.

Malta

Walk on Water by Ira Losco opens with a huge image of her face, which will grab your attention.
This song is perfect for her powerful vocals and she looks very at home on the Eurovision stage. This may be because she first took part in 2002 when she came second with Seventh Wonder.
Ira is also an advocate of LGBTI rights and supports anti-bullying initiatives. In 2008 she also received a medal from the president of Malta.
She also says she "cannot say no to a burger".
What's not to like?
The political themes of Ukraine's song are being talked about a lot on Twitter... few people are confident that it's going to win though.

Ukraine

Jamala is singing 1944, “dedicated to my great grandmother Nazylkhan”. This is expected to finish in the top three acts tonight.
She’s the first ever Crimean Tatar to perform at the contest and her song is about Stalin, Crimea and claims of ethnic cleansing. It’s not your usual Eurovision fare.
It will come as no surprise to discover she studied at Kiev National Music Academy as an opera singer. Her long, sustained notes are greeted with roars of applause in the press room.
Jamala's song also uses the duduk, also known as the Armenian oboe, which adds a haunting accompaniment.
We're past the 20 songs mark now, and some of you are starting to feel impatient...

Russian commentators are ecstatic about Lazarev’s performance: “A singer whose charisma is worth only 12 points!” and "Bravo, simply well done!” are among the comments.
