Justs is singing Heartbeat and his boyish appearance belies his belter of a voice.
It's quite a rocky number and he commands the stage by himself.
Justs worked as a music teacher and is training as a vocal coach of popular and jazz music. Not content to rest on his Eurovision laurels, he wants to open an alternative music school.
Spain's song has gone down very well indeed on Twitter. Mostly.

Barei co-wrote her song Say Yay! and says it’s a "battle cry for fighters".
This is an upbeat number and she works the stage with her moves, including a surprise one half-way through. The table next to me is bouncing and clapping - the press room seem to love it.
But Barei has a serious message. Eurovision means "discipline, hard work and self-learning" she says.
You’ve been warned.
Russia are of course the favourites to win, but some mixed reaction on Twitter:

Russia

All eyes are on Sergey Lazarev, whose song is remarkably similar to last year’s winner, Heroes by Mans Zelmerlow. It’s also expected to win.
His song, You Are the Only One, features some amazing computer-generated graphics and is an urgent-sounding catchy pop number with plenty to feast your eyes on. At some points you almost forget to listen to what he's singing.
"I will do my best to represent Russia in the best possible way," he says.
"The message of the song is very positive. It is a difficult period for everyone and I believe that music should be a way out for the audience and this is what we have tried to do with our entry."
Definitely agree with these re: Croatia.

Looks like Nina Kraljic has been taking body language lessons from Diana Vickers, and fashion tips from Lady Gaga.
And did she go to a student hair-dressing salon to cut her fringe before the show?

Nina Kraljic is singing Lighthouse, Ellie Goulding-style. She has an amazing costume, which is truly stunning.
Her song has the customary Eurovision key-change mid-way through and a beautiful, haunting accompaniment.
She won The Voice in 2015 and says: "I have been following Eurovision since I was little and this is a dream come true."
Judging by your reaction, not all of you have been waiting for Lithuania's entry...

Love a bit of acrobatics on stage. Thanks Donny.

Donny Montell is making his second foray into Eurovision, having competed in 2012.
"I am ready to live the Eurovision experience to the maximum," he says of his song, I've Been Waiting for this Night.
His set has some clever lighting which glows under his silver and green shoes and explodes across the floor to match them. It looks amazing when the camera pulls back.
The song is catchy enough, but possibly not enough to blow the judges away.
Some Serbia reaction, not all of it complimentary...

Zaa Sanja Vucic is singing Goodbye (Shelter) and is rocking an impressive pair of tasselled shoulder pads.
This is a very serious-sounding song with stern-looking dancers and singers to match. There's no messing with Zaa, who ends her song with a raised, clenched fist. The press room seem to like it.
She wants to show that "alternative music can be inspiring and a hell lot of fun".
Bit of a mixed bag reaction to Cyprus.

Minus One, who started as a cover band, provide a change of style and tempo after so many pop songs and ballads.
Their rocky song Alter Ego features the band members performing behind bars. Keep your eyes peeled for the guitarist's blue beard.
They describe Eurovision as "an incredible musical experience and possibly the best party in the world".
Australia's entry just got a bit Minority Report. Let's hope those people who appeared in the background won't end up on a list somewhere.
And now for our favourite European country: Australia.

Even if they win though, the contest isn't allowed to be held in Australia next year because rules state the contest has to take place in a European country.

Dami Im singing Sound of Silence is a firm favourite with the bookmakers and Graham Norton, who fancies this one as the winner.
The song has amazing on-stage production and she takes the very effective step of sitting on a huge, glittering block throughout much of her performance. It focuses the mind on her song, I find.
It's a punchy pop tune with powerful vocals.
Dami has a degree in classical piano but chose to pursue a pop career. She also won Australian X Factor in 2013 and was mentored by Dannii Minogue.
"All my life I felt like I didn't belong anywhere. I remember the first time I watched Eurovision with my friends, I thought that is where I belong,” she says.
