Semi Final One Jury Show:
Half of the votes in the first semi final will be decided tonight from 21:00 CET when the jury show gets underway. The Jury show will be voted on by the juries from all of the 18 competing countries in the first semi final as well as France, Spain and Sweden. This show is crucial to whether a country will get through to the final. Despite the new weighting of the jury vote and public vote a poor vocal during the jury show and a secure position in the final will be totally dependent on the voting public on Tuesday night.
We will be live blogging through the Jury Show to keep you up to date with how the performances are going and what you can expect from tomorrow nights televised show.
