The Eurovision Song Contest takes place this evening in Tel Aviv. Israel is hosting the event following Netta winning the contest last year in Portugal with her song "Toy".
41 countries have entered this year's contest, with semi-finals having taken place earlier in the week.
The final 26 songs will be performed at the Expo Tel Aviv, in front of around 9,000 guests and millions of television viewers from around the world.
The Netherlands, Australia, Sweden and Switzerland are some of the favourites to take the crown.
This year's event is the 64th edition and will see Madonna as part of the entertainment package through the evening.
