All eyes will be on Molly, who is aiming to become the first UK winner since 1997 with her self-penned anthem Children of the Universe, and Ireland's Can-Linn featuring Kasey Smith - assuming the latter made it through Thursday's semi-final. They are likely to face stiff competition from the other 24 countries, including the host nation's Basim with his Bruno Mars-style Cliche Love Song, the German trio Elaiza, who use traditional instruments to produce a more modern sound, and France's Twin Twin, who bring to mind Jedward with their fun dance track Moustache. Fans of The X Factor will recognise the Spanish act Ruth Lorenzo, who came fifth in the 2008 contest, Axel Hirsoux may well become Belgium's answer to Paul Potts with his ballad Mother, and Austria's entry is a man posing as a bearded lady. It really does take all sorts. Red button viewers will be able to access lyrics to all songs and send comments.
