The first semifinal of the Eurovision Song Contest was held last night in Basel.
In addition to the finalists putting on their show – there were two performances from the Swiss contestants – last year’s winner Nemo, who performed a reworked version of his winning song and this year’s contender, Zoë Më.
The show was watched by millions across the world.
But it was a sad end for Slovenia, Belgium, Azerbaijan, Croatia and Cyprus. They’re all out after the competition.
Switzerland is secured a final position as host. The big five European counties, the UK, Spain, Germany and Italy - are also guaranteed a place in the final.
The next semi-final will be held on Thursday.
