TORINO (VG) Saturday night is the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Norway’s Subwoolfer enters the scene as the seventh country of the 25 participating countries.

Just updated

The final place for Subwoolfer was secured after the first semifinal earlier this week.

The yellow wolves perform the song “Give That Wolf A Banana”.

The song was written by Subwoolfer members “Jim” and “Keith” along with DJ Astronaut. Subwoolfs still hold their true identities secret.

FAVORITE: The Kalush Orchestra from Ukraine is a soaring favorite. Here they are during the last dress rehearsal on Saturday.

Several «Norwegian» contributions

Norway is also “with” for two other countries:

Norwegian-Greek Amanda Georgiadi Tenfjord from Ålesund sings the song “Die Together” as a representative of Greece, as number 17 in the record-breaking final.

The Czech Republic opens the ball with the group We Are Domi, where two of three members are Norwegian. They are Casper Hatlestad and Benjamin Rekstad. Vocalist in the electro-pop band is Dominika Hasek.

Give peace a chance

Give peace a chance, was the message from the opening number during this year’s Eurovision final in Turin, Italy.

The iconic John Lennon song was performed by the Italian project “Rockin’1000”, with over a thousand musicians playing and singing at the same time.

Ukraine’s favorite

Ukrainian Kalush Orchestra is considered as the clear favorite of gaming companies, right in front of Sweden.

The overall overview shows just hours before the final that Ukraine has a 60 percent chance of winning.

Sweden is considered to have a chance of winning of 11 percent, the United Kingdom 10 percent.

Ukraine is number twelve in the final.

The Eurovision final will probably be somewhat marked by the ongoing war in Ukraine. Russia has not been allowed to participate.
