We're live online! Get in touch below using the liveblog system, drop a tweet to @davidokeeffe and watch on BBC3 or RTÉ 2 now.



Earlier post:
The liveblog has returned. After the success and general interest in it, and since the popularity of the recent "Eurosong" version, it was only right to bring it back and do it all again. And since it's the week of the big show you've got three to feast your senses on: tonight, Semi-Final 2 on Thursday (when Ireland will perform) and Saturday for the main event itself. All of the events kick off at 8pm Irish time.

This page will be live from 7.45 tonight, so come on in and join the party. There are some heavyweights in tonight's show so it's well worth watching. Don't worry, you'll still have time to see Desperate Housewives at 10, if that's your thing- never fear.

Remember to sign-up your email using the link in the liveblog system and you'll get sent a reminder before things kick off. If you're on Twitter you can follow me on @davidokeeffe where you're sure to hear me mention it 100+ times before this evening.


Catch 'yall later.
