Kennedy qualifies for Eurovision final
Brian Kennedy has qualified for the final of this year's Eurovision Song Contest with his own composition 'Every Song Is A Cry For Love'.
He has also made a piece of Eurovision history by being the 1000th act to perform in the competition, when he took to the stage in last night's semi-final in Athens.
Nine other countries qualified for the final during last night's show. The songs were chosen by public voting in Europe, Turkey and Israel - by phone and text message. This will also be the method used to choose a winner on Saturday.
Finland, Lithuania, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Ukraine, Turkey, Armenia, Sweden, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Russia also qualified for the final on Saturday night.
