Conor and Lou are back with another episode during Eurovision Week, and things are heating up.

Yesterday marked the first full dress rehearsal for Semi-Final 2, complete with a live audience. This run-through is the clearest look yet at how each act will come across on screen and in the arena. They'll be giving their honest thoughts on the performances on the big night.

Naturally, all eyes are on Ireland. EMMY took to the stage with 'Laika Party. Following Ireland’s qualification last year, can Ireland continue the real momentum and qualify for the Final?

Also, Alex Basmati is on the ground in Basel. She's chatting to GJ Kooijman (Eurovision Journalist), Liv Webster (Aussievision), Chris Calling (YouTuber), and Rob Lilley-Jones (The EuroTrip) about Ireland's staging and chances of qualification. Alex also chats to Michael Kealy - The Irish Head of Delegation about Ireland's staging, the political situation surrounding Eurovision in Ireland, and more. Join the conversation live, share your thoughts in the chat, and let us know who you think is heading to the Grand Final.
