Our verdict: La Lakers forward has clearly practiced long and hard, but his rendition of The Fray’s ‘How To Save A Life’ leaves a lot to be desired - Deux points
Our verdict: There’s a lot to be said about the additional autotune to hide the duet’s poor vocals. Bonus point for singing about healthy eating - Sept points
Great Britain – Bradley Wiggins featuring Paul Weller
Our verdict: Mrs Vitali Klitscko has undoubtedly stolen the night with her performance of the Jennifer Rush 80s classic. Could well become a Eurovision classic, you know - Douze points (and winner of TheScore.ie’s Eurosong 2013)
Even better than the real thing: TheScore.ie’s Eurovision Song Contest 2013
