Eurovision 2021 live-on-tape the finalists - Our rankings

This morning we watched the broadcast of the 'Eurovision Song Celebration - Live-on-Tape - Part 2 - The Finalists'.

25 of the acts who performed in the Eurovision Grand Final had their 'live-on-tape' shown.

You can check out our rankings on the 'Eurovision Song Celebration - Live-on-Tape - Part 1 - The Semi-Finalists’ which took place the day before here.

The United Kingdom was the only nation not to participate in this show.

The show was once again hosted by Finland's Krista Siegfrids who represented the nation at Eurovision 2013 with 'Marry Me'.

A few dedicated members of the Aussievision team woke up for another early 5:00am start to check out the show and vote for our favourites.

3rd: Lithuania - The Roop - 'Discoteque' - 28 points

The Roop from Lithuania, as always, delivered one of the most polished and slick live-on-tape performances.

2nd: Italy - Måneskin - 'Zitti E Buoni' - 51 points

Most of the team acknowledged that Italy would have still won based on their live-on-tape. They captured that live concert feel.

1st: Ukraine - Go_A - 'SHUM' - 53 points

Ukraine was our favourite, their staging concept on par with their staging in Rotterdam, but the smaller stage environment made the performance even better and Go_A would have achieved a better result at the contest with this live-on-tape performance. They made the raft really look like they were travelling time/the universe.

Other notable mentions

The biggest glow up of the show from most contributors was Serbia! Hurricane threw the kitchen sink at this live-on-tape, including some crazy wind machines. Their dedication really lifted their live-to-tape performance.
