Eurovision Final Tonight Bonnie Tyler "Let's Bring This Home For The UK"

All eyes are on Sweden tonight for the final of the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest.

Bonnie Tyler will perform in position 15, of 26 competing countries and is determined to deliver a show-stopping vocal performance, to ensure the UK finishes inside the Top 10. Or hopefully even higher.

Speaking to me backstage at the Malmö Arena , the Welsh star told me "people have been fantastic to me out here so I just we get the votes now. It's been everything hoped and more. It's so electric over here..the atmosphere is something else. You could light up Times Square with the energy out here. But it has been a week of fun but hard work, so I'm hoping my voice will be good tonight. It would be great to bring this home for the UK."

Last minute adjustments are being made to Bonnie's dress this morning, with extra sequins and sparkle helping to make her Suzanne Neville inspired outfit stand out on stage, in front of 11,000 fans and a TV audience of 120 million viewers. And "Believe In Me" went down well with the fans last night at the dress rehearsal which was also watched by the national juries who make up 50% of the vote. And tonight, Bonnie will be the only performer to use the hydraulic stage lift prop at the end of her set, assisted by thousands of illuminated audience wrist-bands adding some extra magic to her three minutes.

It's what been emotional week for Bonnie, the star also revealed that she'll be wearing a ring worn by her late mother Elie on her right hand, as a lucky charm "and to make me feel that my mother is there with me."

Thousands of fans are now here in Malmö awaiting the final; which will air on BBC 1 8pm UK time. And the entire city, Sweden's 3rd largest, is bracing itself for 24 hours of Euro parties and celebrations. And wow, do the Swedes do this well!

My tips for tonight? Denmark, Georgia, Finland, Azerbaijan and Russia and my 5 tips. Although I do believe Bonnie Tyler will secure the UK it's best placing in years.
