sign language


The Eurovision Song Contest is held in Lisbon, Portugal this Saturday May 12th and the UK are sending SuRi with "Storms". Suri has recorded a video of her song where she signs the lyrics.

The theme for Eurovision 2018 is "All Aboard". There are 43 countries participating from around Europe and Australia are also participating. Each country sends a song and people across the world watch, voting on their favourite. Last year Portugal won.

This year's entrant from Finland also recorded a special version of her song, "Monsters" where she sang in 34 languages.
