Twenty-four nations are preparing to do battle in the 50th Eurovision Song Contest in Kiev on Saturday.

The annual song contest is one of Europe's major TV events, with more than 150 million people expected to watch the final. The winner is determined by telephone voting in 39 countries.

This year's event is hosted in the Ukraine after it won the 2004 contest with a leather-clad performance of Wild Dances by singer Ruslana.

Ten countries saw their participants going to the final of Eurovision Song Contest 2005 who will join the rest of 14 contestants, plus Ukraine, on Saturday.

Bulgaria's Kaffe did not earn votes enough to advance for the final battle in Kiev, but still has earmarked the history of the contest with the first ever presentation of the country at the musical festival.
