Eurovision semi-final winner 'unveiled' as Boy George 'faces early exit'
Senhit will perform “Superstar” with uncredited vocals from Boy George, and bookmakers give San Marino just 7/2 odds to qualify.
On Tuesday, May 12, 2026, San Marino's entry featuring singer Senhit and 80s icon Boy George performed 'Superstar' during the first Eurovision Song Contest semi-final in Vienna.
Representing San Marino for the fourth time, Senhit is joined by Boy George, who was 'shocked' when the Eurovision offer arose; the country has participated 15 times without winning.
Bookmakers BOYLE Sports have priced San Marino at 7/2 to qualify, as the pair faces what reports describe as a challenging road to reach the grand final.
Fifteen countries are competing for ten spots in the grand finale, with juries having cast their votes during the first semi-final on Monday night.
Thirty nations will vie for a spot in Saturday's May 16 final, where they join the Big Four and Austria, despite some countries boycotting this year's event.
Boy George (64) made a striking contribution on Tuesday evening in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest. The Culture Club frontman sang along for a very short time to the song Superstar by singer Senhit, the entry from San Marino. He did so wearing a silver kilt and an appropriate shirt, incidentally despite his criminal record. The duo did not reach the final.
