“Lucifer’s ‘douze points’ go to Cyprus in this Eurovision Song Contest,” Netflix wrote.

This year’s Eurovision song contest is being held in Rotterdam, Netherlands on Saturday.

Cyprus’ entrant, Elena Tsagrinou was among 16 acts taking part in the first of two semi-finals to secure 10 places each.
