Whichever country's contestant wins, the following year the event is held in their country.\u003cbr/\u003e              Portugal won last year in Kiev with an intimate solo ballad by Salvador Sobral. It was the country's first victory since it started competing in 1964. The Altice Arena, a riverside concert venue in the capital Lisbon, was chosen to host the 2018 competition.\u003cbr/\u003e              Sobral, 28, had a successful heart transplant last December and has limited his activities, but he is expected to make a guest appearance with at the Grand Final in a duet with legendary Brazilian musician Caetano Veloso.\u003cbr/\u003e              This year saw the return to competition of Russia, a traditional favorite, after missing last year's event amid a diplomatic spat with host Ukraine. But it was a cruel return: Russia's contestant Julia Samoylova went out in the semifinals, while Ukraine singer Melovin advanced to the Grand Final.\u003cbr/\u003e              The Eurovision Song Contest was widely rebuked last year for picking three men to host the show in Kiev.\u003cbr/\u003e              The organizers' response for Lisbon: four female presenters.\u003cbr/\u003e              The four Portuguese-speaking women are Daniela Ruah, who grew up in Portugal and is a star on the hit television show \"NCIS: Los Angeles,\" and three women known for their TV work in Portugal: Filomena Cautela, Silvia Alberto and Catarina Furtado.\u003cbr/\u003e              Six countries automatically qualify for the Grand Final: the so-called \"Big Five\" of France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom, as well as the host country.\u003cbr/\u003e              Two semifinals last week cut the field for the Grand Final from 43 to 26.\u003cbr/\u003e              The bookmakers' favorites this year are: Israel's Netta Barzilai, with her playful song \"Toy\"; Cypriot singer Eleni Foureira, with her fiery performance of \"Fuego\"; and France's Madame Monsieur with the politically charged \"Mercy,\" about migrants who risk their lives crossing the Mediterranean on unsafe boats to reach a hopefully better life in Europe.\u003cbr/\u003e              Portugal's winner Sobral broke with tradition, wearing a causal jacket and shirt and giving a soulful, restrained performance that went against the show's Euro-pop orthodoxy, and this year Claudia Pascoal also keeps things simple with \"O Jardim\" (The Garden).\u003cbr/\u003e              History suggests the winner is unlikely to become a household name. Some have gone on to bigger things, however _ most memorably ABBA, the Swedish winners in 1974, and Spanish singer Julio Iglesias, who came out on top four years earlier.\u003cbr/\u003e              The Eurovision Song Contest is famous for its excesses, especially in staging and costumes, but this year producers are keeping a close eye on their spending.\u003cbr/\u003e              Gonçalo Reis, head of host broadcaster Radiotelevisao Portuguesa, has promised that this will be the most inexpensive Eurovision Song Contest of recent times. That has translated into fewer stage fireworks and elaborate props, allowing a greater focus on the music _ just as Sobral urged when he was crowned winner.\u003cbr/\u003e              With media companies feeling a financial pinch, Reis says RTP will spend around 20 million euros ($23.8 million) putting on the show, including security and other associated items. RTP will have to pay 4 million euros of that, with the rest coming from the EBU.\u003cbr/\u003e              Reis reckons Lisbon and Portugal's revenue from tourism and sponsorship deals will amount to more than the amount spent.\u003cbr/\u003e              The magic words: \"douze points.\" It's like hitting a home run or scoring a three-point shot in basketball, and it elicits loud cheers from flag-waving supporters at the show.\u003cbr/\u003e              After all the acts have performed, the tense, drawn-out collating of votes begins. The live coverage jumps to each participating country, where a jury and viewers award between one and a maximum 12 points to their favorite songs. Those votes are combined to give each country a single score.\u003cbr/\u003e              No country can vote for its own contestant. By tradition, each announcement is made in English or French (\"douze points\" in French means \"12 points\"). Ending up with \"nul points\" (zero points) is deeply embarrassing.\u003cbr/\u003e              Barring technical glitches, the winner should be crowned before midnight (2300 gmt).\u003cbr/\u003e            \u003cbr/\u003e\u003cbr/\u003e              Lisbon, 12 May 2018\u003cbr/\u003e              1.
