I thought this would stay in the semi because I think juries will love it, but televoters will ignore it, especially performing first. But this looks quite good and now I think they can get enough votes to pass with the juries falling for them. Juries are always Malta's friends after all haha :)

Yep, I have the same opinion. Though, I think the televoters will like it too. In the degree that will be enough for them to make it through (combined with the jury votes). I am not a fan of the song, but the rehearsal is great and there is a lot of positive energy on the stage during their song and I am sure it will qualify.

Very cute. The crate boxes, pianino and the background give it that rustic feel. Love it. :D This actually made me like song more than I used to. :D

after dress rehearsal/ from Oikotimes

VOCAL PERFORMANCE: Microphones should have been arranged better, overall strong vocals for Firelight in the opening of the show.
STAGE PERFORMANCE: Static and as we knew it from the national final
CAMERA WORK: Simple effective and with many facial close-ups
OUTFITS: Simple and casual outfits for everyone, looking great on camera
AUDIENCE REACTION: Big applause
ESTIMATION: On the edge

So things look great for my country right now, but I'm still not 100% convinced this will get through. The "draw" has been cruel, song's not doing that well in fan polls and it's eclipsed by the Israeli entry - and I'm still not a fan of the song, it starts well but the last minute is a pure cacophony of sounds.

Even with them performing first something must go very wrong in their performance for them not to qualify. And they can easily end up on the left side of the table on Saturday. Somehow I feel Malta is the second semi's Netherlands. They are hitting the audience on a very similar spot. And they are good!

I was thinking the same thing

I can see Firelight entering the charts across Europe, and the odds being shortened

I think the odds will go haywire tomorrow night worse than yesterday. Malta, Norway, Poland, Macedonia, Romania, there is room for a lot of surprises in both directions.
