Stop now FiK, we have a winner. How good was that? After last seasons dearth of accordions this is going to be hard to beat.
An accordion never fails to entice you out of hiding.

I feel like there's two separate songs happening here.

Is this an entry or another interval act?

I love her.

I had FiK playing in the background and was stopped in my tracks by the chirpiness of the song in comparison to the rest. I would blame Jamala for the depth of dirgeness but Albania has plenty previous.

A poor, poor, poor man's "Use Somebody".

Seeing as Armenia is Christmas Eve I assume we will be watching it drunk?!

This needs Georgia's lighting fit from Globen.

Bit overdressed for a group of rockers. Have they just had a wedding gig?

The pensioners will have a heart attack.

And that's it until tomorrow night.

As long as Macka makes it I'll be happy enough.

The FiK theme tune always promises more than it delivers.

I liked 1, 5, 7, 8, & 12...

although I think Edea or Neki (or should I say his backing singer/wailer) were my faves...

Flaka
Jessica
Edea
The operatic backing singer
The modern guy
The novelty guy

Those were passable for me. It's all about what Lindita is bringing tomorrow though! <3

Just trying to listen to the Maltese lot but I'm stuck on Brooke's Unstoppable! Jeez that sounds good ( might be because of 2 hours of FiK)

I just feel that both Brooke and Maxine are back with a weaker version of the same style of song.

I mean, they're still good, just not as good...

Omg - Zeljko Joksimovic is playing in London in March!

If only I hadn't used every penny I've got on Eurovision events already 😢

Malta favs:

1. Brooke - Winner.
2. Jade Vella - This banger goes a little way to make up for no Jessika or Christabelle! <3
3. Maxine Pace - This is much better than the kitschy cheese she tried last year.
4. Cherton Caruana
5. Miriana Conte
6. Janice Mangion - I just like hearing a bit of Maltese.
7. Rhiannon Micallef - I'd like this a lot more without the Raquel style manglish slurring.

Although FiK is always awful, I think Albania are one of my favourite countries

So, so underrated...

Malta needs more listens although I am liking Claudia's song.

If Miriana Conte was hoping to have this year's "Cool Me Down", sadly she's missed the target somewhat.

I wonder if Janice Mangion has an advantage with the native language song? And if they were to send it would they then translate it to English?
