/0 Comments/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

With a month and a half to go until the first Eurovision 2024 semi-final on 7 May, the EBU today announced the order of the semi-final line-up.

The order of appearance was determined by the EBU in cooperation with the Swedish organisers, taking into account which place each country was drawn to perform (first or second), but also in a way that the show would be more interesting.

The official Eurovision YouTube channel announced a few minutes ago the official order of appearance of the songs in the semi-finals of this year’s contest.

It is worth noting that this year is the first year in which the Big 5 and the host country, Sweden, are going to perform their songs live in the two semi-finals. So, among the competing countries in the two semi-finals, we will see Germany, Sweden and the UK as guest stars in the first semi-final, while in the second semi-final we’ll see France, Italy and Spain.

Running Order

Semi-final 1 – Tuesday 7 May

  1. Cyprus
  2. Serbia
  3. Lithuania
  4. Ireland
    United Kingdom
  5. Ukraine
  6. Poland
  7. Croatia
  8. Iceland
    Germany
  9. Slovenia
  10. Finland
  11. Moldova
    Sweden
  12. Azerbaijan
  13. Australia
  14. Portugal
  15. Luxembourg

Semi-final 2 – Thursday 11 May

  1. Malta
  2. Albania
  3. Greece
  4. Switzerland
  5. Czechia
    France
  6. Austria
  7. Denmark
  8. Armenia
  9. Latvia

  10. San Marino
  11. Georgia
  12. Belgium
  13. Estonia
    Italy
  14. Israel
  15. Norway
  16. Netherlands

The analysis from fans and beyond has been on fire for a few minutes now. After the theories based on the countries’ history in the competition, it’s a first insight into how deep the qualification to the final is or isn’t. In other words, it’s time to make our predictions about who will make it to the final and who are favourites to say goodbye to Malmö early…

Malmö will host the 68th Eurovision Song Contest from 7 to 11 May at the Malmö Arena. The motto of this year’s event, as chosen by the organisers, is ‘United by Music’.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

After more than a month of wait, the revamped version of “Loop” is finally out. “Loop” by Sarah Bonnici was MESC’s 2024 winning entry in early February. Rumors regarding a possible revamp of Sarah Bonnici’s bid for Eurovision 2024 were present for long, the official confirmation of those, however, was done a few days ago.

Listen to the revamped version of “Loop” below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6eS60n4wg8

“Loop” is signed by Sarah Bonnici herself, Atticus Blue, Linnea Deb et al. and its revamped version was recorded in London, UK. Sarah Bonnici even recorded a new music video for her entry in addition to the one filmed in purpose of the Maltese pre-selection.

Even in its MESC 2024 winning version, “Loop” was never made available on streaming services. As a result, her fans were thrilled to hear the news, as evidenced by a brief video Sarah posted on Instagram, in which many fans beg for “Loop” to be released on streaming services.

Sarah Bonnici won MESC 2024 in early February with her entry “Loop” and will therefore represent Malta in Malmö. Malta will perform in the first half of the second semi-final on May 9.

/1 Comment/in , , /by

It looks like Sarah Bonnici will be representing Malta in the 68th Eurovision Song Contest, which will take place in May in Malmö, Sweden, with a revamped version of “Loop”.

The singer revealed to her followers, through an Instagram story, that she is currently in Stockholm, working in the studio alongside Linnea Deb and Joy Deb. Both have previously taken part in the competition. Specifically, they signed “Heroes”, with which Måns Zelmerlöw won the 2015 Eurovision song contest, along with other entries like Senhit’s “Adrenalina” and Saara Aalto’s “Monsters”.

The above made many fans believe that Sarah Bonnici will revamp her Eurovision 2024 entry. The national broadcaster has not yet confirmed this information, though.

Malta in the Eurovision Song Contest

Malta has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 34 times since its debut in 1971. The small mediterranean country has yet to win the contest, but is the only non-winning country to have achieved four top three results. Malta finished last on its first two attempts in 1971 and 1972, and had a 16-year absence from the contest between 1975 and 1991, when it returned. Malta has participated every year since. Malta’s return proved more successful, reaching the top 10 in 12 out of 15 contests from 1991 to 2005, including third-place results for Mary Spiteri (1992) and Chiara (1998) and second-place results for Ira Losco (2002) and Chiara (2005). Since finishing last for the third time in 2006, Malta has struggled to make an impact, having achieved only two top 10 results in recent years: first being Gianluca Bezzina’s eighth-place in 2013, and Destiny Chukunyere’s seventh-place finish in 2021.

Do you think Sarah Bonnici can bring back Malta at the Grand Final?
