Eurovision 2024: Malta’s Second Rehearsal!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Day six of rehearsals today and it’s the turn of the 16 countries from the second semi-final to take to the Malmö stage again for their second rehearsal. In addition, the Big 5 countries (France, Germany, United Kingdom, Spain and Italy) as well as the host country Sweden are going to take the stage today for their first technical rehearsal. So the day starts with Malta.

Who is Sarah Bonnici?

Sarah has had vocal lessons from Miriam Christine, who was Malta’s Eurovision entry in 1996, performing In A Woman’s Heart at the Contest in Oslo. Miriam encouraged Sarah to take part in competitions herself, and from there she went on to take 3rd place in Malta Junior Eurosong in 2009.

Sarah has a star-studded songwriting team for Loop, and has also been part of the artistry. Linnea Deb and Joy Deb are well-known in the world of Eurovision, having written Måns Zelmerlöw’s Heroes which won the Contest for Sweden in 2015. Michael Joe Cini, known as Micimago, co-wrote Malta’s 2023 entry for The Busker, Dance (Our Own Party). And for Kevin Lee, this will be his 5th time working behind the scenes at the Eurovision Song Contest in some form or another. They’re joined by Leire Gotxi Angel and Sebastian Pritchard-James, who started as street performers and have now racked up over 9 million streams on their tracks.

The Rehearsal

The main dancing routine is largely the same as in the music video, other than having been polished up a bit in places. BUT the dance break has had a rework – it still has the flip, but with added shirt removal by the four male backing dancers, and also…blindfolds. There’s a very impressive salsa-style shoulder lift.

Sarah wears the same outfit as in the first rehearsal. Fireworks during the big note in the bridge before the final chorus, and a big firework finish.

Luxembourg: Details revealed about the past collaboration with San Marino for Eurovision!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

New details have emerged about a potential partnership from nearly a decade ago that would bring Luxembourg to Eurovision 2015.

Ahead of Eurovision 2015, there were reports that Luxembourg and San Marino were to team up for an entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. Thierry Mersch gave an interview to Luxembourger Wort explaining more about how he almost represented San Marino and Luxembourg on the Eurovision stage:

“A member of the ESC delegation from San Marino TV contacted me and at first I wasn’t sure whether he was serious at all. The idea was for two European microstates to come together for a unique project.”

Then there was a discussion about cooperation, which was sparked by the then Minister of Culture stating her agreement to regarding the return of Luxembourg. New details revealed:

“The song was already decided, I already had a duet partner. Since the organizers did not want to support this unique project alone, Luxembourg was supposed to contribute 50,000 euros – and that ultimately failed.”

It is not known who the duet partner would be, nor the song that was to be performed. San Marino participated in Eurovision 2015 represented by two previous participants of the state in Junior Eurovision. Anita Simoncini and Michele Perniola and the song  “Chain of Lights”.

Luxembourg returns to the Eurovision Song Contest this year in Malmö after a hiatus of 31 years represented by Tali Golergant and the song “Fighter”

Further changes are planned for Mustii’s outfit after his first appearance on the Eurovision stage.

Belgium’s Mustii held his first rehearsal for Eurovision 2024, with the singer and the delegation now thinking about his performance of ‘Before The Party’s Over’. At his first rehearsal, Mustii wore a sheer top with Swarovski crystals, a light white shirt and matching pants. However, this outfit will not be the final one on the Eurovision stage.

RTBF states:

“This outfit, although splendid, is not final and will be refined for the Eurovision semi-final. A judicious choice by stylist Elke Oost who not only chose to promote Mustii but also wanted her creation to play a key role in the staging.”

The second rehearsal of Belgum is scheduled to take place on Friday 3/5 so we will have a better picture of ​​what we will see from Mustii on the competition stage.
