Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Nina Sublatti is the lonely Warrior in the grand final tomorrow. Singing at number 23 only ballads follow her and it isn't exactly party times before her after Serbia finishes their business at number 8. And the other Warrier was sent packing her bags and home yesterday. Listen what she's got to say and ... Vote, vote, vote!

Last but not least the only real warrior in Vienna: Nina Sublatti. She's got a look you won't forget right away, the song hits you and she scres you to like her. She looks like some vixen out of a cartoon and the backdrop compliments that, with the crying eyes as the highlight. Georgia is so qualifying and propably doing way better in the final that we think now. 

After four quite excellent performances we have one that doesn't seem so interesting or captivating, Malta's warrior is dressed in black lace and giving a classic diva performance just standing still and waving arms while yelling out her tune. The backdrop in flames goes from blue to orange to red and there are some pyros, too. Quite unoriginal and standard in every way. Nah, I'm not impressed. 

Georgia's backdrop looks like a cartoon many times, you know those dark and moody cartoons with weird creatures and Nina herself looks like she jumped out of them with her warrior dress and long boots, and crown like hairdo. She does have backing singers but they are hidden away and the spotlight is only on Nina herself.  It's all very dark and powerful, almost scary which takes us to the point: scary angry female artists have never made it so far very far - will she break the trend? 

The Maltese national selection took place tonight. No changes in anyone's performances from the Friday's semifinal, only that some did sing slightly better perhaps, while others... Oh well.  Conchita Wurst opened the show with Rise like a Phoenix . Then the 14 songs were presented before neverending interval acts borrowed from last week's Junior Eurovision while waiting for the results. Among them last winners Firelight with their Coming home,  follow up Talk dirty to me  and the new one Backdrop of life.  Then Conchita returned with Heroes and we had hope the interval acts were over.... And indeed.... the voting was the most uninteresting ever Amber scoring full 12 points from televotes and each juror. Amber has been a regular in the Maltese selection for years already. This spring she came 4th with Because I have you , in 2013 also 4th with In control , in 2012 3rd with Answer with your eye s and in 2010 with Catch 22 13th.
