In the ultimate recycling exercise, our favourite Mediterranean broadcaster, TVM, has decided not only to reuse the stage of the Junior Eurovision 2014 for their national final, but the infrastructure, camera positions AND Seating by having their national Eurovision selection for 2015 the week after the JESC, so two contests for the price of one!! , how very Frugal of them.
However, when it comes to the number of songs, no expense has been spent here, they are keeping with last year’s formula by announcing the 20 songs on Xarabank in the first week in October (and they are listed below), having a 20 song semi final on Friday 21st November with the final on the 22nd November and having an 83-17 Jury and Televote split to decide the winner.
The Semi Final, as stated earlier, was in Marsa Shipbuilding, and was a decent enough Show, if the songs were a bit lacking. As you can see below, 14 songs got through to the final and they are listed at the top of the table in running order – 6 did not…..
The Final, the next evening, was not the shoe-in for the Nuns as everyone expected. In Fact Amber, who to be fair was the best singer over the two nights, stormed away with the title.
