Montenegro and Malta – together at last

Montenegro really remains professional, standard issue Zeljko fare. Vocally fine, staging almost fine… there is one little moment where they take an overhead shot of a little aeroplane dance near the end, and I’d generally want an overhead shot to look more choreographed and polished. It’s a jarring moment of vague amateurishness in an otherwise strong package, and might be a minor mood-breaker. Still nailed on to qualify though.

Dear Malta,

Last year’s thing never wins.

Love, Nick

All Amber needs now is a stick on beard for the full Conchita. Oddly though, there seems to be a conscious choice to totally fall off the big final note, like she’s utterly confident in betraying that in spite of the previous 178 seconds, she ultimately doesn’t really believe in this one and kind of wishes she’d got her turn at winning MSFE in a better song year. Genuinely suspect that Malta’s qualifying run might end this year, though it’ll be a close-run thing and could go either way.
