May 8, 201411 yr I think Malta are being underestimated in the same way The Netherlands were by the bookmakers - Currently 14/1 to finish first in tonight's show and 50/1 to win - Iv whacked a few quid on them finishing in poll position later!
May 8, 201411 yr It's very difficult to decide on definite qualifiers in this semi..... Almost Certainty: Norway, Greece Very Likely: Romania Probably: Austria, Malta, Israel Up in the Air: Finland, Poland, Ireland, Lithuania, Switzerland, Macedonia, Belarus, Slovenia Almost No Chance: Georgia The "Up in the Air" section scares me. Question: Are Israel singing in Arabic or English tonight? Edited May 8, 201411 yr by Sabrewulf

Question: Are Israel singing in Arabic or English tonight? It's Hebrew (isn't it) and probably half English, half Hebrew.
May 8, 201411 yr Author I put money on Malta a long time ago. I know they've never really had any hype but I hope they can change that tonight. Going on first won't help however.

May 8, 201411 yr It's Hebrew (isn't it) and probably half English, half Hebrew. Woops, yeah I think Hebrew is right. It's just I saw an official recap on YouTube the other day she was singing the chorus in Hebrew.
May 8, 201411 yr Mei sings 'Same Heart' all in English except for the second verse and second chorus which is in Hebrew.
May 8, 201411 yr Malta are going through reasonably comfortably but at this point I can only see them making a mid-sized impact at best. I'm sure they'll put on a good performance but that 1st position is not going to help them, especially as it's the sort of song that could get lost if you aren't into Mumfordesque indie-rock. If it were a bigger semi they might be in trouble.

May 8, 201411 yr I'm going from a casual viewer's perspective really. As much as I like it now too, I don't think it has the impact enough for me to think it'll be especially remembered at the end of the night.

May 8, 201411 yr Can someone please give me the number to call or SMS for Malta and Ireland tonight? I'm in France so will be watching the French commentary and the numbers won't be visible as France could only vote in the first semi - I want to use my English SIM to vote while I'm here :P .... merci beacoup!
May 8, 201411 yr Here for Jess only. If BBC f*** it up I'm going to cut a bitch. Absolutely loving the production this year. DR have done a sublime job.
May 8, 201411 yr Yeah, I'm really liking it personally, even though, like you lot, I have no idea what's going on. It looks really cool though.
