Postcard: It's filmed in Matera. Looks pretty. Apparently it's located in a district called Sassi di Matera. Perfect drag name?
(Turns out this postcard was actually the Irish one)
Emma starts off sitting by a grand piano on a podium. Quite quickly she stops playing the piano and walks up on top of the piano. The dress is silvery and beige, and it looks really good on her.
In the 2nd chorus she leaves the podium and walks on to the satellite stage where she is joined by four dancers dressed in white.
In the last run-through we also get a lot of smoke on the floor.
Vocals: I think Emma might have held back a bit and didn't give it her all. Which makes sense for a rehearsal. Mostly she was ok, apart from some messed up notes at the end. She did get better with each run-through though. The third one was definitely her best one.
Is it live: Lol, no. Well, Emma obviously is. But the main thing that stands out in this song is the big gospely choir that's featured from start to finish. Which is all pre-recorded. And it looks a bit silly when we hear lots of voices but there's nobody there. Did the Maltese delegation watch Ana Soklic and thought "We can take this one step further!"?
Colours: A lot of gold, orange and warm beigy tones.
What's new: In the bridge she adds a "Come on Turin put your hands up!", and the ending has an extra vocal ad lib. Aside from that she sings this the same way as in the studio version.
Will it qualify: If she nails the vocals during the jury final I think she will. But, if she sings it the way she did during some of these rehearsals, Malta might struggle.
