Other predictions
Malta’s representative this year is the folk pop band Firelight. It is led by Richard Edward Micallef, a singer and composer. The group will perform its song “Coming Home” first during its semi-final night.
Regardless of the predictions of the land-based and online sportsbooks in the UK, Oiko Times, famous Eurovision blog, forecasted that Malta’s band won’t be so lucky to reach the final on Saturday.
Still, there is something positive for the participants from Malta, which comes from the Good Evening Europe blog. It gave the highest score of 12 points to Micallef and proclaimed him the “hottest Eurovision 2014 man.”
