The performance was described as her best yet and now it is up to the people and jury to vote for the song. Tonight during the 55th edition, 10 out of 17 songs will be making it to the final to be held next Saturday.

Incidentally yesterday marked the Eurovision's birthday as the first edition was held on 24 May 1956.

Also a group of other Maltese friends and fans arrived last night and this morning waited for Thea Garrett at the reception lobby to wish her all the best of luck before she took off to the arena for her first rehearsals.
