Malta at the Eurovision tonight - comment on the timesofmalta.com live blog as you watch

Follow all the action on timesofmalta.com tonight as Malta’s Eurovision hopeful Gianluca Bezzina sings his catchy song Tomorrow for a place in Saturday’s Eurovision final. Flamboyant thespian Alan Montanaro and sometimes serious journalist Patrick Cooke will be blogging all the action live from 8.45pm. Well-known for his show-stealing panto dame performances, Alan’s famous bawdy one-liners and acerbic eye for absurdity will be sure to liven up even the most obscure acts from the dark corners of the continent. Patrick, meanwhile, claims his many late-night karaoke performances over the years have given him a unique perspective on what it takes to put on a barnstorming show when everyone is worried you will fail... or pass out. Will Gianluca do the nation proud? Will Alan be upstaged by the glamorous contestants? Will Patrick know his Armenias from his Albanias? Log on to timesofmalta.com at 8.45pm to find out. And send your comments as you watch. Video above shows Gianluca Bezzina in his dress rehearsal.
