10:30 CEST: Rehearsal 1: 🇲🇹 Malta - Miriana Conte – SERVING

Are we ready for Malta’s Miriana Conte to serve sass, attitude, and maybe a red exercise ball or six?

So, first things first. Miriana Conte is a 24-year-old Maltese singer known for her electrifying performances and a fearless approach to music. She first attempted to represent Malta at Eurovision in 2017, aged just 16. Eight years later, she’s here in Basel, having served her unique brand of queen energy at all the pre-parties along the way.

So, let’s talk staging. Whilst The Sound of Musicremains an inspiration (we’re still do-re-mi-fa-s-s-serving, after all), the visual storytelling we saw at MESC has mostly gone. Firstly there’s a big prop – a set of huge sparkly red lips holding a spinning disco ball – the whole structure is probably three metres high, and sits in the centre of the stage.

It turns at the start, and Miriana is inside, wearing a bright yellow dress with a huge skirt made from tiered netting with black sleeves. She’s lifted out of the disco ball and the dress, to reveal a catsuit that’s the same style as the one we saw at MESC, but now black and red and VERY sparkly. Her hair is now also bright red, by the way – the whole thing feels like a transition from poisonous flower to queen of hearts.

The dance routine is very similar to MESC, but her four dancers have swapped the Von Trapp outfits for red fishnets, strappy black underwear and red fur jackets. The final chorus plays out on the frame stage, where the red gym balls appear for a bouncy finish. The graphics wall transitions between graphic art exploding flowers and bouncing leopard visuals, dancing legs and words from the song, finishing with DIVA NOT DOWN in huge letters . The whole thing is very Miriana – bold, unapologetic, and a lot of fun. What a way to start the day!

Also 🔥PYRO UPDATE: lots of smoke jets in the chorus, and a big finish.

DIVA NOT DOWN! :disco:
