Morena has just left the Continental Hotel with her sister and vocal coach, Georgina, for the Beogradska Arena where she has one final run-through before tonight's big test.

Her make-up and hair, in the hands of Diane Nikolic and Joseph (Toni & Guy) respectively, has been done in the comfort of her room, and she will then change into her outfit backstage before the show kicks off at 3 p.m.

The Eurovision's second semi-final kicks off at 9 p.m. tonight and Morena faces tough competition. The second semi-final sees some hot favourites such as Sweden and Ukraine competing, so it has yet to be seen whether Malta will qualify for Saturday's final.

The poll underway at the press centre has seen Malta slip one position to ninth place, while bookmakers are still not placing Morena among the top 10. The media poll managed to predict nine out of the 10 competing countries from Tuesday's semi-final, so this could augur well for Morena.
