Morena sizzled on stage as she emerged for her second rehearsal wearing the outfit she plans to wear on the night - a black corset studded with mirrored squares, her purposely designed knee-length boots covered with mosaic-shaped mirrors and a matching bracelet.

The outfit of the four Swedish dancers was made to match - black shirts and matching pants, with a waistcoat and mirrored holsters and silver ties, while backing vocalist Annabelle Debono wore just black.

Morena's performance was extremely energetic from the second she hit the stage, and her energy never dipped, despite repeating her performance some four times during her half-hour slot.

From looking like a sex bomb on stage, she showed up for the press conference portraying a girl-next-door image, and holding a small teddy bear - wearing a top with the Maltese flag sewn on - which former Eurovision contestant Miriam Christine Borg gave her to wish her luck.

While her performance rocked, the press conference, held at 1.30 p.m. today, failed to spark a debate. When asked what strategy was adopted to avoid the dismal standings achieved these last two years, Morena was evasive, and nobody from the Maltasong delegation volunteered a reply.

"Let's live the dream, have fun and let's make this a party," was Morena's reply.

The delegation also failed to pounce on the opportunity of telling the media how Morena had turned down two lucrative sponsorship deals from vodka companies, when a Russian journalist joked he's from the "Russian Vodka Delegation".

However, together with her team, Morena gave a lovely a capella version of her song Vodka, penned by Gerard James Borg and composed by Philip Vella.

After a hectic morning, Morena is now resting before the official welcome party at the Palata Srbije tonight.
