Review: Eurovision 2015: Malta: Danica Muscat: Close Your Eyes

For the third time, Danica Muscat is participating in the national Eurovision semi-final for Malta, although it wasn't initially her intention to do so. It is the song Close Your Eyes, written by Elton Zarb and Emil Calleja Bayliss which has persuaded her to return.

If you have heard Danica before, then you know that she has a strong voice. This emotional ballad is therefore a perfect fit. 

It tells of the joys of motherhood and the role of a mother in her child's life. It's full of wonderful sentiments, but whether the laid-back melody will click with the jury and voters remains to be seen.

It's one of those songs that will depend heavily on the staging, as well as the performance on the night. My personal feeling is that it could easily become lost and forgotten among so many candidates and is therefore unlikely to figure in the national final on November 22.

What do you think?


Danica Muscat performs in 14th position out of the 20 competitors in the semi-final on November 21.
