EUROVISION 2018 PREVIEW

36.

MALTA

TABOO

Christabelle

Malta first participated at Eurovision in 1971 and has yet to taste victory. The nation has come close: finishing 2nd in 2002 and 2005. This year, Christabelle will perform "Taboo" which is a good song, but lacks any memorable impact. With a strong delivery, the song could make it to the Grand Final from the Second Semi.

41 SERBIA

42 HUNGARY
