Malta was drawn number eight, which means that Julie and Ludwig will be the eighth to perform in the semi-final on 12 May.

Another important decision was taken at this meeting. It was previously announced that the televoting would be open for three nights and those who go through to the final would be announced on the night of the final itself, 15 May.

However, as a result of pressure from those competing in the semi-final, it has been decided to announce the finalists on the same night. Therefore, we will know on the Wednesday night whether or not Julie and Ludwig will be taking part in the final.
