It’s 19:00hrs local time on Thursday evening – and I’ve had an awesome day – I met Chiara, the Maltese singer, at the recording of a TV special that will be broadcast on Maltese TV tomorrow night.\u00a0 It was fun and also a little surreal.\u00a0 She was lovely – but more about that on the Boom Bang\u00a0 A Blog in the morning.\u00a0 We’re off for dinner now, and then off to the second-semi final.\u00a0 Remember, I’m on row five!<\/p>\n
Apologies to the local radio producers trying to track me down – I will return all calls\/e-mails after the semi-final tonight!<\/p>\n
Here are ‘team Moscow’s’ predications for tonight.\u00a0 Once again, exclusively brought to you by Boom Bang A Blog, and my good friend Jamie McLoughlin…<\/p>\n

It’s time for the Moscow BBAB jury to once again implement the napkin of death…. Moo, ha, ha, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!<\/p>\n

We did fairly well on Tuesday – but tonight is a weaker selection (in our opinion – we’ve sat through the rehearsals already!), and so our Midas touch my have to be retired!\u00a0 Karen, Toni and I are joined by guest judge, Brian Singleton. Here’s the scores on the doors for the semi-final tonight…<\/p>\n
