From Valletta to Lisbon!
What an exciting show PBS gave us tonight! After some tension and shaking nerves, Malta has decided that Christabelle must represent them at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest with the song “Taboo”. The show took place live from Ta’Qali’s Malta Fairs and Convention Centre and was presented by Colin Fitz.

The decision has been made 50% by the Maltese audience with their calls and the remaining 50% decided by a music expert panel made up by international and national members. The third and second places have been awarded to Brooke and Richard Edwards & Joe, respectively.
Fans could also see a few familiar faces who already tried to gain the hearts of the audience in previous years such as Richard Edwards, Christabelle, Brooke, Mirana Conte, Rhiannon or Jasmine Abela among others.
