PBS has just published the live performances of all 12 Maltese finalists for the public to vote. The videos, which have been premiered on TV today, were recorded a few days ago when an expert panel had the chance to judge the entries live.
Malta will choose its 2020 entry following the last year’s selection process. This time, however, candidates were able to send an original song, so the full entry is expected to be chosen at once. From all the submissions received, PBS shortlisted the following songs for the final:
- Leah Cauchi – Anġli
- Leah Mifsud – Anywhere
- Isaac Tom – Beside Me
- Mariah Cefai – Change the Silence
- Chanel Monseigneur – Chasing Sunsets
- Yulan Law & Gianluca Cilia – Deck of Cards
- Kaya Gouder Curmi – Made of Stars
- Emma Cutajar – Modern-Day Cinderella
- Anneka Xerri – Moving
- Zaira Mifsud & Eksenia Sammut – Only Live Once
- Michela Caruana – Replay
- Mychael Bartolo Chircop – The Child From Inside
More information about the candidates, including the voting number and biography, can be found on the official website of PBS.
The winner, who will be selected by the combination of votes of a 3-person jury panel, made up of Eliana Gomez Blanco (JESC 2019), Michela Pace (Eurovision 2019) and Dominic Cini (singer and composer), and the televoting, will go on to represent Malta on 29th November. The public voting will be open for a week, from today until Saturday 26 at 18.15 CET. The announcement of the 2020 Maltese entry will take place by the end of this month, after the end of the public voting.
