The 2020 Malta Junior Eurovision Song Contest national selection finalists were revealed yesterday (as ESC Covers reported). There were 12 finalists announced and a couple of familiar faces are in contention.
Gianluca Cilia, who charmed the audiences and tv viewing public, represented Malta in 2017 in Tbilisi, Georgia with the catchy Dawra tond. This time Gianluca is involved in a duet with Yulan Law. It will be interesting to see if Gianluca can make it to Junior Eurovision again, as no male has ever done this before.
Another act returning to the Malta Junior Eurovision final is the talented Leah Cauchi. She sang the much rated Maltese language song, Illejla, in the national selection in 2019. Although Leah did not win the song achieved much acclaim and she filmed an official music video for the track.
All the acts will perform their songs later this month and the eventual winner will be decided by an expert jury and the public vote. The 12 acts are –
ESC Covers wishes all the acts lots of luck.
