Federica Falzon has been starring in a unique opera production called ‘Aħna Refuġjati’ (We are refugees). It is a modern opera and was staged in Valletta, Malta.
The opera is about refugees having to leave Syria due to the civil war and facing the reality of racism and separation from families, etc.
It has been a big challenge for Federica and the cast and I am sure she gave a magnificent and dramatic performance.
Federica represented Malta at the 2014 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with Diamonds.
Check out Federica’s music videos of Dancing My Own and her Junior Eurovision song, Diamonds, below.

The brand new season of the X Factor launched yesterday in the United Kingdom. Eagle eyed viewers may have spotted Gaia Cauchi briefly in one of the camera shots.
I wonder what we can expect. Would Gaia have auditioned? If so, how would she do? Will she impress the judges including newcomers Robbie Williams, Ayda Field (Robbie’s wife), Louis Tomlinson (from One Direction) and of course Simon Cowell?
It will be interesting to see what happens over the coming weeks.
We at ESC Covers will certainly be monitoring the X Factor tv show to see if Gaia will be featured and, hopefully, impress the judges.
Gaia won the 2013 Junior Eurovision Song Contest for Malta in 2013 with The Start. Let us hope whatever she is doing now it is The Start of an incredible journey for her.
Check out the clip below where you can see Gaia very briefly.
