4th Line gave a top performance at the six chair challenge in the X Factor in Malta. All the judges gave the girls a standing ovation. Alexandra Alden has the groups category and had no hesitation in giving 4th Line a place on the seats and now the girls will go to the judges houses phase.

4th Line are Milena, Anthea, Miriana and Nicole. The girls performed Free Your Mind by En Vogue. The girls voices blended together perfectly with a lot of soul.

ESC Covers will bring you more about the X Factor Malta soon. The winner of X Factor will represent Malta at the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest.

A brand new Christmas song has been launched in Malta by various singers entitled Kull m’hemm Bżonn. It is an upbeat song with a seasonal message composed by Dario Bezzina and Cliff Casha.

The talented singers taking part are Eliana Gomez Blanco, Sebastian Calleja, Nicole Hammett, Timea Farr, Martina Fenech and Bradley Debono. They all do a wonderful job.

ESC Covers are familiar with some of the singers above such as Nicole, who has an amazing voice and can adapt to opera, pop and rock styles so easily. Eliana took part in the Malta Junior Eurovision national selection this year and has great jazz and soulful voice. Bradley, we know from some great performances. Sebastian has taken part in several festivals and success in competitions. We look forward to hearing more about Timea and Martina.

Check out the video launch of Kull m’hemm Bżonn below and also a performance on the NET TV Marathon 2018.
