The music videos of the Malta Eurovision Song Contest’s 12 finalists have been released.
Unlike previous years, the final - to be held on Saturday - will not be a live performance but a live-on-tape performance that will be streamed to audiences.
Many of the artists said they were “surprised” and “heartbroken” by the news that they would not be performing in front of cheering fans and an eager audience.
Instead, they will perform at the TVM studios, in Guardamangia. After all performances are aired, televoting and a jury will decide the winner.
The public can meanwhile vote for their favourite music video, with the televoting lines open till Friday evening.
The 12 finalists will perform songs from past editions of the Eurovision on Friday evening.
The winner of the best music video will be announced during the finale on Saturday.
The 12 finalists are the following:
Miriana Conte – Venom
Sarah Bonnici – Loop
Greta Tude – Topic (Bla Bla)
Janvil – Man
Haley Azzopardi – Tell Me That It’s Over
Ryan Hili – Karma
Erba’ – Sirena
