Malta – The representative for Malta in Rotterdam will again be chosen via the country’s XFactor tv show, which airs tonight from Gozo. A familiar Eurovision face, and one of the hot favourites to win, auditions tonight…
Destiny Chukunyere, winner of Junior Eurovision 4 years ago, has confirmed on Instagram that she is taking part and her audition will be shown tonight.
As well as winning JESC in 2015, Destiny made it to the semi-finals of Britains Got Talent, and performed as a backing singer with Michela Pace earlier this year in Israel.
The show airs at 20.50 Maltese time (also 20.50 CET), on Television Malta.
The Eurovision Times 
we all knew she’d represent Malta in esc; hope they give her a really credible song
That is the main thing. She really has the potential.
Aren’t these kind of shows meant for unknowns? Do the judges have to pretend they don’t know the competing singers?
They usually ignore the fact.
No mention when Slavko, Saara or even our own Brendan Murray took part after Eurovision.
That’s absurd. If they want to send Desitiny, just pick her internally.
Destiny is a fine singer but then vocals have rarely been Malta’s problem. Song quality and presentation are.
Agreed 100%
Agree songs are usually so generic you forget them while they play and the presentation tends to be overly busy in a way that’s bizarrely rarely connected to the song.
Off-topic, the Eurovision Grand Final is officially the most watched programme in Greece of the 2018-2019 TV season, hitting 50.9% share and 17.8% rating. This transates to 1,847,000 viewers:
That’s why i’m dumbfounded by how(especially under the previous administration) they did everything to ruin it as a tv-product. Not that everyone else treated it as the gold mine that it is. At some point, watching some discussions i thought eurovision is what caused the financial crisis.
We all know she will be Maltese representative one Day! :P
LOL :D
GOOO eurotrash … LOL
New single-“Filithy Boy” :
they truly know how to speak to my heart!
With this video, i suppose they speak not only to your heart :P
Dates for FiK: 19,20 & the final on December 22.
Alas, no Christmas gift here – no spicy Bushpepa :-(.
Another general election in the UK. I don’t know whether I should laugh or cry …
Whenever I want a break from the shitstorm that is the US I just take a look at the UK. Misery loves company. Can’t wait to see what happens over there.
Luckily, things are running calmly and smoothly in Germany atm.
We can’t wait to have it 2 weeks before Christmas in winter weather…. Arrrrgggghhhhh.
What do you expect the outcome to be? If it’s another hung parliament, we’ll see another extension request. Well, Mr Johnson seems to believe that he’ll win a majority. We’ll see.
Fun Aside: lots of controversy around Kenga Magjike this year as a lot of artists/stage producers have been accused of cooying/stealing stagings from ESC/NFs. A couple examples I’ll link here for interest’s sake:
MTV Hungary:
Instead of taking part in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2020, we will support the valuable productions created by the talents of Hungarian pop music directly.
Duna Television will support the winner of A Dal 2020 with numerous promotional opportunities and a chance to perform on the stages of the most prestigious Hungarian festivals.
Additionally, the winner will be rewarded with a special promotion on Petőfi Radio and will receive support for the development of their music career.

as expected
Looking inwards instead of outwards. Typical right wing populist navel gazing … or navel adoring? OMG my navel is soooooooooooooooooo beautiful!!! *faints*
There’s a verb in Greek for this: ομφαλοσκοπώ = (to) navelwatch :)
That is a lovely verb. :) <3
How do you say it in German? :)
We only have the noun: die Nabelschau. But then you can say: “Er betreibt Nabelschau.”
Btw, I almost feel sorry for him. It’s amazing how has he ended up :(

The Morissey story is a very sad saga indeed. :(
Am I the only one annoyed by this? They don’t qualify once and now they back out and focus on only themselves. Just seems kinda babyish. Sure there could be other factors like viewership but A Dal had horrific viewership last year and clearly that didn’t get canceled.
Happy National Cats day:
all cat moods in one vid :p
Hungary may be out, but it seems that Bulgaria is returning (not sure that this is the most reliable source)
