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 –
- Leah Cauchi – Anġli (Angels)
- Leah Mifsud – Anywhere
- Isaac Tom – Beside Me
- Mariah Cefai – Change The Silence
- Chanel Monseigneur – Chasing Sunsets
- Yulan Law and Gianluca Cilia – Deck Of Cards
- Kaya Gouder Curmi – Made Of Stars
- Emma Cutajar – Modern Day Cinderella
- Anneka Xerri – Moving
- Zaira Mifsud and Eksenia Sammut – Only Live Once
- Michela Caruana – Replay
- Mychael Bartolo Chircop – The Child From Inside
ESC Covers wishes all the acts lots of luck.

Of course I met GINALUCA in Tbilisi when he represented Malta that year at Junior Eurovision.
