Georgia have internally selected once again their act to sing at the 2015 Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Bulgaria. Liza, Elen, Tako and Data will form the group that will take to the stage in Sofia.
Liza (12), Elen (10), Tako (11) and Data (11) will present the song in the coming weeks. Also a name for the band will be announced in due course.
Malta have held the selection to find the act that will represent them at the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest in Sofia, Bulgaria. 20 acts performed a song of their choice. The show was held at the Mediterranean Conference Centre in Valletta on Saturday 11 July.
The voting was a combination of expert jury and televoting. The winning act was Destiny Chukunyere who performed her soulful version of Think originally recorded by Aretha Franklin. The song for Junior Eurovision will be revealed by PBS later in the year.
