nic3 nicole

Nicole Hammett is an outstanding young singer from Malta who can easily switch from pop to opera to rock and other genres of music. She again showed her versatility as an artist by performing at the Mrs Malta show by Ivan Gaffiero. Nicole performed two songs and also showed her dancing skills are pretty cool too.

Nicole performed a singing and dancing routine of End Of Time by Beyoncé. You can see in the video that she is really enjoying every minute of the performance. Then Nicole treated us to a version of No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) by Donna Summer & Barbra Streisand. Again she demonstrated powerful and clear vocals.

ESC Covers recently reported about Nicole recently recording a wonderful interpretation of La Forza, the Estonian 2018 Eurovision song by Elina Nechayeva, and she also filmed a magnificent video clip for the song filmed in Malta.

You can see Nicole perform End Of Time and No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) and also see again the wonderful clip of La Forza.
