Wow thank you for the points USA

MALTA Malta's entry for this year's contest is a song in Maltese by Miriam Christine delivering a message of hope and courage especially during these challenging times. Hope you enjoy it. PS: If you enjoyed the scenery in this music video, you should consider planning a holiday to Malta and Gozo 'Kuraġġ' - by Miriam Christine Lyrics in Maltese Kull meta tħoss it-tama f’ħajtek qiegħda tnin Meta l-ħolma ttir Dalma tara biss fuq il-ġejjien Kull meta taħseb li l-ħajja hija mrar Hemm fil-fond tal-qalb Tmut bil-mod il-mod ix-xrara nar Kuraġġ ħabib Imħabba hemm għalik Hemm jum sabiħ Li qiegħed jistenniek Kuraġġ ħabib Trid tnissel ġewwa fik Biex meta jkun il-waqt It-triq issib Qatt taqta’ qalbek meta kbar huma s-sisien Jgħaddu dawn il-jiem Ftakar li int biss sid id-destin Kuraġġ ħabib… Hemm jum, hemm jum sabiħ,…. Qatt taqta’ qalbek meta kbar huma s-sisien Li qed, qed jistenniek,…. Jgħaddu dawn il-jiem, ftakar li int biss sid id-destin Kuraġġ ħabib… Hemm jum, hemm jum sabiħ, li qed, qed jistenniek..... La la la la la la la la….. Lyrics in English COURAGE Whenever you feel all hope is dying out When a dream is gone Darkness looms over the future Whenever you think that life brings only sorrow Deep down in your heart The fire slowly dies Courage, my friend You are loved There’s a beautiful day Waiting right there for you Courage, my friend You have to find deep inside your heart So when the time is right You'll find your way Never give up when the mountain seems insurmountable These dark days will pass too Remember that only you can realise your fate My friend, have courage….. There’s a beautiful day….. Never give up when the mountain seems insurmountable It’s waiting there for you…. These days will pass too… Only you can realise your fate My friend, have courage….. There’s a beautiful day… It’s waiting there for you… La la la la la la la la…..

Malta confirming its participation in this contest

In Malta the 2 main song contests that usually take place during summer were held just the same but just on TV and without an audience. During the March - May period there were singers who united together virtually to record songs with a message of hope to the general public. At the moment, no albums that were released during summer are coming to mind. With regards to the our annual contest I would vote for the B option, both for the first and second question.

Congrats to Serbia for their deservedly win and for their consistent almost getting votes from all points throughout the contest. Congrats also to Canada for their silver medal. It's been a tight race for bronze medal and a real honour to snatch that final podium place. Thanks to all those who voted for the Maltese song and for your kind messages and support throughout the day. An appreciate to the organisers of this contest. A really good job for keeping the level of this contest on a high level. Here's another chance to listen to the Maltese song. Let's get whistling along the song. Cheers

MALTA I'm sure you won't be reading this message but go straight to the points. But if you do, glad you read it. these are the votes of the Maltese jury: Germany 10 India 9 Indonesia 8 Netherlands 7 Lithuania 6 Italy 5 China 4 Spain 3 Ireland 2 Argentina 1

Wow, just when hopes were starting to fade away and all seems lost, up came 12 unexpected points from Mexico. Thanks a lot mrv86. Glad you like the song.

But what if point are also given to France?

With Malta voting at the end, I'm fearing that the Maltese votes will be dropping Malta out of the podium.

At least something is getting right at the moment. Trying to juggle between watching the match and keeping up with all these post. Should anyone like to watch the match, you can try to access it from this link https://www.tvm.com.mt/mt/tvmi/live/?st=tvm2 Forza Malta

Wow thank you Israel. What a start to this contest.

Wow thank you India for the 12 points. Glad you enjoyed listening to the song

So will this delegation be accommodated in this castle? I know it's Halloween, but hearing the Black Lady of Staverden in the middle of the night would be something.. you know.. unpleasant to put it mildly

MALTA BERLIN by AIRPORT IMPRESSIONS And finally, the moment you have all been waiting for. The question whether Malta will be participating in this year's TOISC is finally answered. The Maltese jury have selected the song 'Berlin' by Airport Impressions. Hope you enjoy this song. Prepare yourself to whistle through the song. Lyrics to the song below. There's a revelation callin' in a conversation fallin' somewhere, down town berlin! hang around behind the seashore paralysed in observation stone froze away from me stand, close (i think) when districts long rides ( i think) are twisted stay on my side in berlin! stand, close when districts long rides are twisted stay on my side in berlin! [instrumental] lost in worlds of people walkin' drawn a line to inter crystal cola ( i think) buried in the dream counting for the graphs and pictures and the metal places fixed in diamonds ( i think) time in the game ( i think) stand, close when districts long rides are twisted stay on my side in berlin! stand, close when districts long rides are twisted stay on my side in berlin! [guitar solo] stand, close when districts long rides are twisted stay on my side in berlin! stand, close when districts long rides or twisted stay on my side in berlin!

Will be posting the song soon

Wow appreciate this comment from a music professional. It's the same singer who sang 'Young Again'. This time he was a solo not part of a band

A potential medal for Malta. Thanks just the same
