Eurovision fever is back, and sooner than expected! With the Junior Eurovision coming to a close less than a week ago, last night saw the Marsa shipbuilding and its new facelift (and rhinoplasty and boob-job) once again hosting a night of Eurovision splendor.

From the 14 finalists, one lucky winner will be chosen to represent Malta in the 60th annual Eurovision Song Contest. This year it will be held in Vienna, after the historic victory of bearded bond-girl Conchita Wurst with the song “Rise like a Phoenix”. Austria’s controversial diva will also be making a special guest appearance on tonight’s show.

Tonight’s performers will get the chance to live a dream and sing on a huge stage to an audience of tens of thousands, but why let them have all the fun? For everyone watching at home, tonight’s final will have live commentary by “The Eurovision Whisperer” Chucky, right here on the MaltaToday website.
