Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2024 (MESC) will serve as the country’s national selection format for the 68th Eurovision Song Contest.

Following four semi-finals that took place in November, twelve songs are now competing for the Maltsese representation in Malmö. The final and most important phase of MESC 2024 is undoubtedly the Grand Final, which will be quite different to what we have seen in the past from Malta and on February 3rd we will know the successors of The Busker.

MESC 2024 – The final stage

The last phase of MESC 2024 will commence on January 29 and will finish on February 3rd. This week will be busy for the Maltese preselection as:

  • Between January 29 and January 31 and following the news bulletin, three episodes will air, featuring interviews with the 12 MESC 2024 finalists. During these programmes, the public will get to know the singers better, learn interesting facts about them, and see how they are preparing for the final night. Aside from their interpretation of the song, their preparations include work on a music video for their specific song.
  • On February 1st the music videos of the twelve finalists will be aired with each singer presenting the interpretation of their song through the music video. It is worth mentioning that the music videos prepared by the artists were financially backed from PBS.
  • On February 3rd, the final night of MESC 2024 will be broadcasted, where we will see all the finalists performing their songs in a PBS studio. Following their performances, a special committee along with the public vote will decide the representative of the Maltese archipelago.

Moreover, this year apart from prizes for the second and third placings, there will also be prizes for participants with the best music video as well as for the best new talent.

The finalists of MESC 2024

  1. Miriana Conte – “Venom”
  2. Sarah Bonnici – “Loop”
  3. Greta Tude – “Topic (Bla Bla)”
  4. Janvil – “MAN”
  5. Haley Azzopardi – “Tell Me That It’s Over”
  6. Ryan Hili – “Karma”
  7. Erba – “Sirena”
  8. Nathan – “Ghost”
  9. Denise – “Mara”
  10. Matt Blxck – “Banana”
  11. Gail – “Wild Card”
  12. Lisa Gauci – “Breathe”

The winners of MESC 2023 and hence the Maltese representatives at Liverpool were The Busker with their song “Dance(Our Own Party)“, who did not manage to win a ticket for the Grand Final.

Happy New Year everyone! The first article for 2024 could be no other but the results of the #ESC250 voting by Songfestival.be in collaboration and as presented via EFR12 Radio.

For the sixteenth year in a row, Songfestival.be conducted during November a poll, asking Eurofans to vote for their ten favorite Eurovision entries of all time. 2023, also, marks the first year that the results are announced via EFR12 Radio. Starting at 11:30 CET and for twelve hours straight, we had the chance to listen to what the Eurovision community considers as the all-time classics of the contest.

Hence, Käärijä is the big winner of this year’s #ESC250 with his song “Cha Cha Cha“. Käärijä represented Finland in Eurovision 2023, winning the public voting with a huge margin and finishing second overall. It looks like that fans loved Käärijä and their love has not faded away yet.
