Malta in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Maltese "Song For Europe" National Final was held on February 19th, 2005 at the Mediterranean Conference Centre in Valletta. The hosts of the event were Clare Aguis, John Bundy, and Moira Delia. 22 song competed and the winner was chosen by televoting. There seemed to be a problem calculating the final results since only two of the three phone operators turned over their results. The third phone company eventually revealed that they had no results and a winner was declared. Chiara was chosen to represent Malta with the song "Angel". 2001 representative Fabrizio Faniello was also present among the competitors.
Chiara Siracusa debuted as an artist in 1998 when she performed "The One That I Love" at the ‘Malta Song for Europe’ contest. With her performance the Maltese selected her to represent the nation in the Eurovision Song Contest 1998 in Birmingham. The artist ‘Chiara’ was born. Chiara delivered an amazing performance on the Eurovision stage, which led to a credible 3rd place. In 1998 she won the ‘Best Female Artist’ at the 1998 Malta Music Awards and released three albums on the local market. Chiara developed her song-writing skills and is the lyricist and composer of "Angel".
