Malta kicks off tonight with the first of three preliminary rounds in which a total of 40 songs will participate. A semifinal will follow later and on Saturday 11 February we will know who will represent Malta in the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest. In the first show we see Fabrizio Faniello, among others. He came 9th in Copenhagen in 2001 with ‘Another Summer Night’ and five years later in Athens he had to settle for a last place with ‘I Do’.
