Final preparations are underway for Saturday’s MaltaSong for
Europe 2007, which will see six semi-finalists going head to head for the first
place spot. The six semi-finalists were chosen from a total of 16 on Thursday
by a judges panel and televoting.
The choice of the song that will
take
Malta
to the qualifying rounds of the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 will be left in
the hands of the Maltese public through televoting. The participating tunes are
"Whenever" by Kevin Borg, "She Gives Me Wings" by Klinsmann
Coleiro, "As Long As You Know" by SCAR, "Vertigo" by Olivia
Lewis, "All About A Life" by Pamela and "Starlight" by
Trilogy.
Televoting lines will remain active
for 30 minutes after festival hosts J Anvill and Stephanie Spiteri declare them
open once all artists perform their respective songs.
The six songs which made it into the semi-final, as well as the
ten other participating entries can be heard on MaltaMedia Online Network's
Eurovision website, EurovisionMalta.com. Eurovision fans can appreciate the
songs and singers which could potentially be
Malta’s
salvation for the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest.
The audio clips can be heard here.

In turn, Romanian pop singer Mihai Traistariu has become the
first foreign celebrity to receive a star on
Malta’s Walk of Fame, reported
Mediafax. Mihai Traistariu participated in last year’s edition of the
Eurovision Song Festival with his hit “Tornero”.
Visiting
Malta
for the fourth time, Mihai received the star, placed beside those of
nine other local artists. Based on the model
of Hollywood Walk of Fame,
Malta
inaugurated two years ago its own Walk of Fame called
Bay Street.
