"The one that I love" - Chiara
The Maltese Final was held on 6th & 7th of February at the Mediterranean Conference Centre in Valletta, hosted by Angela Agius, John Demanuele, Denise Mintoff & Patrick Vella. The winner was chosen by an "expert" jury. On the first night, 22 songs were presented, 6 of which were in a special category for newcomers to the contest. Those 6 were reduced to 4 after the first night, so that on the second night there were 20 songs. The 2 songs that were eliminated after the first night were "Come back home" by Rita Pace & "That magic in your eyes" by Tonio Cuschieri.
