PBS has just held the final of MJESC, the Maltese national selection for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. After a public and jury voting, Gaia Gambuzza has got the ticket to Yerevan and will perform the song ‘Diamonds in the Skies’ on 11th December.
Following an open call for songs and artists, PBS shortlisted 16 candidates for the live final:
- Emma Kate Formosa – “Bounce”
- Gaia Gambuzza – “Diamonds in the Skies”
- Shanzay Mangion – “Heartbeat”
- Kaylyn Mallia – “Here I Am”

The winner has been selected by a combination of votes from the public (25%) and a professional jury panel (75%). The show, recorded at PBS studios, didn’t feature a live audience. All finalists delivered their songs live in front of the jury panel members. The public at home had the chance to vote for their favourite acts via SMS.
The top 3 was as follows:
- Gaia Gambuzza – “Diamonds in the Skies”
- Andrea Camilleri – “Spark”
- Emma Kate Formosa – “Bounce”
