123 songs submitted for Malta Eurosong
A total of 123 compositions have been submitted for the Malta Eurosong 2010 festival. The winning song will represent Malta in next year’s Eurovision Song Contest to be held in Norway in May.
Phase one of the festival is being held on December 2, 3 and 4 when all entries will be sung ‘live’ in front of a jury. Thirty-six will make it to phase two. These will be sung ‘live’ in front of another jury on December 7.
The 36 songs in the second phase will also be presented to the public during the TVM programme Sfida between December 9 and January 13.
The jury’s vote will be supplemented by the public’s preference through televoting. Twenty finalists will be chosen.
The final night of the Malta Eurosong 2010 is being held on February 20. A jury vote will accompany the public vote at a ratio of one to one.

Year after year it's always the same people! For example in this country we don't have an idea that rock/heavy metal exsisits. For people who don't know we have quite a lot of rock/metal bands especially from the underground scene that are doing well even abroad. Why don't we try to experiment and give it a try. Remember Lordi from Finland??? They managed to win the eurovision! For people who did not know them before the eurovision they have been taking part in lots of rock festivals before eurovision & last year took part in one of the biggest festivals of metal held in Germany (Wacken). Rock / Metal is still alive altough for one reason or another people give the idea that it's not popular anymore. Just see the attendence in festivals in northern Europe (Norway,Finland,Sweden) and many other countries.Here in Malta its always the same faces

I am very sorry to see people like you Mr.Cassar who do not appreciate what is done for the music scene and should the contest be stopped many people will make sure that it returns. Too much fans around and I am one of them.
