Good evening, il-lejl it-tajjeb, Bonswa hii,  a very warm welcome to The Times of Malta live blog bringing you the very best of the cheesy, kitsch-fest we all love to hate, the Maltasong for Europe 2013.

My name is Waylon Johnston and together with Toni Attard we will be accompanying you to find out who will be representing us in the land of reindeer, the home of ABBA and the best looking people in the world: Sweden.

Tonight 16 singers will be fighting it out for a coveted place in PBS history and for a Xarabank show all about them and their corny stories.

I have to say Toni you are looking absolutely fabulous this evening is it a Carina Camilleri or a Pete Carbonara you are wearing this evening?
