Malta’s Aidan Takes on Eurovision Semi-Final Tonight

In the heart of Paceville, the neon lights of Malta’s vibrant nightlife district flicker, but tonight, all eyes are not on the usual haunts. Instead, they’re turned towards Rotterdam, where Malta’s very own Aidan is set to take the Eurovision stage in the first semi-final. The question on every local’s lips? Will our homegrown talent light up the contest and secure a spot in the grand final?

From Malta’s Got Talent to Eurovision

Aidan, a 20-year-old singer-songwriter from Birkirkara, has come a long way since his breakthrough on Malta’s Got Talent in 2016. His powerful voice and emotive performances have since captured the hearts of Maltese audiences and beyond. Tonight, he’s set to showcase his talent on the biggest stage of them all, with his original song ‘Je Me Casse’.

Malta’s Hopes Rest on Aidan’s Shoulders

Malta has a chequered history in Eurovision, with our best result being 2nd place in 2005 with Chiara’s ‘Angel’. This year, hopes are high that Aidan can replicate or even better that success. His song, a blend of pop and rock with a touch of Maltese, has been receiving positive feedback from fans and experts alike. If he qualifies, he’ll join an illustrious list of Maltese finalists, including Ira Losco, Destiny, and last year’s representative, Destiny Chukunyere.

Back in Malta, the excitement is palpable. From the streets of Valletta to the coastal towns, fans are gearing up to watch Aidan’s performance, with many planning to gather at local hotspots like Gianpula’s or Café del Mar to cheer him on.

How to Watch and Support Aidan

Tune in to TVM or watch online via the official Eurovision YouTube channel to catch Aidan’s performance. The first semi-final starts at 9 pm CET, with Aidan performing 11th.

Let’s show Aidan our support, whether by tuning in, sharing his performance on social media, or simply cheering him on from our balconies.
