– On Sunday 12 January, the live shows of X Factor Malta 2020 will begin. Over the following weeks, the 12 contestants will deliver performances and face eliminations, all leading up to the grand final on 8 February where the winner will be decided. But who should win?
– The champion of X Factor Malta will also be Malta’s act for Eurovision 2020. Their song will be internally selected at a later date. Twelve strong acts have made it through the auditions, Bootcamp and Judges Houses round, meaning competition in the live shows will be tough.

Bloodline

Celine
– Celine’s unusual style made her a surprise pick for the live shows, but over the weeks she’s demonstrated the depths of her talent. Celine has a gruff but expressive voice with rich vibrato.

Dav. Jr
– Dav. Jr is a singer-songwriter who is as much at ease performing his own songs as he is singing covers. Dav can range from delicate to loud vocals and brings charisma to his performances.

Destiny
– Malta’s Junior Eurovision champion is a stand-out performer but she won’t get an easy ride. The judges have said Destiny will have to work hard and show there’s more to her than the soul classics she has previously favoured.

Ed Abdilla

Kyle Cutajar
– After being eliminated in the Judges Houses round last year, Kyle is back for another shot. His loud, expressive vocals have a musical theatre quality to them.

Paul Anthony
