Before Eurovision
Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2014
Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2014 was the national final format developed by PBS to select the Maltese entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2014. The competition consisted of a semi-final and final held on 7 and 8 February 2014, respectively, at the Malta Fairs & Conventions Centre in the nation's capital city of Valletta.[1] Both shows were hosted by television presenter Moira Delia, 2002 Maltese Eurovision entrant Ira Losco and 2013 Maltese Eurovision entrant Gianluca Bezzina and broadcast on Television Malta (TVM).[2]
Format
The competition consisted of twenty songs competing in the semi-final on 7 February 2014 where the top fourteen entries qualified to compete in the final on 8 February 2014. Five judges evaluated the songs during the shows and each judge had an equal stake in the final result. The sixth set of votes were the results of the public televote, which had a weighting equal to the votes of a single judge. Ties in the final results were broken based on the entry which received the higher score from the judges.[3]
Competing entries
Artists and composers were able to submit their entries between 24 September and 31 October 2013. The entry fee for each submission was €150. Songwriters from any nationality were able to submit songs as long as the artist were Maltese or possessed Maltese citizenship. 2013 national final winner Gianluca Bezzina was unable to compete due to a rule that prevented the previous winner from competing in the following competition.[4] 210 entries were received by the broadcaster.[5] On 19 November 2013, PBS announced a shortlist of 70 entries that had progressed through the selection process.[6] The twenty songs selected to compete in the semi-final were announced on the TVM programme Xarabank on 29 November 2013. In mid-December 2013, the participants filmed promotional videos for their entries which were released to present the competing songs to the public.[1]
Among the artists selected were former Maltese Eurovision entrants Miriam Christine who represented Malta in 1996 and Fabrizio Faniello who represented Malta in 2001 and 2006. Sophie DeBattista represented Malta in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2006 and Daniel Testa represented Malta in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2008. Among the songwriters, Paul Giordimaina represented Malta in 1991 and together with Fleur Balzan they co-wrote the 2011 Maltese entry, Glen Vella represented Malta in 2011, Paul Abela composed the 1991, 1996 and 2001Maltese entries, Gerard James Borg and Philip Vella co-wrote the 2000, 2002, 2004, 2007 and 2008 Maltese entries, Boris Cezek co-wrote the 2013 Maltese entry, Stephen Rudden represented the United Kingdom as part of the group Love City Groove in 1995 and Johan Bejerholm co-wrote Azerbaijan's 2009 entry.
