Malta 2016 – Full result from their national selection

As Ira Losco wins the chance to represent Malta at the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 in Stockholm in May, lets round up the show and find out where all the other contestants placed. If you had a different favourite, how close did they come and who was responsible for writing all the songs. 

After the event, it is probably no surprise that Ira Losco will be appearing at her second Eurovision Song Contest. She has been wanted by the Maltese, ever since she placed second in 2002 in Tallin, Estonia with 7th Wonder. Malta finally gets its wish but spare a thought for those other performers and songwriters who also would have loved the chance to fly to Stockholm.

In a spectacular final dominated by female dance acts, a deeper dive into the details of each song reveals that a lot of the songs were written by the same people, which would explain some of the similarities. Below is the table of votes. While the tele-voters gave Ira the top marks; after the second juror’s votes she had slipped to second place, with Brooke and Golden taking the lead.

However the final three jurors, all gave the top score to Ira, giving her a clear ten point win.
