Several local artists have already confirmed that they can't wait to submit their candidacy, among them Aldo Busuttil, Isabelle Zammit, Petra Zammit, Amber, Daniel Muscat, Joseph Refalo, Claudia Faniello, Francesca Zarb as well as former two time Eurovision Song Contest representative Fabrizio Faniello.

News Round-up of the day. Strictly Come Dancing star himself calls rumours very premature.

He is camp like Eurovision, he can sing and apparently he can dance too. Enough reason for the Daily Satr to start spreading the news that he might be representing the United Kingdom next year. Russel (60) is a big hit among the viewers of Strictly Come Dancing.

Italy has chosen this singer, but the song may change.

Last night, Italy wrapped up it's own song contest, the San Remo Festival. And chose relatively new artist Nina Zilli to represent the country in Eurovision.

Being Italy though, her win isn't exactly straightforward. The song she performed at San Remo, "Per Sempre", may or may not be the song that Italy sends to Eurovision. We here at 12points.tv think that it's a classy song regardless, although someone should have a quiet chat with Nina's hair stylist.
