Her mother is in choir, her father plays the French horn and her mother's cousins are conductors. She also has three brothers. She is a student at Bishop's Conservatory Girls School in Victoria. This year, she was studying sociology and biology and had intended to become a police detective.

Michela has been singing since 2013. She has been under the vocal coaching of Audrey Marie Bartolo. She started competing in singing festivals as from May 2014 and has been doing well, placing 1st to 3rd. Michela had audition for the Italian festival "Voci Dal Sud", on the final night she had managed to place in top 10. She had the opportunity to sing with one of best singers in Malta Tiziana Calleja. At the song contest organized ERSEB Productions, she was awarded both first and second place for her songs, getting the chance to join three other singers from Malta at the annual Baltic Voice Festival 2015, taking place in Lithuania.

Michela was taking part in Singers Challenge on night variety show of NET TV "The Entertainers" performing "Ex's & Oh's" and "Semplicita" with Chriss Gatt at the 2016 edition, "Home" and "Million Reasons" in 2017 edition, both times qualifying to the finals, and also took part in artist development program "Ultimate Artists" in Hertfordshire London, where she also worked with Rhianna's producer. She participated in the national Maltese Eurovision preselection in 2017 with the song "Cruise Control", not making it to the final. In 2018 Pace returned to Lithuania to take part at Muzikos Talentų Lyga 2018.

Pace had made it to the screens during the first episode of the inaugural season of the X Factor Malta, when she auditioned with "Total Eclipse of the Heart" (Bonnie Tyler) getting four "Yeses" and proceeding to the Bootcamp. There she got in a group singing "Somebody To Love" (Queen), and all group members got a "Yes" to proceed to the next stage. Her first solo song was "The Story" of Brandi Carlile. At the Six Chair Challenge performing Praying" (Kesha) she was easily given the "Chair" by Girls category mentor music manager Howard Keith Debono. At the Judges Houses, Debono assisted by British audio producer Mike Hedges has chosen Pace singing "Turning Tables" (Adele) to his live shows team of three artists.

At the Live Shows Michela performed "Lost On You" (LP), The Power of Love" (Frankie Goes to Hollywood), "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" (Aerosmith) and "Shallow" (Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper).

Michela began the final night just as she had started her X Factor journey, with a performance Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart". Maltese tenor Joseph Calleja joined her on stage for a "Perfect Symphony" (Ed Sheeran and Andrea Bocelli) duet between rounds, and she then paid homage to her Gozitan homeland in singing The Tramps' classic "Inti Djamant" in the second round. She channeled Lady Gaga for her final song, belting out "Shallow" with as much might as she could muster.

Michela Pace's clips have gone viral twice on X Factor Global page on Facebook, with her audition performance reaching 5 million views. Her voice, described by many, as memorable, powerful, with a breathtaking breaking point all wrapped in one. She loves a wide range of genres from pop, country to soul. Michela's victory means she will now sign a record deal with Sony Music Italy and go on to represent Malta at the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest, which will be held in Israel.

Throughout the show, Michela has been supported by institutions from her home island of Gozo. Leone Philharmonic Society, which serves as a platform for upcoming local artists, hosted a fan zone at its premises in Victoria, broadcasting the show live on Gozo's biggest screen. The Gozo Ministry paid for young Gozitans to travel to Malta and watch the show live, supporting them in their journey to become professional artists. Politicians of all hues have congratulated Pace for her X Factor victory, with the Labour and Nationalist parties both issuing statements to that effect and the council of the Gozo NGOs Association also applauding her on.

Michela describes herself as "an average teenager but when I start singing it’s as if my voice takes over my entire being. Aretha Franklin once said that you sing soul with your whole body. I know exactly what she means.". At the Eurovision Song Contest 2019, Michela, with her distinct and memorable voice, will be singing 'Chameleon'. It is an upbeat good feel song with a fresh current pop sound with a Reggaetone grove as well as Cuban undertones. The song has been written and produced by Symphonics who have already had a 2nd, 3rd and 4th place in Eurovision in the last 3 years. For Bulgarian songwriter Borislav Milanov, it will be second entry in the Eurovision 2019 after Azerbaijan. "Chameleon" was recorded in Vienna, Sweden and Malta , whilst the music video was shot all in Malta and produced by PBS. After dedicating the last days to finalize the chosen song and shoot the music video, in the coming weeks Michela will continue with her preparations to take the Eurovision stage on 16th May 2019.



For the Eurovision Michela will be teamed with Swedish choreographer Ambra Succi, who previously staged Loreen's Euphoria and the Ukrainian graphics production team Front Pictures.

Full terms and conditions are available here.



With preparations in full swing for both organisers and delegations for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, the Maltese Delegation just revealed that world-class choreographer and creative director Ambra Succi will be responsible for the on-stage look of this year’s Maltese representative, Michela together with multi-award winning studio Front Pictures, renowned for their video, interactive design, graphics and stage visuals.

The song, which has been recently released on all Digital portals, was written by Symphonix who are no strangers to success in Eurovision securing a Top 4 Position in the last 3 years. Malta has always taken Eurovision entries seriously but this year we want to try a different approach. For the first time ever an X Factor winner is going straight to Eurovision. 18-year-old Michela had her first room audition go viral with close to 6 million views on X Factor Global. The astonishing feedback towards her powerful and natural breaking voice was indeed justified, as she was eventually crowned Malta’s first X Factor winner.

There’s no doubt Michela can sing live and deliver fantastic vocals as seen on X Factor but no one expected such a song like ‘Chameleon’ which immediately placed Malta well in the betting odds and is currently the second most viewed video on you tube with lots of fans reacting very positively. This is a first for Malta not to showcase their act beforehand in the Eurovision pre-parties but with the staging team now revealed it’s definitely no co-incidence.

Ambra Succi’s creative skills have left the mark in various distinguished shows, including the Eurovision Song Contest itself, as Ambra was responsible for Loreen’s Euphoria winning performance way back in 2012. This performance is till this day seen as one of the best stage performances the Eurovision stage has ever seen. She also worked with Robin Stejnberg, Elnur Husseynov, Poli Genova and Jana Burceska. At the Eurovision Young Dancers 2017 she was member of the jury. Other notable projects that Ambra has worked on revolved around choreography for Green Day’s Musical, the main choreography on X Factor Sweden and choreography for multiple acts on the world-renowned Melodifestivalen (Renaida, Barbi Escobar MF 2018, Mimi Oh 2012, Danny Saucedo, Dilba 2011). Ambra stated that Michela is a natural artist she can’t wait to deliver an experience to the TV audience as well as the live arena.

Also working with Michela are dancers Albin Lindén (Renaida MF 2018), Nyat K Fredriksson, Amir Ashoor (Margaret, Vlad Reiser MF 2019, Renaida MF 2018), Amanda Arin.

Also crowned as past Eurovision winners, the stage graphics and visuals are in the hands of Front Pictures who have created and curated from conception to implementation stage, Jamala’s 1944 visual experience during the 2016 edition of The Eurovision Song Contest. A captivating show made sure that Ukraine would clinch the winner’s title that year. Recently, Front Pictures created amazing visuals for Pink’s hit song ‘Try’ at the Brit Awards 2019. Prior to that, they had a massive global impact with their innovative performance at America’s Got Talent showing us that their work is like no other. A representative for Front Pictures stated that this project is special for them as it brings the company back to the Eurovision Stage, and they intend to deliver one great experience, which will revolve around the uniqueness of the Maltese entry, Chameleon.

It seems Michela is going to have something very special to showcase in Tel Aviv, which will be seen for the first time in the 2nd Semi-Final.



10/03: Michela releases Chameleon

The wait for Malta’s Eurovision song will soon be over

Malta will release its Eurovision song in 48 hours. The song has been selected from over 300 songs submitted. After recording a number of demos, multiple focus groups and industry experts voted to get to the final song. Michela will be portraying another side of her versatile capabilities through this song.

Michela is the winner of the first edition of XFactor Malta, which took her through a challenging journey to make it to the final stage. A competition that attracted over 500 applicants, and managed to gather a record live audience for Malta of over 200,000 with an unprecedented 132,000 votes submitted which determined the winner. This is the first time that an X Factor winner will represent Malta at the Eurovision Song Contest.

Asked for his reaction, X Factor mentor Howard Keith said that as Michela has shown us throughout the competition, she does not shy away from challenges. Predictability is not part of her vocabulary and this song shows another side to Michela … get ready for the change.

X Factor Malta judge Ira Losco said "When I saw Michela sing this song for the first time, I was simply amazed at how much she is prepared to change and show us yet another side to her. Michela is an 360 degree artist. I simply love this song and her memorable voice".

Renowned local music producer Elton Zarb who was part of the focus groups to help PBS select the song described the song as "A breath of fresh air – a brilliant song".

The song will be released on Sunday at 18:00 CET.

At just 18 years of age, Michela Pace has found herself a household name, after winning the coveted X-Factor title and becoming Malta's Eurovision entry for 2019. "I still can't believe it! It just seems so surreal" Michela said. "I never thought I would actually win.".

Speaking exclusively to Malta Independent, Michela revealed the hardest challenge she faced during the gruelling audition process was leaving her family behind in Gozo. "For the first time, I found myself alone in Malta rehearsing without my strong family support. Along with the weekly live shows, I could only go back home one or two days a week. I consider myself a real family person, so it was a real challenge to overcome." Despite not having her home to go back to at the end of a long day, with the support of Howard Keith Debono and the team she was able to channel her emotion successfully into her performances. "Howard has taught me so much; it was incredibly inspiring having his support, and he encouraged me to start playing the piano again, something I used to do when I was younger. I really hope one day to write my own songs and make my own music".

Aside from Joseph Calleja, with whom she recently sang a duet on one of the live shows, she added: "When it comes to other local artists I would love to collaborate with, Ira Losco is one of them. I have always been such a huge fan of hers; I have loved her since I was a little girl."

Despite a whirlwind week of returning a horde of fans in Gozo, multiple television, radio and media appearances, Michela remains incredibly level headed and calm. "I know that I am just starting out in this industry; I have a lot to learn and anything could happen" she adds acutely aware of how fragile fame can be. "I was studying sociology and biology this year, and had intended to become a police detective -- well I still might!" she laughed.

Michela, who has three brothers in Victoria, Gozo describes her upbringing as very musical. "My mother is in a choir, my dad plays the French horn, and my mother's cousins are conductors." Her affinity with her family and Gozo remains clear throughout the interview. "Life in Gozo is very quiet, as you can imagine, I would just wake up, go to school, study, and sleep. I am still trying to adjust to a different way of life and getting my head around what is happening. I am excited about where this journey will take me, whether locally or abroad, whatever happens Gozo will always be my home; I am very proud of my heritage".

When questioned if she had any messages for those who had backed her throughout the contest Michela said: "I can't express my heartfelt thanks enough; thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to do something I love so much. This has opened so many doors for me".

Prime Minister Joseph Muscat met with X Factor winner and Eurovision Song Contest hopeful Michela Pace at the Auberge de Castille. Michela was accompanied by her parents. Last Saturday she was crowned the first-ever winner of X Factor Malta and will be representing the country in the Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv in May. The Minister for Justice, Culture and Local Government Owen Bonnici was also present at the meeting.

Nicole Hammett, who originally got invitation to become member of Extreme group, was withdrawn from the further participation by her parents and replaced by Lindsay Pace and Martha Micallef Attard. Miriana Conte, Denise Mercieca and Sarah Bonnici despite originally passing through were eventually put into Groups.

The Six Chair Challenge splits the hopefuls into four different categories and they are each assigned a mentor for the show, as they are then whittled down mercilessly to just six per group. Contestants have to sing individually in front of the judges each act's mentor then decides if they deserve one of six coveted seats – but they could be knocked out if their mentor decides to replace them with a subsequent performer. The lucky six left in the chairs win a spot at judges' houses, the last stage before the live finals.

Биография

Микела Пач родилась 25 января 2001 года. 18-летняя певица родом с острова Гозо - части мальтийского архипелага, известного как скрытая жемчужина Средиземноморья - и из музыкальной семьи - ее мать поет в хоре, папа играет на валторне, а кузены ее матери - дирижеры, также у нее есть три брата. Она учится в женской школе епископской консерватории в Виктории. В этом году она изучала социологию и биологию, и намеревалась стать полицейским детективом.

Микела поет с 2013 года, занимаясь с педагогом по вокалу Одри Мари Бартоло. Она начала участвовать в песенных фестивалях с мая 2014 года достигнув успеха, обычно занимая призовые места. Микела прошла прослушивание и выступила на итальянском фестивале "Voci Dal Sud", где попала в топ-10 финалистов. У нее была возможность петь с одной из лучших певиц Мальты Тицианой Каллея. На конкурсе песни, организованном ERSEB Productions, она получила сразу первое и второе места, получив шанс присоединиться к трем другим певцам из Мальты на ежегодном фестивале "Baltic Voice" 2015, проходящем в Литве.

Микела принимала участие в Singers Challenge в ночном эстрадном шоу NET TV "The Entertainers", исполняя "Ex's & Oh's" и "Semplicita" с Криссом Гаттом в 2016 году, "Home" и "Million Reasons" в 2017 году, оба раза выйдя в финал, а также приняла участие в программе развития артистов "Ultimate Artists" в Хертфордшире, Лондон, где она работала вместе с продюсером Рианны. Она подавала заявку на участие национальном отборе Мальты на Евровидение 2017 с песней "Cruise Control", но не попала в финал. В 2018 году Пач вернулась в Литву, чтобы принять участие в Muzikos Talentų Lyga 2018.

Пач попала на экраны во время первого эпизода дебютного сезона шоу X Factor Мальта, когда она прошла прослушивание с песней "Total Eclipse of the Heart" (Бонни Тайлер), получив четыре "Да" от судей, и выйдя в Тренировочный лагерь. Там она попала в группу, исполнявшую "Somebody To Love" (Queen), и все ее участники получили одобрение от судей на выход в следующую стадию. Ее первой сольной песней стала "The Story" (Бренди Карлайл). На Испытании Шести Стульев, исполняя Praying" (Кеша) она с легкостью получила "Стул" от наставника категории Девушки, музыкального менеджера Говарда Кита Дебоно. В Доме Судей, Дебоно, которому помогал британский аудио продюсер Майк Хеджес, выбрал Пач, исполнившую "Turning Tables" (Адель), в свою команду из трех девушек для шоу в прямом эфире.

На них Микела исполняла песни "Lost On You" (LP), The Power of Love" (Frankie Goes to Hollywood), "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" (Aerosmith) and "Shallow" (Леди Гага и Брэдли Купер).

Микела начала выступление в финальный вечер с той же песни, с которой она начинала свое участие в шоу - "Total Eclipse of the Heart" (Бонни Тайлер). Всемирно известный Мальтийский тенор Джозеф Каллея присоединился к ней на сцене исполнив дуэт "Perfect Symphony" (Эд Ширан и Андреа Бочелли), затем Пач исполнила классическую гозитанскую песню The Tramps "Inti Djamant" во втором раунде. В последней песне, она постаралась как можно мощнее исполнить хит Леди Гаги "Shallow"..

Клипы Микелы Пач дважды становились вирусными хитами на странице X Factor Global в Facebook, где видео с ее прослушивания собрало свыше 5 млн просмотров. Победа Микелы означает, что она подпишет контракт с Sony Music Италия, и представит Мальту на Евровидении 2019, которое пройдет в Израиле. Песня Микелы будет выбрана внутренним решением и представлена позднее.

На всем протяжении шоу, Микелу поддерживали учреждения с ее родного острова Гозо. Так, Филармоническое Общество Леоне, которое служит платформой для местных начинающих исполнителей, организовало фан-зону на своей площадке в Виктории, транслируя шоу в прямом эфире на самом большом экране в Гозо. Министерство Гозо оплатило молодым жителям острова дорогу на Мальту и возможность увидеть шоу в прямом эфире, поддерживая их намерения стать профессиональными артистами. Политики всех категорий поздравили Пач с ее победой на X Factor, партии Лейбористов и Националистов выпустили заявления по этому поводу, также ей поаплодировала Ассоциация НГО Гозо.

Микела описывает себя, как "обычного подростка, но когда я начинаю петь, то как будто мой голос захватывает всю меня. Арета Франклин когда-то сказала, что ты поешь соул всем своим телом. Я теперь точно знаю, что она имела в виду". На Евровидении 2019 Микела Пач с ее отчетливым и запоминающимся голосом исполнит песню "Chameleon". Это жизнерадостная, быстротемповая песня с современным поп-звучанием, грувом Reggaetone, а также с кубинскими оттенками. Песня была написана и спродюсирована Symphonics, которые уже занимали 2-3-4 места на Евровидениях за последние три года. Это вторая песня болгарского автора Борислава Миланова на Евровидении 2019 после Азербайджана. Посвятив последние дни доработке выбранной песни и съемкам музыкального клипа, в ближайшие недели Микела продолжит подготовку к выходу на сцену Евровидения 16 мая 2019 года.



Новости

Vodafone Malta объявил о специальной акции для жителей острова Гозо в честь участия Микелы Пач на Евровидении 2019.

Приз подсчитывается следующим образом: для планов RED: 100 евро в случае если Микела Пач выйдет в финал конкурса, 500 евро в случае ее победы на конкурсе, для обычных планов приз составит 25 и 100 евро соответственно.

Полные условия доступны здесь.



С полным ходом подготовки как организаторов, так и делегаций к конкурсу песни Евровидение в этом году, мальтийская делегация сегодня объявила о том, что хореограф мирового уровня и креативный директор Амбра Суччи будут отвечать за сценический образ мальтийской представительницы этого года Микелы Пач, работая вместе с отмеченной многими наградами украинской студией Front Pictures, известной своим видео дизайном, графикой и сценическими визуальными эффектами.

Песня, которая была недавно выпущена на всех цифровых порталах, была написана группой Symphonix, чьи композиции неоднократно входили в число лидеров в прошлые годы. Мальта всегда серьезно относилась к участию в Евровидении, но в этом году PBS решила попробовать другой подход. Впервые победитель X Factor Malta поедет на Евровидение. Первое прослушивание 18-летней Микелы собрало около 6 миллионов просмотров на платформе X Factor Global. Невероятные отзывы о ее мощном и естественном голосе были действительно оправданы, и она в конечном итоге была коронована как первый победитель X Factor на Мальте.

Нет сомнений, что Микела может отлично петь вживую и демонстрировать фантастический вокал, как это было видно на X Factor, но никто не ожидал, что она исполнит на конкурсе такую песню, как 'Chameleon', которая поставила Микелу на достойное место в ранге букмекеров и стала вторым по популярности видео на официальном Youtube канале. Впервые Мальта не демонстрирует свой номер на предварительных вечеринках Евровидения, но теперь, когда объявлена сценическая команда певицы - стало понятно, что это определенно не является совпадением.

Творческие способности Амбры Суччи оставили свой след в различных выдающихся шоу, включая само Евровидение, так как Амбра была ответственна за победное выступление Лорен с Euphoria еще в 2012 году. Это выступление до сих пор считается одним из лучших сценических выступлений на Евровидении. Она также работала с Робином Шернбергом, Эльнуром Гусейновым, Поли Геновой и Яной Бурческой. На Евровидении для Молодых Танцоров 2017 она была членом жюри. Другие известные проекты, над которыми Амбра работала - Green Day's Musical, X Factor Sweden, работа с многочисленными номерами на шведском Melodifestivalen (например Renaida, Barbi Escobar MF 2018, Mimi Oh 2012, Danny Saucedo, Dilba 2011). Амбра говорит, что Микела - прирожденная артистка, и она не может дождаться, чтобы показать номер зрителям шоу.

С Микелой также работают танцоры Albin Lindén (Renaida MF 2018), Nyat K Fredriksson, Amir Ashoor (Margaret, Vlad Reiser MF 2019, Renaida MF 2018), Amanda Arin.

Также получившие звание победителей Евровидения, компания Front Pictures, создавшая и курировавшая от концепции до стадии реализации визуальный номер Джамалы на Евровидении 2016 года, будет отвечать за сценическую графику и визуальные эффекты номера Микелы. Недавно Front Pictures создали потрясающие визуальные эффекты для популярной песни Pink 'Try' на Brit Awards 2019. До этого они оказали огромное глобальное влияние благодаря своему инновационному выступлению в America Got Talent. Представитель Front Pictures заявляет, что этот проект является особенным для них, поскольку он возвращает компанию на сцену Евровидения, и они намерены создать еще один замечательный сценический номер.



10/03: Премьера песни Мальты

Песня Мальты для Евровидения 2019 будет представлена в воскресенье в 20:00 Москвы. Конкурсная песня была выбрана из более чем 300 представленных песен. После записи нескольких демо-версий, несколько фокус-групп и отраслевые эксперты проголосовали за финальный выбор. В данной композиции Микела продемонстрирует другую сторону своего разнопланового таланта.

Микела Пач - победитель первого выпуска шоу X Factor Malta. В конкурсе приняли участие более 500 претендентов, и ему удалось собрать рекордную аудиторию для Мальты, насчитывающую более 200 000 зрителей, с беспрецедентным количеством в 132 000 голосов, которые определили победителя. Впервые победитель X Factor будет представлять Мальту на конкурсе Евровидение.

Наставник X Factor Говард Кит говорит, что Микела продемонстрировала на конкурсе, что она не уклоняется от вызовов. Предсказуемость не является частью ее словарного запаса, и эта песня покажет другую сторону Микелы ... готовьтесь к переменам.

Другая судья X Factor Ира Лоско говорит: "Когда я впервые увидела, как Микела поет эту песню, я была просто поражена тем, насколько она готова измениться и показать нам еще одну свою сторону. Микела - артист на все 360 градусов. Мне очень нравится эта песня и ее запоминающийся голос".

Известный местный музыкальный продюсер Элтон Зарб, который входил в состав фокус-групп, помогающих PBS выбрать песню, назвал ее "Дыханием свежего воздуха - блестящей песней".

В 18 лет Микела Пач приобрела национальную известной, став первой обладательницей титула X Factor в стране и представительницей Мальты на Евровидении 2019. "Я до сих пор не могу в это поверить! Я никогда не думала, что действительно выиграю".

Пообщавшись с газетой Malta Independent, Микела рассказала, что самой сложной проблемой, с которой она столкнулась во время участия в проекте, было оставить свою семью на Гозо. "Впервые я оказалась на Мальте в одиночестве, репетируя без семейной поддержки. Поскольку у нас были еженедельные живые выступления, я могла возвращаться домой только на один или два дня в неделю. Я считаю себя по-настоящему семейным человеком, так что это было настоящим вызовом, который мне пришлось преодолеть".

При поддержке Ховарда Кита Дебоно и команды она смогла успешно передать свои эмоции в выступлениях. "Ховард научил меня многому; это было невероятно вдохновляюще, когда он меня поддерживал, и он посоветовал мне снова начать играть на пианино, что я делала раньше, когда была моложе. Я действительно надеюсь однажды начать писать свои собственные песни и создавать собственную музыку".

Помимо Джозефа Каллейи, с которым она недавно спела дуэтом на одном из живых выступлений, Микела добавляет: "Если речь идет о других местных артистах, с которыми я бы хотела сотрудничать, Ира Лоско - одна из них. Я всегда была ее большой поклонницей; я люблю ее музыку с детства.".

Несмотря на бурную неделю возвращения к толпе поклонников на Гозо, многочисленных выступлений на телевидении, радио и в средствах массовой информации, Микела остается невероятно уравновешенной и спокойной. "Я знаю, что только начинаю работать в этой отрасли; мне есть чему поучиться, и все может случиться", - добавляет она, остро осознавая, насколько хрупкой может быть слава. "В этом году я изучала социологию и биологию, и намеревалась стать полицейским детективом - ну, я все еще могу это сделать!", говорит она смеясь.

Микела, у которой есть три брата в Виктории, Гозо, описывает ее воспитание как очень музыкальное. "Моя мама поет в хоре, мой папа играет на валторне, а кузены моей матери - дирижеры". Ее близость с семьей и Гозо остается очевидной на протяжении всего интервью. "Жизнь на Гозо очень спокойная, как вы можете себе представить, я просто просыпаюсь, иду в школу, учусь, потом снова сплю. Я все еще пытаюсь приспособиться к другому образу жизни и осмыслить происходящее. Я взволнована тем, куда меня приведет это путешествие, будь то на Мальте, или за границей, но что бы ни случилось, Гозо всегда будет моим домом; я очень горжусь своим наследием".

Отвечая на вопрос, есть ли у нее какое-либо послание для тех, кто поддерживал ее на протяжении всего конкурса, Микела сказала: "Я не могу достаточно выразить им всю свою сердечную благодарность; большое спасибо за предоставленную мне возможность делать то, что я так сильно люблю. Так много дверей открылись для меня ".

Премьер-министр Мальты Джозеф Мускат встретился с победительницей X Factor и участницей конкурса Евровидение Микелой Пач в Auberge de Castille. Микелу сопровождали ее родители. В прошлую субботу она была коронована первым в истории победителем X Factor Malta и будет представлять страну на Евровидении в Тель-Авиве в мае. На встрече также присутствовал министр юстиции, культуры и местного самоуправления Оуэн Бонничи.

Национальный отбор

20го июня мальтийский вещатель PBS сообщил о том, что победитель шоу The X Factor Malta представит Мальту на Евровидении 2019. Шоу выходит в эфир телеканала TVM по воскресеньям в 20:50 с 7го октября, а ежедневные дневники - перед 8 часовыми новостями. The X Factor - формат, который принадлежит компании Syco Entertainment, в мировых масштабах его продюсирует Freemantle Media Limited, а на Мальте - Mint Media Limited вместе с общественным вещателем Public Broadcasting Services Ltd. Помимо права представить страну на конкурсе Евровидение 2019, победитель The X Factor сможет заключить контракт с лейблом Sony Music Italia, таким образом присоединившись к такому списку артистов, как Michael Jackson, Beyonce, James Arthur, Adele, Marco Mengoni, Little Mix, Harry Styles и др.

Исполнительный директор PBS Чарльз Далли говорит, что The X Factor Malta будет выходить в эфир телеканала TVM с октября по январь, и ожидается, что он поднимет местную развлекательную индустрию на новый уровень. "The X Factor Malta - уникальное приобретение для PBS, потому что мы говорим о шоу международного уровня, благодаря которому мы все сделаем шаг вперед на местном уровне продакшена. Однако, оно повлияет не только на технический уровень эфира и производства - мы также дадим новую возможность мальтийским талантам. Мы увидим новые лица, которые получат возможность и площадку показать свой талант через свои голоса. Благодаря X Factor, песням и их исполнителям будет уделяться не просто один финальный вечер, но несколько месяцев - с октября по конец января", говорит Далли.

Прием заявок на участие в шоу стартовал 26 июня, и проводился онлайн. Заинтересованные исполнители могли также отправить видеозапись по Whatsapp на телефон 77062018. Прием заявок был завершен в среду, 4 июля 2018 года. Заявки также принимались в начале января во временных шатрах X Factor в торговых центрах PAVI, PAMA, перед зданием Парламента в Валлетте и различных других точках страны. Всем участвующим артистам должно исполниться по меньшей мере 16 лет на 1 мая 2019; соответствуя правилам Евровидения в состав групп могло входить не более шести человек; все артисты должны быть гражданами Мальты, или обладать двойным гражданством, одним из которых будет мальтийское. В случае заявок от групп, солист должен быть гражданином Мальты, или обладать двойным мальтийским гражданством. Первые прослушивания перед судьями начались 1го августа на исторической территории Форта Сант-Анджело в Биргу.

Шоу проведет фаворит местной публики Бен Камилль, а в состав жюри войдут местный музыкальный продюсер Ховард Кит Дебоно, мальтийская звезда Ира Лоско, талантливая Александра Олден и опытный музыкант Рей Мерчиа. Поклонники Евровидения могут узнать Камилля по предыдущим мероприятиям на Мальте, он ранее вел Мальтийский национальный отбор Malta Eurovision Song Contest (MESC) и финал международного детского Евровидения в 2016 году. В интервью телеканалу TVM, Камилль заявил: "Сбылась моя мечта. The X Factor - один из самых престижных телевизионных форматов, и я польщен этой возможностью". 11 декабря X Factor Мальта объявил о поиске оригинальных песен для исполнения конкурсантами в рамках живых шоу. Заинтересованные авторы песен могут обратиться по адресу xfactor@tvm.com.mt. Прием заявок завершается 14 декабря. Билеты на шоу продаются через сайт showshappening.com. Испытание Стульев было снято 11-12 октября. Три шоу в прямом эфире выйдут 6, 13 и 20 января, а финальное шоу - 26 января. Съемки проходят в MFCC - Мальтийском Ярмарочно-Конференц-Центре в Аттарде.

В октябре согласно оценке Вещательного Органа Мальты X Factor Malta стал самой популярной программой на Мальте на всех телеканалах.

Старший продюсер - Гордон Бонелло - один из самых опытных людей в производстве телевизионных программ на Мальте. Начав свою карьеру в качестве актера в двух популярных мальтийских драмах L-Evangelisti и Deceduti, Гордон продолжил ее как продюсер, сценарист и композитора музыки для конкурсов Детское Евровидение 2014, 2015, а также 2017 и 2018 годов. Кроме того, Гордон также несколько лет продюсировал национальный отбор Мальтийская песня для Европы. Гордон надеется, что The X Factor Malta предоставит всем жителям Мальты и Гозо возможность продемонстрировать свой талант.

Бен Камилль был объявлен самым любимым телеведущим Мальты на сегодняшний день. Он получил премию как "Любимая телевизионная личность Мальты всех времен" во время последнего выпуска Malta TV Awards. Впервые в 2016 году общественный вещатель (PBS) решил, что у Мальтийского отбора на Евровидение должен быть только один ведущий, в отличие от обычной пары. Эта ответственность была возложена на Бена Камилля. После этого, всего 8 месяцев спустя Бену снова было доверено право представлять Мальту на международной арене - на этот раз он стал ведущим международного финала Детского Евровидения, который прошел на Мальте в ноябре 2016 года.

Ховард Кит - основатель Jagged House Music Company, он помог сформировать растущую музыкальную сцену Мальты и продюсирует крупнейших исполнителей страны последние 15 лет. Его длинный список успешных работ, опыт тур-менеджера, а также одного из организаторов фестиваля Earth Garden, делает его исключительным музыкальным наставником. Он также работал над 40 другими международными постановками, а также с голливудскими блокбастерами, такими как "Властелин колец". Известный благодаря тому, что он всегда говорит прямо, он может довести выявление талантов и их воспитание до максимума.

Ира Лоско - пожалуй, самая большая поп-звезда на Мальте с более чем 22 музыкальными наградами, 8 альбомами, более 100 песнями, несколькими музыкальными публикациями, включая DVD и книгу. Она была самым продаваемым артистом Мальты, возглавляя местный чарт ITunes в течение 28 недель подряд. Выступив в более чем 25 разных странах мира, недавно, после своего выпуска двойного альбома, она сотрудничала с международной суперзвездой Джейсоном Деруло.

24-летняя Александра Олден - мальтийский музыкант и певица, которая в настоящее время работает в Роттердаме, Нидерланды, где в июле 2018 года она получила диплом в Консерватории CODARTS. В 19 лет она переехала в Нидерланды, чтобы продолжить свою карьеру в музыке. Ее первый EP "The Curious Child", записанный в возрасте 16 лет, привел к появлению двух топовых синглов на Мальте в 2012 и 2013 годах. Ее дебютный полноформатный альбом "Wild Honey" был записан в Rocktown Studios в Роттердаме и доступен на виниле, он был выпущен в Бенилюксе и Мальте в июле 2018 года с дальнейшими релизами, запланированными в Скандинавии, США и Канаде на конец 2018 года и начало 2019 года. Ее альбом был выпущен на международном голландском лейбле "MARS Worldwide".

Рэй Мерчиа - захватил воображение мальтийской молодежной культуры 80-х годов после заключения сделки с рекорд-лейблом, которая стала первой для Мальты. За этим последовала самая популярная местная группа 90-х "The Characters", в которой он был солистом. В последние годы Рэй вновь в лучах славы - с возвращением легендарной группы "The Rifffs", выпустившей 2 альбома на сегодняшний день, гастролировавшей по всей Европе, а также выступавшей хедлайнером на знаменитых фестивалях.

Мириана Конте, Дениз Мерчиа и Сара Бонничи, несмотря на то, что изначально прошли в следующий этап, все равно были помещены в состав групп.

Испытание Шести Стульев разбивает кандидатов на четыре разные категории, каждой из которых назначается наставник, в то время, как те должны безжалостно сократить группы до шести человек. Участники поют индивидуально перед судьями, и их наставник решает, заслуживают ли они одного из шести желанных мест, - но их можно выбить, если наставник решит заменить их последующим исполнителем. Шесть счастливчиков, которые останутся на стульях, получат место в Доме Судей, последним этапом перед шоу в прямом эфире.
