“I’ll be about to explode with excitement. His favourite moment each year in the whole Eurovision experience is the few seconds before the Maltese contestant goes on stage. Other countries put so much effort into this,” he says. We just need to focus on better marketing and communication. “But this is not the end of the world and we should continue taking part in this contest. The former mayor of Żurrieq was among the Maltese fans who travelled to Oslo to support Thea Garrett and was extremely disappointed by Tuesday’s semi-final results because he was convinced she would qualify with “maximum points”. “Whenever I’m not able to make it I feel like I’ve lost a year of my life,” he says, describing the contest as a great way of sharing cultures, meeting people and having fun, all in the name of music.

Mary tried again and she has successfully entered 2 songs which competed in Malta Song For Europe in 2008, but was unsuccessful in reaching the Eurovision. In September 2006 Mary announced that she hoped to participate in the Malta Song for Europe Festival in 2007, and in fact she submitted a number of songs, of which none were chosen for the Maltese Song for Europe Festival. She was unplaced in the 1995 Maltese final with Just One Love but managed a third place in 1997 with Lovers Play with Words. Mary's subsequent efforts to return to the Eurovision stage have not been successful. After her 1992 appearance Mary became something of a diva figure to Eurovision fans and was presented with an award by Eurovision Network at their convention held in Coventry that year. Another attempt was made in 1975 when Mary performed two songs in the Maltese final, Live For Tomorrow and Try a Little Love Today. In 1971 she participated in the Maltese heat of Eurovision with the song Min Int? (Who Are You?). Spiteri finished in third place behind Ireland and the United Kingdom.ġ992 was not Mary's first attempt at Eurovision. Mary represented Malta in the 1992 Eurovision Song Contest held in Malmö with the song Little Child. Mary Spiteri is a popular cabaret artiste from Malta.
