Interview with Chiara (Malta 1998, 2005, 2009): At the recent edition of Eurovision Club Germany's Annual Convention on 19 November 2022 in Cologne, Germany, five Eurovision acts were special guests performing each a little concert of course, containing their Eurovison entry / entries. Getter Jaani (Estonia 2011), WRS (Romani 2022), Selma (Iceland 1999 and 2005), Fridrik Omar of Euroband (Iceland 2008) and Chiara (Malta 1998, 2005 and 2009) performed at the event.
JP, Marc and Salman were on location and conducted interviews with all the artists which you will hear on the show. This week the next and final interview from the event is the interview one of Malta's Best Singers - Chiara.

Chiara not only represented her native country Malta once, not twice but three times when in 1998 she came 3rd with the song "The One that I Love". She came 2nd in 2005 with the song "Angel" and in 2009 she tried again with the song "What if we" coming 22nd. Will she try to represent Malta for a 4th time and what are her memories from her participation at Eurovision.

Listen to the interview this week on Radio International and find out all about Chiara from the sunny Island of Malta.

Eurovision Stars sing for Christmas: As this week is the Radio International edition in the Christmas Week this week's music choice is rather special too as many Eurovision artists released their cover version of great Christmas Songs which you will hear on the show this week in addition, to get you into the mood for the Festive Season.
