Malta has cleared up its mess with lawsuits and such, and finally can start its own selection. Out of 123 received songs - only by Maltese writers - international jury will pick up in early December the 36 songs that will go on to the six semifinals, each with six songs. Twenty songs will make it to the final on February 20, 2010. Each singer was allowed to send in one song but when will they do the same for the composers?! Malta has reached the top-3 in Eurovision 4 times: in 1992 and 1998 3rd, and in 2002 and 2005 2nd. Last four years Malta has made the bottom of the final list or haven't reached the final at all.
