Reflecting upon the last eventful live XFactor Malta show, Kevin Paul Calleja took to social media to open up about all that happened. ‘After some well-needed rest & some time to process all that’s happened during this XFactor Malta journey, I want to say thank you’ he started. 

Recalling his first audition and his opportunity to showcase an original song during the first live show, he went on to say that judges made the right decision during the third performance night. Kevin stated that he was particularly happy how the performance of Money Heist’s theme song turned out, having been his final song before the sing-off. 

‘I must also admit that, ultimately, during the sing-off, Ira Losco & Philippa Naudi made the right call & for that reason I’d like to congratulate Timea Farr for making it through.’ He went on to thank his XFactor Mentor Howard Keith for his ‘undying efforts in pushing [him] towards becoming a better version of [himself], working with you was a huge learning curve and for that I am eternally grateful.’ He extended his gratitude to everyone from his family, to all the production team and his fans for supporting him as ‘every message, very comment, every call & every vote is truly appreciated.’

Jan 31 2022 Share

According to German publisher BILD, French superstar Kylian Mbappe has reportedly agreed a deal with Spanish giants Real Madrid to join them in the summer .

This transfer  will be possible because of the fact that Kylian’s current contract with PSG is set to expire at the end of the season. The striker has made it clear privately and publicly that he will not extend his stay at the Parisian club.

 

The mammoth deal will see Kylian Mbappe become the world’s best paid player. He will reportedly earn around €50 million gross per season. That means that he will pocket a rough estimate of €962,000 a weak and €95 every minute. According to Spanish publication MARCA, the deal will not be announced before PSG’s crucial Champions League tie versus Real Madrid.

As of right now Kylian is full on focusing on ending his PSG chapter with a bang. They will try to regain their stronghold of Ligue 1 after coming second last year whilst also trying again to win a long awaited first Champions League for the club.
