The aftermath of the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest has brought to light some surprising outcomes, notably Malta’s disappointing finish in the second semi-final. Despite a strong performance by Sarah Bonnici, Malta found itself at the bottom of the scoreboard with a mere 13 points. Only four countries extended their support to Malta: France, Greece, San Marino, and Armenia, with minimal points awarded.
In contrast, Israel’s Eden Golan emerged as the night’s victor, despite facing controversies. Golan secured an impressive 194 points, narrowly surpassing Joost Klein from The Netherlands, who garnered 182 points. However, Klein’s journey was cut short as he was disqualified ahead of the final amid allegations of an altercation with a female member of the Swedish production crew.
Malta’s last-place finish comes as a surprise, particularly considering the country’s strong track record in the Eurovision Song Contest. The performance by Sarah Bonnici undoubtedly showcased talent and effort, yet it failed to resonate with the voting audience and juries alike.
While the dust settles on this year’s Eurovision, questions arise about the factors contributing to Malta’s unexpected result. Whether it was a matter of song choice, staging, or simply tough competition, Malta’s Eurovision journey in 2024 ends on a somber note. Nevertheless, the spirit of the contest persists, with each country’s performance serving as a testament to the diversity and creativity celebrated on the Eurovision stage.
