Malta: Six nuns to Vienna?

48 participants are still in the running to represent the tiny island of Malta in Vienna. Many familiar faces are included on this list; Miriam Christine, Ludwig Galea, Olivia Lewis, Glen Vella and Gianluca Bezzina have all submitted tracks into the selection. Six nuns are also in the running... and they will sing a pop tune composed by Philip Vella. One of the nuns had this to day:

At first we thought it was silly for nuns to enter the Eurovision Song Contest, we thought it wasn’t our place. But then we figured why not? We’re doing it for the church and for the children we help.

PBS, the national broadcaster, will announce the 20 semi-finals in a few days. Will the nuns be included, though?
