Who says Destiny, says Eurovision. In 2015 she won the Junior Song Contest. In 2019 she gave vocal support to Maltese candidate Michela at the ESC. No one had any doubts that Destiny would win X-Factor Malta 2020, and with this victory the ticket to the Eurovision Song Contest. For the contest she got the song “All of my love”, but the Eurovision Song Contest was canceled. Malta chose to send Destiny on the road again, this time with “Je me casse”. This song is, at this moment, the hot favorite with the bookies.
Anyone wondering how Destiny Chukunyere got such a non-Maltese name: she has a Nigerian father. Her life does not only consist of song contests: in 2017 she participated in the talent show Brittain’s Got Talent and came sixth there.

Dutch broadcaster delays decision on participation
The Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS has been allowed to delay their decision about participating in next year’s Eurovision Song Contest. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which organizes Eurovision, has given them until at least November 1 to decide. AVROTROS explained that a meeting with the EBU’s leadership has started a positive conversation. To give this conversation a chance, they asked for more time to decide if they will participate. The EBU agreed to this delay, and AVROTROS is thankful for it. The broadcaster started questioning their participation after the EBU disqualified Dutch artist Joost Klein from this year’s Eurovision final in Malmö, Sweden. Klein had an argument with a camerawoman, which led to his disqualification. AVROTROS disagreed with the EBU’s decision. Recently, Swedish authorities closed the case, saying there wasn’t enough evidence. Next year’s Eurovision will take place in May in Basel, Switzerland. The EBU hopes that the Netherlands will take part and plans to announce the list of participating countries by the end of the year. Share
