The Romanian Eurovision star, Mihai Traistariu set his eyes on the Maltese singer, Claudia Faniello. Mihai represented Romania successfully in 2006 with the smashing hit, 'Tornero'.
Eventually he tied strong links with the Maltese public and will be landing in Malta for the 8th time this weekend for a concert as part of the GOZO 1234 events.
In his press release, Mihai revealed the following:
"The Gozo festival, will have, also, other Eurovision Guest Stars including Claudia Faniello (Maltasong 2007, 2008) – to whom Mihai would like to compose a song for Eurovision 2009 … as he sees her a great artist and a great voice with a very good potential to win Eurovision 2009 with a HUGE SONG!"
It is still unknown whether this entry will be submitted in Romania or in Malta. In recent years, rules of the Romanian and the Maltese national finals allowed entries from songwriters originating from both countries.
During his stay in Malta, Mihai will be the special guest of 'Xarabank' and 'Hadd Ghalik' both produced by WE and aired on TVM.
