The San Remo category known as Nuova generazione has just been hit by a series of stars in connection the Eurovision Song Contest. Following in the footsteps of Roberto Meloni is none other than Maltese star Claudia Faniello as well as Italian group Miodio.

The song Guardami (Look at me) performed by Claudia Faniello who took part in the Maltese national final since 2006, is composed by Philip Vella and written by Marco Vanuzzi as well as Franco Masi. It will be competing for a spot in the final through a process of online voting which is set to finish on the 12th January 2010. Whilst contacting her manager Trevor Fenech, one could note that he is quite excited about the prospect of the singer being in the competition and is currently hoping for the best believing that the product presented is good.

In the meantime the song Perdo contatto (I lose contact) interpreted by Miodio features a similar style to what we saw during their performance at the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest where they took part on behalf of the nation of San Marino. The group will also be vying for a place in the final of the annual competition yet only a handful will be picked in the long run.
