Their first entry was to be sung by Claudette Pace in 2000. They also wrote Malta&#039;s 2004 entry, On Again...Off Again sung by Julie &amp; Ludwig, Oliva Lewis&#039; Vertigo in 2007 and Vodka by Morena in 2008.<br /> <br /> At the time of her Eurovision appearance, Ira formed part of the Maltese band [[Tiara]]. She released a solo album in 2005, called [[Accident Prone]].<br /> <br /> The songs were shown in reverse in the reprise to establish some equality.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurovision_Song_Contest_2002 Eurovision Song Contest 2002] - Wikipedia<br /> * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malta_in_the_Eurovision_Song_Contest_2002 Malta in the Eurovision Song Contest 2002] - Wikipedia<br /> <br /> [[Category:Malta at the Eurovision Song Contest]]<br /> [[Category:2002 in Malta]]</div>
