Trivia

This year's contest marked the 50th edition of the Eurovision.

Angel was written and composed by Chiara who called it “her baby”.

This was Chiara's second appearance at the Eurovision Song Contest, a first for any Maltese singer. To date, she is Malta's most successful singer at the Eurovision.

There were initially two more countries expected to make their debuts in this year's semi-final - the Czech Republic who withdrew in December, and Lebanon who withdrew in March, due to their refusal to broadcast the Israeli entry.

The bottom four this year were also the 'Big Four' - the UK, France, Germany and Spain, who are the biggest financial contributors to the EBU and are therefore guaranteed a place in next year's final.
