Tonight, the semi-final of The X Factor in Malta concluded, with four acts remaining in the running to be selected as the Mediterranean nation’s representative in Rotterdam.
Six acts remained in the competition before tonight’s semi-final, with all three groups (Bloodline, F.A.I.T.H. and Yazmin & James), Kyle Cutajar, Destiny Chukunyere and Justine Shorfid the remaining acts.
