Yesterday was quite the hectic day for Malta’s X Factor starlet, Michela Pace. The 18-year-old Gozitan local touched down in Tel Aviv earlier this week and started off her first rehearsals for the Semi Finals, happening next week.

Her performance raked in nothing but praise from commentators and Eurovision experts from all over the world, who were impressed with her performance and staging.

After the rehearsals, Michela, together with the Maltese delegation, sat down for a press conference. They answered various questions posed by journalists, including about Michela's X Factor journey, Ira Losco’s advice as well as questions about her beloved Gozo.

The press couldn't resist putting her on the spot, asking her to sing a song or two, because let’s face it, her pipes are insane! She first sung Total Eclipse of the Heart (which she sung for her X Factor Malta audition), and was later asked to sing a song in her native language, and she obviously chose Inti Djamant... the song she sang in the X Factor Malta final, touching hearts everywhere.

Here’s Michela’s full press interview... fast forward to 8:40 and 17:30 to hear that beautiful voice!
