==Trivia==<br />
<br />
Malta's entry was a ballad, chosen to impress the Irish, and Debbie Scerri had a robe that matched the style of the song.<br />
<br />
Ray Agius returned as the composer and lyricist of this year's entry from Malta after his first Eurovision appearance as composer on 1995's Keep Me In Mind.<br />
<br />
Televoting was introduced for the first time across Europe, giving rise to the infamous 'and 12 points go to our neighbours ...' where countries, that cannot obviously vote for their entry, vote for their neighbours' songs. Many Maltese think this penalises their entry as Malta does not have strong Eurovision neighbours.<br />
