 Interview with Fabrizio Faniello (Malta National Final 2011): No
stranger to the listeners of Radio International as Fabrizio Faniello
was on the show a few times in previous months. Fabrizio entered his
song "No surrender" to the Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2011
which was held on 12 March 2011 in the Mediterranean Conference Centre
of Valetta in Malta. Glen Vella won the ticket to represent Malta at the
2011 Eurovision Song Contest, however, Fabrizio "No surrender" ranked
4th at the end of the show. Fabrizio Faniello previously represented
Malta at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2001 with "Another Summer Night" and in 2006 with "I do".
This interview Radio International airs this week coincides very well
with Fabrizio's chart success in Germany as "No surrender" has entered
the German Charts this week.

full under the roof for the great show on Saturday evening but also all
the two dress rehearsals on Saturday afternoon and Friday night were
