Hightlights of the show  Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2016 - The Recap (Part 4):
This week the story of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2016 closes as the Team of Radio
International was in Malta - the Home of
the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2016. The 14th edition
of the
Junior Eurovision Song Contest was in Mediterranean Conference Centre (MCC) on 20 November 2016, 1600 hours CET
with the participation of 17 countries: Albania,
Armenia, Australia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Cyprus, FYRO Macedonia, Georgia,
Ireland, Israel, Italy, Malta, Poland, Russia, Serbia, The Netherlands
and Ukraine. The show was hosted by Valerie Vella and Bed Camille and
they had the honours to also announce the Winner of the Junior
Eurovision Song Contest 2016 being Mariam Mamadashvili from Georgia with the song "Mzeo".
It is also the third time that Georgia won the contest. The previous
two times when Georgia won theJunior Eurovision where in 2008 and 2011.
This year's theme song
of the event is "#Embrace" sung by last year's Junior Eurovision Song Contest Winner for Malta - Destiny. Consult the official event's website Junior Eurovision Song Contest for all the latest news concerning the Junior Eurovision Song Contest
2016 and also you will also find all detailed information about
the
young
artists. Members of the Team of Radio International were at
the event to interview the young artists which you can
see as video interviews on
the accompanying Eurovision Blog.
 Interview with Poli Genova (Bulgaria 2011 and 2016): The best ever placed result for Bulgaria at the Eurovision Song Contest as Poli Genova with the song "If love was a crime"
came fourth at the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 with a total of 307
points. Poli is no stranger to the fan base of the Eurovision Song
Contest since she represented Bulgaria already once before in 2011 with
the song "Na inat" which unfortunately at that time did not
qualify Bulgaria for the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest and
reached Number 12 in the Semi Final 2. However, in 2016 Poli achieved
the best ever result for Bulgaria at the Eurovision Song Contest
reaching Number 4 with "If love was a crime". Further Poli also
hosted the Junior Eurovision Song
Contest 2015 last December from Sofia, Bulgaria and was also on the
guest list at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2016 in Malta being the
Interval Act. Radio International's JP caught up with the singer during
the rehearals.
