The kids have been rehearsing, their parents have paced all of the hallways at Malta Fairs & Conventions Centre in Ta’ Qali, and it’s nearly time for the children of Europe to stay up way past their bedtime to enjoy an amazing show.
Michael and Io get into the songs that make up the second half of the 2026 Junior Eurovision Song Contest and try to pick a winner.
If you have a winner, you can vote right now via jesc.tv!
