Malta’s Got Talent ( MGT ) returns to our television screens via TVM.
The previous MGT was back in 2020. It was also the first season of this popular TV show. That season’s presenter, Gordon Bonello, is now in one of the Judges’ chairs for this season. In his place, presenting the show, there is the one and only Gianni Zammit!
Gianni is renowned for his bubbly personality, and is very popular on radio and television and for his singing. He is also known to be a great fan of Kiss. We believe he will be a great host who knows how to make the show exciting throughout the programme.
The returning judges are; popular, actor director and presenter, Ray Attard and influencer and model Sarah Zerafa. Whereas the new judges are; the popular presenter and actor Gordon Bonello and radio presenter, actor and model, Valentina Rossi. They make a very interesting team and fun programme.

The Timid Soprano
14 Year old Kieran Bonello timidly walks on stage. Soft speaking and shy acting, after the usual introduction, he goes on to give goose pimples to those watching surprising everyone with his amazing soprano heavenly voice. Judge Sarah is so impressed that she goes on to give this amazing talent a well deserved Golden Buzzer. This puts him straight into the semi finals. Well done Kieran!

One last Singer
Joanne is a thirty year old mum and she impresses the audience present with a fantastic voice but most importantly a beautiful Maltese song. Not all the judges are impressed by her singing techniques, however they see a huge potential in her abilities and give her four yesses enabling her to pass on to the next stage.
Our verdict
Here at Entertainment Malta we enjoyed the show, found the acts that passed through the next stage deserving of their YES votes and agree with the judges where they said NO. Gianni delivered as expected and we totally agree with Sarah’s Golden Buzzer choice and look forward to the next show. But before we go, let’s take a look at that emotional Golden Buzzer Moment once again .
