Following a query raised by Rhiannon Micallef after her semi-final performance, PBS addressed the matter promptly and with care. PBS met with the singer and members of Rhiannon Micallef’s artistic team to listen carefully to the concerns raised and to review the performance together.
Following comprehensive technical checks and assessments, no production-side technical fault or audio malfunction was identified or substantiated.
The situation was assessed in line with established procedures and the applicable Contest Rules. On this basis, there was no justification for authorising a repeat performance. As a general principle, a repeat performance may only be considered in exceptional circumstances where a verified technical failure has occurred and has materially affected the performance. Any such decision is taken on a case-by-case basis following confirmation by the relevant technical and production teams.
PBS remains committed to treating all performers with respect and to ensuring fairness, transparency, and consistency in the application of the Contest Rules.
