Eurovision Review: Malta
Malta Loves Eurovision, but the feeling isn't mutual. In Malta's 23 previous attempts since 1971, the best Malta has got was 2nd, In 2002 and 2005. They wont better that result this year.
After 1975, Malta took an extended break form Eurovision and didnt come back until 1991, understandable after having finished last twice and 12/18 on their other appearance. this years result will be more akin to that
First thing I had to do was check the lyrics to ensure he was singing in English. I guessed he was because Malta usually does, but I wasn't sure because I couldn't understand what the hell he was singing through his attempts to sound like Michael Jackson
He seems to be a great little performer, gong by the live version. Maybe I have something against these full of themselves kids that appear to make it. Maybe it is the music that they perform that makes them seem so full of themselves or maybe it is that I have heard drum machines for far too long. It wont set Eurovision on fire, but it should qualify for the final.
In 1971, Malta came last, and rightfully so. this guy thinks he is Tom Jones meets Elvis, he performs like Domenico Modugno on acid and he came last... with all that going for him.
