Malta MALTA 2018 - Christabelle - Taboo

[Remembrance]

Not my cup of tea, but she performed it well live, so there's that.

Okay, increasing my score from 6 to 8. That live performance is catchy!

 

[RevNet]

THE GOOD:
-Her vocals are pretty good.
-The beat is nice, as well.

THE BAD:
-I could've done without the bit of dubstep towards the end.
-Overall, it's a good, but not great, song.

THE VERDICT:
While it's not setting the world on fire in my eyes, this Maltese entry is decent. As I always say, though; it is up to the audience come performance time. If this qualifies, it is because the performance emphasizes what's good about this song, mainly its vocals. 7 points

I quite like the song this year from Malta, it took a while to grow on me but its pleasant to listen too.

 

[JonnyWest]

The dubstep part is a shame tbh... it brings the song down for me

 

[cegs5]

This is so bad in every sense that I should actually love it ... but no, this just stayed in the zone of trash, didn't go beyond to become iconic.
Right now zero, could be changed inmidiately to 12 if something even more ridiculous is added in their revamp. Please Malta, don't make it better, make it worse because that's even more challenging, and become iconic!

0.

I have to say that Christabelle's personality and charm on the stage really lifts everything up!

The chorus left me underwhelmed. Juries will have this in the top 10 of course, but I doubt she will qualify.

This song has grown on me massively already. I actually really dig the chorus now.
Changed it to 8 points.

The TV-Numbers have been released:

 

[pyryniemi]

Those seem more like estimates, not the actual figures

anyway, I'm gonna start with an for it sounds very 2011 but nonetheless (or because of that) I prefer it over the boring pop we have nowadays. It does need a revamp (and some kinks in the staging should be ironed out) in order to live up to its full potential but it's G:son so I trust them that it will happen

Oh yes, just read that TVM only revealed the whole Amount of Televotes and that someone calculated them, but those Numbers shouldnt be too faraway from the Reality.

 

[Realest]

These Numbers are pretty low. Now I understand why chose to send their Powervoters to between 2010-2013

i wonder how much would be 1 point worth if the last placed song got no votes at all

Still the same amount... the last-placed song would just have 0 points, is all

 

[Sean]

Such a shame this didn't win, such a laid-back, groovy song

 

[Sparkles]

Not really sure what to make of this yet... Could be decent... Could also be a complete train wreck.

Once the song was over for the first time, I could not even remember a single thing from the melody anymore. Meanwhile the song has grown on me and I kind of like the chorus. I'll give it a 5 for now.
