Georgia GEORGIA 2014 - Mariko Ebralidze and The Shin - Three Minutes to Earth

[Sean]

I mean no offence but Maltese seems like one of the harshest languages to sing in... so that's probably why

 

[A-lister]

Partly wrong there!!

Maltese's for everyday 'common' life that kind of thing, but on the media, English is plastered all around - adverts, magazines, products, most radio DJs, it's as if Maltese is a sub-standard language. Trust me, there's more of a chance San Marino will win the contest with 30 12 points than a song in Maltese!

People tend to snub Maltese to appear posh, intellectual and educated. Hope they rot in hell (no offence to native English speakers of course)

But it seems atleast hosts on ur main broadcaster speaks in Maltese, and if Maltese is used every day it's atleast alive and kicking unlike let's say Gailic-Irish in Ireland

Yes let them rot! (O) T()

 

[Terence]

You're right. Most TV-hosts though co-switch languages or even snub Maltese at all, as in when having foreign guests, they don't bother to translate: 'of coursr, everyone understands English, why bother?!'

And the Northern part of Malta is crowded with English-speaking people, living a culture of their own. The souther part of Malta is more 'Maltese' is you know what I mean!

ROTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

That's true, I agree. I'd like to give a Maltese song a try in FSC but hardly no one records music in Maltese as far as I know - but if Germans and Israelis sing in their native languages, then why shouldn't we? *

*yes, in my opinion those languages are also 'un-song-friendly'

ROTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Well, hosts here also speaks in English with foreign guests and usually don't translate either... so in that sense there's no difference

You should give a Maltese language song a try in FSC! Good idea!

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

I've heard a few Maltese songs in NSC but I don't think they've done very well at all They're very uncommon

I actually like both German and Hebrew

I think most languages can be made nice sounding in music if used "right"...

 

[Terence]

If I find a decent one, yes for sure! Wish me luck in actually finding one though

Is it really that hard???

Well I wish you luck

 

[Terence]

Not many people record in Maltese, or it isn't well promoted anyway!

 

[GWTW1939]

You can hear snippet of the song in the video....even though its only background noise mostly

EUROVISION 2014 - Copenhagen

[Leydan]

Well... I don't know what to make of that?

 

[Anastasia15]

I expected better... It's still alright though

 

[QwaarJet]

Well... I don't know what to make of that?

I think my picture is a pretty appropriate response. I have no idea how to respond to that song.

 

[Odalis]

I'm confused as well...There are some instrumental parts i definitely like, i like the melody but...this chaotic arrangement kills the whole thing, i wish they revamp it, maybe?
I'm not giving any points till i hear the very final version that goes to Eurovision.

 

[Yamarus]

Boring.

 

[Leydan]

Boring.

That's as far as I've got myself. Probably add chaotic mess as well.

 

[Joni]

They really shouldn't bother travel to Denmark with this song.
