Re: MALTA 2016 - Ira Losco - Chameleon

No, it's both the artist and song, but the rules say that they can change the song if they wish.

There's no need to change Ira's song because it's enough powerful and smart to make it through the final imo.

They might not change it though, it's just there if they decide they want to. They had the rule last year as well.

This rule should've been applied to Albanian selection process since their début...

In my opinion, definitely a finalist and may rank higher than 10th, but just not my cup of tea. So, 6 points for now.

This is completely random, but I found it interesting that you're from China, living in Cuba, and a fan or Eurovision. Haha.

Re: MALTA 2016 - Ira Losco - Chameleon

It's like a mash-up of :se: in 2012 and :es::se: in 2015, not saying this is a rip-off, it's just that a lot of pop music sounds the same nowadays and especially Eurovision songs. I actually like the song, even though it falls flat in some parts it really feels strong in other parts. She was awful live though. I give this entry 8 points.

The best possible option won so can say I'm satisfied. With some corrections and little improvements on stage this can do very well
And no doubt Ira is great singer

Re: MALTA 2016 - Ira Losco - Chameleon

To be honest, in this case I wish the selection was for the song and not the artist. I quite like Chameleon as a song, and Ira's voice works well with it on the studio version, but she seems completely unable to perform it live in a way that sounds vaguely like the studio version.

They must keep it as it is... do you remember last year? Amber destroyed her own song with revamp and stays in semi. 12p from me.

Re: MALTA 2016 - Ira Losco - Chameleon

Out of the songs in the NF this deserved to win. However it could use a revamp. And to be honest I'd say I still prefer "That's why I love you". The performance was more intimate and Ira sounded much more genuine singing that.

Hope she loses that veil for the contest. Looks like she's off to get married to some mafia mobster. The songs quite decent though and she's as charming as ever. 8 pts on first hearing

Re: MALTA 2016 - Ira Losco - Chameleon

It's just another generic modern Eurovision song that sounds like Heroes and Glorious, with maybe a bit of Euphoria, but adds nothing of its own to the formula.

It's the same song that Ireland are sending and probably what Lithuania will send (through Donny). I can remember very little about any of these three songs, despite listening to two of them this morning.

Remembering a song isn't always a nice asset for a song because those could make you remind the melody...
I know it's a bit blurry but see Aina Mun Pitta, everyone could remember it but that was a shitty song..

I don't think you can convincingly spin a song being entirely unremarkable into a positive.

No, but he's really really trying. :lol:

I would disagree. I really like Nicky & Donny's songs but this one just seems really dull and doesn't seem to be memorable whatsoever. I feel that may change with a bit more production, but at the moment I cannot even remember the tune or main lyrics which is not good for an entry at all.

Re: MALTA 2016 - Ira Losco - Chameleon

I often see your posts in those different parts of the forum, and NOTHING does work for you...

Because I don't really like any of the songs so far. Don't blame me, blame the songs! :D
