This is a huge improvement and I can clearly see the 'swedish' in it. Not a winner, but still..at least a top 15 contender compared to 'Chameleon' which was in my bottom 5. ^^ 8 points for now

I like it. It has actually more power than most entries for me and the quality of this song is really-really good.

This is a great improvement from Chameleon. While I was a little lukewarm over that song qualifying, this song has a much better chance getting through the final. The only downside to this song over Chameleon is that the instrumentals do drown out her voice a little bit, which I hope doesn't happen during the contest as she has an amazing voice. It's between 8 and 10 for me, but I gave it a 10.

As much as I liked Chameleon, I am honest enough to admit that the song wasn't a good fit for Ira Losco. The studio version was great to listen to, but the live vocals were flat and uninspired and IMO, would have put Malta's qualification for the grand final in question. Luckily, I also enjoy Walk On Water a lot and I think we should be getting a much better live performance out of Ira with this one. It should definitely make the final and has a good chance to end up somewhere inside the top 15. :)

Am I the only one who thought Chameleon was just "it". It had "the winning vibe", especially the studio version. I can't get enough of hearing it!

The new song is Ok, but not quite as good as Chameleon.

BAD performer?!

By bad performer i ment that she has nothing to offer. She lacks emotion, I can't feel a thing when watching her.She may be ok as singer, but when I say performer I think, first, of someone who gives me something, not a robot who simply sings some verses.

This is exactly what I call generic eurovision garbage. I wasn't expecting anything else from Malta or Ira Losco though xshrug

I really like it, it's the typical song hated by the fans because it's modern and edgy, but that appeals to me :D Well done Malta!

It's actually a very obvious Eurovision song. We hear several of these most years. It's neither modern or edgy. In fact it's pretty much a fanboy's dream, hence why wiwibloggs went crazy about it and it's doing well in a lot of fan polls.

I don't like the now song. Chameleon was better. But i think the new song has more possibilities to qualify because is closer to Eurovision style.

It's good and it's powerful and sassy and everything you could want in a studio version. But how will it do live? Not well I presume.

:O i told that if this wasnt the song of the decade for Malta it would go straight to my bottom 5.

But you didn't disappoint me! I LOVE THIS ONE, Such a nice instrumental, the Work of Molly Petterson hasnt gone unnoticed at hearing this song, I think is at the level of Hunger ;)

Has got a spot in my top 10 ;)

Malta this year is the same story like Albania last year.

So much drama about the song, stories about potential winner and then then first rehearsals came and people realized something else.

We must have been listening to a different artist.
Trust me, she can perform and engage well with the audience.

Decidedly NO!

Give it a rest. Like now.
I get it. You don't like the song. You don't have to (to quote Jamie) but apparently it's interesting enough for you to spam the topic every few seconds with useless comments.

Go on and quote me now too, and add constructive criticism. Like, putting a laughing emoticon.

The song is generally good. One of the better this year.
But this song I do not see enough support to vote, all over Europe... (perhaps even as Spain last year)
So I think it will not reach to top 10.
Otherwise, I personally have nothing against.
The song is melodic overcrowded at the end of a rather confused and hardly to remember
Ira is marvelous vocal .OK. That's it
