Malta MALTA 2019 - Michela Pace - Chameleon

[Ezio]

Too many countries try to emulate Fuego. It's the worst idea in the year after Fuego.

How is that similar to Fuego, except it has a dance-vibe and a drop? That's really annoying to see every banger compared to Fuego.. Just because that song finished 2nd last year doesn't mean you can't send dance pop songs this year.

The amount of bangers this year compared to last year is like 1000:1. Only dead fish swim with the stream.

I've just listened to this song, and my first impression was:

*first 50 seconds or so* OMG I LOVE THIS!!
*in the chameleon part* :? I don't like this
*repeat these two reactions until the end of the song*

Ok, despite I don't like the chorus, I love so much the rest of the song that I can 'forgive' it

Well, now I'm not sure about my 12 pointer. Italy was there and I thought it would remain there, but this might change...

THE GOOD:
-I like the clever lyrics.
-I also like the ethnic parts of the song.

THE BAD:
-It gets sort of repetitive towards the end.

THE VERDICT:
Well, it took them long enough. Until just now, I didn't know whether or not Malta was going to do anything. Now that they have, it seems that Michela here has a good song here. Although it is never a good idea to go with something that did good last year. Oh well. Good song in the meantime. 8 points

 

[Ausesken]

Btw I love the last 20 seconds
And it only took a 2nd listening to start enjoying the 'Chameleon' part too haha. Yeah, I think this deserves my 12 points.

Another pointless ethno banger that just grates on me. Only Switzerland have done a good job with this genre.

3 points.

Switzerland is challenging for my right now which I never thought would happen after KEiiNO won MGP - totally agree that Luca has got it bang on

Yes come come. I did the same Sorry KEiiNO

KEiiNO who? yesterdays news. As one would put it, dead in a ditch. The party moved on to Switzerland.

Oh dear lord! If I hear / see "Fuego 2.0" "Fuego copy" or anything similar again this year I will jump out of a window!

Just because a song is modern and sung by a female does not mean it is copying Eleni

 

[Leydan]

Fuego copy

 

[Ausesken]

While I do see a lot of similarities between Replay and Fuego, I agree that some comparisons made recently are just non-sense... like this. I'd say it reminds me more of other songs that Malta has sent to Eurovision than to Fuego

 

[Mrm]

Keiino will be a flop of the year, just as I expected...it smells (stinks) on a fanwank..

 

[BorisBubbles]

Oh shut up.

 

[DenizESC]

Fuego had a beat drop, this has a beat drop. Coincidence?
I think not! A clear copy.

Fuego had lyrics
Chameleon has lyrics

Both 3 minutes long

You might be onto something

Wasn't expecting something like this, surprisingly good entry. Reminds me of something like Dua Lipa or... *checks notes, clears throat* Fuego by Eleni Foureira

 

[Alaska49]

i would not mind the fuego comparisons if for each one of them people also compared the multitude of male ballads to either nobody but you or you let me walk alone

but no of course they only go there to compare the two black guys to each other lol

 

[VikingTiger]

Malta sending something I actually enjoy?? Hasnt happened in a looooong time...
I quite like this! Took me 2 listenings to enjoy the Chameleon parts as well. Not sure it will be enough to enter my top 10 though, as for now it's outside with 7 points. But definitely the best of what came on the last day.
