This was the biggest letdown for me last night. I still love the song, but the staging was to messy and too many ideas for my taste. The video is so cool and sophisticated but this is too junior.

As far as song goes, it's a top. 10 for me, but the performance was lackluster... I can clearly see she isn't ready for this and felt awkward on stage... she can sing alright, but she moves likes a refrigerator and the backdrop visuals are just a mess in this performance (a good example when they are distractions rather than used to advantage of the entry). Still though deserved to qualify but I think it will do worse than some expected in the finals based on the performance and staging alone.

Uninteresting, bland, but foremost annoying entry.

It was so nerve wrecking to watch her getting announced as the last finalist. I believe she is also facing immense pressure. I mean she is the first Malta X Factor winner and there is so much hype around her. And her promotional campaign is huge compared to the other entries. Plus Malta has missed the finals twice in a row. If she failed to qualify, I am sure the Maltese delegation would be disappointed. But I am so glad she went through. The song itself deserves a spot in the finals.
I don't get why people think she looked nervous, I think she looked fine. She is not a dancer, so naturally her moves are more wooden. They just need to fix the camera shots by not focusing on her when she needs to do the routine, that will do the trick. Vocally wise, she can be better, but it's not shoddy by any means. A very well deserved finalist. And can I say, she is only 18 years old, but she hold herself very well during the press conference. Her answers are very good, unlike some couple who was also announced last as a finalist.

This was the worst song in the semi. It seems as if my downstairs neighbour was chosen to go to ESC and try her luck. How amateurish, bland and... nothing? :? Even worse than Cyprus.
Aw, it's sad that viewers did not appreciate Malta. It seems like my votes for Malta were in vain, 0 televote points from Russia. :?
But one good thing still remains: Malta and Russia exchanged quite good jury points. It's nice.

Only thing worse than this was Madonna.
Clearly she wasn't fit for the task. It must be hard to find real professional performers in Malta to do this kind of thing, of course, but maybe they should have set their aims for doing what's within their resources, and putting on this kind of production was above them, simply.
