Malta MALTA 2021 - Destiny - Je Me Casse

[escYOUnited]

Babe, are you hiding? Are you alright?
You look like an angel, that fell from the sky
And boy you keep talkin', massaging my ego
With your unoriginal pickup line

Hell no, I'm not your honey
Hell no, I don't want your money
Got it wrong, I ain't into dummies
No-o-o-o

So baby, it's not a maybe
Yeah, I'm too good to be true, but there's nothing in it for you
So if I show some skin, it doesn't mean I'm giving in
Not your baby

Je me casse, je me casse
If you don't get it (Je me casse)
Je me casse, je me casse
I'm not your baby

Boy, are you pouring that drink in my hand?
Thinking if I'm drunk then, I'll give you a chance
Boy, you keep buying and complaining so stop trying
Not gonna give it up and change my plans

Hell no, I'm not your honey
Hell no, I don't want your money
Got it wrong, I ain't into dummies
No-o-o-o

So baby, it's not a maybe
Yeah, I'm too good to be true, but there's nothing in it for you
So if I show some skin, it doesn't mean I'm giving in
Not your baby

Je me casse, je me casse
If you don't get it (Je me casse)
Je me casse (Je-je-je me casse)
If you don't...

Ladies, if you feel like flaunting tonight, it’s alright, it's alright
Ladies (Ladies), listen to me!
Listen and go right ahead, show you're shining

If you don't get it, if you, if you dont' get it (Je me casse)
If you don't get it, if you, if you don't get it
Excuse my French

Baby, it's not a maybe
Yeah, I'm too good to be true, but there's nothing in it for you
So if I show some skin, it doesn't mean I'm giving in
Not your baby

Je me casse
Je-je-je me casse
I'm not your baby​

 

[GermanBango]

She is so in it to win it.

 

[Preuss]

She's a contender for sure, with room for improvements when it comes to the vocals as there were some issues there... otherwise, this was really good. Wouldn't mind seeing it in the top 3

 

[Sammy]

She was the only one who really met the expectations tonight. Flawless, powerful, charismatic. Well done Destiny. Looking forward to saturday.

 

[simonPL]

I don't get the hype. I can't even croon her song. Nothing special.

Being Netta 2021 is too little to win (lol) or even be in the top 5.

 

[Brandt]

I love the song, but I am not really fond of the singer herself.

 

[gingerale]

I really loved the song after the release but somehow it left me cold tonight. The official video raised my expectations. Like Chameleon in 2019.

 

[Franzilein]

The backings from the studio really didn't help here, felt like they overpowered her voice in the last third of the song (which is ridiculous, Destiny rocks it). Great performance overall!

 

[Nicholas123]

I don't like the song at all, but damn. Her voice and cool attitude on stage are everything. Give credit where credit's due.

 

[ag89]

By far the best vocalist tonight. She is also charismatic. The song and presentation is still pretty average, but I believe Malta has a chance to win.

 

[Chorizo]

I'm surprised this is in second place in the odds now. I don't think that this will be a big success in the televote on Saturday. It rather looks like a jury magnet. The juries will vote for the message it sends, similar to Netta three years ago. What it lacks to succeed in the televote is a catchy chorus and the over-the-top goofiness that Netta brought to the stage to entertain the crowd.

 

[A-lister]

Congrats, not in my personal top. 10 but expected and deserved qualification of course.

Great vocal delivery, but something still leaves me cold with this, there is little authenticity in the song and staging but at least Destiny was a bit flirty and came across as having fun with it so that was a plus to see because from what I understood from people who've followed the rehearsals, she seemed like she was a bit uncomfortable?

 

[0scar]

This looked like a winner performance to me for sure??
It was amazing

 

[Grinch]

Destiny's stage presence is no joke

 

[DenizESC]

This girl is only 18! What a talent.

 

[NikolaiMoller]

DESTINY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT A PERFORMANCE

THE ATTITUDE

THE VOCALS

SHE IS 18?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we might have a winner

 

[theditz83]

Her performance was amazing, she'll grab a lot of support on the night for sure from both juries and public voters. But there are so many different "favourites" that I guess it's all going to come down to the performance on the night and who nails it. Destiny was my #1 tonight, followed by The Roop and then Manizha

 

[FoxOfShadows]

This isn't getting top 4 in the televotes, not with the hype behind Italy, Lithuania, Iceland, and now Ukraine. That doesn't mean it's out of the competition, it'll depend on how the juries rank the other televote favourites

 

[Jonaxh]

This was never a song I loved, but wow girl! That part "Ladies listen to me..." that's a winner moment! Excelent!

 

[FilipFromSweden]

I think this one will win on Saturday. Three reasons:

1. It's the most 2021 entry, modern and fresh.
2. Juries will love it
3. Public will love it as well

 

[DanielLuis]

This was way, way better than what I was expecting based on the rehearsals reviews. Destiny really has a natural charisma and a killer voice.
The song just isn't there for it to be a winner though, it really has no winner vibes, don't know how else to describe it.
