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​

That Electro Velvet comparison is really an insult to Destiny and this song.

Sadly, it is an electro swing. It is going to be comparable with Electro Velvet, objectively speaking.

Electro Velvet didn't really have any electro swing. It was just shit.

 

[Realest]

So much worse than last Year. All the Waiting for Nothing. 2 Points.

Good point!

 

[Flamenkax]

Downgrading a tiny bit from All of my Love, which was imo an instant hit.

BUT this one is really, really, really great. The structure is quite awesome, no weak moments, the charleston-drop is fun (could have been annoying af, but it's not), and Destiny is still a really talented singer. I feel like i could hear the song two or three times in a row without boring me.
So imma give it a for now, in any case this will go FAR.

Not quite sure about the song title though lol

 

[Mimmon]

Okay....
Malta clearly wants to win...
I can see this actually be in Top 5 for sure....

 

[Edweis]

DEAAAAAAD not Destiny using french to break up.

Okay now I can see why wiwi used these comparisons, there're so many things going on in this song. I somehow think this entry is more genuine, it suits her more as a whole. However, while I still love her voice and singalong in the chorus, I'm not convinced by this song, it's hard to find a real hook. It will be between 6 and 7 for now

 

[Journalist]

Not my cup of tea.. 5 points for now ofc

 

[harey]

I was so surprised by the title of the song. French getting hotter.

 

[empo21]

Biiiiiiiitch did not expect this from Malta :OOOOOOOOOOO

I love everything except the trumpet drop. I was about to bop to the song and it just stopped me on my tracks :// It loses so much momentum during the drop

 

[Jopi]

So so bad. If this was UK, bottom3. Wow... what a downgrade..

 

[Ianp16]

This is FAB. I think UK televote will love this if it's staged right.

 

[John1]

OMG THE SONG TITLE'S IN FRENCH AND I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO STAN

 

[tararaaam]

It got something, and quite much potential for doing rather well in May...It’s an 8 from me

 

[Mainshow]

This will not win. This might end up Top 5 with the juries but I can smell it getting a total of 15 pts in the televoting (from which 8 are British) xD

 

[Anthony Tesla]

Not bad, but... IDK: it's competent, well-produced, Destiny's voice is just amazing, but I kinda feel I have heard this song already like 5 or 6 times already.

5 points.

 

[theditz83]

Omg this is soooo me! Yes Malta!!! The sass is oozing out of my every pore!

First instant I've given this year - finally! (Greece is about to be upgraded to as well though...)

Maybe this will be the one I'm cheering on the whole contest. Took you long enough Europe - plenty of good songs, but has finally served the instant piece of spice that I needed. Destiny, you nailed it sis

I wish the Drop was better but I'm happy she tried something different. This shows that she is actually very youthful and fun. Last year a lot of people thought she's around 40 years old
Having said that I have to get used to seeing Destiny as a woman and not that little girl that won the Junior contest. Just feels weird seeing her seductive like that.

I'll give it points. Not the winner I was hoping for but Top 10 material with the right staging and I can see myself going back to it every now and then.

 

[AlekS]

Not a fond of the visuals and swing, I wish it could be more trap/bouncey tho, kudos for trying something different.

She does look to be in her late 30's in this video. If it works for her that's what matters
