This song is boring, and Matt you are right, there is no highlight in this song. So, the most viewers will forget it after hearing it. :|
Thea Garrett, representing Malta at the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest in Oslo, Norway, has become the latest victim in Grace Borg's quest against PBS. The former head of Malta Eurosongboard has, according to Times of Malta, filed a garnishee order of €18,000 against the young woman, effectively freezing her assets, for allegedly breaching an exclusivity contract.
Grace Borg claims that she is still manager of the 18 year old that took Malta by storm during the Eurosong final earlier this year and should therefore be directly involved in all of her performances and her Eurovision Song Contest participation. After several legal battles against PBS, this is believed that this is the first time that Grace Borg has targetted a Eurovision Song Contest representative directly.
Times of Malta report:
"Last Friday, on the eve of Thea's departure to Oslo, Ms Borg filed a garnishee order of €18,000 against the young woman, effectively freezing her assets, for allegedly breaching an exclusivity contract.
"Ms Borg had first pushed Thea into sharing the stage with Italian star Gigi D'Alessio in Rome. After she won the Eurosong festival and made a deal with PBS, Ms Borg came forward insisting she is still the singer's manager and should be involved.
"The saga promises to continue in Norway as Ms Borg, together with business partner Andrea Milana, yesterday issued a statement saying they will be watching how the PBS team handles the situation and if they feel they are not delivering they will be held responsible. Ms Borg and Mr Milana are not ruling out the possibility of being present in Oslo themselves.
"The statement ends: "We wish Thea the best as it is also in our interest. At no time did we want to hinder this success."
"The timing of the garnishee order has dampened Thea's enthusiasm, but she wipes her tears, puts on a brave face and refuses to let anyone rob her of her dream."

this year, malta won't even be saved by the juries im afraid.
Good luck Malta. Thea has a great voice and they made the best out of this rather average and bland ballad. I still don't think it's going to be enough to make the cut but you never know. At least they're trying their best and that is all you can ask for.
She'll probably be somewhere on the border. I personally like the song, but it's to cliche, and too oldfashioned. The juries might help her. Well we'll see tonight. Thea is a great singer, but I think she deserved a better entry.

If this boring sleeping pill and awful angel performance qualifies, I will shoot myself 
It should be last to teach Malta to send anything different than the classic Maltese boring ballad :ugeek:

The performance was great but not enough to save poor little Malta. I guess there's no more chance for Malta to do well, unless Chiara returns once again and threatens she'll eat a few people in the event of missing the final, or...they change the style of the songs (2007 & 2008 didn't work, however ).
).

I think she sang beautifully and she overcame her nerves from the national final performance to the ESC stage. However, the song was very weak and a total cliche and I believe that is why Malta was dismissed.

And what to say about that lyrics??? Where did they get them? From some self-help book? Cause it seems so. Awful lyrics.

The song was dull. We can't blame Thea, cause she did a perfect job, but nothing could be done with this song. We should blame the song and the angel instead
