You mean the TATU show? Wonderful! Is it OK to have a ‘thing’ for that bubbly redhead?

Well done, Chiara – you just have shown what we thought from the very beginning – it was all voice but no song. I think there is a whole mafia behind the this song for Europe. What is needed is a total clean-out – committee and judges. We need fresh young minds and judges and also new songwriters. We are tired of seeing the same old people again and again – ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

There were less than a handful of real songs in this competition, of which Malta’s song was in the first 2 positions. The perfomance was flawless. All Maltese people are going to be disappointed, not because Malta didn’t win, but because the points rewarded were such a poor reflection of the actual merit due. Many people will be clamouring for Malta to drop out of the Eurovision song contest. However, one should bear in mind that Malta made it well into the finals as opposed to other countries. To me Malta’s song was so beautiful that we can hold our head up high and disount the contest as a travesty of fairness of true talent. In my mind Malta has won all possible honours. Thank-you Chiara, you have truly done me proud. I hope my compatriots are able to see things in my same perspective and take this farce in their stride as they do so many other more serious ones in the local political sphere.

I hope the technical problems of the semi-final performance will have been resolved for Chiara’s performance tonight. She couldn’t hear herself singing. At one moment, when she moved her head to the rythmn, her movements over-anticipated her musical entry. If she can retain naturalness, and the clarity and dynamic variation of her exquisite voice, adding personality to a flawless performance, she will have achieved all she can do in a horserace of eight-ten honest contenders. I like to compare Chiara to my highest regard for Mama Cass. I enjoyed her duo with Joseph Calleja. Perhaps, Chiara can combine the best of Miriam Gauci and Mama Cass–but Chiara’s voice, of her own, is often simply angelic. I just hope she has everything going her way with her performance–and anything can go wrong. With a suberb performance, and a very high-quality show, it would make for a satisfying evening, regardless of the outcome. Best wishes.

Been following this festival of kitsch, what with cheesy jokes and inane remarks delivered by idiotic hosts trying to convince us that there is chemistry flowing between them. Am I the only one who find these people unamusing, or is this old age?

BBC3 presenter said that it cost Russia 30m to stage this event. I wonder how Malta will rustle up that kind of cash?
