Engelbert Humperdinck

Julio Iglesias

Engelbert Humperdinck, the 1960s crooner, is to represent the United Kingdom in the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest.

This is British humour at its best, but what on earth made Humperdinck do it?

Majtezwel, I suppose.

Next up: the news that Spain will be represented by Julio Iglesias, and Italy by former cruise-liner crooner Silvio Berlusconi.

    Well, in Malta we also have a batch of doddering old has-beens announcing their candidature with the NEW labour movement under their brand NEW Leader and with a NEW flag no less.

    Daphne, let’s face it. Who would want to go to Baku, Azerbaijan, for the Eurovision Song Contest?

    Have you watched that video where Kurt Calleja was invited over to one of their festivals?

    The public sat in upright seats, reminiscent of a communist culture, in a big hall, more like the chinese parliament in session.

    I could not see any sense of enthusiasm whatsoever from the audience.

    Recycle, Reuse, and, Rebrand.

    (M)LP is a prime example of these three ‘R’s.

    Same old rancid dog turds in new wrappers.

      We will not Freddie Portelli to the Eurovision, then.
      We will send Re-nato, in line with the PES logo of “Re:new.”

      With Europe in turmoil, Renato’s “Mitna ta’ xejn” should be a major hit and will re-unite Europe. It is definitely Baxxter’s all-time favourite.

    This year the Italians will have a copy cat on stage. She’s called Nina Zilli and she’s the double of Amy Winehouse, or she tries to be.

    I hope she will change the look.

    Ir-regina tal-kantanti Maltin Mary ser taghmel kuragg b’dan l-artiklu llum.

    It’s because the British don’t give a hoot about the Eurovision Song Contest, so they had to scrape the barrel to find someone to represent the UK. They have got their silly X-Factor to take care of.
