Besides, it&#039;s very stupid of you to judge successsful people like Felix Busuttil and Mary Spiteri when you have done nothing but show how immature and shallow you are! You&#039;re hated by 90% of Malta if not more and you keep giving us reasons to do so even more. Grow up hanini :)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I took part in DIVAS and you should be utterly ashamed of yourself to be so judgmental over a show you didn&#039;t even come and watch! We worked so hard for this and have put in a great deal of sacrifice in it and for you to come and talk such bullshit about the show is utterly disghusting :) You can&#039;t go lower than this ja injoranta!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2014/03/mrs-muscat-took-her-primary-school-age-daughter-to-felix-busuttils-highly-sexualised-divas-tonight-and-its-a-school-night-too/#comment-1690829&quot;&gt;Freedom5&lt;/a&gt;.

Felix Busuttil&#039;s professionalism and hard work are, however, never questioned - although, to be honest, having a dozen foreign dancers and venturing overseas does not necessarily amount to a professional standard.

Whatever one&#039;s reactions to the performance can be, you can hardly expect them to be the same, irrespective of the sexuality of the show, implied or otherwise. 

If someone didn&#039;t like what they saw, of course they&#039;re going to assume that the lack of ovation at the end was a bad sign (though the claim that &#039;this always happens at MFCC events&#039; is not, going by my experience at least, entirely accurate.

The fact remains, though, that the show is not child-friendly, and that is the crux of the matter brought out by Mrs Caruana Galizia. 

To have Michelle Muscat bring her very young daughter along (on a school night) therefore reflects her irresponsibility, not necessarily Mr Busuttil&#039;s show itself.]]></description>

Well, I have watched it, and it was mostly crap. It was a paen to every camp gay male cliche I can imagine. In some parts its was disgustingly so, as though this is the only gay aesthetic: male and very camp.

It also seemed that the show was government-sponsored, because the amount of people there with free tickets was over the top. 

The ones around me were not very complementary. When two men danced together, erotically and with glistening bodies, it dawned on them that the show was overtly gay. Out came the comments: &quot;Mela show tal-pufti dan?&quot;]]></description>

Felix Busuttil wanted to send so many messages, like hello, we do read the news.

					<description><![CDATA[I attended the performance last night. I consider myself as rather open-minded but I was irritated by it all and wondered whether I should have spent my money elsewhere. 

As my daughter aptly put it, Mrs Muscat most probably brought her daughter along because we were supposed to be attending a dance show and not something &#039;sexual&#039;. 

Dance is dance, and though the show was called Divas, there was only one Diva, and no, that wasn&#039;t Mrs Muscat.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I remember a few years ago she brought both to the Joseph Calleja concert and sat right at the front, only to have to take them to do wee wee every five minutes.  What did she expect from toddlers?
