Oh Glen Vella, the chap who sings this is such a lovely Malteser, really he is! Cute as a button, he has such enthusiasm for the contest which comes across in all the interviews, he really wants to do well for Malta (he came second in their national final in 2010), and gives 110% in every performance. It's just such a shame that the song isn't stronger. We are into the mid-semi-one-lull, have a look and listen to this:
Now, it's not *bad* and there are worse songs in the first semi-final, but oh my, it's dated and oh, oh my, it's a wee bit bland to my ears at least. Malta have such enthusiasm for the contest, and have come close to winning on a couple of occasions (few will ever forget the big Chiara vs Dana International stand-off in 1998!!) but I sadly don't think they'll come anywhere near the top of the tree this year:
Danpoints out of a hundred: 15
Is it getting out of the Semi Final?: No. They've failed to qualify with better songs.
Would be better sung by: That's all I'm saying!
What Would Terry Wogan Say?: "Is it time for a drink?"

I so agree with you! I really *want* to like this too. It starts great, but then gets boring. Maybe it'll grow on me? Not sure.
