Malta 2019
Michela Pace - ???
Posted by: J▲hq 21st June 2018, 12:17 PM
The usual Maltese national final is no more! Their own version of The X Factor is launching for the first time from October, with the winner going on to represent them at Eurovision next year.
Well after two non-qualifications, and then Ira Losco representing them before that with a song that didn't even win the selection, it's probably a good thing to try and change things up.

No doubt the usual suspects that turn up in their NF every year will all just enter X Factor this year instead then

Exciting

They're into the live shows now and the current favourite for the crown is Michela Pace who delivered this performance of LP's Lost On You

The Maltese representant is decided tonight

Michela Pace wins the first season of X Factor Malta and will represent the country in Tel Aviv.

Seen bits of her performances on Twitter, she has a great voice. It's got a unique edge but power as well, but she can be a bit strained at times I noticed. Hopefully she gets a song that really fits her and does it justice.
I'm still mad Christabelle was robbed of the final tbh

Tick tock Malta!
Although there is a rumour that the song they've picked is the one that Poli Genova and another vocalist nearly represented Bulgaria with last year and ~ a select few ~ fans got the demo of but we'll see if it comes to that.

YES MALTA
Posted by: Liаm 10th March 2019, 05:10 PM
THAT DROP
Omgggg this is a SERVE *.* This might challenge for my fave with more listens, bloody hell I did not expect that.
Posted by: Alex! 10th March 2019, 05:12 PM
omg, this is EVERYTHING. 
Malta did not come to play.
Posted by: Liаm 10th March 2019, 05:13 PM
I'm actually so shook because of all countries you just don't expect Malta to come up and potentially snatch a fave
Posted by: LexC 10th March 2019, 05:16 PM
High key a bop and that video’s so ~expensive~
Posted by: AdamAloud 10th March 2019, 05:16 PM
Nicosia right now

Oh my goodness, what a BANGAROO!!!
Posted by: ScottyEm 10th March 2019, 05:31 PM
Well slap me across the face and call me Derek!
Malta take all my points! Move along Tamta, mooovvvve along.
Posted by: Moses 10th March 2019, 05:35 PM
This blows the Cypriot entry way out of the water. This is as good as any X-Factor winner’s first big release. I’d love to see this win and if Cyprus can come 2nd then Malta can return to such heights themselves.
Posted by: Liаm 10th March 2019, 05:40 PM
I could easily see this being the Fuego of the year, it's a bloody magnificent pop song that's very current but it has a bit of a quirk to it with the drop. As long as she's good live (which from what I've seen is no issue, ofc an uptempo song with a bigger performance is more pressure) and has good staging this is surely going to do very well??
Posted by: Jonjo 10th March 2019, 05:42 PM
PULL THRU MALTA!! OMG
Posted by: Ryan. 10th March 2019, 05:42 PM
There's a Dua Lipa quality to her voice which I hadn't heard before, this is absolutely fantastic from Malta!
Posted by: Moses 10th March 2019, 05:43 PM
Dua Lipa wishes she was releasing this as her new single tbh
Posted by: gooddelta 10th March 2019, 05:45 PM
Yeah this is definitely taking a lot of Cyprus’ votes, oops. Brilliant entry, their best in ages! I used to stan Malta a lot in the 00s but they lost their way a lot this decade.
Posted by: Liаm 10th March 2019, 06:25 PM
Omg no wonder this is such a banger, the writing credits for Joacim Persson who is one of the writers for Chameleon include:
Kelly Clarkson - Run Run Run
Charice - Pyramid
Aura Dione - Geronimo
Ashley Tisdale - It's Alright, It's OK
Mandy Capristo - The Way I Like It
S Club 8 - Sundown
*.* *.* *.*
as well as Body Language by Heidi Montag *_*

I DID NOT
EXPECT
*THAT*
DROP
!!!
Completely blown away. This is beyond. Speechless.
Posted by: Conanderella 10th March 2019, 09:01 PM
Valetta right now (at the thought of possibly having to host)
Posted by: Cameron 12th April 2019, 03:21 PM
Working with the same person behind Loreen's staging for Euphoria.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 13th April 2019, 08:06 PM
Could it be finally Maltas year, its prob the country that most wants to win it.
Posted by: BillyH 20th April 2019, 07:21 PM
This is my favourite out of the few I've listened to so far (I like to always save at least some for the contest itself) - I think out of all the main top 10 contenders it works best as an actual finished song, rather than the feeling you're missing bits that the staging/performance will fill in on the night. If 'Satellite' can win then I wouldn't rule this one out, and Malta so deserve a win after so long!
Posted by: Mart!n 20th April 2019, 08:46 PM
OMG... Valetta to host next year... this is amazing, and I'm planning a holiday to Malta next year 
I'm going...
This year's... "Fuego" 
Posted by: ScottyEm 20th April 2019, 11:48 PM
This is easily my favourite this year. That drop is absolute dynamite! The response from the fans is lukewarm, but I put down to that the fact that those over 40 are not getting the liking the drop. As long as staging compliments the song, this is gonna eat up the youth vote and juries will vote for it because it’s bloody Malta.
Posted by: xajnipi 21st April 2019, 12:04 AM
As a Maltese'r' myself... may I ask why (I've seen this before in other rooms), there seems to be a thought that Maltese are favoured by the jury vote? Ira Losco asides, when did Malta benefit from Jury votes?
and yes I agree... we so want to win this... it's a yearly major event for the country If we ever win, the singer/s will probably be proclaimed a saint '

If we ever win, the singer/s will probably be proclaimed a saint 'Malta have comfortably scored a top ten place with the jury in every semi final since 2009 when the jury panel was reintroduced.
Posted by: xajnipi 21st April 2019, 12:14 AM
Thanks, Wow! I never knew this.... and considering how patriotic the country is toward Eurovision, it's strange that here we never mention this... sadly singers who don't qualify to finals, often fall from grace. Do you know where I can see such info, inc. positions, year-by-year?
Posted by: ScottyEm 21st April 2019, 08:56 AM
Wikipedia - check the scoreboards for each year. Walk On Water won the jury vote in its semi final.
Posted by: Cameron 28th April 2019, 04:25 PM
She can SING this yassssss
Posted by: Alex! 28th April 2019, 04:28 PM
This is going to be so good!
we going to top 10, malta!
