January 23, 20169 yr Author I think it takes a few listens for the full potential of Chameleon to be unleashed as the changes in production and from verse to chorus are quite subtle and it takes a couple of listens to work out the structure I think. Once it clicks though it clicks fabulously! I've been listening to Ira and Maxine all day today, the latter is very instant and I wouldn't be surprised if she took a "shock" victory.
January 23, 20169 yr Author Massive reaction for Ira, a really incredible moment! I felt like I was right in the crowd with everyone cheering wildly.
February 2, 20169 yr Author Perhaps tellingly, on the participants list on the official Eurovision website Ira's song has changed from Chameleon (looks like they dropped the Invincible) to "to be announced". There are also rumours of a special song selection show to select Ira's song for Eurovision. Or Eurovision.tv may just be aware of the rumours rather than having some official word from PBS and don't want to give out possibly wrong information. I really want them to keep Chameleon as I'm a big fan, and could do very well with a revamp. I wouldn't mind a song selection show if Ira and the Maltese broadcaster are set on one as I assume that would most likely include Chameleon so the Maltese can all vote to keep that if they wished.
February 19, 20169 yr Ten songs in contention for Ira Losco TVM confirms that Chameleon may not be Ira Losco’s song for Stockholm, and there are nine others in contention. Chameleon has been given a reworking, and will be part of a line up of ten songs to face an internal expert panel. TVM report that this jury panel will include Maltese and international experts. There will be no new national final and no public say in the decision as to which of the ten songs will be performed for Malta at Eurovision 2016. http://escxtra.com/2016/02/19/ten-songs-in...-for-ira-losco/ I love 'Chameleon' but of course if she's got something better then so be it, I hope all 10 appear on an album!
February 19, 20169 yr I think that's more or less the implication that Ira's basically just handed them the album she's set to release and asked them to pick one.
March 11, 20169 yr Author Ira's new entry to be titled 'Wow'? In hindsight in may be good she's changing her song as long as it is better than Chameleon as I'm not sure Chameleon would get through the first semi anymore!
March 11, 20169 yr Author Rumours are the song is in fact called Walk On Water and Ira is filming the music video as we speak (and yesterday too).
March 12, 20169 yr Author Ira will release her song on March 17th, looks like new best friends Malta and Bulgaria will both be waiting until after the HoD meeting to release their songs publicly.
March 16, 20169 yr Author nx2_gVkljpU Take with a pinch of salt as of course they won't slag off a song they have been granted an exclusive listen to, but they say Walk On Water is a potential winner, definite top 10, drum and bass influenced club track, sounds very professional as if it was something Australia would send and win with, leagues ahead of Sound of Silence, you can hear the Swedish influence and could imagine Molly PH singing it but fits Ira perfectly too. Well I'm excited!
March 16, 20169 yr More than ready for Ira to resume her role at the top of my rankings, last occupied in 2002.
