@Theo toro tks i have added you on msn :-)
Oh PLEASE ppl(MALTESE AND NOT) calm down and mind your language!!
PLEASE, all of you who are MALTESE, mind your language and don't try to impress with all your names you call others!!Believe me, MALTA is not getting any votes for all these arguments in this article. People from europe are voting for the performance not for your insults! 
So just CALM DOWN, I'm Maltese and don't want to get a bad name for my country! I'm afraid some European PPL, reading these comments are thinking that Maltese ppl are so rude with many of these words in your comments! 
Please all of you reading my comment, the MALTESE are as good hearted as a few who are always need to argue! But that's because the Maltese are really fond of ESC and we really love it! And as we don't have any neighbours we dislike ppl who are ALWAYS critizing destructively! If a few of you critize contructively, everyone would appreciate and none of these arguments would happen! So, please, leave alone the fights and keep CALM!!!
Jahasra Maltin bhali, ikkalmaw naqa, ghax qed taghmlu riklam hazin lil pajjizna u rraprzentanta taghna! Dawn hekk iridu biex ma jivvutawx lil Malta. Ahna qeghdin sew fil-voti u iktar nispiccaw sew!! Ghalhekk ikkalmaw u toqghodux taghtu kaz ta' dawn l-erba' li hin kollu jmaqdru bla skop!!!!!
SRY for being tall but I had to say it,because I was getting on my nerves with all these arguments! At last I have to wish MORENA A BIG GOOD LUCK and let on the semi and final night have some fun with VODKA!!!!!

@daniel lauss
Thanks and i was just wondering if all ppl from malta r as immature! "nobody criticises malta's entry and gets away"??? excuse me! How old r u? If any slut as you say from malta calls greeks wankers and suckers what do you think i'll do? sit and let all of you 16 year olds to insult? pfff! And for the record i never insulted maltese ppl before some of you started! So back off and grow up already!
Ahhh not agian you sons of the bitches!!! FabioAss, MongolBitch and ProjectSlut00!
Nobody criticizes Malta's entry like YOU do and gets away with it and offend Maltese in this website including Morena! I you know that your entry is SHIT then don't bother us again!! Oh and dear MongolBitch, shit is coming from your mouth every time you blable not Marsha...
Did I hear G 
on? 
Man, even I've heard of Thomas Benstem. He's everywhere in Sweden. o.O
Patrick
You know how childish it is to call ppl not to vote for a specific country? Especially if you know they deffinitely are! You honestly think that a country that has the same population with just a greek island has more talent than greece generally? Have you ever wondered why the rest of europeans vote for greece then??...huh?
@project i bet your entry wont do as good, the same old shit beat from greece, we hered to much shit from greece already, Oh & keep this in mind for a size of your island with a population of only 360,000 we deffently have much more talent then Greece believe me............
Marsha shut up, whenever you say something, crap comes crawling out of your mouth.
Patrick P
Oh dont be so bitter coz your songs usually bomb in esc while ours end up in top 10! Whatever you say you jealous lil bitch greece will quallify and malta wont! :'(
Marsha, time to dust off your dildo. You are so IN NEED...
Why do always suckers from Greece & Cyprus always against malta coments & speacialy these 2 wankers, Use ur mind guy's Dont vote for these 2 countrys The both suck.................Boy cout Greece & cyprus guys thats my opinion.....................
i'm refering to FABIO with the ITALIAN FLAG...you dumbass
I think some maltese ppl here r a lot hot tempered when others say their opinions about their song! Relax it is just a song and we r free to express our opinions! And dont say they r being rude coz i find u arguing with those who dont like it in every freakin article that has to do with morena!
@Mongol boy
Are you in love with fabio or sth?
Oh Swedish dancers........ I forgot that they are miracle workers. Not going to help poor old Malta this year.

10 Norway

Some of you are turning into witches i mean BITCHES (they ryme 
) regards the maltese entry!!!!
V for Victory....V for VODKA!!!!! Good luck Malta and rusla- I mean Morena
lol Fabio, you make my day with your comments
Cool down, bitches!
I didn't say anything negative about the Maltese song. I just said the arrangement is bad and childish. I even praised the preview-video. What else do you want? I would never say I live the song, because that's not true. I am not that fake!
- Marsha: what does Cyprus have to do here? To your knowledge, I am not Cypriot, so your comment is totally out of place. If you read carefully, other were very negative towards the Maltese song. You should show your claws to them, instead.
- John Robert 'Drama Queen' Andresen: same for you. I don't know WHY you mention Helena Paparizou. I am not Greek, and she's one of the winners I like the least, ever. What's wrong with you, people? It seems the inbreeding in your tiny island is the reason of such a progressive brain demage
I am relieved that Malta has chosen Swedish dancers. I find Maltese dancers are very stiff and they would not have been helpful to Morena. I think now, with Swedish dancers and a good choreography, Morean would surprise people. Good luck Morena
Well i have a feeling that this song with the right stage appearance can surprise and pass the semifinal.....i hope it happens Malta deserves it
"AnnaBelle participated in the Maltese selection in 2007 with 'Nightwish' "
- Couldn't believe my eyes first, thought I had read something wrong, but no
Fancy copying the name of world's best band for a song
Well it doesn't even bother me, if the dancers are foreigners or not. The best thing is, that on the stage MALTA will give an excellent stage performance!!Till mow, everything sounds good but please don't mess up the stage performance like last year!!!
GL MORENA AND VODKA
