Pamela is one of Malta's best singers IMO, I just hope her song isn't boring.
I also loved Nadine's 'Waves'.

Baklava were kinda cool but very amateurish last year.. and when I see who wrote "Euphoria" I can admit I'm more scared than hopefull.. Only Nadine is a name I'm really pleased to see again, since her 2006 amazing "Waves" absolutely ignored back then

Sorry, I meant on 13th January. Lawrence Gray will be singing on the 13th January. Sorry for the mistake.

I am really looking forward to hearing Lawrence Gray's song in the last semi-final next Wednesday, 13th December. Lawrence has a wonderful voice and talent. I hope he has a great song!

.. Umm
Good Luck Malta.

Cause so far all the songs have been average to poor.
I'm hoping for something with instant appeal like Malta 2005 for example :)
(chiara -angel (L) ... But 'What If We' was awful, I placed it at 18th I think.. It came even lower.

I also wish that Malta does well. I am disappointed with the songs we've heard till now. None of them is anything special. Let us hope there will be a good song tonight.

Axel, I feel exactly the same way; I want Malta to do well, but so far the songs have been really poor.

Let's hope there will be at least 1 decent song in this bunch because all the previous ones are weak, very very weak... c'mon Malta, I really want you guys to win.....

So far the best are;

1. Mirage
2. Grave dancers
