HELLO FROM MALTA!!!

Im maltese and i am MAAAD after HERO... its soo amazing... I mean, her voice is just perfect... and when I hear her hit those high notes i get shivers. Its like one of the best songs EVER in eurovision in these last 5 years. This is the first time that I really get MAD after and ESC song, But i cant help it, the song is amazing, catchy- beaty - lyrics are nice too - the tune is perfect for charlotte , charlotte is then more perfect than the song itself... she has such a stunning voice... amazing! the performance is also very strong with those classic moves, model steps, lasers etc [though i think that at the end some fireworks should be added to be really a BOOOOM song... leaves you openmouthed] ... the background screen is also very nice with the waterfall explosion when the refrain strats... nothing more to say... simply;

GOOOO CHARLOTTTEEE !!!!!! THEEE BEEEEST
[btw. all my family will vote for her, altogether we add up to a nice 34 votes, ALL FOR SWEEEDEEEN!!!!!] (sweden will definately get a lot of voted from Malta]

CYA.
Patrick, SUUUUPER esc fan

princess engla you are a very hateful person...you critize and insult people you do not know and you have the audacity to call people racists..look whos talking...your comments show your personality and what kind of a human you really are..ignorant and bias...good luck in life..you will need it if you continue with that kind of attitude.

Princess Engla, go out (if you are authorized to leave the mental asylum for a while) and buy the biggest dildo available at the Swedish sex-shops. And then, go into the bathroon and put it up all your holes. You REALLY need it.

Btw, everybody is aware you are the BITCH in this website!

If you can read oddchecker then you can read Sweden has better overall bettings than Greece! I cannot under why Greece the fifth place and not Sweden! Anyone her who knows why?

Not that it has anything to do with Charlotte speaking to esctoday, but I think the Greek song is very lame and very repeatative ... It never ends ... It just goes on and on and on ...

BOHHHH for GREECE! THE MOST RACIST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!!

I used to love Kalomira and her song! But from now I hate her!

Kalomira is a teenage whore! The song is pathetic bad!

Charlotte will probably get through to the finals but it would be a surprise to me if she actually won. Still, she's got a catchy song and she's a charming singer, so good luck to her!

I' m afraid our entry this year is very overrated on this site. In most Swdish polls, only about 10% of the voters think Charlotte will win. Good luck to her though-it will be some exciting nights!

She's the best! But I fear she'll be robbed...ESC these days you know!

Of course because Sebastien is a true artist and brings something new and fresh in the contest. But i wouldnt be angry if someone was bashing kalomoira. Because i know she doesnt bring anything new or quality in the contest.

Plus its one thing supporting your countrys entry and another insulting every other country. Thats what they ve been doing in every article so long, so they must be ready to get something back.

Just chill out for God sake.... It's only a SONGcontest. And nelive me, it's only a few horrible swedes here (always the same) because most of them are very very nice. And I must admit if people here would be slagging off Sebastien fron France, I would be angry asell. If Charlotte looks like an alien or being Miss Universe, it's a songcontest. Not a beauty contest, and if there is one thing you can not say about Charlotte, is that she can not sing because she has one of the best voices this year...

@marc x...oh yes u r right i am sorry...then i have to say the perelli is great, her song is not rubbish, the swedes in here r not the most racist fans and the perelli does not look like my vomit....

Oh now u got me.

(i hate paparizou more than anything, i dont even prefer kalomoira this year...but perelli will always look uglier than pus on my ass, more stupid than my ashtray and her song more dissonant than the farts of an 80 year old after a night in a mexican reastaurant)

@marc x

Both Kalomira and Helena released their first solo cds in the same time (summer 2004)
Plus, we don't want racist tourists, but normal people


marc x [47152]

And more stop insulting possible tourist because next to that (tourism) there is not much left.... And I do know being married to a Greek.

I'm reading these comments, and I am suffering from a massive ROLF! :)

Chillax, people. We have a long way to go. Most imporantly, this is only a song contest. It's not like we're dealing with some heavy political stuff.

@vn,

Did you guys not borrow that other one hit wonder Helena Paparizou from Sweden ????

I can see Charlotte getting through to the final and probably ending up about 5th. Oh well, we will see. Sweden will get a lot of UK votes as usual.
