Emma Muscat - I Am What I Am - Malta 🇲🇹 - Official Music Video - Eurovision 2022

Emma Muscat will represent Malta at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin with the song 'I Am What I Am'.
Her trip to Eurovision won’t be Emma’s first time performing in Italy. In fact, the Maltese singer and songwriter has already carved out an impressive career for herself as a recording artist in the Mediterranean country. In 2018 she participated in the long-running Italian talent show, Amici di Maria De Filippi, reaching a grand final that drew a TV audience of just under 5 million viewers.

~~~~~ Lyrics ~~~~~
Everytime I fall down
Soon as I hit the ground
Remind me who I am yeah
And I get back up again
Getting up getting up - yeah
This is my master plan
I'm gonna take a stand
Take it or leave it
I am what I am
I believe that I can
I'm gonna take command
Take it or leave it
I am what I am
I am what I - am
I am what I - am
Bending backwards trying to fit in
I´ll make them understand - yeah
Take it or leave it
I am what I am
Devils inside my head - yeah
Late at night in my bed - yeah
Its time I shut you up, yeah
Coz I think I´ve had enough
I’ve had enough, had enough, yeah
This is my master plan
I'm gonna take a stand
Take it or leave it
I am what I am
I believe that I can
I'm gonna take command
Take it or leave it
I am what I am
I am what I - am
I am what I - am
Bending backwards trying to fit in
I´ll make them understand - yeah
Take it or leave it
I am what I am
Uh yeah
oh uh
I am what I am
I am what I am
This is my master plan
I'm gonna take a stand
Take it or leave it
I am what I am
I believe that I can
I'm gonna take command
Take it or leave it
I am what I am
I am what I - am
I am what I - am
Bending backwards trying to fit in
I´ll make them understand - yeah
Take it or leave it
I am what I am
Thanks to participating broadcaster PBS.

It already happened a few years ago but it's really weird to me. The real winner wasn't Emma Muscat, it was her song.

[@gg454lune]

But I like this song (a little) more than the first one.

[@escspirit5532]

I don't understand Eurovision fans. Nothing is good for them! Literally ANYWHERE you could read about the hatred towards Out of Sight and that Ritmu didn't win. Now here's an amazing song by Emma and everyone: IT'S UNFAIR TO CHANGE THE SONG!!!!!!?! What the f*ck?

[@some_random_dude13]

You know, a lot of eurovision fans have weird expectations

[@maricaattard1669]

Thank you!!.... My thought exactly. I think Malta is underestimating this song. Which is better.... They drove the change of song with their comments which in my opinion it is still a great song if not better. I'm sure will do well.

[@ppotera]

I am sorry that Malta didn't reach the final, I think she deserved it more than many of the other participants. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱🇲🇹

[@degerdaldal8070]

If Emma Muscat had agreed to compete with the song "Out of sight", I am sure she would have had more chances to qualify but unfortunately she made a big mistake by following her fans' and other people's advice in order to change the song. Emma Muscat is really a perfect singer but unfortunately her fans did her harm by asking her to change the song.. If her fans had really liked her, they would not have asked Emma Muscat to make such a risky decision. Unfortunately no one could not appreciate the value of the song "Out of Sight". No one could understand that "Out of Sight" was better and a more different song than "I am what I am".I will never forgive her fans.

Beautiful? Ha!

[@nataliafrancisti]

I've been cheering on Malta since Ira Losco belted out "7th Wonder" in 2002. Malta has sent so many beautiful and strong entries ever since then. In these times when so many of us are dealing with various issues in everyday life, Emma's song "I Am What I Am" is so inspirational. We are all different and what we are should be enough! I'd just like to quote Patrick Swayze from Dirty Dancing: "No one put baby in the corner." No one should put Emma in the corner, she should be on centre stage and shining 🌟

Unfortunately, it is one of the songs that we will not be able to watch in the final this year. Even their amazing song from last year didn't give them the first place. Countries with a small population do not have much chance in the popular vote. but this year's song of them doesn’t seem to compete in the final either. Good luck.

I dont understand that this song did not reach the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, and the song of S10 did. Unbelievable..

[@thatdutchie]

Now im curious, why is this song better dan the one of S10? Personally I think that the act of S10, the staging and the singing is better. However, I dont wanna say that this song is bad cause its definitely not. I actually liked this one. But she wasn’t very good live (might be of the nerves). The staging was amazing and fitted the message of the song. I personally would have loved to see this in the final instead of Serbia of Romania.

[@thatdutchie]

But to reply on your opinion, this could not beat S10. But its a song from the same level and it truly deserved to go through. Difference has been made of the prestation live in semi 1/2.
