SIRENA IS THE BEST PACKAGE AND BEST BASE TO ENHANCE ON

[@lelie6830]

Rooting for Mara and Sirena. ❤

[@zsokapados5197]

Sirena is definitely my favourite too! Erba or Denise for the win, but realistically it's between Matt Black and Ryan Hili.

[@DAS.AMA.]

How much Sirena do you want? Me: Yes

[@ESCHielito]

Sirena and Loop are definetly my favs to win!, Some rlly good potential if they work on their performances! 😍… Though must mention out of all the ballads i also love Breathe and at this moment i think it would be the best option if they want to go that route!

[@coolginger5540]

SIRENA FOR THE WIN!! I'm so obsessed with the song, love it!😍

[@alephunk]

All these sites with ERBA leading the favorites pools, and some reaction videos like yours, are making me dream so bad, but realistically I think it’s between Banana and Karma unfortunately. Dreamers can dream though so I’ll keep having hope that we’ll see these girls in Malmo next year!

[@guillermomendoza9452]

I LOVE SIRENA! in bucle in my playlist

[@ds5379]

My views: Sirena is probably the best shot for Malta if we are not going to go down the 'taking the piss' route - in which case that would be Banana. Banana however does run the risk of being accused of being a mish mash of many eccentric/joke entries - Subwoofer, Katarina, Little Big etc... Sirena can be amazing with a revamp (both lyrically and instrumentally but don't touch that haunting Maltese language chorus!). It's the type of ethnic song Eurovision viewers would lap up - like Pasha Parfeni's Soarele Si Luna last year. I have to say - Topic is my guilty pleasure, I can't get enough of it. It's experimental and self indulgent at the same time. Vocally it's not the best but it's a drag show in a 3 minute song. Also not sure about the appeal of drag on the Eurovision stage. Verka is the closest we got to a drag Eurovision winner act. Ryan Hili's Karma is the safe choice. I mean, safe choices can be finalists if well performed - I mean, we had both Cyprus and Lithuania in the final last year. Ryan Hili is reminding me a lot Andrew Lambrou, without the Adonis looks to add a few brownie points.

[@sav0001]

Have you forgotten about Conchita Wurst?

[@ds5379]

@@sav0001 oh yes I forgot. But Conchita also had a very "vanilla" song. Almost like a Bond theme. Nothing very drag about the song itself.

[@TV-vs8xu]

Malta was my favourite for six years, but now I don't think that somebody from this selection can reach the final.. I think they need to return Malta x factor, find charismatic artist and then write him/her/them a solid song. As it was in 2019,2020

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

MATT BLXCK

[@TDCT26]

7 of my Top 8 didn't qualify 😅 now I'm rooting for Sirena ! If you ever wanna check other songs : *Dominic Cini - Bewsa (Twitter's favorite) *Eliana Gomez Blanco - There's Only Flowers *Karin Duff - Breaking Bad *Martina Cutajar - Miles Away *Franklin Calleja - Puppet *Moira Stafrace - Feather Flight *Sopranique - Empire Also not my favs but people were excited for these and they probably should have qualified too : *Miguel Bonello - Better Off Alone *Oxygyn - Cloudmaker

[@AutumnTales-ou6sb]

SIRENA!!! SIRENA!!!! SIRENA!!!

[@schmabi9625]

I have to say that Denise's previous entries were much stronger but I definetly root for her.

[@TV-vs8xu]

"Boy" was such iconic entry😭

[@Gravysushi]

Erba!!!!🎉🎉🎉 obsessed with this song!

[@GospodinNelson]

Miriana has got the most competitive song, strong enough to qualify and very jury-friendly

[@luisdanilosuarezsosa5114]

Sirena -Erba

[@leonelhernandez5758]

Sirena has a good chance to go into finals if they have a good staging and continue with their vocals. Mara has potential but I think would need a revamp if it were to get picked, a revamp would be good to work on the weak spots of the song.

[@gailattard8301]

Thank you so much 🙏🏻

[@saturekkesc]

Sirena has to win it

[@user-gw5tv1jf4i]

Loop has great potential!

[@esc_jeremy]

Erba and Matt Blxck are my favorites for sure

[@guillermomendoza9452]

Sirena for the win!!

[@ESCedi]

interesting choice with "Breathe"... for me personally that was like the most uninteresting ballad of all the finalists. I'm in love with both "Tell Me That It's Over" and "Wild Card" 😁 but apart from those I really enjoy "MARA", "Loop", "Sirena" and kind of "Banana" too so yeah, let's see what they'll bring to the stage for the final of MESC!

[@n3teoo1]

Sirena, mara or loop for win!!!! Please

[@ESC-Lux]

Totally agree!

[@koiyune]

it's either gonna be sirena, loop, mara or banana.

[@user-kl9qm6wo9n]

My favourite Matt with the song Banana

[@SC-bq7ob]

Tbh the final lineup is quite good Better than the ESCZ options

[@daphnebonello2746]

Venom was my fav song

[@neriku3]

In no order. Erba. Ryan. Nathan sarah Matt.

[@MarteIl0]

Justice for Bewsa

[@SC-bq7ob]

It now all depends on the staging

[@artimex723]

Sirena is a pretty good song, but I'm worried, that they won't be able to perform well on a big stage. I don't know the band, but they seemed very amateurish in the semi-final. Matt Blxck is funny and all, but to me Banana is the weakest one of his entries so far (Up was master-class, come around slightly worse, but good nevertheless). Ryan Hili has a great voice, but a weak song. Mara and Loop I don't like at all. In conclusion, I haven't really had high hopes for Malta this year and I don't think any of these entries can qualify to the final in Malmö in their current forms. No matter who wins the selections, they'll have a huge amount of work to do before May, if they want to achieve a good result at eurovision.

[@wolfwolf9326]

Erba Matt the best

[@quentinbrard29]

I think the first place in this sélection will be Janvil, Erba or Denise

[@quentinbrard29]

Or Lisa Gauci

[@maja-tea]

Nah it's pretty much fixed, the delegation wants to send Matt Blxck or Ryan Hili.

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

M A T T B L X C K and rightfully so!

[@kiribatiforlife8193]

Lisa Gauci for me, but realisicly I’d rather have Matt blxck rather than the other favourites tho

[@wk7852]

Either Denise or Erba will represent Malta for sure

[@MarteIl0]

I agree with erba. Bewsa and empire were better tho

[@Maypril1894]

I am a simple woman, I see a song with 'banana' in the title, I like 😂❤🍌

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

There is only ONE name you need to know if you want to know which of these artists will do well at Eurovision... M A T T B L X C K!!!

[@crabrave8979]

It will either q or get last

[@GospodinNelson]

Wiwibloggs would love him for sure 😂😂

[@Vhmvd]

@@GospodinNelsonnot really! Maybe having a laugh but not endorsing his “song”.

[@COMANAVAGO]

BANANA

[@lukaszek1777]

i hope they will send themselves to jail for this shit selection

[@thetruth9494]

This is one of the worst MESCs ever. The level is mediocre and it is a competition for the worst entries. The only redeeming song is Ryan Hili's and it is the best from the worst. And yet it is still not up to level. The rest of the songs, if you can call them that are good for the rubbish dump. I am sorry I am being so harsh but I am so because I am so angry. Are these songs the best composers can give us? And are these singers the best Malta can offer? Apart from one of two, the majority are so so bad - take Greta Tude as an example. If people do not have a voice they should not be allowed to sing.
