This is outrageous! By posting photos of Daniel Testa at TV Malta Web Site they have done extremely unfairly favoring this singer over other finalists before the final voting and time pressured in order to hint that the singer should be the winner. Despite the fact that the song is to some extent ‘borrowed’ from the Danish winner in 2013 and another this media ‘quiet’ campaign … it really is not right! For the purpose of an honest relationship to other participants do something: demand from publisher and distributor through the net that IMMEDIATELY REMOVE this photo and put something… Read more »

I also liked:
CHRIS GRECH – Oblivion (I liked very much, but it is not free on stage)
AMBER – Because I Have You
RYAN PAUL ABELA – City Lady
DEBORAH C – Until We Meet Again
De Bee – Pin The Middle
Top Three:
1- Christabelle with “Lovetricity”
2- Jessika with “Hypnotica”
3- Davinia with “Brand New Day”
My TOP 5 1.Jessika – Hypnotica 2.Daniel Testa – One Last Ride 3.Ryan Paul Abela – City Lady 4.Deborah C – Until We Meet Again 5.Franklin – Love will take me home Jessica only can win if we have 50 % televote 50 % juries and better chance with 100 % televote. With these voting procedure in Malta , modern song don t have chance to win, only ballad 2009,2010 or pop song like 2011,2012,2013. I think fight for win in Malta wili be between Pamela ,Franklin and Daniel Testa, but i thin Pamela will be win . Dark horse… Read more »
Sophie and Daniel made it! Yippee! Those were my favorites!!!
Yay. My 4 favorites made it 😀
Go Pamela, Jessika, Amber & Davinia <3
I thinnk Jessica or Daniel will be a winner
@camilla now the esc is the opposite. 2010 Lena, 2011 Nikki (Ell), 2012 Loren, 2013 Emellie. I hope a male singer to winner this year. Stop girls as winner.
the best songs went through. i know people like fabrizio and mariam christine and corazon…but they really did not have good songs. i think it’s jessika or pamela…maybe daniel testa. but camilla is right. it’s been too many men. malta wants a woman this year
They’re going to choose Daniel Testa. In recent years you have to have a penis to win in Malta. Hello Kurt. Hello Gianluca. Hello Glen Vella. I WANT PAMELA to win
I am in shock for Miriam Christine
I am in shock for Fabrizio. Why not ? Why ?
