I have no idea why people think this song is miles better. Even when I don't like "Out of sight", "I am what I am" is much, much weaker imo! Woul be dead last in my list! And as Rainy said, it is not fair to change the song. Where would we be when every country changes its song when it doesn't hit in the ESC fandom?
In my opinion the song change was already planned apart from the comments on "Out of Sight".
The MESC rules provided for this, so I don't think it's a problem with negative comments or a weak song.

I do like I am That I am better than Out of Sight. It's still not anything out o the ordinary, but better than most of song we have this dull year.

Smart move. The only thing missing this year was a midtempo gospel bop.

Even though I liked Out Of Sight, I feel that I Am What I Am is much more competitive. Out Of Sight would probably struggle to qualify, but I Am What I Am feel like a qualifier to me.

The thing I can't even remember how "Out of Taste Sight" sounds like. So if Malta is changing their entry to "I Am What I Am (which is bland)", it doesn't matter to me. It's just as beige and mediocre all around, which fits into this year's contest concept.

Spotify link to this bland track:

OMG this really is so melfest.

I think the whole MESC thing was just a way for the Maltese delegation not to look calculated (i think they've received too much heat with Michela and Destiny and the strong PR), so they just let Emma compete knowing well that she'd win and pull an Ira Losco after.

Their mistake was holding the NF too late. It's obvious to me that they scrambled for some Milanov/Melfest rejects in a very short notice and came up with this. If they had MESC in Dec/Jan they could've had more time to choose a new entry. This is actually more bland than Out of Sight and I didn't even know such thing could exists.

PS watch them keep Out of Sight after the early reaction :D

I like IAWIA, I think this will be much better live than studio, My only issue with it is... that it's not a winner, and it sounds like a melfest reject

It was pretty obvious that they will choose a Melfest reject if they only had a month to release the entry hahahahahahah

They had to chance to change the song and give us a contender at this point of competition that they know all the entries and
they give us a song at the exact same of beige with the previous one.
At least the previous one wasnt annoying, I find this very repetitive

So I came to post my short thoughts regarding "Out of sight" and grade it....and this is what I stumble upon.

Whether this is official or not here is my take:

Am I missing something here? Did her NF song break some rules?

Because otherwise I completely disapprove of countries doing things like this.
I don´t wanna root for any country who does this, just out of principle.

Its also unethical for the people that voted for the song.

What she should do is do a mash-up of both songs titled, "I Am Out of Sight of What I Am". It would at least makes thing interesting.

If not, they can always send Emma Muscat ft. AIDAN - "Ritmu (The Co-Ed Mix)" like what Godney did with "Boys" when Pharrell Williams was thrown into the mix. I would eat this up and rank Malta number 1 just for the sake of it.
