Malta MALTA 2016 - Ira Losco - Walk On Water

[GWTW1939]

Because it comes off as tacky and publicity spotlight whoring (pardon the rude language ). It was calculating and pathetic when Beyonce did it a few years back and it was calculating and pathetic when Ira did it last night

4th place for this song in the jury vote is beyond me. I wonder what did the juries see.... Glad we had televoters here.

To be honest I didn't notice that... but why is it pathetic? If it looks like a desperate act for voting, then just ignore it. Simple as.

I'm not surprised that Malta did poorly in the televote. I have always loved this song and still do, but even I didn't vote for it on Eurovision night because the live version was once again lacking for me. I ended up voting for countries with stronger overall packages and the same probably holds true for a lot of people. However, due to my love for the song, I am glad that it was rated highly by the juries and still ended up on the left side of the scoreboard.

In the old system, Malta would have ended 24th!

This is a very interesting article!

Extremely overrated imo, however she performed the song quite well in the final. had much better songs that deserved to do well imo.

8 points - Amazing production, very modern at that time and Ira looked and sounded fierce.
slightly overrated by the juries but oh well... criminally underrated by the public.
