Babe, are you hiding? Are you alright?
You look like an angel, that fell from the sky
And boy you keep talkin', massaging my ego
With your unoriginal pickup line

Hell no, I'm not your honey
Hell no, I don't want your money
Got it wrong, I ain't into dummies
No-o-o-o

So baby, it's not a maybe
Yeah, I'm too good to be true, but there's nothing in it for you
So if I show some skin, it doesn't mean I'm giving in
Not your baby

Je me casse, je me casse
If you don't get it (Je me casse)
Je me casse, je me casse
I'm not your baby

Boy, are you pouring that drink in my hand?
Thinking if I'm drunk then, I'll give you a chance
Boy, you keep buying and complaining so stop trying
Not gonna give it up and change my plans

Hell no, I'm not your honey
Hell no, I don't want your money
Got it wrong, I ain't into dummies
No-o-o-o

So baby, it's not a maybe
Yeah, I'm too good to be true, but there's nothing in it for you
So if I show some skin, it doesn't mean I'm giving in
Not your baby

Je me casse, je me casse
If you don't get it (Je me casse)
Je me casse (Je-je-je me casse)
If you don't...

Ladies, if you feel like flaunting tonight, it’s alright, it's alright
Ladies (Ladies), listen to me!
Listen and go right ahead, show you're shining

If you don't get it, if you, if you dont' get it (Je me casse)
If you don't get it, if you, if you don't get it
Excuse my French

Baby, it's not a maybe
Yeah, I'm too good to be true, but there's nothing in it for you
So if I show some skin, it doesn't mean I'm giving in
Not your baby

Je me casse
Je-je-je me casse
I'm not your baby​

I never like the song TBH, it doesn't have a memorable melody (the sax isn't easy to remember) nor a good hook ('Je me casse' is a very random sentence to be used). The odds do affect casual viewers but I don't think millions of them consider nor look at the odds before show, I think it's more of a press thing that keeps on releasing coverage on some songs.

However, we as Eurofans do watch the odds even if we say 'the don't affect the show', because it's an interesting discussion point every year.

Another however, I don't think Malta will be high in the odds after the hype-making allegations, nor that eager to participate considering they absolutely put Destiny in the pedestal this year.

Yeah, I agree, the average viewer certainly doesn't check the odds, but since the media are (and some commentators mention it too) then this is where the "hype" among the average viewers could come to play (not necessarily though as we clearly saw in this case).

Yes, I agree, the odds can be interesting and I also like to analyze them, but what I meant is I find people peculiar who weren't into a particular entry that much only to change 180 if they become "pre-favs", like either you like or you don't no need to follow the stream and be a sell-out :lol: (and with you I don't mean YOU here, but random folks :lol:)

Her Career is over, isnt it?

Her next Flop will be at #esc250 where she wont reach the Top100.

I do feel sorry for her though as I don't think she was involved in all of that... but yeah, ultimately she will be the face of this failed campaign and it might have indeed harmed her future prospects.

You could see something was off with the odds during the rehearsals. Despite all the drama (bad costume, tweets, underwhelming staging, Dora wig) and mixed reviews the odds drifted only a tiny bit and she remained a solid 3rd right till the last performance of the final. Any other country would have drifted quite a bit with all that surrounding them. Just look at how the bad reviews hurt co-favorite Switzerland's odds in comparison.

i think there's nothing wrong with promoting your entry

i just really feel sorry for Destiny, she didn't deserve all this drama

I think there's nothing wrong with promoting your entry.

However the promotion must be aligned with the purpose IMO. Malta aimed to win and promote Destiny, but mostly to win. All the aggressiveness comes as unnecessary to me since the show's result only comes down to 10-20 mins of the voting window.

There is nothing wrong with promotion but the type of agressiveness they employed to promote Destiny and the entry only ended up annoying people. So in the end instead of winning people to their side all they did was make people dislike and root against them. It all reeked of desperation. It's why so many were laughing at 47 points and then joked at amount of money spent per televote point.

On the other forum they even made a joke of the constant ad spamming by showing a fake ad that had Destiny's name and the song title as a banner on Pornhub

I'm looking forward to see this but Matt will probably send you notice for posting it on forum, maybe you can DM me instead! xheat

I initially misread this and missed the bit about it being a mockup by another forum. So I thought for about a day that as a joke Pornhub had put up a fake ad on their own site.

^ This means that despite all the YT ads, she received much worse feedback from viewers than expected.
Her grand final performance has 1.8 million views only.
