@Raymond Sammut@ what makes you think that coming 8th is good news my friend, on the contrary i think coming First is better news don't you, there were other who i thought were just a complet rubbish, one comes to mind is that silly number by the Belgians they should have place bottom Last and the Dutch weren't all that brilliant either.

The Girls' performance was exceptional, and it deserved better placing. But we know that with the stupid voting system, Malta's reps are always going to find it hard to make it to the top.
