He Said / She said
I’m not going to be all ‘holier than thou’ while writing this blog, I admit to enjoying the occasional he said/she said, but it’s not like I thrive on it and it takes a lot for me to actually want to spill the beans about someone. It’s wrong and I know so, but sometimes I’m just compelled into doing so when the person in question is just as appealing to me as the ‘Claps’!!!
It’s amazing though, how there are some people I meet who are just so ready to tell you everyone else’s business, it’s almost embarrassing. Or the ones eager to tell you what your ex partner is up to, or how THEY know, through very “reliable” sources (whoever the dimwits who told them so might be) that your ex partner was fooling around behind your back during your relationship.
To those who are ‘so kind’ as to provide you with this information, tell them to “sod off” and mind their own business. Stop trying to ruin people’s days and google the meaning of obnoxious nosey parker, you might find the description to bear uncanny similarities to you!
I think Gossip is really an issue of ‘power’. These people who relish spreading malicious words about others are so power hungry, they feel they have some sort of determining factor on others’ lives when they actually talk about them or when they add their own ‘interesting’ facts to stories they’ve heard in passing.
You know talking about stuff you don’t really know much about, or don’t know the real facts about, might get you into serious trouble and it more often than not, hurts the person concerned or causes major hassles they really don’t need! It’s bad enough dealing with a tough situation whatever it might concern, be it health related, relationship related or anything else related. The last thing you need is someone adding to your sorrow by spreading lies.
I sometimes hear rumours worse than those about me and my friends in the media, but I’ve learn to let them wash over me just like water off a duck’s back and we’re all very aware that being in the public eye requires some sort of accepting that you’re going to be talked about, however some damage made by gossip cannot be erased and there’s no excuse for anyone bad mouthing anyone else.
And when you do think about it, these people lead very sad lives don’t they? If they’re more concerned about what everyone else is doing rather than what they’re achieving in their own lives. I remember a forum, which ripped me to bits about how my performance in Eurovision would’ve scored null points, or how I was all about the ‘face’ and not about the ‘voice.’ It’s just so amusing when I think about how there were no more comments posted by these same people the day after the result and after still being so happy to be still making music till this very day.
This is Eurovision week for our lovely Morena! I don’t know Margaret that well, but the few times I’ve met the Gozitan beauty on her island it’s always been chat chat chat! Morena is very approachable and lovable and I have no doubt that she will capture the hearts of Europe. The Eurovision song Contest has become harder to take part in, the never ending list of countries make it the more easier for a country as tiny as ours to be ‘conveniently’ put aside during the voting! However I believe that with Morena’s looks, charm and talent Malta stands a very good chance of making it through the semi finals. So form the bottom of my heart….Good Luck Malta! Good Luck ‘Vodka’! Good Luck Morena!

I've always been a follower of the Eurovision contest from Marija Il-Maltija. We've had our close chances, but I think we should seriously consider withdrawing from the ....this is my opinion..."Eurovision Carnival".
I do not have any intention to blame any one from the "Malta Company". On the contrary I wish to congratulate one and all for their efforts. Please allow me to mention special thanks to singer Morena and Chairman Robert Abela. I know Robert personally, and I can assure everyone that he gave out more than he could towards his professional approach and attitude but there comes a moment when you say nothing more can be done. So maybe we should revert to other festivals where our young singers will have the opportunity to achieve success and exposure for their career.
Have a great day.
