Random Memes From Junior Eurovision 2014... Lazily Thrown Together


JESC: FINALLY! The Malta Eurovision Selection on junioreurovision.com!

Click Here if you want to see kids sing like grown ups!

1:30 - Show starts with a technical difficulty with Federicka Flazon singing Diamonds from last years JESC. Cheap selction is cheap. lol But she looks great.

4:45 - RETURN OF THE DREADED ADVERTIZING! (see the grown up Malta ESC selction for 2015)

6:30 - OH SNAP! Christer Bjorkman! He does Melodifestivalen! If he made Cyprus work, he'll make this work.

8:15 - Another ad... Drinking game anyone?

8:50 - Gaia Cauchi working the backstage.

-----------------------------------------

9:30: -  Song #1 - Nicole Frendo singing Sam Smith's I'm Not The Only One. Never trust a young girl with a skirt up past up her knees. Good edition though but a competitive performance.

12:35 - Gaia and little girl with an adult SPEAKING voice... With a cute accent. Her engrish isn't great but SELFIE!

13: 20 - Song #2 -  Raisa Marie Micallef singing Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again from the play Phantom of the Opera. She might do ok... ADVERTISEMENT!

17:15 - Song #3 - Sarah Micallef singing Aretha Franklin's Respect. Oh no... ROFL. She's having so much fun up there. You sing crazy but RESPECT to you. I like her.

20:35 - Song #4 - Nicole Sciberras singing I Will Be by Leona Lewis. She sounds so normal. A refreshing voice among many powerlifter singers so far - because powerlifters carry the heaviest weight they can and hold it for a little while. But she can last.

24:10 - Song #5 - Veronica Rotin singing Jessie J's Mama Knows Best. She's carrying soul because she knows her mama knows best. What lunches to put in her box. What kind of band aid to put on her knees with her fav cartoon characters. She reminds of Russia's JESC 2014 rep if she went with a heavier song. And she's got Jesus on her necklace lace lace lace lace #KeshaReferances

Part 2 of the National Selection for Malta in the Junior Eurovision 2015 #Discover
Another Generic Logo! (fan made)





33:45 - Song #6 - Ilenia Camilleria singing The Dreamgirls' One Night Only. She doesn't have verbatto considering she's ONLY A KID but she did pretty well.

37:20 - Francesca Dimech singing Taylor Swift's Black Space... Don't worry. I wrote her name. She's off key for much of the performance but in a charming and cute way. #notpedo

41:10 - Song #7- Aidan Cassar singing Big Band Brother's Kemm Hu Sahih. Finally! A dude in this fish fest! He has an alright voice and you can tell he didn't come to compete but to showcase and he did that well. Grazie!

44:40 - I'M A WARRIOR! I'M A CONQUEROR!!!

45:10 Song #8 - Chirstina Magrin singing Ceine Dion's I Surrender. In the words of Anastashia Petrik: YOU'LL NEVER MAKE ME SURRENDER! It's good but not a winner but she could win. You never know. A good song and she could do it!

49:05 - Song #9 - Thea Aquilina singing Frank Sinatra's That's Life. I love her singing but it's a little mature. Sounds sultry and jazzy in a way I'd feel weird about kids singing. #notpedo Hope she does well all the same.

53:30 - GatoNegro? Montenegro is gonna sue somebody! Say ADIO!












------------------------------------------------------------

Part 3 of the kiddie fest! Lets get to it!

57:35 - Song #10 - Andy Shaw singing The Scirpt's Breakeven. Anyone remember this song? lol I liked back then when I was in high school. His performance for the song is left to be desired but his singing could be enough. Not great but enough. Kinda breathy but lacking breath... Just watch it and see what I mean.

1:00:00 - One hour into this... HOW DO YOU FEEL? Sleepy but interested like I am?

1:01:30 - Song #11 - Sarah Farrugia singing Bon Iver's Skinny Love. Is the 3rd part gonna be the good and different voices? Her voice could be a little softer for the singing style she's going for. Focus on emotion and depth instead of trying to belt... My first criticism so far! YAY!

1:05:25 - Song #12 - Kelsey Farrugia (sisters?) singing BIRDY's Strange Birds. Oh no.  n-n-n-n-no! Pretty boring. I'm focusing on the words but there's little else to go on singing wise. She tried and that's all that matters.

1:08:50 - WE ARE THE HEROES OF OUR TIME! HEROOOOOS!

1:09:20 - Song #12 - Destiny Chukunyera singing Arethra Franklin's Think. Oh... Em... Gee! FREEDOM! Best singer so far! Big girls with big voices... And sass! She didn't get too soulful but enough for us to feel the spirit! She makes me THINK - can she win?

1:13:10 - Song #13 - Gabrielle Portelli singing Julie Andrew's I Could Have Danced All Night. This song could easily have been remastered into some swedish house song that Avicii or Calvin Harris could've put a singer on. lol That's what little Gabrielle made me think. Now, when she becomes a big star in Malta she can reflect on this performance as the start of her stardom but not the start of her winning streak. Sounds like she's sing in a school talent show, not a international song comepetition that over 30 million people will see. I wonder if Baby Gaga could sing it like the real Lady Gaga did? 
--------------------------------------------------------

Part 4... And they're just NOW giving out the voting numbers. Feeling drowsey. Gotta pop some pills.

Vitamin C and Gensing pills that is.

And Another Generic Logo! (when Malta hosted last year) Could Malta win again?




1:21:15 - Song #14 - Haley Azzopardi singing Jennifer Holiday's And I'm Telling You (I'm Not Going). She sounds like a white girl sing a black girl's song... Wait for it... Because she is a white girl singing a black girl's song. (see Ann Sophie's Black Smoke) Cool that the crowd sung along with her.

1:25:15 - Song #15 - Amy Marie Borg singing Sarah Brightman's Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again. Another princess (see tiara) singing a showtune. Good or nah? I'm not sure but I like it. And her dress and bracelets did her some Justice. Now, help her say GOOOOODBYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

1:29:10 - Song #16 - Rebecca Scicluna Rizzo singing Ella Henderson's Yours. Good song for her voice. She seems lovely. Not a winner but you'll remember. You are hers.

1:33:00 - Song #17-  Isaac Mercieca singing Lara Fabian;s Mama. A strong song by Daneil Testa Jr. lol His vocal presentation isn't great but it is enough.

1:36:55 - Song #16 - Victoria Sciberras singing Micheal Buble's Feeling Good. Mariah Carey part 2! lol @ the trumpet players in the back. I love the plastic garb she's wearing.

ALL THE SONGS ARE DONE!
-------------------------------------



Well folks. Here's some meme's to pass the time!


Well... Wanna know who won...






















































Just kidding. Destiny won.

 Singing Arethra Franklin's Think.

Can't wait for your new song! Love ya, girl!

Junior Eurovision: MALTA IS IN! They'll announce in July!

On July 11th, Malta will announce Federika Falson's successor for Junior Eurovision using...

Something Junior Eurovision needs more off...

A EUROSONG CONTEST!

From Junior Eurosong Blog :

"How it will work is: People can submit songs to PBS and a jury will select 20 songs (1 song per person). These 20 finalists will perform live on stage (no live backings). A jury made up of three people (chosen by PBS) will judge them live. There will also be televoting which is worth 25% of the vote. Interestingly they say "The selection of the song to be performed during JESC in Sofia will be chosen by PBS in consultation with the artist or his/her representative.  The song selected for JESC will not be the same song which was performed by the artist/s in the MJESC." Meaning that they will basically choose a singer based just on voice and then assign them a song.

Candidates between the age of 10 and 15 by 21 November 2015 need to be Maltese nationals or residents. There can be up to six persons on stage.  The song may be original or a cover version in Maltese or English and it must be sung live during the rehearsals and the final show.

Submissions for participation shall be received at PBS Creativity Hub in Gwardamangia on 19th June 2015 between 09:00 and 16:00.  The participation form must include a CD including a full playback version of the participating song, together with a backing track including backing vocals (but excluding the main voice). The participation fee is €150 per application."




Maltese children! GET ON IT!
