Malta Gets Vertigo… Olivia loses EUROVISION 2007 PRESELECTIO

Spread the love

Olivia who represented Malta with the song Vertigo, failed to obtain enough televiewer votes to quality for the EUROVISION 2007 final…
Sorry for the lack of photos but that’s due to the missing Press Section on the official Olivia Lewis site.

My comments – it’s useless sending two “popular” people for the choreography – nobody knows them abroad anyway. Also what does Dracula have to do with the Japanese motif? I didn’t get that.

Next time, we should send either Lucienne Cassar (who won LA CORRIDA)
or a trio of Joe Demicoli, Martin Sapiano and is-Sur Gawdenz!

Soon viewers will be voting for the song which will be representing Malta in Eurovision 2007, from the finalists Scar, Klinsmann Coleiro, Pamela, Olivia, Kevin Borg, Trilogy.
Voting is all in the hands of the public – 100% televoting.
Todays voting numbers are different from the semifinal voting numbers…

Comment – olivia’s song featured two well known tv personalities (Eg joseph who is a lawyer too).. did that influence the voting process?

RESULTS:

1st place – Olivia – Vertigo 30977 votes (compos. philip vella/author gerald james borg)
2nd place – Trilogy – Starlight 7647 votes (author joe julian farrugia)
3rd place – Klinsmann Coleiro – She Gives Me Wings 7550 votes (compos. mark spiteri, lyrics rita pace)

Gabor Varga Dies in Plane Crash In Grand Prix, Marsamxett

Spread the love

Two small planes have crashed and one pilot has died, today at 15 minutes past noon, during the Grand Prix at Marsamxett harbour.

The planes crashed into each other on the sea.
Gabor Varga, acrobatics champion known as 'the Wild One', is the pilot who died.
You can visit his website.

I have always said these air shows are dangerous when the planes fly over buildings doing their acrobatics. During the practice training in the past few days they have been flying over land too.
