Malta finishes last – Fabrizio Faniello – Eurovision 2006

Spread the love

UPDATE:

A controversy at the time arose on the tv programme Bondiplus between Grace borg and both current Maltasong chairman + Minister Francis Zammit Dimech.

However one should note that PBS’ programme Bondiplus showed a clip tonight how the Minister tried to talk to Maltese singer Keith Camilleri (who was representing Switzerland), and was actually stopped from doing this by Grace Borg herself!
On this programme, Grace Borg was heard alleging that Maltasong chairman Robert Abela was drunk in the green room. Fabrizio’s Agent confirmed on the programme that no such thing happened.

On a less serious note everyone seems to be looking for a parody videoclip by Joe Demicoli ‘I DO’… Hmm I didn’t see this myself but let’s see.. found it:

EARLIER UPDATE:
Malta only got ONE POINT in last night’s Eurovision 2006 – in Athens, Greece. A terrible result – we ended up last. Fabrizio did his best I’m sure.

EARLIER UPDATE:

GOOD LUCK FABRIZIO!!!

Tonight Fabrizio Faniello will be representing Malta in Eurovision 2006. I think he will do well.

They changed the dance routine and removed the Tomb of the Cybermen bit.. 🙁

As usual everybody votes for their neighbours. I think we should stop taking part in Eurovision. It’s a joke.

PREVIOUS UPDATES:
Fabrizio’s CD has reached #1 in the Maltese Sales Charts!

Fabrizio has released his CD for his winning song “I Do”. The CD, a great production by Cap sounds and maltasong, contains 7 different mixes of the Eurovision song. Also it contains a high quality version of the music video.

Earlier story:

Fabrizio Faniello came first in yesterday’s Go Mobile Malta Song for Europe 2006 with 7729 votes. Olivia Lewis came second with 7623 votes and Trilogy were third with 4954 votes. There was no jury and all votes were decided by televoting.

Last year, Chiara came first with her song ‘Angel’. At Eurovision last year, some Brits compared her jokingly to a Dr Who alien (slitheen). My guess is this year there will be a comment about other Dr Who enemies, the Cybermen, since the dancers do a ‘Tomb of the Cybermen’-like entrance!

Fabrizio already represented Malta in Eurovision with his song “Another Summer Night” (which like ‘I Do’ can heard on Maltese Music Internet radio) back in 2001. This year he will be going to the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 and representing Malta with his song “I Do”.

Congratulations to Fabrizio! Good luck for ESC2006!

Fabrizio was the special guest at the Cyprus National Eurovision Final on 22nd February; the special guest at the Bulgarian National Contest For Eurovison Song (Semi Final) in Sofia, Bulgaria on the 25th February; the special guest at the Latvian National Eurovision Final “Eirodziesma 2006” on 11th March.

Statue of Our Lady (Madonna Tal-Ghar) in Birzebbugia, Malta, Cries Tears

Spread the love

Another statue of Our Lady has been crying tears of blood since last Monday, news reports said. This resin statue was in a private residence in Birzebbugia. Now it has been removed and the local church is expected to submit a report to the Vatican.

Tests have confirmed that the tears are indeed of human blood. The owners of the statue reported the fact to the Church authorities earlier this week after the statue was seen weeping again on Monday.

It was reported that the owners informed the village parish priest Dun Nikol Pace who advised them to contact the Maltese Curia.

The owners phoned and contacted Fr Ugo Cremona on the 23rd January 2006.
Back in 1999, a marble statue of Il-Madonna ta' l-Ghar (Our Lady of the Grotto) began to weep blood. This statue was located at the Church of the Dominican Priory in Rabat. In 2002, conclusive tests proved that the tears wept were actual human blood.

Ta’ Giezu Cross Broken By Foreigner With “Spirit of Hitler”

Spread the love

31st March 2006 – During the 6pm Mass at Ta’ Giezu Church in Valletta tonight, a 33 year old UK-born dark-skinned indian went up on the presbyter during the homily and threw the Holy Cross down onto the ground, breaking it. People tried to restrain the man but they did not manage to stop him from throwing the Cross down and he threw candeliers onto people. People tied him up until the Police arrived on the scene. He called Christians hypocrites.

According to Patri Gorg from Ta’ Giezu church (who was saying Mass at the time), it was not the big Miraculous cross but a small one. It was 200 years old and was broken to pieces. It was part of Malta’s irreplaceable cultural history also. The man had been to the church in the morning and had spoken to the Provincial.

The man told the Provincial that he believed in reincarnation and that he had the spirit of Hitler in him. The foreigner is being kept under observation in Mount Carmel hospital.

NOTE: This is not an April Fool.

The cross was restored in less than a year thanks to the sponsorship of Bank of Valletta.
