This is it, I guess.
Three months of hard work end today. Will we still be in the Eurovision tomorrow? Who knows? I hope so. I really do.
So many people have worked so hard, that it would be a real pity were it to end here. And the thing is, that there's nothing more than I can do except try and give my all tonight. That's all. The rest is in the hands of all the Europeans voting tonight. Let's just pray that they like the song.
Yesterday was full of mixed emotions.
The first rehearsal in the afternoon was an umitigated disaster. I was in a flustered mood and the contact lenses were hurting me a lot. My voice did not come out well at all and I felt something was going very wrong.
You can just imagine the mood everyone was in, in the afternoon. Nobody had the heart to tell me anything. But I knew I had done badly. Mark came into my room, pale faced. He just told me I had to do better in the evening.
I felt very low at letting down all those people and decided to go to sleep.
I woke up a totally different person. I felt strong and ready to take on the big stage.
As I set foot on stage for the second rehearsal, I immediately felt it was going to be right.
And it was. Everyone performed well. My voice sounded terrific and in control. I managed to follow almost all the cameras. And my contact lenses did not hurt at all! :)
As soon as the performance finished I met Mark and Robert backstage. Both of them had tears in their eyes. I knew we had done well. Mark could barely speak with emotion. As soon as we reached the dressing room I saw Philip, Gerard, John Claire, Mike and Joe Dalmas clapping. Yesterday morning's tragedy was over.
Now all that remains is the big night tonight. There is a lot of competition and it is going to be difficult.
I really hope we qualify. Not just for my sake, but for the sake of the 400,000 Maltese who will be glued to their television sets supporting us tonight. They deserve to see Malta perform next Saturday. And I will do my best to see that it happens!
Thank you for all your support, and I hope to have the strength to write another blog tomorrow.
Lots of love...Olivia.

Hey Ol!
Ma nafx taqrax dan il-kumment sal-lejla. Imma ghandi suggeriment ta' l-ahhar...

Ma rridx niftiehem hazin...imma nixtieq li l-expressions tijek juru li int qawwija!
Jalla il-holma tieghek u taghna issir realta...sa dan it-tant grazzi tal-progress li ghamilt u talli zammejt kuntatt maghna! GRAZZI HAFNA... Vera jisthoqlok tkun hemm!

Olivia, il 400 000 maltin li se jkunu jarawk illejla u hafna izjed madwar id dinja jafu li int qed taghmel l almu tieghek. J'Alla tghaddi ghal final imma jekk dan ma jkunx ma tridx thossok guilty. Certa li l poplu Malti jibqa jhobbok bhal qabel. Imboccal al lupo!!!
Nispera li roberta vella ma tihux ghaliha...pero se nikkoregiha ftit!

Nisperaw li jiflahna! Enjoy it!
Hey Olivia, I've been reading ur blog since Day1. Everyday once home in the evening i immediately open ur site and follow whats going with ur busy life. Ive been a fan since long now.. (not now that u won the msfe hehe).. i bought ur deja vu single and its signed in my room! I always liked ur voice! All I wanted to tell you today that we're all excited here... is that you must be proud that for tonite.. for at least a few hours.. you're making maltese proud to be.. happy together... screaming and hugging.. and forget all about our differences!! It is something you must be proud of.. if only there were other things that make us so unite! So for this year.. it's in your hand! Thanks Olivia! Malta will be one heavy heart beat tonite when the semifinalists today are announced.. but whatever happens.. we love you, at least I do! Good luck.. and remember when u're on stage.. visualize us maltese.. and the smile YOU are putting on our face!!!! xxx

Good luck and you have all our support. i am sure you will be great like you always are. Good luck and all the best
Olivia,my eyes are still wet with tears after reading today's blog.It's so emotional.PLEASE emmen fik innifsek u ghid:-
"OLIVIA INRID INMUR TAJJEB HALLI NGHATI RISPOSTA LIL KUL MIN MA EMMINX FIJJA"
.. u kif qalulek certu nies..itla fuq listage bit-tir li ha naddu ghall-finali u ha nerbhu il-finali.
Tara naqa kbir ghal lum mux ha jiswilek ta' deni =P
Il-esctoday poll qijad jirizulta li Malta ha tkun fil-finali.
Minn fommu ghall-fomm Alla.
Imma limportanti li inti ma taqtax qalbek.Kun strong fuq il-palk li ha jirnexxilek u itqilna naqra :P
GOODLUCK minn qalbi hafna hafna!

This is it. Everyone has done the bit assigned to him. Just for tonight keep concentrated and focus only on your voice. Make sure to have a full warm up with Claire. She knows exactly what to do. Good luck and God bless.
Whether red whether blue all Malta is behind you.
Control your nerves for those fantastic three minutes and God will see through.
I am sure you are going to make all Malta proud again.
In the meantime have a nice afternoon nap to wake up strong again.
Hey Olivia
Ejja qawwi qalbek u toqodx tibza!!! It's easier said than done but I believe in you...i want you to give me emotions!!!!!! and you will
MY LAST MESSAGE TO YOU BEFORE THE BIG NIGHT:
Dearest Olivia, do not worry about anything at all...tonight as soon as you put your step on the stage i am sure you will feel the positive energy and emotion of all maltese people and all the fans you have already made arounf europe...and maybe you will feel also the positive vibe and smile of a properly dressed Barbarino, whi is gonna watch you tonight in a central club in Berlin with all his good friends....Do not worry about a thing, you have the best song, please believe in it, you have the nicest appearance of all performers and you have an impressive and memorable staging...these little things about drapes or not drapes are just details, no show is perfect and that apllies to all the participants....please belive in all this, just before you set your foot on the stage tonight, close your eyes, recieve our positive energy, and go out there, sing confidently, and makes us move once more...we all know you can do it, and i am no maltese and i know that very well too....plese do not let any pressure come down on you during these three moments....we will all be with you with a big smile enjouying you on stage and the sound of Vertigo......i am not at all religious, so praying from my side would bring few things, but i believe in the transfer of positive vibes, and tonight in the club in front of the big screen and some minutes before you go on stage i will do my best to transmit some of my energy and joy for Vertigo...
DO NOT WORRY ABOUT A THING, HELSINKI STAGE IS NOW READY FOR VERTIGO, WE ARE READY FOR VERTIGO, NOTHING CAN GO WRONG, ALL MY FINGERS TIGHTLY CROSSED........THE BEST OF LUCK FROM BERLIN!!
Moi olivia,

Dearest Olivia!!
i have just watched once more a dress rehearsal video on you tube(i guess it was the second one), and i can reassure you everything looks great there, even the drape waving.....i heard something of a body painting, if your team is in the mood some body painting would be also ok..but these are details...do you know what happened to me as i saw this performanxe of yous flowing? i got some tears, tears of relief that the vertigo power comes across on stage....your performance moves and i am sure it will move many many others....GO OUT THERE RELAXED, CONFIDENT, WE ARE ALL WITH YOU IN VERTIGO POWER AND TONIGHT WE WILL ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE!!!!!! THE BEST OF LUCK, WE ARE WITH YOU!!!!!
GOOD LUCK OLIVA!!

Hey!
It's me again!
Qed nerga nikteb biex naghmel xi haga cara! Ghax giet issibni persuna l-iskola llum, u qaltli hemm xi ktibtilha l-Olivia biex tkun snob fuq il-palk! Li ridt infisser hu ezatt dak li qalet Maryrose aktar qabel, igifieri li thossok rebbieha u "invincible" fuq il-palk!
Hi Ol,
Jien andi hafna fiducja fik! Jekk tmur kalma u relax u taghmel il-performance bhal l-ahhar rehersal andek tmur mega tajba!

Good Luck and take care always!!!

Olivia,
I know you must've heard this like a zillion times now. But I'm gonna say it anyway... I wish you all the best of like that one could ever have in the whole universe. You are such a special person, and you diserve to be in the final. All of you worked so hard for this, and all the maltese have faith in you. But I know, Eurovision isn't always fare. Not always the best song wins. Everyone knows the reason for this, am not going to go through it. I want you to keep in mind, and I'm sure that I'm speaking on the behalf of thousands of other Maltese here... that WHATEVER... and I repeat... WHATEVER ... happens tonight, we are all still very proud of you and all you do. No matter what happens, for us you still remain that sweet, graceful, most wonderful Olivia we always knew. We great respect I put forth this message.
Good Luck, we all love you very much.
Break a leg!

Just saw Olivia's performance. She looked stunning. I do believe that she was a bit sharp at times but not that much. I still didn't like the white drapes. Otherwise it was a good show.
You were fantastic. I loved your performance. You were terrific Olivia. Well done, I know you did your very best. Bomba int.
Hi Ol,
Wara l-performance li rajt ikolli najd li kien worth it li nafdaw fit-tim.....nahseb li ana cans naddu....sakemm ma jkunx emm il-flus fin-nofs.....bis-sens kienet il-performance imma.....biss nar is sibt ikkalma aktar ax hassejtek ftit tense imma l-bqija bomba sabiha......lol ga amiltek wahda mill finalisti jin ax cert li n nies habbewk.....imma s-sala kienet nofsha vojta jaqae ajd ax bdew igibu siggijiet vojta?
...i am writing this after the performance you did...it was good,but i think your voice wasn't 100% there...i expected a more intensive show..but i think it left a good effect on the viewers...good work,if we pas try to sing as you sang in the malta eurovision final..that night was incredible !!! xxx goodluck xxx

oh olivia. there are seven of us here, preparing for a great evenong. but noe we are so sad. it#s clear that mid-europe & balkan votes rule.
you performed so professsionally. we love you here in manchester.
come home to malta. be proud. you desreved to qualify. it's not an equal playing field.
WE LOVE YOU OLIVIA XXXXX
Hi Olivia. I am very sorry you didn't get through...I really personally thought that you deserved to pass through...you sung very well and it beat most of the other songs. But that's life I guess...you never know what to expect. I just hope the media doesn't bash you up. But remember....if you hear anyone talking negatively about you, it's because they know theyre not capable of being who you are and achieving what you have achieved. Well Done Olivia. You've made Malta proud....to us, you are the no1. Don't worry ;)

Olivia inti rebbieha ghalija ghax ghamilt l- aqwa performance li kien hemm illejla fil- fehma tieghi !! Vera nhossni dispjacuta u mahruqa imma inti ibqa' zomm f' mohhok li ghamilt your best ghax vera kont brava !

Anyhow, thanks for representing us magnificently! xx

olivia i want to thank you for the great effort u gave!u had a wonderfull performance!well done to you and all!it was a very bad idea of taking clair massa and even a worse idea of her teaching you the'head voice'...the notes were not as strong as usual!I'm sorry clair,but u messed her voice up!and who came with the idea that a lyric teacher,teaches someone how to sing pop is a SKARPAN!Proset Mr. Chairman! ghamilt bicca ta ragel if it was yours!
Well done again olivia!u still made me proud to see you there!You looked stunning and gave a wonderfull performance!
olivia l-performance kienet ecelenti u tajt dak kollhu li kellek tati. Sfortunatament kien hemm hafna sorprizi dis-sena, diski li kienu qed jghidu li ser jirbhu lanqas biss ghaddew ukoll tipo Cipru u Switzerland. Ghaddew songs bla sens....naf li l-Maltin xorta kburin bik Olivia.
dear olivia, you did a great job. we are still very proud of you and we all know the results were a load of crap....it is impossible for ALL the ex-communist countries to pass ALL together and no western countries to pass. you were brilliant. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hello Olivia.....
min jaf kif hassejtek ilbierah filghaxija! kemm iddispjacieni! kemm hdimt u kien haqqek fuq li haqqek biex tghaddi. dan zgur li song festival ma baqax...sar show festival? lanqas tant...sar originality festival? lanqas...x'sar? Balkans festival. b'dal-mod ma jistax ikun li nkomplu nahlu l-energija u l-flus! malta should think about quitting the festival if nothing is going to be done. insomma dheret sabiha lbierah u haqqek prosit kbira hafna!

take care

Hugely disappointed for you, you really did deserve to go through. Had *someone* not messed up our entry last year to such an extent, you'd have been through automatically like you deserved. Don't blame yourself, it was a great song and performance. Personally loved it - C
What a pity:( You definitely deserved a place in the finals:(
YOU GAVE A TERRIFIC PERFORMANCE AND YOU ARE A WINNER. NEVER STOP BELIEIVING IN YOURSELF.
UNFORTUNATELY ONCE AGAIN THE FACTOR OF THE NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES N EASTERN BLOCK NATIONALS LIVING ACROSS EUROPE DETERMINED THE RESULTS TONITE. THE FACT THAT NO SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRY QUALIFIED SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
IF YOU NOTICE NO WESTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRY MANAGED TO QUALIFY EITHER.
I THINK THAT THE ONLY COUNTRY THAT I WOULD HONESTLY GIVE MY VOTE TO WAS SERBIA. SHE HAS A STRONG VOICE, N LOVED THE SONG.
I NEVER AGREED WITH TELEVOTING, AND WOULD PREFER A PANEL OF JUDGES ANYDAY.
KEEP YOU CHIN UP HIGH, OLIVIA, YOU HAVE MADE US PROUD.
it's all bullshit... usual countries, its so unfair, this time we had everything!!! ma nafx jien ;/
Ol you were gr8! No matter what!
Olivia the most important thing is that you gave an excellent performance ! i am sure all malta is proud of you ! vera brava - hafna hafna ! mux int biss - but all the team ! you were great ! il kumitat hadem ukoll! jien ma nista nmaqdar xejn - imma nahseb li emm raguni alfej m addejnix ! u dan jixhdu li l ebda pajjiz lil west ma addha! malta cipru switzerland - hadd ma addha! addes biss balkani u eastern countries!
Olivia as expected - you made us PROUD !
BRAVA ! malta thobbok olivia u se tibqa warajk ! BRAVA !
Hey olivia! Welldone for a wonderful performace! Maybe ur voice wasn't its best but overall it was a grt interpretaion of the song!! But Eurovsiion is by time becoming a farce!! I couldn't belive it when they shouted MOLDova I was thinking it is going to be Malta butit wasn't! I wish there is something we can do as all the hall was shouting MALTA!!! You did ur very best and personally I think no one ever did so much to do well in EUrovision!! I loved Deja Vu and it was in 2005 and this yr that I supported you!! you surely where the best ever Maltese represenative and hope that other singers follow ur footsteps and condiser what the fans have to say!!!
Simply SuperB! So who are your fav now?? Where u surprised some of the greatest songs where left out?? Well who wasn't!! goodluck 4d future Olivia and we also look forward to see more songs from philip and gerlad because they are two of the best writers in malta! vertigo is the ebst song they have composed!! But no one could fight amongst Eastern Europe!! :(
Olivia you did a swell job yesterday...you kept us all glued to our tv (laptop screen, in my case) due to your fabulous performance! need less to say, the "I vote my neighbouring country"-syndrome has struck again, with the finalists being either ex-soviets, balkan or balkan-related nations. what a silly way to go about a respectful competition. regardless of this, you still owned the show last night!
OLIVIA, SANDRA GRIMA HERE FROM MALTA , YOU AND ALL THE TEAM GAVE AN EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE, DURING THE POINTS THERE WAS A CHOIRE FROM THE BACKGROUND ALL CALLING MALTA MALTA. WHY WASN'T YOUR SONG CHOSEN? IT CLEARLY WAS A QUESTION OF INTEREST,ELIMINATING THE GOOD SO THERE WOULD BE LESS COMPETITION FOR AN EASY WIN FOR CERTAIN COUNTRIES. REMEMBER YOU DID YOUR BEST I PERSONALLY THINK THE EUROVISION HAS BECOME A FARSE, ITALY AND MONACO ALREADY KNEW THIS . GOOD LUCK FOR THE FUTURE GIVE US MORE GREAT SONGS AND PLEASE TELL US THE TIME THAT YOU WILL BE ARRIVING IN MALTA, WE LOVE YOU!
Dear Olivia,
When all is said and done... zilch. I am so so sorry, and yesterday night was a painful reminder that one doesn't have to be good, look good, sing well, have a smahing song..... the ex-soviet countries have a knack of ganging up together. Not fair. I have spent one hell of a sleepless night thinking about you, hoping that you will rise above this, and it must be hard. This has not even been a question of luck. The way it was, Malta had no chance. It's not just Malta, there were a couple of other lovely songs which didn't make it either.... but then they aren't ex-communist countries. So that says a lot too. Just wich I was there, for all it matters, I'd just ask you to give you one big hug, it was all so perfect. Don't know what else to say, but hoping you'll take it in your stride. From my heart, AnnMarie
olivia memx taghmel we lost ders always next year it was close your still the best singer in eorope 2 me pls tell me youll do more stuff and you keep on writing yr blog
still love you:antonia
Taqtax qalbek Olivia. Malta kollha warajk. Ghamilt min kollox u dak huwa l-aktar importanti. Dis-sena kien hemm block vote u huwa car. Grazzi ghax ghamiltna kburin, ir-rizultat ma kienx jiddepedni minnek.
Hi Olivia
We still love you and think you were brilliant, impeccable and most charismatic, though the result did not do you justice! The truth is, you never stood a chance with all the Eastern neighbourly voting. Maybe you should kick Eurovision in the **** and attempt your success otherwise. This contest has become a most unfair contest in my opinion! I can't understand how the out-of-tune Bulgaria, the ordinary FYROM, the uninspired (Justin Timberlake) Turkey and the cheesy Latvia deserved to be in your place, and that of other Western countries like Andorra, Netherlands and Iceland.
Take care and best regards. We love you!
HI OLIVIA,
Wara il performance li tajt il-bierah jien ghedt li din is-sena Malta ghamlet show sabih u kien wiehed mill-isbah shows anke bhala kanzunetta.
Billi l-kanzunetta tieghek (vertigo) ma kwalifikatx ma l-ewwel ghaxra xorta kienet wahda mill-isbah, imma ma dawk il-pajjizi maniex cans mhux ghax mhux capaci, ghax tajbin daqsom u ahjar imma ahna ma missu ma hadt u dan taf xi jfisser. Jekk taraw sew min ghadda ghal final tistaw tinutaw li kolla huma mil-Lvant ta l-europa eccezjoni ta turkija. Kieku forsi tidhol Ghawdex,Kemuna u Filfla forsi jibda jkolna cans bhalom, il-bqija ghal xejn tista tkun tajba kemm hi tajba il-kanzunetta.
Mhux se najd ghal Malta biss ghax maditx imma nsemmu bhal cyprus, swizzerland, holland.
Lil Olivia nixtieq najdila proset hafna ta l-isforz li ghamlet u ahna il-maltin kuntenti bik. :)

Hey Olivia,
Thanks for your fabulous performance yesterday, you made us proud to be Maltese. Well done to the whole team behind you who worked so hard for this contest.
The result was obviously shocking. We had high hopes, but we all know about the voting system, everyone is talking about it and everyone is shocked with yesterdays result (including foreigners).
I know it was an undeserved sudden ending, but as Malta was behind you through the years, and especially during the last three months, Malta will be behind you now. Everybody knows you were great ;).
Looking forward to see you back in Malta :D....
Well Done!
Olivia!!! You did a fab job yesterday!! Me and mum literally got tears in our eyes during your performance!!... Thank you for making us swell with pride during those 3 minutes!!.. Regarding the result: it's definetely not your fault!! We still love you so much!! Ex-Soviet countries did a clear block vote yesterday!! Shame on them for ruining Eurovision and for depriving such beautiful songs like yours from entering the final!! xxxx
Il-Maltin xorta kburin bik Olivia. You gave a wonderful performance yesterday u kellek vuci tal-genn... Ma tlajniex ghal-final mhux tort tiek jew tort taz-zeffiena imma kollu tort tan-neighbours.. Vera eurovision tac-cajt dis-sena.. L-isbah diski allajbierek ma addewx.. Alijja Malta u Switzerland kif ukoll Drama Queen kellom ikunu mil-ewwel 3 li jitilaw.. Ny way gl for you future Olivia and never give up :)xXx
Olivia taqtax qalbek taf li mhux wahdek li kellek diska meraviljuza u mghaddejtx hemm netherlands...swiss...danmark u aktar jigiferi zgur li ma kellekx diska havina anzi the best from the bests.....insomma din is sena il voting kien kawlat u il presentation tal eurovision...graphics....opening...ecc disastru kien....l-ghar urovision preparation in my opinion so the worst eurovision ever diserves a great funny song from ukrain so pll next saturday vote for ukraine...its a great funny song....ghax hafna ed jibzghu li jerga jkun ghawn rebbieha funny wara l-lordi so let's vote for it guys!!!!!!!!!
12points 4 UKRAINE fROM Malta :)
Dearest Olivia!
first of all thank you for a very good performance of Vertigo...i think you did your best on the stage taking into consideration the pressure of the contest...i watched the show very closely and every participant was kind of nervous....i was so worried as time passed by in the announcing of the results and Malta would not come up....i could not believe it...after thr first shock i spent some time to think what went wrong...your performance was by far the best...so i guess it must be this neighbouring voting again...and then it is this diaspora voting...that is why FYR Macedonia and Turkeytook the ticket to the final..this whole voting system gets on my nerves, really...anyway Olivia, do not blame yourself for not qualifying, you made a serious and honest effort and you were very good at it...i still love vertigo exactly like i did before and i still think you are a great singer and a very nice and sweet person...in my mind and my heart you are the big winner of the night, because of all these performances only yours comes into my mind when i think of this ESC...
WELL DONE OLIVIA! WAS A GREAT NICE SHOW AND YOU SEEMED CONFIDENT ON STAGE! YOU DESERVED TO BE IN THE FINAL. WASNT RIGHT WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT AND HOW EUROPEANS VOTED! YOU GAVE ALL YOUR BEST BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WAS IN THE EUROPEANS HANDS. I WISH TO TELL ALL MALTESE TO NOT VOTE FOR ANY SONG ON SATURDAY!!! I REALLY HOPE MALTA WON'T GIVE ANY POINTS TO ANYONE THIS YEAR IN THE FINAL COS WHAT HAPPENED WASN'T RIGHT AND FARE!!! WE WAIT ON YOU TO COME BACK HOME..MALTA LOVES YOU AND IS WITH YOU!!!
I FORGOT TO SAY THAT MALTESE SHOULD BE UNITED THIS SAT! DONT VOTE OR WATCH THE EUROVISION! LET'S DO IT FOR OLIVIA AND FOR MALTA!!! SINCE WE DESERVED A MUCH BETTER POSITION THAN THAT! AT THIS POINT EUROPE GIVES ME VERTIGO!!!! OLIVIA..YOU ARE OUR WINNER!!! HUGS!
Prosit olivia tal-performance li tajt... Kienet mill-aqwa!!Il-Maltin xorta kburin bik. Int ghamilt hiltek kollha, imma imbad issoltu televoting.... Fl-opinjoni tieghi il-magoranza ta' l-ahjar diski li kien hemm il-berah ma dahlux ghal final, wahda minhom hi VERTIGO!! Taqtax qalbek Olivia, kantanti bhalek b'diska bhal ma kellek xorta wahda ikollhom is-success li haqqhom.
Olivia you made us proud ! us maltese are angry at how the voting was carried out last night ! but we are proud of your performance ! I hope you write something - because i am really concerned about your feelings! Olivia you made us proud ! all malta is happy with your pefromance! all my MSN contacts has - a positive message about you + your performance in their nicknames! we were cheated yesterday! Malta's song was better than some of the songs that qualified! anyway - BRAVA olivia - im really looking forward - to listen to what you have to tell us!
Olivia taqtax qalbek ahna xorta kburin bik u l-Maltin kollha warajk! xxx
Dear Olivia
The performance was great and your voice turned out splendidly. we all know you gave your best. you made us all maltese proud no matter what the result was. Don't let what happened get to you. You are a great and lovely person. keep you head high. You and your team did your best and that is what matters. The maltese are all behing you. Big hugs from Malta.
i wish you all the best in the world
Those 3 minutes literally sent a shiver down my spine and I was very proud to be Maltese! And still am! I sincerely believed that it was one of the best songs of the night because really, some of the songs are just RUBBISH. I sincerely hope that you understand that all Malta was and is still behind you, and that this Contest was dominated by the Baltic votes. If it were up to me I'd send the Eurovision packing! Pls Olivia cheer up!
Olivia, Congratulations on your performance. It was truly among the best, and consequently you received one of the best reactions from the audience, but in this contest this kind of things happen and sometimes in a very cruel way. Anyway you have a great talent and I am sure you will have a great carrer. Good luck
listen the pepole dont care who sings the best if dey dont live close to us no chance you are the best i love you ders always next year dont be sad just :)
from:antonia
You know what? I think we should stop taking part. Every year this happens and am sorry to say that the Eastern European think that they are the only ones. I didnt see why Bulgaria had to enter and not Denmark for example. If the voting systme was a fair one Vetigo would have been in the top ten. Dont worry Olivia you still made us proud and cant wait to see you on Xarabank tonight. xxx
Yesterday's result speaks by itself. Neighbouring countries passed whilst the really good songs remained behind. One should start questioning himself if it s worth it for Malta to take part again. Well done olivia and all the team! It was an excellent performance!
Dear Olivia
Your song was great, perfomance even more than great. It was absolutely fantasic. I can imagine your feelings about not reaching the finals. But it does not mean nothing. If one take a look to the yesterdays results who pass. All of them eastern countires not even anyone from central europe as Norway or Portugal for example.
Evenmore there are 16 countries taking part in the finals which are eastern countries. These kind of voting can't be fruitfull to central europe cause everyone will vote to their neighbours.
Do you think that of Bulgaria was better than you? Not at all for me the voting was all of it fake.
Stay as you are Oliva you are great singer and got great song. No matter what the result was.
For me yesterday's results does not count not cause you did not pass, but it shows that only eastern countries make it.
Anyway for me Malta has to be PROUD of you.
I noticed you had some problems with your voice...but still, yours was the best performance.
It's not the end of the world. Most people vote for the country, not the song.
Keep smiling :)
Hi Olly
I really hope you're feeling better than yesterday. Please still have pride in yourself and I mean it. Your performance was one of the very very best. Though I liked most of the song which passed through, you and vertigo were just as good! It's obviously not your fault if our country is just a little island and we have no neighbours to vote for us. This bloody hell of a festival has turned into a contest of which is the biggest country and who has the most neighbours. At least I'm really glad for your sake that at least on this blog, nobody is criticising. Don't let anyone get you down. You have a great potential!
When are you coming back to Malta?
We all still love you a lot sweetie no matter what happens!
Tc pupa xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I really don't know if u'll ever read this, but i hope you do coz i really want to tell u a huge well done! So what if your song didn't make it to the finals?!YOu rocked and did soooooo much!!
In my opinion, its about time that Malta doesn't participate in the d ESC anymore...its like watching an episode of "neighbours" rather than a contest.imma imsomma, that's my opinion
Olivia, keep your head held up high coz you made us proud. tatix kaz ta xi jejdu in nies...unfortunately, people are going to tell you something anyway. mitt bniedem, mitt fehma jejdu. On the whole the performance was in line(if not evn btr) that the other performances. Malta wasnt the only performance with guys and body brystals, gongs, fans and energetic dancing. Atleast ours was "clean" and not whory...as what can be said for a few other performances that looked like christina aguilera gone wrong.
Memx tamel..last year gejjna l'ahhar u din is sena we didnt pass to the finals. Maybe this should be enough of an alarm bell for us to focus on national issues, rather than on a contest which is more than baised.
May your singing career flourish to beyond the ESC as im sure that although Malta did nt make it to the finals, YOU surpassed an 11yrd old hurdle by mowing down national competition. I hope that some international guru has noticed your talent through your 3mins on stage...maybe in years to come you'll be mowing down international competition.
Take care of yourself and i wish you and the maltese contingent the very best, as i know that all of you have given their utmost and more.
Looking forward to seeing you back on Maltese soil ASAP!
Ruth Grima :)

hello olivia!!
adni kemm smajtek titkellem fuq super one radio! nixtieq nejdlek PROSIT kbira hafna ghaliex lilna il Maltin tajtna dak kollu li ridna.

Insomma Olivia, ghandek ax tkun kburija u tinzel Malta ferhana ghaliex irnexilek taghmel kollu dak li xtaqna ahna. TAjtna diska tajba hafna, performance tajba hafna (ECCELENTI) kif ukoll korjografija tajba ukoll. Lilna il-Maltin tajtna diska b show li tant ilna neqirdu bih ahna il-maltin.

BTW tinsix it 31000 vot li ircivejt Malta.... Dawk zommok f qalbek ghax dawk prova cara li nt tlajt tirraprezenta lil Maltin u l Ghawdxin KOLLHA!!!
Take Care!!
Olivia, you are a winner for all of us. We all know that there is a neighbour problem and since we are in the Mediterranean noone will vote for us. This does not reduce from your excellent performance I was awed, especially in the beginning there was no sense of excitement, brava! I agree whoever said clare your teacher ruined your beautiful voice. The low notes were super but the high notes sounded fake and uneven with the low ones. I know you could very well hit the high notes with a beautiful chest voice and do not need to do it like you can't chest it. This is just a tip for the future because I know that you, olivia have a wonderful future ahead because your merits cannot be expressed in writing. Opera singers cannot sing pop the way you do, believe me. Don't let them make you sing pop, the way they do. xxx

Hi Olivia,
Thank you for your wonderful performance last night.
Clearly it was a block from the ex-soviet countries. EBU SHOULD ONLY ALLOW COUNTRIES FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRIES TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS KIND OF FESTIVAL.
This festival is loosing a credits. Please do not blame yourself and ignore any stupid remarks that may arised after yesterday.
Well done all of you.
Take care and enjoy Tallin, Estonia tomorrow. I have been there it´s a very nice town.
olivia i just want to tell u a few words. 1st of all great performance qalbi...hallejtna mkahhlin mat tv u bla kliem! for me it was wonderful! well done hi!
when they were calling the ten countries i felt that my heart wanted to burst....but why malta's name was not called?....i just couldn't beleive it...the performance was great....BUT...the Eurovision is a simple joke! it's so silly. i am very sorry as u deserve d best!
however olivia, u r still my number 1, as u have always been for the past years.taqta qalbek qatt pupa.
loads of love, hugs and kisses

Hey Olivia!
I wated to say Congratualtions a a FANTASTIC performance! Im a big esc fan from the UK, and voted for you last night!
I really hope you are not to down about the results, who needs eurovision to tell you what is a great song? Many great songs have not passed the semi fianls before because of neighbour voting in other areas, so please don't feel ashamed about anything, you should feel proud that such a great performance and song represented Malta! You deserved to be on the eurovision stage and i fully enjoyed seeing you there!
Have fun with whatever you do next, and please let us know how you get on
:)
Hello Olivia !
Kemm hadt gost narak il- bierah fuq Xarabank ghax rajtek relax u kuntenta ! Jien inhossni vera ferhana li kellna lilek tirraprezenta lil Malta !
