Vodka's prospects (1)

Why Vodka? The theme, for a Maltese song, is ill adapted and in that sense verges on the ridiculous.

The choice of the song again shows that we have not yet arrived at the right selection formula that has the right mix of expert opinion and popular view. The public choice is often based on emotion and clearly the percentage allocated to it should be on the low side - certainly not more than 30 per cent. By these comments I do not wish in any way to diminish the merits of the singer who has all that is required with regard to talent and personality to successfully represent Malta in the Eurovision song contest. But the song will fail her (and us).
