Eurovision 2017 – Malta
The Malta song is called “Breathlessly” and performed by Claudio Faniello.
ARTIST
Claudia’s career is one big rollercoaster of so many beautiful and different emotions. It kicked off with Malta Song for Europe back in 2006, and throughout opened so many doors for her which led to some really exciting opportunities. She grabbed every opportunity that came along – both personal and professional ones.
SONG
The song won in the Malta national final on February 18th in a competition which had far too many entries that I lost interest half way through.
Claudia feels Breathlessly captures so many special emotions in just one song. She said that, “If it manages to touch people the way it has touched me, then I will be happy. After all, the most beautiful things in this world need to be felt with the heart.” The song is composed by Philip Vella, Sean Vella and Gerard James Borg

OPINION
She sings the song nicely and it’s an okay ballad but so far there are better ballads and nothing about it really stands out for me at the moment. Well maybe nothing about the song stands out anyway but she certainly made sure she had the ‘boys’ out on display though, if you know what I mean!
PREDICTION
I think if it does qualify it will be a miracle to be honest.
LYRICS
‘I walk the streetLeaving footprints in your heart
My feet are worn
But they can handle the coldI know the game
I’ll take the blame
I wave my white flag unashamedSo, here I am
Right at your door
Catching my breath before the stormBreathlessly
I’ll be watching you breathlessly
Knowing there’s a vacancy
Within your heartBreathlessly
I’ll be holding you endlessly
Knowing that the storm
Is just about to die
My feet are worn
But they can handle the coldI know the game
I’ll take the blame
I wave my white flag unashamedSo, here I am
Right at your door
Catching my breath before the stormBreathlessly
I’ll be watching you breathlessly
Knowing there’s a vacancy
Within your heartBreathlessly
I’ll be holding you endlessly
Knowing that the storm
Is just about to die
Climbing over walls
That always felt too high
Breathlessly
I’m stepping out
Yet I feel I’m locked inside
I got the will
I learned the skill
Of a true acrobat for love
Breathlessly
I’ll be watching you breathlessly
Knowing there’s a vacancy
Within your heart
Breathlessly
I’ll be holding you endlessly
Knowing that the storm
Is just about to die
Climbing over walls
That always felt too high
Breathlessly‘
