If we Maltese are not good for anything, we are so good in plagiarizing music that we fool entire nations. Take a tried and tested song from the past, change the lyrics (unless you're Klinsmann and don't even bother!), and drop the key by a few tonal intervals to adjust the melody to your not well developed vocal range. Take a look at the following clips of the Maltese winners of the past two editions (2012, 2013) alongside with the 'what I think where plagiarized from' and judge by yourselves:
2012 Edition:
Alexandra Stan - Get Back ASAP (Original):
Kurt Calleja - This is the night (Maltese winner):
2013 Edition:
Train - Soul Sisters (Original):
Gianluca Bezzina - Tomorrow (Maltese winner):
And for the simpletons who say that 'they just share the same style'...there are 7 basic notes and 120 pitch sounds in music with an infinite number of intervallic possibilities to choose from.
