Eurovision 2015: Malta: Corazón Mizzi: Secretly

Corazón Mizzi

Corazón Mizzi has become a very recognisable face as a TV host in her native Malta and is now no stranger to Eurovision fans. In fact, this will be her fourth consecutive participation in the Maltese national final and her first with a composition of her own.

In the previous contest, she missed out on the final with the song Ten. This time around she will perform Secretly, a rockier sounding ballad with lyrics which are a confession of love, as yet not reciprocated by the object of her desire.

Nothing really new there, but Ms. Mizzi gives a confident and expressive vocal to a melody that soon gets into your head after a couple of listens. This is something that competing in the Eurovision Song Contest dictates, as does the repetitive nature of these lyrics.

As the composer of both the lyrics and music, Corazón Mizzi obviously has belief in her song and this comes through in her performance. This should see her through to the final, but my feeling is that there are stronger songs, so she is unlikely to become Malta's representative in 2015.

What do you think?


Corazón performs in 15th position out of 20 competitors in the semi-final on November 21.
