And so it goes, year in, year out. Glen Vella, our little Maltese starlet/starling, failed to make it through the Eurovision semi finals and will not compete further. Obviously, I enjoyed your collective disappointment, although not in real time, because I was busy watching reruns of Seinfeld. However, I did feel a warm feeling wash over me when reading the leading news story on the Times of Malta this morning, entitled ‘Updated: Disappointment as Glen Vella fails to qualify for Eurovision final‘.
Perhaps I’m sick that way, but there’s nothing I love more than the collective feeling of disappointment, especially Maltese disappointment, and especially when we put Einstein’s “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” to the test. To that end, I won’t even write what I think about the Eurovision. I’ve done that to death in any case. No, what I’m doing today is giving you the the 10 best online comments about the Eurovision.

With the addition of 'black tears of joy'!
Some of the comments are hilarious, some are right on the money other plainly and patently ridiculous. You be the judge:

And on that decidedly 90s outlook, I leave you with this; “What’s better than watching the Eurovision? Following the bitchiness live on Twitter.” Thanks to everyone for their catty and scarily funny comments.

Your entry was bloody awful

Quite an avid fan Mr. A.A. Mifsud is!! As always it’s everyone’s fault, except the Maltese committee and public for sending the crappiest song ever, and more still, for even organizing the whole shenanigan! I know of a couple of roads which could have been asphalted with the money thrown away on this whole farce!! Seriously though, would any singer want to win a competition where the songs are so low a quality??
Joe Zammit (Divorce NEVER) LFMAO
HOW SAD! Poor Glenny-Wenny! I was SOOOOOOO hoping he would win. What a bitch! Our Mediterranean naybers are more interestid in sending us illegal pomegranates and all their bastid unwanted non-Christian children than voting for us. Bah! Hundbug! This is aweful and insane. Poor Glenn. Jahasra! Malta is all behind you dearest. we are so sorry that you lost. Better luck next time … that is if you get voted and if you have the courage to show your hideous mutation of a face. If the environment favours success through natural selection, then your talents must be on the wrong side of evolution! In other words …… LOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSEEERRRRR!

for all intents and purposes that was not the real Joe Zammit ;p

Quality. You could win hands down. Loathe for 2012 eurovision

there’s nothing I love more than the collective feeling of disappointment, especially Maltese disappointment -- an award winning observation. I couldn’t agree more with you.
Anglu obo il-Madonna @ Borg In Nadur (not the movie star but the divine one)
The Madonna appearing at Borg in-Nadur warned of this only the day before yesterday. She said that Malta will suffer another defeat in the Eurovision (the earthquakes had to stop because it takes more energy to fool around with plate tectonics) and keep on suffering defeats if she goes on with her hard-headed pursuit of loose morals, divorce etc. She begs “Divorce Never” and follow suit and play only Christian songs -- all this pop and shaking your booty gives her a headache (heaven doesn’t have proper sound insulation).
