This is not a very strong national selection, but there are some songs with potential, even though most of the songs in here are way too generic. I can only see one of these songs doing particularly well in ESC and that's "Ritmu". Anyway best of luck from Portugal 🇵🇹 🇲🇹
This is my top 22 of MESC 🇲🇹 2022: 1. Aidan Cassar - Ritmu 2. Baklava ft. Nicole - Electric Indigo 3. Richard Michallef - Hey Little 4. Mark Anthony Bartolo - Serenity 5. Emma Muscat - Out of Sight 6. Raquel Glades Briffa - Over You 7. Rachel Lowell - White Doves 8. Derrick Schembri - II 9. Giada - Revelación 10. Sarah Bonnici - Heaven 11. Denise Mercieca - Boy 12. Miriana Conte - Look What You've Done Now 13. Matt Blxck - Come Around 14. Malcolm Pisani - We Came for Love 15. Francesca Sciberras - Rise 16. Enya Magri - Shame 17.

My Ranking so far which may change. I only think the top 6-7 songs here is will do well for Malta Shame - Enya Magri Out of Sight - Emma Muscat Ritmu - Aidan Hey Little - Richard Edwards Electric Indigo - Baklava Lovers Heart - Nicole Hammett Into The Fire - Nicole Azopardi Look What You Done - Miriana Conte Over You - Raquel Revalucion - Giada Serenity - Marc Anthony Il - Derrick Schembri Kaleidoscope - Jessika We Came For Love - Malcolm Pisani Rise - Francesca Heaven - Sarah Bonnici Boy - Denise Mercieca White Doves - Rachel Lowell Army - Janice Mangion Come Around - Matt Blxck Aphrodisiac - Jessica Grech How Special You Are - Norbert
My nr 1 is: Hey little My favorites are: Hey little, White Doves, Into the fire, Come around, Kaleidoscope, Ritmu and Boy Although these are my favorite I actually think Rise will win. It just really seems like a normal boring esc ballad that any random country could send so my prediction is that malta will send it and it will be this years NQ boring ballad.
I got tired listening to all of them. ANyway: The perfect one (no revamps needed): A Lover's heart Musical revamp: Ritmu (it can turn to a song as great as She Got Me), How Special You are (revamp a la Hovi Star), hey little (just remove the oohs) Lyrical and/or musical revamp: out of sight, rise, army, kaleidoscope, we came for love, come around, into the fire, boy Dissppoinment: Electric indigo (the lyrics) The others are meh
Malta is probably going to struggle to qualify this year. The best songs in the selection would probably be borderline qualifiers and the worst songs would finish last with the televote but qualify with the juries (because the televote seems to hate Malta and the jury loves them)
The best song here is clearly 'Ritmu'. I find it unlikely though that Malta will send a song in their language, let alone sung by a male singer. But you never know... Other songs which I enjoyed are: A Lover's Heart, Electric Indigo, Hey Little, II & White Doves (+ Come Around as a guilty pleasure).
