Raul: HELLO, MALTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! SERVING VOCALS, SERVING CONFIDENCE,SERVING STAGING, SERVING PERSONALLITY, SERVING BEAUTY BLENDER!!! What else can I say???? She is amazing, the song is amazing, everything is perfect BUT, we know that Malta and televote are not friends SO WE MIGHT HAVE A SURPRISE to not have Malta in the final โ€ฆ. I hope the televote will love her as much as I do,LETโ€™S DROP A F*CKING 10 FOR THIS QUEEN
Grade:ย 10/10

Reza: Well done to Malta for delivering an amazing national final with a bunch of great songs and the winner didnโ€™t disappoint either. Serving (KANT) is a true earworm: pleasant, strong, and impressively polished. Beyond the song itself, Miriana is a fantastic vocalist who delivers it flawlessly. Her sass, charisma, and attitude are a perfect match for this entry. On top of that, the song is simply iconic and brilliantly crafted. Iโ€™m disappointed that the EBU didnโ€™t allow her to say the word KANT, but honestly, I donโ€™t think itโ€™ll hurt her chances much the arena will do its part. I love how she brings something fresh every time she performs. Canโ€™t wait to discover her secret in Basel!
Grade: 10/10

Laurentiu: Malta is finally back in the game and this time theyโ€™re not just aiming to qualify, theyโ€™re here to SERVE. Miriana’s 2025 entry, SERVING, is a powerhouse package: modern, sassy, vocally flawless, and bursting with the kind of energy Eurovision fans live for. From the very first second, this song grabs your attention and doesnโ€™t let go. Itโ€™s bold, catchy, and made for the stage; the kind of track that makes you dance in your seat and hum the hook for the rest of the day. Itโ€™s not trying to be a deep ballad or an artsy moment, for me it knows exactly what it is: fun, fierce pop with attitude. Thereโ€™s a clear Destiny vibe here, and itโ€™s not just the confident delivery or the insane vocal range but itโ€™s the whole package. Just like Destinyโ€™s โ€Je Me Casseโ€, SERVING exudes empowerment, playful energy, and the kind of personality that turns a good performance into an unforgettable moment. But where Destiny brought soul and sass, this yearโ€™s Maltese artist adds even more swagger, with sharper edges and a club-ready sound that feels very 2025. This entry doesnโ€™t feel like a joke, nor does it rely on gimmicks. Itโ€™s polished, exciting, and completely self-aware and for me this is exactly the type of song that should thrive at Eurovision. If it somehow stays in the semi-final, it would be one of the most unjust outcomes ever. Malta deserves to break the curse this year and SERVING just might be the spell they needed.
Grade: 10/10

Stefania: Malta didn’t just come to serve she opened the whole damn restaurant, and Iโ€™m already seated! A full 10/10 because Eurovision won’t let me rate higher. Honestly, the song isnโ€™t exactly looping in my playlist, but that performance? Pure wig-glue energy. I gotta keep mine secure until the finals, exactly where she belongs!
Grade: 10/10

Florin: This is pure camp and I LOVE it. Ever since I heard the 6 seconds teaser I was OBSESSED. Such a shame it got censored, but I’m sure the crowd will scream KANT at the top of their lungs in Basel. Everything from the sound to the Mean Girls/Ariana reference in the music video just works for me. My winner before the rehearsals and will probably stay there even after. For sure not an overall winner of the contest, but I think this has to be one of my all-time guilty pleasures. Guilty as charged.
Grade: 10/10

Antonio: Serving WHAT?! Maโ€™am, you just raised the bar for all of us. This song is genuinely addictive, and the effort Miriana has poured into her performance โ€” ever since the national final โ€” is absolutely insane. Iโ€™m still mad about the EBUโ€™s decision, but letโ€™s be honest: the real power lies with the audience. Weโ€™ll see how it all plays out in May. This song lives in my head rent-free, and honestly, it could give Malta its best result in a long time. TELL โ€˜EM, QUEEN! ๐Ÿ’…โค๏ธ
