Hi Gerard! How are you? Hope everythings great! I miss you a lot;) Hope to see you soon again. Please tell me if you ever come to Sweden, we could meet..
I just want you to come on over and listen to my newly written song "Patiently" Which I wrote together with the Johansson brothers. A kind of smooth, jazzish soultune..
I'm so so so sorry Gerard... the past 2 years you have sent such great entries with Vertigo and Vodka... I guess your music is too good for Eurovision...
great performance, great song, great vocals... should have passed :(
Just wanted to wish you the best of luck in Belgrade! I love the Maltese song this year! :) It would make a great winner, actually. So I hope you will do really well.
I'm gonna be working for the official ESC website this year, as a party blogger, so I'll probably see you there! :)
