Malta's entry for Eurovision 2023, represented by Miriana Conte, faces last-minute changes to her song due to its phonetic resemblance to vulgar English slang. The EBU's decision was influenced by a complaint from the BBC, emphasizing standards regarding language in the contest. Despite her disappointment, Conte vowed to continue her performance preparations. She shared her emotional response on social media, highlighting the challenges of adhering to EBU's guidelines and the urgency of the situation as deadlines loom for entry modifications.
While I'm shocked and disappointed, especially since we have less than a week to submit the song, I promise you this: the show will go on.
We can't talk about Malta's one, at all owing to the BBC's rules on the use of strong language. We definitely can't play a clip of it.
