The lyrics of the song that Malta wants to send to the Eurovision Song Contest have not been approved by the organizers EBU. This means that singer Miriana Conte and her team have to change the lyrics within a week.
Conte won the national final in her home country last February with the song Kant, which means to sing. In the chorus she sings about “serving kant”, which is a reference to the English term serving cunt. This means to act feminine and dress daringly, where the word cunt is also a foul language for female genitals.
Swear words and foul language in Eurovision songs are generally not tolerated. The EBU has not yet announced why the lyrics have been banned.
The 23-year-old Conte shared the news via Instagram. “We have just learned that the EBU has decided to ban the Maltese word kant in our entry,” she writes. “Although I am shocked and disappointed, especially since we have less than a week to submit the song, I promise you this: the show will go on.” Conte must submit a new version of her song by next weekend. Malta will perform in the second semi-final, on May 15. Source: nu.nl
